Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Fullerton, CA

“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…“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“Excellent restaurant ,meats seasoned to authentic Korean flavor and great service ask for Megan and she will make you feel welcome and appreciated. And if you’re new to the experience she will show you the experience of cooking on your own table…very good food,cheers“

“You know this place is good when you see all the ahjummas queued up LOL. Honestly some of the best bibimnaengmyeon I have had in the US. Also the banchan was insaneeeeely good and free refills. One thing though is that the meat was good but for the 3 person combo the portion size is pretty small. But I would definitely come back! Get here early so you don’t wait in line.“

“The quality of the meat here is seriously amazing 🥩
I highly recommend ordering the beef combo platter! The beef short ribs and Ribeye were both incredibly delicious — juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The beef tongue is also a must-order, sliced to the perfect thickness with a great texture after grilling✨

The steamed egg and cheesy corn that come with the combo were surprisingly good too, definitely not just side dishes 🌽🧀

What made the experience even better was that the staff grilled everything for us the whole time, so we could just relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, such a great dining experience 👍🏻“

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

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

“The staff was very friendly, and the meat quality was excellent for the price. Great value overall.
They also have a self-serve bar with a variety of side dishes, which was a nice bonus. It made the whole dining experience even better. I would definitely come back!“

“Checked out SEOUL BBQ and had a really good time. The food was flavorful and fresh, and the tableside grilling made the whole experience more fun and interactive.

The atmosphere was lively and energetic without feeling too chaotic, and the staff were helpful throughout. Great spot for a group hang and a solid unlimited Korean BBQ night 👍“

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

“Servers were so kind and sweet and always had a really bright smile, I’m mainly writing this review because the servers were so nice to us! The meat is also very high quality and fresh, the galbi, rib fingers, and the beef tongue were especially tasty. They also have free self serve ice cream as a desert after you’re finished eating. My mom was eating the ice cream outside the restaurant and one of the workers noticed she didn’t know where to throw it away and even took our trash for us after we left the restaurant. Really appreciate how sweet the workers were and how high quality the meat was, highly recommend coming here!“

“The quality of the pork belly was excellent, and the service of having the staff grill the meat for us made the experience very comfortable. The variety of pickled side dishes was impressive and paired perfectly with the meat. Both the doenjang-jjigae and kimchi-jjigae were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself was spacious and very clean. One thing I wish was that the staff could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, if you’re looking for authentic Korean-style pork BBQ, I’d definitely recommend this place.“

“Came here on a Thursday night since our daughters were visiting and we had yet to try. Place was pretty busy and we had reservations for a table. We were seated right away. Selections are varied and tiered. The premium selection gets you access to the meats on that tier as well as those on the tiers below. Banchan offering was good. The place is new and a bit trendy. Now the service well they could use an improvement by checking in more regularly. I felt like I had to chase down a staff member for more meats or refills on drinks. I get staff get busy but service is the role.“

“Highly recommended. The galbi short rib, kimchi pancake, soon tofu (especially the mushroom broth), and the banchan were all delicious. There was even a bonus ice cream, how delightful! The ambiance feels elegant and distinctly European with a chill vibe. Service was great. Will be returning!“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

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

“We've eaten here a few times, both inside and takeout. Each time the food has been delicious! 🤤 We usually get the bulgogi pizza and some wings. The lady working the counter and serving the food is super nice and is like a mother making sure you're taken care of. I always try to get some food here when I'm in the area and highly recommend it!“

“Delicious kbbq at a reasonable price! Staff is very nice and attentive always offering to switch grills and helping to cook meats
Here are my favs from the menu. Also like the selection of Banchan they have all the favorites (potato salad, fishcake, cucumbers, and Mac salad) and more
La marinated Galbi (the best l've ordered)
Marinated rib finger
Kimchi fried rice
Marinated pork belly
Pork jowl
Soy marinated rib
Ok (not to right home about)
The rib steak (meat was pretty chewy but the portion is very big
Also enjoyed the self serve bar which has some hot items like fried rice,, calamari, dumplings, etc There are also some cheaper cuts of meat like pork belly/jowl/chicken plain and marinated too if you can't wait for the servers to bring you the meats
Overall I would be back and I'm very satisfied on my meal here“

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

“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.“

“Excellent service and food“

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

“Kangnam Korean BBQ's location may not be that ideal, but the food they serve here is definitely worth your drive all the way here, especially when you finish your 18 holes at Diamond Bar.

Ordered their combo of spicy cold noodles and LA short ribs, noodles is good with the authentic Korean taste, same as the LA ribs, meat were well marinated and grilled with good portion.

Have to mention a little bit about their appetizers, the kimchi here is definitely a good one comparing to other places.“

“The food was really good! The waiters were all attentive and very quick in making sure we have all of our sides and drinks refilled. The inside looks like a fancy restaurant and it made me feel like I should have worn something nice. But in reality it's just the vibe. Everybody was comfortable. I would definitely come back again“

“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.“

“Such a nice family owned establishment! The food was so tasty, and the woman at the counter was the absolute kindest most hospitable lady! We ordered the pork belly fries and chicken quesadilla, both were 10/10 and left us satisfied. Huge portions full with lots of meat left us full and needing a Togo box. 100% a business I want to support! Highly recommend“

“Three of us visited for lunch, and we had a great experience from the moment we walked in. We were greeted right away and quickly seated, which we really appreciated. We ordered the naengmyeon and galbi combo along with a seafood pajeon, and everything was well-balanced and delicious. The naengmyeon and galbi combo was especially outstanding. The pajeon was also crispy and flavorful. The side dishes were tasty, and the staff were attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Overall, a very satisfying visit. We’d definitely come back again.“

“Came here for dinner time during Christmas week with my family. We were a group of 10 and we came right at peak dinner time, which honestly sounds like a terrible idea but thankfully they were able to sit us within 40 minutes. We were sat at two tables and had a burner each. The service was great, especially with how busy they were that night. The KBBQ was super yummy and I especially loved the steamed egg, I ordered two total. The house salad was so so good- I wish someone would tell me the recipe (pls) because I ate the whole bowl. The meat came out at a decent time and I enjoyed sides. They also offered buldak ramen, which my younger cousins enjoyed- so I’m sure other parents or family members may wonder what else kids may enjoy here. I will definitely be back!“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here for the first time and I have to say the Yuksoo Bulgogi was SO good! The flavor was perfect — not too sweet or too salty — and everything tasted incredibly fresh. Even all of the banchan was perfectly seasoned. The cold noodles were so refreshing, and I loved that they make their own noodles in-house. They had such a unique chewy texture and were absolutely delicious.

The service was also great — everyone was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable throughout the meal. Highly recommend this place and I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“The food is good. They serve your order pretty fast. Maximum 5 items per order but no limit (cuz all you can eat). Minus 1 star because the inside is too smoky. The exhaust hood is not strong enough to get all the smoke out. Overall, I still recommend this place with such value and quality of the food.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch experience at Soo Ra Sang! The Al Jji Gae was exceptionally flavorful, the Kalbi was wonderfully tender and juicy, and the Bulgogi was absolutely perfect. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was very friendly. We are certainly looking forward to returning!“

“I came here with my dad for their lunch special. Our server Paul was great. Very fast and good service. Food is tasty, lots of different banchan. They offer a ramen at the end of the meal that is very tasty! Shin Ramen. I highly recommend for an affordable lunch spot.“

“Gui Gui 9292 is easily becoming one of my go-to AYCE KBBQ spots in the area. You really can't beat their pricing—the lunch special is a total steal at around $22.99, and the dinner menus are super reasonable starting at $29.99.
The meats are surprisingly good quality for the price point. Definitely load up on the beef belly, brisket, and marinated pork. The fact that they use real charcoal grills makes a huge difference in the flavor compared to standard gas grills.
One of the best parts is their self-serve hot bar. It has all the sauces, side dishes (banchan), salads, and even tortillas for wraps ready to go, so you aren't waiting on a server just to get a refill on kimchi or brisket sauce. Speaking of service, the staff is attentive, quick to change out the grill, and fast with the meat orders.“

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

“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!!!“

“I went there with my daughter she's been there before it was my first time. But it was great the food and prices was decent compared to other places I will definitely go back don't let the entrance fool you that place is big lots of room to sit. Love this place“

“The best Korean bbq I've been to. I'll definitely will come back. Our server was so nice too!“
