Top Pot & Korean BBQ began as a humble neighborhood eatery in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, founded by two friends passionate about authentic Korean grilling and modern fusion dining. From its first sizzling tabletop grill, the Top Pot & Korean BBQ menu quickly gained attention for its generous cuts of marinated meats, traditional banchan, and late-night gatherings that captured the true essence of Korean hospitality. As word spread, the restaurant expanded across several cities, refining its offerings while keeping its roots intact.
With the passage of time, the menu has evolved to include inventive dishes such as spicy pork belly sliders and kimchi-loaded fries—favorites among younger diners.
Yet, few realize there’s a secret menu featuring off-menu specials beloved by loyal fans. Still, nothing beats their original signature galbi, a tender, marinated short rib that continues to define the heart of Top Pot’s enduring flavor legacy.
