“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“

“So sad to go back to Dallas where there is NOTHING that compares to the quality of food & service at Mo Ran Gak. This was the best meal, truly. Authentic, high quality, delicious, generous portions, attentive and kind service - I could not have been happier with my experience here! I cannot wait to come back.“

“We had a great experience at Yangmani KBBQ! The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of high-quality meats and plenty of options to choose from.

The service was excellent from start to finish, and our server, Alex, was especially attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Alex’s great service really made the experience even more enjoyable.

We highly recommend Yangmani KBBQ to anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ, great selection, and outstanding service. One of my favourite spots for KBBQ.“

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

“Had a great experience at Eighty Eight Q! The food was really good, but the service from Hermione was what really stood out.

She was super attentive and somehow always knew when we needed more meat, sides, or dessert. She would check in at just the right time without us having to flag her down or ask. It made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable.

You can tell she really pays attention to her customers and takes pride in her service. Definitely one of the best servers we’ve had at a Korean BBQ spot. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I was in Diamond Bar for work and was craving Korean BBQ, so I decided to check out SEOUL BBQ after seeing all the great reviews. Let me tell you… this place did NOT disappoint!
If you can make it for lunch, their $24.99 AYCE lunch special is one of the best deals around. The banchan came out first, and everything was fresh and delicious, but the glass noodles were my favorite. I could’ve eaten those all day!
Then the meat started rolling out… game over. The prime rib, beef belly, and brisket were all fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. Add a little salt, throw it on the grill, and wowww… every bite was amazing.
We also ordered the kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, and spicy tofu soup, and every side dish hit the spot. The service was quick, the staff kept checking on us, and they never let the grill get too crowded.
For $24.99, the quality and variety are hard to beat. If you’re looking for a solid AYCE Korean BBQ spot in Diamond Bar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back. Soooo good… let’s go!“

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

“Honestly surprised this place isn't rated higher! Came at like 6:30 pm seated right away, menu is very straightforward. The quality of the meat is phenomenal and they cook it for you. The kimchis and pickled vegetable array is unreal I literally would eat here over and over again. It's a very straightforward experience but 5/5 stars!“

“I ordered the $39 lunch course. Unfortunately, the portions were quite small, and the food itself was honestly underwhelming.

The braised short ribs came with about one piece of meat per person, and they were way too sweet for my taste. The brisket soybean paste stew was also very greasy. The gujeolpan was delicious, but the portion was extremely small.

That said, the service was top-notch. The atmosphere was also beautiful—it’s hard to find a Korean restaurant with such a nice ambiance. I just wish the food and portions were better for the price.“

“If you're looking for the best beef intestine in OC, this is the place to save.
From rich, flavor-packed beef intestine to premium chuck flap and galbi, you'll instantly understand why locals line up before they open.
Finish your meal with kimchi stew poured over rice, and the experience gets even better.
If you love beef intestine, this is one spot you absolutely have to try.“

“This Korean bbq is pretty good. It's cheaper than the others n there isn't a salad bar but if the meats are good that's what's important to me. Bulgogi was good as was brisket. Attentive waiters to make sure you've got meat to grill without waiting“

“Aaron and Vicky were the best. Vicky was so quick on bringing our orders out. Aaron explained everything as if he was the chef himself. I would believe it if this restaurant would be owned by them.

The food is the most delicious. $39 for all you can eat. It gave us favorable ribs and bulgogi. Those were our favorite.

We had the order rice paper, tortilla, and salsa constantly since we were with Mexicans. They totally understand their customer. Worth thr drive for quality.

I was able to enjoy my squid cut up by small. Constant grill change. It was impressive.

Plenty of space for a family reunion.“

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

“Voted North OC’s favorite neighborhood Korean spot for decades, we are at Soy Tofu in La Palma. Yes, that one Korean restaurant next to Han Nam Chain aka Super1 in La Palma, CA. It feels like a secret because it’s as cozy and comforting as grandma’s house. This is a spot where everyone goes to for Sundubu (Korean Spicy Tofu Soup served boiling hot), or if they want Naengmyeon (Korean Buckwheat Noodles in a icy tangy broth) on hot summer day, or Bibimbap (Stone-pot Korean mixed rice filled with vegetables and meat with a spicy gochujang sauce and sesame oil)—just something comforting, and what they’re used to. This place has been there forever, and it’s under the same owner who wants to spoil us with her Korean recipes. Beyond the great service, delicious made in house banchan aka Korean sides , fresh ingredients and all the menu favorites, you can scoop your own free ice cream in a cone! I recommend Soy Tofu as a solid spot for anyone who is new or super critical about Korean food. It’s a guaranteed delicious spot.“

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

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

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

“Excellent service and food“

“Perfect Spot for a Date!! my Bf and I loved this place!! the service was awesome!! the best service!! Logan is the Best!! Will recommend to all my family and friends! We got the Royal Tier which was perfect. the meat quality was above!! the best of best KBBQ in this Cali!!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Gui Gui 9292 Korean BBQ (AYCE) in La Habra! The quality of the meats was outstanding, with plenty of delicious options to choose from. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. If you're looking for an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spot with excellent food and service, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend—5 stars!“

“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.“

“I came here with family because it was recommended by someone else, and I'm glad I tried it out.

It was a very chill place with quick, attentive service. The self service bar is a smart idea, because you only take what you need. I especially enjoyed the wagyu beef and bulgogi!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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“

“I've never heard of Seng Bulgogi before but after seeing a few videos on it, I needed to try it. You have to order 2 orders of it, which I thought was a little off-putting as it was a little on the pricier side, HOWEVER the 2 portions combined was a lot. Lots of meat & veggies with that wonderful rich broth.

They even helped us out with cooking and it was really good. The meat tasted so fresh, the veggies balanced it out and the broth was just a stand out.

Tons of seating, and lots of older folks hanging out here and eating so you know its legit.

parking can be a hit or miss since its in a pretty big plaza with lots of other things attached.“

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

“Great Korean BBQ and excellent service! The staff was attentive and took great care of us. The pork belly, beef brisket, bean sprouts, and kimchi were all delicious, and the complimentary kimchi fried rice was the perfect finish. Highly recommend!“

“Great experience!!! Great 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!“

“A few things I love about this place:
1. Ample parking
2. Self-serve marinated meats and select sides
3. Tender meats

I don't have the patience to find parking or to wait around for service, so I loved being able to grab stuff myself (including rice). Staff was kind and food was great! Loved the short ribs, beef tongue, and marinated meats!“

“This is where you can find $23 all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ that might be one of the best deals in SoCal.

You get a choice of 18 different kinds of meat, including the self-serve bar where you can grab your own marinated meats, like spicy beef bulgogi and pork jowl, and all the amazing sides, for as many times as you want. You can even make KBBQ meat tacos!

This $23 deal is only available during lunch, but weekends are included! ;)

But if you're feeling bougie, definitely get the premium AYCE menu A at $49.99, which includes a giant dinosaur bone-looking rib that was just melt-in-your-mouth tender, spicy Korean cold noodles, ramen, and steamed egg.

Thanks for reading! ^-^“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“
