Hey Culver City community, galbi king is now permanently closed and is undergoing a name change! It says in Google it is called "Pine Tree KBBQ" when they open I will review it and show yall photos! Thank you Galbi King for all the wonderful people, community and memories!! I will always be grateful

FYI I went there the other day saw this sign - they are now CLOSED and going under renovation due to ownership change!! (Shows open on Google)

We arrived Friday night at 7pm and the wait was an hour. That was expected for a Friday night so we just waited in the car and ran out to check frequently. The wait was well worth it because it was a such a great value. For $26.99 per person, you get to order 3 meats at a time, and each person can order a steamed egg or a tofu soup. And both the steam egg and tofu soup had great flavor. They were delicious! I liked all the sides (banchan) they offered too: fish cake, potato salad, cucumber salad, kimchi, japchae (glass noodles) etc. Service was excellent. The servers were very generous with the portions of meats they brought out. Carlos, was especially helpful! We ordered bulgogi, kalbi, and beef brisket. They brought out huge plates of each! You can ask for bean paste and white rice. The bulgogi was our least favorite. The inside is dated and could use better ventilation. We sat in the back and it was very smoky in there, Despite the dated interior, the great food, excellent service and amazing value more than made up for it!

Honestly, being the only AYCE Kbbq in Culver City, this place is perfect. It's a little cheaper than most Koreatown places, around 32.99 for AYCE/dinner price (most places sharing 35-40 now). The service is prompt and to the point, how I like it!! They will not baby you, cut your meat, etc. You can request though obviously. Meat comes out quick. Grill changes happen quickly. The banchan is decent, their kimchi is actually quite good. They have good cuts of chadol, samgyupsar. Their galbi is not your premium LA Galbi cuts, but it's honestly a huge bang for your buck. they do NOT take reservations and they do get quite busy. Waited about an hour on a Saturday night at 7pm. they can accommodate some larger parties but nothing larger than 7/8. Big parking lot!

It's been a while since we got food here... we used to go and eat there in person but the wait time was too long. So, we decided to order food "to go"... Well, it was delicious as usual. I do love Korean food. I had the spicy squid and my favorite husband got the bilgoggi! The tofu soup and the condiments that come with our order was fantastic. A neighborhood favorite in my community with plenty of parking... my only issue is STYROFOAM containers... not sure why they have not changed that ( they must have bought a boatload of them from the past) but not environmental friendly. So, maybe they will see this review and figure out a better solution. Still gonna give them 5 stars because their food is consistently fabulous and the waitstaff are lovely. They recognized my husband and were very friendly ! Best Korean food on my side of town and prices have not been hiked! Next time we will go in person!

Pretty good bbq for the price! We came on a weekday and it was packed, great energy and it didn't feel stuffy at all. The portions were generous and the meat was decent quality. My favorite was the service, we were served by a really hardworking waiter, and never had to ask for a grill change or water refill. I would come back.
