Tk92 Korean Bbq - San Gabriel

In the end, our bill came to just over $300, and I left disappointed with the experience. I can’t shake the feeling that we were placed at the small table because I’m Asian. Overall, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

I absolutely love this restaurant! I've been a regular since before the pandemic. At first glance, it may seem unremarkable, but once you're inside, the atmosphere is fantastic. It can get a bit noisy during peak times, but it’s not overwhelming like at some other places. I've always had a good experience with the staff; while I haven’t had any extraordinary interactions, they are friendly, quick to clear tables, and always ensure that the grills are clean. I constantly recommend this spot to my friends and look forward to returning! As for parking, they have an underground garage. On busier days, it can be a challenge to find a spot, but at least you won’t have to circle around searching.

The quality of the meat was excellent! I really enjoyed the top three selections. The service was outstanding, and the staff frequently came by to change my grill pan. I wish I could have eaten more, but I was too full. I visited on a Monday evening, so I didn't have to wait long at all.

I loved everything about this spot. The entryway has plenty of pink and a Transor Z (I think) statue that is as tall as a human and then when you walk into the main dining area, the ceilings are super tall with interesting lights that hang into the space. The service was great and the two guys that were helping us were pretty outstanding inconsistently changed our grills so that we wouldn't have that burnt meat smell. Call the meat was quite high but I will say the sides were also pretty delicious including the cut up cream and pancake and the Korean fried rice although I'm not sure what this dish is called. The only mediocre thing was the ramen, which felt like instant ramen and maybe it is, and the rest of the quality of the condiments I thought were quite high, crisp, and fresh. Would definitely come here again!

Great food, great staff. Nian our server is amazing, i'll give him a 5 stars!
