Shilla Restaurant — Restaurant in Gardena

Don’t go here. You WILL be sorry. Way over priced. Bland food. Rude inattentive staff especially to non-Korean customers. The worst experience I think I’ve had in California during all the time we’ve been eating out here. We won’t go back. And you shouldn’t go at all.We were sooooo uncomfortable here. Wish we had ran from this place instead of going in for what they offered. Rip off!

I encourage people to take cameras to this place they blatantly push the line toward discrimination if not crossing it. Read the Yelp reviews. I hope someone sues this place. We won’t go back so it won’t be us. But take your camera, we filmed our episode just in case we needed the evidence.

Dude calling himself a manager/owner tried showing us invoices for his purchases for the place after we complained about their old and stale flat beer served with our meal. Nothing is worst than old flat Sapporo! We demanded they deduct that cost from our meal - which we wouldn’t nor could consume. The creepy owner manger dude repeatedly insulted us and threatened to call someone on us. Actually he called someone and demanded we speak to them on his sweaty phone which was just taken from his ear. We refused and held our ground till they deducted $$$ from our total bill and we left.

You don’t need this hassle. I hope they get shut down or sued for an awful lot of money. Stay away! You’ve been warned.

Note to creepy Shilla BBQ manager dude, being rude and ignorant is no cover for trying to rip folks off. Not the American way in my opinion, it’s the way of a bad con artist and wanna be bully. Didn’t work...

Known for their pork belly, this KBBQ differentiates itself by using a cast-iron cook top instead of the more common open flame grill. This results in more evenly cooked food and nearly no smoke.

Food is cooked for you by your server, unless you really want to do it yourself. I like this because it gives you time to hang out and talk instead of having to moderate your time.

The ban-chan is incredible and the food just keeps coming! Make sure you save some room for the fried rice at the end (it soaks up all of the juices and caramelized bits from the food). Cheese corn, fish cakes, and bean sprouts are just some of the included sides that will keep you munching while a new batch of meat cooks.

6 of us split 2 bottles of soju, 3-750ml beers, 4 orders of pork belly, and 2 orders of pork neck. Came out to be around $50 each. Worth every damn penny, needed to be rolled out of the restaurant. Make...

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...
