Furusato BBQ,

16410 South Western Avenue, Gardena, CA 90247

"Korean BBQ all you can eat. Pretty good, haven't been here in awhile...... used to be very cheap, now it's $25/person. Kids 5-7, $10. 8-11, $16. But most places have gone up since covid. No galbi here, just bulgogi, brisket, spicy pork, pork belly, chicken, and beef belly (thin sliced short rib). Not a whole variety but these are the main meats."

"The food is pretty delicious. It is also more interesting that you will cook the meat yourself on the built-in table grill. Prices are expensive, you will pay $24 for a serving of barbecue meat. Also, if you sit together at a large table and people sit down to you, then a plastic transparent partition will be placed between you, which does not help at all. The waiter rarely comes to the table. But in general, this place is always crowded, the interior is simple, the food is delicious although expensive. However, you get a lot of free sides as rice, kimchi, salad and many other dishes. I recommend!"

"Service here was amazing!! Family run restaurant, the staff was so attentive in making sure we had everything we needed and the price was so worth it for all you can eat. Definitely recommend trying the brisket it was my favourite ᵕ̈"

"We were so sad when Furusato was closed at the beginning of the pandemic so super excited to find out it reopened! However, the receipt states that the store is "Ko Hyang Gal Bi" so not sure if there's a ownership change but they kept the Furusato name on the store since that's what the locals know it as..? Food/Taste/Flavor: 2/5 - most of their dishes would benefit from thinner and more consistent slices. Our order of beef brisket had some that were super chewy just because the slice was thicker and required longer cooking time than others. The beef belly was fairly consistent as was the pork belly. The galbi beef tasted mostly of soy sauce and oil but was missing the sweetness from the brown sugar. Both the rice paper and radish paper were oddly thick. The kimchi wasn't marinated enough Ambience: 5/5 - the remodel of the store did wonders and the grills have been updated as well for hotter fires Service: 5/5 - all the servers are really nice and attentive. They stop by to check on us as they walk past Value for price: 1/5 - while the price has almost doubled, the meat quality has not improved. Unfortunately, this was our favorite cheap BBQ place previously but now it doesn't meet the quality nor price expectations anymore :("
