LA PALMA, CA — Bulgogi House is set to open its third All-You-Can-Eat Korean barbecue location in La Palma this September, expanding the chain into Orange County. Owner Young Park aims to contemporize the new restaurant’s atmosphere with unique features and innovative technologies—such as an underground ventilation system—rarely seen at other Korean barbecue establishments. But even with all these new implementations, Park intends on producing the same trademark sauces, marinades, and quality meats that initially brought his company success.
The new Bulgogi House will not only feature eight HD televisions and three projection screens for easy sports viewing, but will also introduce a ventilation system rarely seen at other Korean barbecue establishments. The air ducts will be placed on the side of the grill to funnel the smoke into vents underground, as opposed to the standard method of stationing them overhead. Each table will also have its own motor to maximize suction and efficiency, unlike other restaurants that use one motor to accommodate four to six tables. This new ventilation system will help minimize the barbecue smell left on clothing from smoke emitted by the grill.
With Korean barbecue becoming one of the trendiest food genres in the country, many of La Palma’s residents are excited to have Bulgogi House in the city. Even Mayor Steve Shanahan expressed his interest in the restaurant:
“We deeply appreciate Mr. Park’s significant investment in our community,” stated Mayor Steve Shanahan, “and look forward to his upscale, Gangnam-style Bulgogi House restaurant bringing a new dining experience to La Palma.”
Other highlights of the new restaurant are its full service bar, self-serve buffet section, and special additions exclusive to the La Palma menu—e.g. bacon-wrapped asparagus, bulgogi sliders, spicy pork tacos, and much more.

About Bulgogi House:
Bulgogi House was founded by Young Park in 1992 when he combined fresh local ingredients with his industry experience to create a quality Korean barbecue experience in Los Angeles. However, the true foundations of his restaurants are its quality meats—from the 1855 Black Angus beef company and the Compart Duroc pork company—and his grandmother’s secret sauce, which customers often ask for by the bottle. She created the recipe while living in Suwon, a South Korean city known for its barbecue, and, since then, it has been used as both a dipping sauce and marinade at Park’s restaurants. She also taught her grandson the intricate process of steeping the meat in her marinade for at least 24 hours, making the beef tender and flavorful. Young Park brought this unique, time-tested recipe to California over two decades ago, and it’s still only available at Bulgogi House restaurants.
