3.5 stars. Food is good and they have a large footprint so great for big groups. That said, workers looked stressed. Maybe they got burned and mistreated by customers in the past. Our group (25 people) had a great time. Food was good. I didn’t feel welcomed. I know I know, first world problems. For me, being welcomed at a restaurant is part of the dining experience. That said, I’m at an Ayce buffet, not a Michelin star restaurant. So def giving them the benefit of the doubt as a one off. We had a good time hence rounding up on the stars. Good food ;)

Incredible, as a local this place went above and beyond my expectation! The staff made part of the magic here always smiling and helping out with the cooking of the meats and were very considerate even though it was close to closing time. Additionally the open bar and the meats were FANTASTIC. Great quality for what you pay and I will definitely be coming back! What a fantastic Experience :). I also left FULL!!!!

AYCE KBBQ AND FREE PARKING IN DTLA? This is the spot for you! Definitely a hidden gem in Little Tokyo! You can order 3 dishes at a time and you will not be left disappointed! I tried the Black Menu and this is what I got: #25 Angus Rib Eye Steak (limit 1 per person) – Premium steak cut, high quality and expensive. #26 Giant Beef Rib (limit 1 per 2 people) – Rare, massive, and pricey—worth maximizing. #24 LA Galbi (Marinated Short Ribs) – Classic Korean BBQ favorite and one of the priciest cuts. #30 Spicy Marinated Crab (Raw) – Unique, labor-intensive, and not usually offered at AYCE. #27 Sliced Beef Tongue Again, 3 hours of free parking, a full cocktail bar with strong drinks, and you will have soo many items to choose from!

If you’re looking for an all-you-can-eat KBBQ spot in Little Tokyo that actually delivers on both meat quality and price, KB333 is a must-try. We went with the Premium Black option ($48.99) and it was worth every bite. The spread included: 2x Prime Beef Brisket Angus Ribeye Steak Giant Rib (juicy + tender) Mushrooms Cheese Fondue Steamed Egg Shrimp Marinated Short Ribs Marinated Galbi What really stood out: A buffet-style bar loaded with sides and extras to balance the meats Excellent quality cuts for the price point The service was smooth, meats came out quickly, and the portions were generous. If you love loading up the grill with a mix of premium cuts + fun extras, this is the spot. KB333 – Little Tokyo, Los Angeles

Ever dream about having spicy raw marinated crab as an option at an All You Can Eat Korean BBQ restaurant? Well, dreams DO come true @mannakbbq.la, located in the heart of LA in Downtown’s Little Tokyo. Along with 3⃣ hours of free parking and a full cocktail bar with colorfully strong drinks, you will have over 4⃣5⃣ items to choose from, including hot and cold dishes from their large buffet area and every type of meat and seafood option you can think of (and not!), including their Giant Beef Rib and Angus Ribeye Steak If you STILL have room for more, then definitely add Mul Naengmyeon to end your meal on a tangy, savory, and slightly sweet note

Love how they have three options for all you can eat. The meat quality here is pretty good, I liked their beef belly, Galbi and rib fingers. Their salad bar/hot buffet area had a lot to offer as well. The place was very spacious. The servers are friendly and attentive. Also they validate 3 hours free parking! That’s very rare in LA!
