Service was on point. Nice atmosphere with a bit on noisy side. Good place to hangout. Except the meat were really chewy , even then we got deluxe. Side dishes bulgogi, spicy squid and pork belly are the only things we were able to chew. After chewing their meat I might need to visit dentist. I pend $260 something for meat that i can't even swallowed. I Won't go bk. I feel bad for the servers because they were all very attentive. No desert either.

I don't know what can I say. It looks like it's more for a younger crowd. Very small selection of meats and the quality while it's not bad, isn't what I am used to. I guess for $36.00 what can you expect. Imagine there was a time you could pay $12.00 for AYCE. Anyway, long story short, I won't be visiting again.

If I could give 0 stars, then I would definitely do so. This is not an exaggerated review as I eat out a lot with my family and I've had many experiences with bad restaurants. This was overall a terrible experience and I don't believe we will be coming back anytime in the future. The service is very bad, there were people throwing dishes and dirty pans behind our seats, and it was very unsettling and loud. The restaurant is very loud in general, and the pans didn't make it any better and we ended up leaving early because of the noise. The food was also terrible. We ordered the premium package for $39.99 per person and I have never tasted such terrible meat from a BBQ restaurant before. We ordered many dishes including pork belly, steak, marinated beef, etc. The marinated meat had absolutely no flavor at all, and the meat was hard. The only dish that tasted somewhat decent was the pork belly. The beef tongue was also incredibly hard, their beef was also very hard almost like leather. I've never had a worse experience dining at a restaurant before. The service was also slow and terrible. It takes a lot of effort to get a waiter at our table. When we arrived and left, there was no waiter at the front at all and we had to wait a while. Ordering food took quite a bit of time, and when we called for a check we had to call a waiter 4 times and took 20 minutes. I highly recommend not coming here.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Called ahead of time at 8:00 PM and asked if we came before 10:30 could we be seated . The girl on the phone said yes , come before 9:30 pm , and you can be seated . Got there at 8:50 pm and everyone acted like they couldn’t see us standing there at the front desk. Kept tryna get attention, couldn’t. 9:05 came , finally some acknowledgment, asked to be seated for 2 , the girl said “ oh actually we closed our waitlist.” I said “ we called at 8:00 and asked if we come before 10:30 can we be seated , you or some other girl said “ yes if you come before 9:30, it’s 9:05” and she said “ well we are closing it and can’t be seated, sorry have a good night “ and left. But as we walked out proceed to seat two walk ins. I don’t know if this had to do with race and skin color, as we walked in many people Judged me and my Hispanic/ Black partner and I. But we were very excited to try this food and eat something new at a potentially cool spot as it looked amazing inside . Disappointed that we won’t because we will never return here again. Be aware if you’re of darker skin tone.

TK92 Korean BBQ offers an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ experience. The ambiance is both inviting and spacious. You choose between two options from the all-you-can-eat menu: the Deluxe Barbecue for $36.99 or the Premium Barbecue for $39.99. There are a variety of meat options and side orders available. Our favorites was the seasoned boneless short rib. Some of the cuts we received were overly chewy and tough. The customer service experience here is exceptional! The team was incredibly attentive, ensuring our water was always topped up, the grill was promptly changed, and they frequently checked in to see if we needed more meat. Kenneth delivered outstanding service; he consistently checked on us and readily answered any menu-related queries. Diona was also very warm and friendly, continuously offering additional items from the menu.

In a sea of A5, wagyu, kobe style bbq places opening up these days, come along the higher-end prices and memberships. It seems like a good KBBQ these days costs an average of $60+/pp = :/ I won't say TK92 is bad quality or bottom of the barrel but I very much appreciate they are not forcibly up-selling you on all these much higher price meats, especially if I'm not on the hunt for them. The meats were still great here, I was satisfied and full. One thing I'll say is that many of the nonmeat dishes were better quality than I've had at other restaurants, even ones that specialize in them. I know you're not supposed to fill up on the carbs, but the Jjolmyeon (spicy cold noodles) was so good here. Great presence with the spice and sweetness as well as the chew from the noodles. This with some freshly grilled meat was the best bite. Another noteworthy nonmeat dish was the Japchae. I was let down spicy rice cake was on the menu but they didn't actually have it. I'm not sure if they just didn't have it that night, or if it's just completely off the menu. I do like how the banchans were already at the table when we sat down so we could get started on them right away. One fault of this though was items that should be hot were no longer hot, such as the pancake & Japchae. I was surprised there was no kimchi, so we asked for some and it seems they don't readily have it at the table like the other banchan. There are 2 tiers, the cheaper one $36.99 while the other is $39.99. With the higher tier, I think the only difference is you get 3 other meat selections with one of them being the Premium Marinated Beef Short Rib (only one order per person). This was the most tender meat I had. None of the meats left me dissatisfied and with that, I go back to the much higher priced AYCE (more premium) places you can find in the greater LA area. I'm not a butcher, and the meats are already good here, so I have a hard time justifying the more premium cuts. Yes they might be more tender (sometimes not), better marbling. But I don't see that much of a difference. Service was great here and I never had to hunt sometime down to get a grill change or order meats. You can only order 3 meats each round just FYI, but it wasn't an issue. It seems they don't do any type of dessert for bdays, but instead comped a bottle of soju which I think is even better. It's more spacious here than even I knew and I think that's because of the really high ceilings. Tables appear to be spaced apart fairly well so it did not feel too cramped even though it was busy when I went. There is a comic/anime/retro aesthetic to the place that is pretty cool. There is a fairly sized waiting area that I feel as though could be its own separate bar area and perhaps was one at a time. There is a parking lot with narrow spots which are sometimes hard to find because it fills up fast. If you are looking for some KBBQ in the area and don't want to break the bank you should check out TK92. Cheers!
