11 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Alhambra

“Updated: I've been to this spot for years and it's still excellent. The base price is $32.99 but if you go at non-peak times you can save money. I still think you can get a great deal at that price point. Efficient service and great food as always.

WONDERFUL! This was my first all you can eat Korean BBQ experience. We came at 7pm and was ahead of the Saturday rush crowd, so we were seated right away. They have two price points with $22pp for the regular menu, which we opted for, because it had over 20 options on it! They bring you 3 selections at a time, and after you order more, the selection portions are halved so you don't waste food. Every single piece of meat was delicious, but the Beef Bulgogi and the Brisket were my favorites. The shrimp were a little hard to eat because they were on the small side and hard to pull the shell off. They also have 2 stations with hot items (appetizers, glass noodles/vegetables, mushroom/broccoli, wings, soup) and cold items (salad, onion/mushrooms for cooking, lettuce wraps, fruit).

The service was good, but they were incredibly busy in taking care of everyone. They were a good team and looked out if we needed a new grill plate, or if were ready to put in more orders.

I will definitely be back - what a great spot to bring out of towners.“

“I came here because I heard the rice noodles were their signature dish, and they were definitely good. But for me, the real standouts were the grilled fish, the charcoal BBQ, and the sweet and sour pork (Guo Bao Rou). Those dishes had the authentic flavors I grew up with. Everything tasted freshly made, well-seasoned, and very traditional. If you’re looking for genuine Northeastern Chinese comfort food, this place is absolutely worth a visit.“

“The most amazing tri trip and smoked anything!!!! Can't forget the slaw, mashed potatoes, baked beans, EVERYTHING Paul makes is great! Just love all the food“

“Had the shrimp vermicelli shanghai style noodles, which I highly recommend. The service was good, the food is yummy and inexpensive. We dined in. The restaurant is non-descript and they accept cash only, so just be prepared! Perfect Chinese food!“

“Accidentally ordered the wrong side dishes and they were kind enough to go above and beyond to make sure I got the macaroni salad that I forgot to order. Excellent customer service, very impressed with their thoughtfulness. Food was great as always too. You've earned a loyal customer!“

“todo muy rico y fresco y muy atentos los meseros 💯“

“food was fresh, fast and delicious. so glad I went there today“

“So I think the name has changed and it's called E&J Pinoy BBQ now. And the prices have gone up from the menu that is shown, I only found out when I paid.

Ordered their combo #2 for a party and it was a great amount of food. The chicken teriyaki was super tender and the pork belly was great too except the skin was a little hard. The chicken inasal leg and thigh was good as well! Would try again.“

“One of the remaining long standing Sam Woo in SGV that is offer great food and still reasonable price.
take out line can be long depending on the time arriving.
OG restaurant with original decor and a place can enjoy the food as always. You might have chance meet old friends while dinning and Enjoy Awesome food tour.“

“Their mutton kebabs are big and delicious. They are indeed grilled over charcoal. I especially recommend leek egg shrimp dumplings and fat lamb waist. They are so delicious that I forgot to take a photo. Next time, I can order them by phone first. You don't have to wait until you arrive at the store and you can eat it directly!“

“If you're into bold flavors and sizzling vibes, MR LAN BBQ is a must-visit spot in Alhambra! A friend raved about their skewers, so we dropped by—and wow, no regrets. The lamb skewers? Juicy, smoky, perfectly seasoned. And that mala noodle soup? Spicy but addictive! Portions are solid, and prices? Great value for the quality. The staff was super attentive, making sure everything was on point. Honestly feels like they’ve got quality control down to a science. Swing by 1277 E Valley Boulevard if you’re in the area—you won’t leave disappointed!“
