Keung Kee B.B.Q. Restaurant

Barbecue restaurants in Los Angeles spread wide across zip codes, with no single pocket dominating. Top clusters sit in 90012, 90020, and 90025, each holding five entries, while 90004, 90026, and 90028 follow close behind with four apiece. That spread means smoke joints turn up from downtown to the westside rather than bunching in one strip. Out of 197 total listings, 189 carry a phone number and 166 list a website, so most places give you a fast way to check hours or menus before you drive over.

None of these Los Angeles listings currently carry a Sponsored tag, since paid placement hasn't launched for barbecue yet, so what you see is unranked directory order, not a paid lineup. Call two or three that fit your zip and ask about wait times, since weekend lines at LA barbecue spots run long. If you own one of these restaurants and your phone or website field is empty or wrong, you can claim the listing and fill in the gap yourself, so someone searching your zip doesn't land on a dead end and pick a different name instead.
