“ Awesome atmosphere, and delicious. Lot places kinda throw u the menu but here they're very attentive service ”
“ WOW the service here is amazing! all the ajummas and servers were super attentive and made sure we were well fed throughout the entirety of the meal. loved the variety in side dishes! pricey menu but good quality meat! the short rib and beef brisket was my favorite. best part? they cook it to perfection for you! i loved the kimchi friend rice, steamed egg and soup that was included! spacious interior! a lot of seating especially for bigger groups/parties. definitely will be back when im in the area. ”
“ The best part of this place is the banchan - the fish cakes and the potatoes were the stars, but honestly we enjoyed them all and appreciated the free banchan refills. We got the Shilla A Sampler ($90) which included three meats. We chose the beef bulgogi, beef brisket, and the thinly sliced pork. We greatly appreciated that the staff cooked everything for us, but unfortunately the meat dried out quickly after cooking and became chewy. The dipping sauces helped a ton and were delicious but we were underwhelmed with the quality of all three meats for the price. We came on a Friday evening around 5:30 and were seated immediately - i made a reservation on Yelp just in case but didnt need it, as there were plenty of tables open. Parking at that time was easy but the lot was almost full by the time we left around 7. Staff was all very helpful and it seems that all staff help all tables, which means fast and attentive service! ”
“ We were a table of 5 and waited a bit for the table to be ready while there were a lot of other tables filled. The servers were nice otherwise, but was a little bit of an odd start seeing people just walking back and forth but seemingly doing any tasks. Once we were seated, service was pretty good. Combo B-B was enough for 5 of us. Meat quality was good and they cook it for you which is a plus. I liked the cooking surface they have, and they even have little racks to put the cooked meat which was really nice so it didn't overcook. Banchan was pretty standard and they did have radish wraps. After the meat is cooked, they make a kimchi fried rice at the end which looked flavorful in that deep orange kimchi color, but just tasted so/so. Not packed with flavor and a little soft. We ended the meal with cold noodle which really hit the spot! It was nice and slushy! So refreshing after a heavier, meaty meal. ”
“ If you're looking for Korean barbecue in a cozy environment, this is it. At Shilla, the ahjummas (Korean ladies) will cook the meats for you and are always encouraging you to eat more XD Now that we're heading into a chilly winter this year, I wanna make sure ya'll have this spot saved for your LA food bucket list. The quality of all their meats is just unparalleled--the ladies will literally pick off the excess fat when they're cooking while making sure every cut is grilled to perfection. And this is the perfect place for family-style sharing so you can try a little bit of everything, like seafood ramen and galbi tang (beef short rib soup). I loooved their seafood pancake and would absolutely go back just for this! And you know their food is made with love when their kimchi fried rice is cooked right in front of you in a heart...so freakin' adorable. Thanks for reading! ^-^ ”
