Supposedly, Jian BBQ has great food. I wouldn't know. I never actually got to eat there. I had the worst customer service I've ever experienced in a restaurant and left before we actually ordered. In my defense, I did try to order several times. But it just didn't work out. More to come in a bit.
Meanwhile, if you're looking for a good Korean barbecue restaurant in Los Angeles, there are several.
A personal favorite is Road to Seoul, an all-you-can-eat joint down on Western and Pico. For the bargain price of $16.99, you get all the panchan you want, including kimchi pancake, plus a nice selection of meats (ranging from the traditional galbi and bulgogi to sirloin, brisket, chicken, even baby octopus). The food is fantastic, rivaling the quality at many of the non-AYCE places, and the wait staff is extremely friendly. So if you're thinking about Jian BBQ, do yourself a favor and go to Road to Seoul instead.

I am SOOO glad there are others out there with whom I can share my hatred for Jian BBQ. I, too, got completely hosed by these people! My experience at Jian BBQ was THE WORST! Between the horrendous customer service and the lackluster food, I would've been better off going to In 'N Out. Heinous.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I did try Road to Seoul...AWESOME!
In conclusion, Jian BBQ SUCKS.
