Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Fullerton, CA

“Mr BBQ is probably one of the best All You Can Eat Korean BBQ spots you can eat at in Southern California. The whole place has an upbeat and fun vibe. It's a great place for celebrating or having a party, or just as a fun place to go. All of the portions and sides are generous and high quality. The servers are attentive and make everyone feel welcomed (especially on their birthday)

The beef brisket is thin sliced, and unbeatable. Bulgogi is exceptional here, also. They also have a fantastic selection of drinks, especially the craft beer selection they offer.

There is a free parking lot, but at peak hours, it can be hard to find parking. It's not really a problem since you can park on a nearby street and walk over. Can't say enough good things. Its also just extra fun that they always keep up with the seasonal decorations throughout the year.

Vegetarian options: Its possible to make a vegetarian meal here. There are vegetables and other side dishes that can be grilled to make a pretty filling meal.

Dietary restrictions: Its easy to be selective about what you want since you cook it yourself.

Parking: Sometimes parking can be hard to find at peak hours. There is residential parking near by.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family-friendly atmosphere

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking and access.“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“Some of the best all you can eat BBQ in the area! Wait times are relatively shorter compared to other spots we we're trying to dine to. And the food is simply delicious! There a beautiful atmosphere inside and the liveliness of the dining area and you hear various foods cooking on your table and others simply makes for a unique one of a kind experience.“

“Yangmani Korean BBQ delivers an incredible dining experience with its high-quality meats and flavorful tofu soup. The marinated short ribs are tender and delicious, while the tofu soup is rich and perfectly spiced. The fresh banchan and attentive service make the meal even more enjoyable. For a cozy and satisfying Korean BBQ experience, Yangmani is a great choice!“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“Food is always amazing here. My family only comes here for Korean BBQ. There are hundreds of other options nearby but you just can't beat the quality of the meat and the service. There's a reason why a line is formed before they open... especially on weekends.“

“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 5*

Stopped by here with a colleague. We ordered the $19.99 lunch special. He offered to give us a mix of all the different meats on this menu so we could try them. There are specific ban chan you can get like Kimchee, fish cake, potato salad etc. The service was great, very attentive, helpful and friendly. I will return with a larger appetite.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“Pleasant surprise for a great meal after golfing across the street at Diamond Bar. Meat was fresh. Bangchan was tasty and service was good, granted that it was a quiet night. The decor was kind of odd for a BBQ spot but the price performance is great.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“When you enter, the delicious aroma hits you immediately. It's not the prettiest place but it has a fun atmosphere none the less. Enjoyed the k-pop playing in the background.

The marinated beef bulgogi was delicious. So was the beef belly. Also, they had 2 flavors of thrifty brand ice cream for dessert. That was an unexpected and tasty surprise.

We will definitely be going again. Next time we will bring the whole family (& friends).“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“Excellent service and food“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“I'm a fan of Soy Tofu! It is another local gem. The service is kind and attentive, the dining area is clean, and the vibe is pleasant. The decor is simple and homey.

I've dined here several times already, and each time was fantastic.

My current favorite items:
- Soon Tofu (soups) - mushroom and the beef + seafood with black rice
- The Tofu Combos - if you're a little more hungry, I recommend the BBQ short ribs with the tofu soup
- Dumplings - fried or steamed, they are both excellent!
- The complimentary ice cream!

When you receive the boiling hot tofu soup, immediately add the raw egg and stir it a little. The egg will cook fast in the hot broth. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available.

If you're in the area, try Soy Tofu. It's in a plaza with a Korean market and many other restaurants. There's usually plenty of parking in the public lot.“

“Best Korean BBQ in OC! Love the food and the service. Did i mention free Thrifty's ice cream?“

“Shhh…hidden gem! This ayce kbbq restaurant is outstanding! I’ve been to many kbbq places over the years and Seoul BBQ is top notch. Everything came out quickly, including the fried potstickers, water refills, meat refills, and grill changes. It was a laid back atmosphere, not a bunch of announcements or loud music. It had a good vibe for talking and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed several rounds of meats from the A and B menus, multiple grill changes, some peach flavored rice wine, and a fun time with friends and family. The beef bulgogi and beef brisket were excellent; everyone else in the group also enjoyed several other cuts of meat including garlic pork belly, flying tiger beef, short rib, beef belly, and others. The parking lot was a bit rough so beware. Everyone that went into the restaurant seemed well dressed and happy to be there.

Parking: There is currently some barricaded construction which has blocked some of the parking spots (Dec 2024), making it difficult to find parking. There was also broken glass in one of the stalls which raised concern about cars being broken into recently. Turn on your car’s camera if you’ve got one.“

“Sookdal is famous for low temperature salt water aging pork belly.

Taste of pork belly is the best in OC.

You can eat pork belly with salt,
chopped garlic, wasabi,
grilled cheese and many different
pickled vegetables
(Cucumber, Cabbage, Radish tops etc.)
for unique taste.

“quality meat, quality service, good atmosphere, clean restrooms, huge parking, what more can you ask for? highly recommend, will come back for many times. do the $55 premium ayce, worth the money! huge selection of banchan, did i mention quality service?“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“Great spot for Korean bbq but they're not an all you can eat spot, nor do they have combos. Everything is a la carte so it can get pricey. But the food is good. Oh, and always ask for fried rice after the meal. You have to pay for it but it's worth it. Side note, ground gets slippery so wear something that grips. Greasy floors.“

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“Excellent food. 👍. Will come back again.“

“I’d say the food was tasty and fresh and the place is spacious. I would suggest the servers put a smile on their face and let us know when the seafood is ready to eat once they are so we don’t keep wondering/asking and keep looking at the food on the grill. The seafood got burnt a couple of times because they didn’t come back for it but that was ok because it was just rare occasion. However, they were still attentive to our needs, thanks to them.“

“Stumbled upon this place while visiting Buena Park and can't go wrong with this restaurant.The food is delicious ?•Toppings are fresh• Meat pretty tasty and mouth wateringThe times we've been here we've ordered their Bowls/Plates, Ramen, and Burritos“

“The food was really good, especially the spicy pork belly. It was the best meat I think. And their cilantro onion salad is really tasty too.

Staff is very kind and helpful and it doesn’t take long to get the attention of a server and get help as well which is awesome.

The only bad thing is ventilation. It gets really smoky eventually when it’s busy and the smoke stings your eyes a lot so it eventually got really uncomfortable. We asked if it was ok to open the back door we were next to in order to clear the smoke. They should just have the back door always open since their ventilation is having some issues unsure if it’s unable to keep up or what exactly but they should just keep the back door open and it completely solves the problem. I’d rather deal with my legs being chilly from time to time than my eyes burning and stinging and being unable to see

Kid-friendliness: I really appreciated that there are high chairs available and the staff was extremely kind and even though my baby made a mess throwing food on the floor when I went to go pick it up they told me it was ok that they sweep the floors anyway and I don’t have to do that. So it’s very family friendly and they have lots of food options that my 11 month old could eat too which was awesome since sometimes it can be difficult to find something that is baby friendly since he doesn’t have all his teeth“

“First time there for Sunday lunch. Attentive crew, dim lighting, fresh meats, good variety of beef, chicken and pork, cuttlefish and shrimp too. Great service throughout. Wish there were vegetables and fish for grilling. Please offer veggie and fish options. Way better than Sunday Brunch for the price. Lots of other rooms to accommodate groups of 6-45 guests. We prefer the more open, spacious main dining room. Will certainly make it back there.“

“The side dishes and giblets seasoning were so delicious, and the unglazed cuts were easy to eat, and the water sashimi was also a delicacy.“

“Best Korean BBQ dining experience! Great quality tasty value for money BBQ wahyu beef & ribeye“

“We had the Spicy Blue Crab Stew and Seng Bulgogi. Our waiter cooked the Seng Bulgogi right at our table. Don’t miss out on wrapping the bulgogi in rice paper or pickled radish—it adds an extra layer of deliciousness. The portions are generous, and the banchans are amazing!“

“First time here we celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday. The food was delicious. They have big portions to share. Our server was so sweet we had little ones with us so she asked if we wanted the food to be cooked in the kitchen. My son (7) and granddaughter (3) picky eaters really liked the food. Thank you so much“

“It is located in a nice shopping center. This Korean BBQ is one of my family's favorite restaurants. It is good for both meat lover and salad lover ?. They serve unlimited side dishes and salad for free.

Parking: There is a @tesla changer in the parking lot.“

“Zero complaints. Overall, it is a very solid all-you-can-eat KBBQ spot with reasonable prices, good quality, and great service. There are long waits sometimes, which is how you know it's good, but it's seemingly always packed. Wish I discovered this place sooner.“

“I don't know if I had high expectations or if the chef didn't show up during lunch time, but I was recommended cold noodles and pork cutlet, but I think they were below average.

The overall atmosphere was good and the side dishes were delicious, but the main dish was lacking. The taste of galbi cold noodles cannot be missed, but the ribs seem to have lost their flavor and the cold noodles leave a lot to be desired.

The soybean paste stew was really bad.
I don’t know how to make this soybean paste stew.
It can't be without taste @.@

The servers are friendly and the service is good.“

“Delicious and affordable AYCE KBBQ with quality meats. You can order select meats from the server and they also have a self serve meat bar with lots of options. Few of my favorites from the premium menu were: the wagyu beef belly, prime marinated short rib, and prime marinated boneless short rib cut.

They offer 3 menu options~ weekday lunch ($21.99), signature ($29.99) and premium ($38.99), which all include the meat station.

Great service and they came by often to change the grill.“

“So bomb & amazing prices! Might even be the best priced Korean bbq restaurant in Orange County. Super popular, waited quite a bit to get in (but then you’ll get that with almost any Korean BBQ spot during busy hours etc). Got the A menu which was the least expensive, super satisfied!“

“We visited 9292 KBBQ in Rowland Heights with friends, and wow—what a deal! Lunch is just $19.99, and dinner is $25.99 for AYCE KBBQ. Honestly, for this price, we weren’t expecting much, but the meat quality blew us away! The pork belly and beef brisket were especially amazing—highly recommend!

They also have a self-serve meat bar and a hot food section with a great variety. Everything was fresh and delicious, and their japchae and tteokbokki were so good! On top of that, the space is huge, clean, and super comfortable, and the staff was really friendly. 🥰AYCE KBBQ at this price? Unreal. We’re definitely coming back. Highly recommend!!👍👍“
