Magal BBQ: Reviews & Ratings
Pretty authentic and tasty Korean BBQ! Service is excellent, servers try their best to cook for you which is rare for where I’m from - Vancouver Canada where most restaurants let you cook for yourself and you have to tip them - make no sense for me lol. Meat is fresh, but I just would like to see more options for dipping sauce. Had a good dinner here. Valet is $3 FYI - cheap!
Good quality cuts of meat, good and varied spread of banchang, excellent cold soup with acorn jelly. Very attentive staff, who kept a very close eye on the meat preparation. Had the Supreme combo and it was plenty enough for 2 people. Will definitely go back.
A very unique experience. Ordering a combo is recommend because it's not an all-you-can eat restaurant. The staff is very friendly but also sort of rush you through your meal. Volcano rice is definitely a must-have.
Phenomenal KBBQ place! First off, we tried going to Baek Jeong on a Friday night about 8pm. Bad idea. Parking was trash and looked like a long wait anyway. I had this spot marked as back up so Magal here we come. First off, parking was really easy. Private parking in back. Had valet, but only $3 service charge. Place was busy, but able to seat us right away. Meat quality and service was spectacular. They do cook for you here again. Heard they stopped for a while. They work as a team, so meat is cooked and served very efficiently. Our first sever Tae Woo was awesome. He was hustling and very friendly. When we had a few other servers come by, they were good, but not as friendly. Anyway, found our alternative for quality Kbbq in the KTown area, especially if you don’t want to waste time waiting at the other over hyped places.
They only serve Prime USDA or more premium meats here and you can really taste it. The meat is really tender if cooked right. Make sure to eat the meat with the salads and sauces that come with the side dishes, I'm sure y'all know about those. Magal is NOT an AYCE KBBQ! However I would recommend the combo deals. Comes with around 3 to 4 plates of meat. We got the Large Combo and it was plenty of meat for 3 ppl. The soy bean paste soup is phenomenal may bea tad bit spicy for some. They add little pieces of chadol in the soup. The grills come with steamed egg and corn on the side. They cook the meat for you usually. Service is great. Fast service, they gave us the extra dishes we asked for right away. The parking is valet right behind the restaurant for $3 may change over time. Would def come again. The meat is worth the price. Although prices have gone up all around ktown if not the world. A+ from me!!
Fresh and juicy Beef Combo. Awesome service. Friendly staff. Meat is always top notch. I recommend trying tea, very interesting taste. The atmosphere invites you to eat delicious food and meet friends.
Super great Korean BBQ! Great meat quality and decent price. The portion of dishes are larger than we expected. Parking is also convenient. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant, and they provide vallet parking with $3.
Honestly the best koren BBQ I’ve had in a long time. The setting is real nice inside, spacious, each table has their own fan above it so you smell less like the meat cooked by the time you leave. If you’re coming with a group, order a set. I was with 4 people and the 4-person set was the perfect amount of food. Nice variety of cold appetizers. I like how their egg is cooked next to the meat in a customized heating pan. Their amazing staff help cook your meat you can sit back and enjoy the experience. I ate my fill and my total was under $40, which is amazing for KBBQ. Definitely coming back here!
