We were placed in an extremely uncomfortable and distressing situation during our visit to your restaurant last Saturday due to the conduct of your manager, David. His behavior was rude, dismissive, and deeply lacking in empathy.
Our party had very specific needs. Two members of our group are seniors with diabetes who are insulin-dependent and must eat on a strict schedule. We were also accompanied by my nephew, who has autism and a very limited diet. He only eats McDonald’s chicken nuggets and French toast.
Before being seated, we explained our situation to David and asked for consideration. We fully understood and accepted your policy that we would still need to pay for my nephew despite him not eating the restaurant’s food. Money was never the issue,we were more than willing to pay.
The problem arose when David insisted that my nephew’s food had to be left outside due to a strict “no outside food” policy, despite our explanation that this was related to a disability. When we tried to explain further, David responded rudely and told us that our only options were to leave the food outside or leave the restaurant entirely and find somewhere else that would “accommodate” us. He repeatedly lectured us about policy instead of listening.
This forced us into an impossible and unfair situation: choose between my elderly parents, who were at risk of hypoglycemia if they did not eat immediately, and my nephew, who has special needs and would not be able to eat at all. No family should ever be put in that position.
I find it deeply concerning that David claimed there was no discrimination involved, when his actions clearly demonstrate otherwise. I have been to many restaurants, including numerous Korean BBQ establishments with similar policies, and not once have we been treated this way. Every other restaurant showed understanding, respect, and basic human decency.
To the owner of this establishment: I strongly urge you to provide better training for your managers, particularly in handling situations involving disabilities and medical conditions. While your business is not part of the Better Business Bureau, I will be exploring other avenues to report this incident to ensure no other family experiences what we did.
This experience was disappointing, unnecessary, and entirely avoidable.

Everything was pretty good, fast service, shrimps a little soft and a bit salty, short rib and boneless sshort rib are our most favorite dishes, there are more to choose from: chicken, pork, ... we got the money worth eating here. You should try at least 1 time so you can tell, definitely we will go back

Top BBQ Grill is a great all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spot where you cook at the table. Fresh meats, great flavors, fun experience, and friendly service. You’ll definitely leave full and happy. 🔥🥩

The place is very busy and crowded on the weekend. It's all you can eat so it's quantity over quality, so I guess I can't expect too much. It's more like a 3.5 stars for me but my friends like it.

Amazing first visit! Definitely coming back. This was my first time here and I was really impressed! Parking: Plenty of parking — super easy and convenient. Overall, great service, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend for KBBQ lovers or anyone looking for a quality all-you-can-eat experience!
It was my first time coming here, and I really enjoyed the Premium AYCE menu. The restaurant was decently busy on a Monday night. My friends and I got seated right away at a small table in the front. We were helped immediately by server Jongha, who was super on it the entire night with the frequent grill changes and water refills. Jay came by and helped us too. I was so impressed by the wide variety of banchan ranging from tempura vegetables to noodles, soups, and salads, accompanied by a simple sauce bar and dessert stations as well. We ordered the meat on our phones using a QR code and it was delivered promptly to our table every time. I'm happy that the restaurant was clean, the food was good, and the service was excellent. We enjoyed the throwbacks music as well (it wasn't too loud, yay!). A kind worker even offered to take our photo by the door at the end of the night. I would definitely come back (try the ice cream!!!) :)

My boyfriend and I are new to the Buena Park area and just happened upon this place and I cannot stop thinking about how delicious it was. It was my first time at Korean BBQ (I’ve only had Japanese) - I’m a changed gal. This place is so affordable first and foremost and the buffet of sides was incredible. Our waiter Noah was super kind and attentive at explaining the different menus, how to order and coming and checking on us regularly. The Soju was great!! We will absolutely be back!

Brisket is definitely my top pick! It’s the easiest cut to customize the flavor just the way you like. I love layering garlic and jalapeños underneath, placing the meat on top, and letting it steam together for that perfect blend of aroma and spice. Then, a quick dip in salt, pepper, and oil — wrap it in a daikon sheet with some banchan, fold it up like a taco, and it’s pure heaven in every bite!

There's a check-in tablet upon entering that would call and text the phone number you provide when the table is ready. We came for a weekend dinner and waited only thirteen minutes for a table, considering how busy they were.
Spacious dining areas with self serve stations were available that included banchans, soups, sauces, desserts (jello and ice cream) and utensils. Self serve stations were well stocked at all times and clean.
Service was attentive. I can't recall our server's name but he took care of the entire extra dining room section by himself and managed it well. Kudos to him! There's a table barcode that had to be scanned to order, and everything arrived at the table quickly.
Some proteins tasted better than others, whether it was flavor or quality. Afterall, it is an AYCE, so high quality was not expected. However, for the prices of each tier, it is definitely affordable.
The only thing I disliked was the restroom. It was quite dirty.
