Burnin' Shell

CAN ONLY ORDER PREFIXE MENU! I came here alone once because I had some time before getting to the airport, I saw that they allowed a la carte so I went in but it was not the case. With that said, Absolutely my favorite spot in LA. I love everything about this place. Seafood is fresh, side dishes are superior, pancake was amazingly crispy and well seasoned. Ceviche was so freaking good. Corn cheese is just perfect. Pairing all these sides with the seafood was absolutely amazing. We had way more food than we could ever finish. I can’t imagine anything more perfect. I just wish they allow a single person to come in and order it. Service is superior. They work very hard to cook the food for you, making sure everything is cooked to perfection. Price is also amazing. It is a very good deal. Would come back here every time I come to LA

⚠️PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING (not biased and I don’t know any of the owners or servers), truly from the bottom of my heart I absolutely fell inlove with this place at first taste. I came with a party of 6, and let me just say we ordered a small pot and the $229 (I think) barbecue included 8+ side dishes, we were all full and had to stuff the rest down because it was too good to go to waste. The portions are just 100/10! Not to mention they actually made our extra order of vegetables free💗🥹 The staff were super attentive, nice, and very pretty hahaha! The atmosphere is also very nice, very clean environment. I love this place and i will keep coming back, everytime i come to LA! please open a location in Vancouver I love you guys!

I checked out this spot last Saturday for dinner. We got there pretty early around 5 PM and we were seated right away. The place is really small, and I don’t think they take reservations, but they do have a waitlist. We ordered the crew set, which is meant for three people, and it came with all the banchan from the companion’s list. Everything was flavorful. I get why people mention the clams being tiny after cooking, but that’s just how clams are. If that’s a concern, you can always order à la carte. Since we were a party of three, we added another pancake and cheese corn. Just a heads up, you have to pay for extra banchan, unlike some regular K-BBQ spots where it’s unlimited. We also tried the sea eel. It was good, but I wasn’t blown away, and honestly, the menu felt a bit limited. This place was hyped up a lot on IG, but for me, it didn’t quite live up to that. The staff were great and really attentive and ready to help at any moment. One tip: they provide a single glove, so use it to handle the burning hot shells and avoid burning your skin! Overall, it’s a little too far for me so I’d probably choose another spot for this kind of meal closer to home.

Good food and friendly service. Best Korean pancake I've had. Note the suggested tip % has the tax included in the calculation.

This was a great, authentic culinary experience! Every single side dish and seafood tasted fresh and excellent; the kimchi was good too. Even my dad who’s from the seaside of Korea loved it. Definitely would like to come back. P.S. leave room for kalgooksoo at the end.
