Joa Korean BBQ Menu (Update Menu 2026)

The JOK Korean BBQ began as a small, family-run eatery in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, founded by Chef Joon Oh Kim—whose initials inspired the name JOK. What started as a cozy neighborhood spot soon grew into a must-visit destination for authentic Korean grilling, drawing in locals and tourists alike. The JOK Korean BBQ menu has evolved, expanding from traditional bulgogi and galbi to inventive modern plates that fuse Korean flavors with global twists.

Its popularity soared through word of mouth—especially for its perfectly marinated meats and flavorful dipping sauces. Yet, many diners don’t realize there’s a secret menu featuring off-the-menu cuts, spicy kimchi fried rice with short rib, and a smoky garlic butter pork belly that insiders swear by.

Still, after all these years, the original marinated galbi remains the heart and soul of JOK Korean BBQ—proving that classics never fade.
