Baekjeong - Temple City

“ My friends and i went here for lunch one day and it was very nice - we didnt have to wait at all. I didnt look at the menu so i didnt know how it worked - everything is either separate or a combo. It is not all you can eat. We got a large combo for 3 of us We got some delicious tender beef, marinated bulgogi, spicy pork belly, kimchi soup, pork slices and maybe brisket. This place is different in that they have cheese and corn and then egg around the grill that heats up and you eat it as a side. I wasnt expecting the staff to cook it for you and that was nice since my friends could focus on each other and not cooking. While i found everything to be delicious i do feel it was very over priced. I wouldnt come back due to that reason when i can get very elaborate ayce for $55. Or sushi for $40. I spent $50 just at this lunch. And our drinks were not refilled but our sides were. The restaurant is clean and a big space and everyone was professional. Plenty of parking. I would recommend to try it if you want a more fine-dining bbq experience. ”

“ Baekjeong has become a golden staple in the 626 for Korean BBQ. Located in the Camellia Square plaza, parking is ample in the lot and underground. I came during lunch time on a Friday with a friend right when they opened so there wasn't much of a line (although there usually is!) The restaurant at night does get very busy and noisy though so just prepare for that if you come for dinner! Going at lunch time was really fun, the restaurant wasn't as busy so the servers were able to serve and cook for us which we always enjoy. My friend and I got the Beef Combo (S) and shared it. The beef combo was a great amount for the two of us even though we were hungry. It came with all of the banchan and cheese corn as well! The meat was so tender and good as always and we had some Cass beer as well. The server was very attentive and continued to assist us in cooking and making sure we had enough banchan. He ever offered us another bottle of Cass on the house which we respectfully declined! Overall, it's always a good time at Baekjeong and would recommend it to anyone passing by or craving some KBBQ! ”

“ Good food, good service, good experience. I usually go to the one at the Chapman Plaza in Ktown but since my friend and I were close by, we decided to give it a try. , It's not AYCE, they do offer combos or a la carte. The price is about $40+ per person (if splitting) if you want to eat really well. I came here on a Monday night around 6 pm with my friend, and there were plenty of seats. However, by about 7, the place started to fill up! The staff is nice, they don't do unnecessary conversations and just do their work. Some people might find that unfriendly, since some Korean BBQ staff are friendly and talkative in a good way (which I have experienced as well). quantity We got the small beef combo, and it was actually a good qty for 2 people, and that was about $85-$90. You can do your own add-ons, like truffle rice, etc. I think this is a great way to try this place out if this is your first time. It's a good place for group dinners, dates or family gatherings! Calling ahead or creating a reservation (if applicable) is recommended. ”

“ Ive had KBBQ in Korea multiple times and this place still remains one of my favorite spots. I am a Baekjeong lover and although I prefer the Ktown location this one is much closer to the 626. This time we went on a Sunday around 12pm and were seated quickly with no wait. Our waiter honestly took forever to tend to us but once we ordered and started eating the food was so good I didnt even care that much about the service. We ordered the Large beef combo w/ soybean soup, extra banchan sides, and a bowl of rice. The large combo realistically serves 3 til full if you're eating everything on the table as in finishing the sides, the soup, the egg, and the meat etc, but if you're strictly coming for meat it wont fill you up just with the meat by itself. The meat was cooked quickly which we enjoyed and to our liking (medium rare). They don't serve broccoli as banchan anymore and their kimchi was not really that good. The kimchi was not fermented long enough and just lackluster. The salad bowl is small and not enough green quality pieces and it was the cheap parts of the romaine lettuce. I like that their rice paper was fresh and not hard like some places. They give refills of the corn cheese and the egg which we enjoyed. The star here is really the meat and although I prefer the plain meats over the marinated meats (like the marinated short rib) the meat quality is really good. ”

“ This is one of my favorite places for Korean BBQ! The quality of the meat, the flavors, and the overall experience keep me coming back. ::Food:: We always go for the Beef Combo, which comes with thinly sliced brisket, seasoned prime boneless short rib, prime boneless short rib, and prime beef brisket soybean paste stew. Every bite is so good, I could seriously eat it every day. The short ribs are packed with flavor, and I always ask for a mesh grill. I think it makes such a difference, giving the meat that perfect char and enhancing the taste. The soybean paste stew is rich and comforting. ::Customer Service:: Peter is amazing! He's super attentive, friendly, and always making sure we have everything we need. One thing I really appreciate is how he checks in to see how we like our meat. Even when it gets busy, he still takes the time to provide great service. ::M's Notes:: - Indoor seating - Parking lot available, but it fills up fast ”
