NUBIANI - Koreatown

I wish it wasn’t so good bc it’s so $$$ but it really is 😭 A premium kbbq experience for sure. The meat is fresh & delicious and all the food is well made & flavorful. The chefs cooking the meat for you are clearly experienced and truly make it taste better than cooking it yourself. Generally, you can just tell that they’re very intentional about everything from food, service, to decor. Great for a special occasion - definitely get a reservation and enjoy kbbq!

I was blown away by Nubiani. I have never experienced Korean BBQ like this. Their service was just incredible! You essentially had a table side chef the whole meal and they cooked all the meats for you perfectly. When I finished a bowl of rice, I did not expect them to bring me a new bowl of rice without even asking. They refilled the sides as well. The meats were amazing quality. We ordered the nubiani combo and it fed 4 of us perfectly. We also ordered the beef tartare and miso cod as well for appetizer. Both so delicious. Honestly I thought the prices were kind of expensive initially but after the whole dining experience I felt like the price is very well justified and fair!

The atmosphere here is wonderful, but the service is what truly stands out, they are incredibly attentive and keep the appetizers flowing. One of the biggest wins is the ventilation; unlike most Korean BBQ spots, you won't leave smelling like smoke. They also cook the food for you, ensuring a level of quality and precision that most DIY BBQ places lack. To top it all off, the meal ends with a delicious orange-syrup ice cream (with real orange pieces!), and it’s all-you-can-eat. ​Pro-tip: The location is a bit tucked away on the second floor. Don’t get discouraged if you feel lost—just ask the lobby attendant for directions. Also, keep in mind this is a reservation-only spot!

Best KBBQ I’ve ever had. The employees and service are so good and it’s perfect for a nice casual dinner. We got the large beef package, A5 wagyu, and shrimp chive pancake. The meat quality was insane and the pancake was great. One of my favorite side dishes was the kimchi stew - it was the best I’ve tasted. I will definitely be going so much more! You definitely get your money’s worth here

I had a really great experience at Nubiani. The food was really, really good. I ordered the beef small package and added the Wagyu — and wow, that Wagyu was incredibly tender and juicy. Honestly, once you try the Wagyu, it’s hard to go back to the other meats in the beef small package because they feel noticeably tougher in comparison. Still tasty, but the Wagyu definitely steals the show. I also tried the Hamachi tartare, which was delicious, though probably skippable if you’re mainly here for the barbecue. It’s a nice extra if you’re with a big group or just really hungry. The cold buckwheat noodles were good, but a bit too soft for my liking — I prefer them with a bit more bite. The kimchi stew, which came with our beef package, had a strong, bold kimchi flavor — perfect if you love a
