Absteak By Chef Akira Back

We visited on a rainy day, so it was quiet and relaxed. The food was wonderful—high-quality steak cooked perfectly to our preference. The staff were very professional and attentive. The side dishes were especially delicious and refreshingly different from those at other Korean restaurants. Just a note: the pizza contains uncooked meat, so be aware of that when ordering.

The best Korean restaurant in LA. You can truly experience the highest quality of Korean cuisine here. Every dish reflects authenticity and craftsmanship — from the perfectly seasoned dishes made with their own house-fermented doenjang to the deep, balanced flavors that stay true to the basics. The meat was exceptional — aged and grilled to perfection, simply outstanding. And the naengmyeon (cold noodles) was the best I’ve had in the U.S. The handmade broth and the perfectly matched noodles are still unforgettable. My deepest respect to Chef Akira Back and sincere gratitude to all the chefs and staff at this incredible restaurant.

Had an amazing time at family dinner, our first visit and definitely not the last. The service was impeccable, the cuts of meat were top-tier, and everything was beautifully executed. Just down the street from home, it was the perfect evening. Huge thanks to the team for such seamless, attentive service.

ABSteak is hands down one of the best Korean-inspired steakhouses by Beverly Hills. The quality of the meat is unmatched. Everything from the dry-aged ribeye to the Aussie Wagyu was incredibly tender and flavorful. I loved the upscale yet inviting vibe of the space, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff grilled the meat perfectly right at our table, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The quality and presentation make it well worth it. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.

Loved my delicious dinner at ABsteak. They have the best cocktails. I love the AB Old Fashioned with WAGYU WASHED bourbon. They make it smokey and you really can taste and smell it. Quality of the beef is superb and the service is professional and it seems second nature. They grill the delicious wagyu beef for you (which is perfect bec I’m not the best cook). I mean the marbling on the beef was soo good. When you sit down they have a wonderful beef broth palate starter, YUMMMMM. Such a great underrated place in the neighborhood- fantastic dinner, perfect cocktails, great service. 10/10!

The restaurant has been beautifully designed and fits very well with the quality of the food and service, which are both excellent. My husband and I took a couple here from out of town and they were super happy. Our reservation was for 8 o’clock on a weekday but unfortunately the restaurant was empty so we didn’t experience the vibe. The food and alcohol presentation is incredible and it really adds to the overall experience. The cocktails are some of the best I’ve had. We ordered the beef tartar. It was very fresh with beautiful condiments that you mix in. It was a little too sweet for my taste but everyone else loved it. I also found the cabbage salad and the sides a little too sweet so I would say the chef gravitates towards a sweeter taste. The beefs were incredible with top notch quality and beautifully presented and served. Overall it was a wonderful experience. If you are a beef lover you’d want to give this place a try.

High quality Korean bbq. Maybe the highest quality, similar to Cote in NY. They have their own dry aging room, full bar, and table side service. Smoke-less grills so you don’t smell like bbq. Must orders are the egg soufflé - I dare you to find a place in LA with the same type of soufflé. Beef tartare, chadol and marinated galbi. Parking is like $1 for 2 hours at the Beverly center.

Great experience. The food was great quality and the service was excellent. The yukhwe was almost tuna like in texture. Super fresh. I enjoyed the boneless short rib the most. It was a perfect amount of fattyness. Could've skipped the dry aged rib eye and gotten a few more servings of the short ribs. The egg souffle was a bit densed for my liking but my fiance love it. The galbi fried rice was flavorful and I definitely would recommend it. Pancakes were OK. Scallops were OK, again would skip for more short ribs or wagyu. Sorbet was light and the pumpkin puree really compliments it.
