    I've been coming to Hwang's for years now and it always taste the same: good. I'm not going to tell you they're serving up USDA prime and you will come out smelling like roses. I would be lying.  I will tell you the meat average, but taste good.  They have solid selection of sides including my scallion pancake.  Oh and you will come out smelling like a chimney.  The thing is that I always enjoy my food here and never had a problem.  So if you're in the mood for old reliable then drop by Hwang's.

    Always great service and quality of food! One of the hidden gems of KBBQ! Make sure you wear sweat pants!

    Words of caution: you will leave the restaurant smelling like a whole lotta KBBQ. No doubt about it! Leave your sunglasses in the car, take off your watches, keep your cell phone in your pockets, all that will smell!

    Now back to the review. Hwang's is actually really decent in my books. It's hard to find good gogi out of K-Town LA...until I found Hwang's. Minus the poor air/smoke circulation inside the restaurant, the service was pretty good, the price was reasonable ($22.99 per person), the Bachans were good and the meats were tasty and fresh.

    This ain't your K-Town AYCE KBBQ Restaurant, no loud music, no big crowds, no valet parking, just your small KBBQ restaurant. For $22.99 you get all your usual suspects, Kalbi, Bulgogi, Chado, chicken, pork belly, and a couple of other proteins. The marinated Kalbi and Bulgogi were tasty, they're my go to meats...! I believe Hwang's has a separate non-AYCE Menu as well. The veggies (and salad) were also tasty too.

    Firm 4-Stars. I liked it.

    Their meat isn't fresh...the meat had frost on it and was stuck together. Their beef ribs were brown. I was starving but I couldn't stomach it.

    Definitely won't be back.

    $21 for all you can eat.

    I've been on the hunt for decent kbbq in the  southbay but still no luck. I guess you can only get good kbbq and service in Koreatown or a few places in Orange County.

    PROS
    You do have the option to ring a bell next to your table for service. I also like the hooks they placed on the wall to hang your bags. The food is somewhat better quality but you get very limited choices.

    CONS
    The waitresses here are nice but after a while, they disappear and their service becomes non-existent. Not much to choose from on the menu. We did not recieve a grill change at all. You have to sit on tiny spinning stools (RIP bad backs). Very pricy.
