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“

“The food was amazing and the presentation was beautiful! Our server Jack was great and the service was genuinely 10/10. We had such a great time from start to finish. I came from out of town and it was absolutely worth the trip. I would highly recommend Mo Ran Gak and would definitely come back!“

“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?“

“My family and I come here pretty often, and today we came to celebrate grandpa’s birthday. I was actually the one who suggested Yangmani since we’ve always had a good experience here.
We ordered two Chef’s Cut Combos and one Variety Combo for the table. If you’re a big meat eater, the portions might feel a little small, but for us it was plenty and we left pretty full. The meat quality is always really good, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back.
The staff is also always really nice and friendly. There are so many new Korean BBQ places opening up these days, but somehow we still end up coming back to Yangmani in Rowland Heights.
I wish I had taken more pictures though! I only took a picture of the first round of meat, and after that we got too busy eating and I totally forgot. 😂“

“Came for the lunch special and felt like this was exactly what I wanted and expected. Wasn’t too busy so it was fast to get everything I requested. Tablet ordering at the table is convenient. Most likely coming back. :) 👍🏼“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“reasonable price for all u can eat.
great food, great services.
why not try!
I have been eating here so many times already. Will be back whenever we have birthdays, anniversary parties, friends gathering for Christmas or new years...“

“Excellent service and food“

“came in expecting a regular kbbq joint, maybe a little nicer than others since they grill for you. but came away having eaten an unexpected tasting menu with an elegant vibe (soft jazz?).

charcoal grill. unlimited hot tea. marinated short rib was the best of the two meats we chose from the beef course.“

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

“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!“

“Soooooooo hot lol…

They said the air conditioning was running at full capacity, but it was so hot that I felt like I took a shower in sweat at a barbecue restaurant for the first time. I think you absolutely shouldn't come here in the summer. The elderly and young children, in particular, need to be careful because of the heat.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wow, why did I wait so long to come here?

We tried all five meat selections, and the salad bar had so many options—everything was fresh and delicious. Lunch also included one ice cream bar per person and coffee.

For only $29.99 per person, it felt like an incredible value. The servers were also incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Great food, great service, and a fantastic lunch deal. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Such a good KBBQ experience! Everything hit the spot, especially the galbi and brisket. Fast service, super friendly staff, and a great self-serve bar for all the sides. Perfect casual spot to hang out with friends and eat way too much food.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Plenty of parking in the plaza!

I love that they serve a mountain of meat on a broth on the grill. The meat is mixed with veggies and mushrooms. The soup is a good balance of savory and sweet.

I ordered bibimbap to complement our seng bulgogi. You can add your own gochujang which was nice because I dont like mine too spicy.

The service was very friendly and attentive.

Highly recommend.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

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

“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!“

“Great-value AYCE Korean BBQ with a handy self-serve bar
Gui Gui 9292 on Colima Road is a solid all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spot that delivers a lot for the price. The brisket, beef belly, pork belly, and marinated short ribs were all flavorful and cooked up nicely on the grill. The self-serve bar for sides, sauces, and wraps means you don't have to wait on refills. Steamed egg and corn cheese round out the meal well. The dining room is spacious with good ventilation, so you don't leave smelling like smoke. The lunch special is one of the best KBBQ deals around, which makes it an easy pick for a midday meal or a group outing.“

“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!!!“

“Came here after being slammed by ads from Instagram... Price for an AYCE was what had me interested, especially in this economy.

First off, if you can, carpool to this place. The lot is very tiny, has very limited parking spaces, and anything larger than a 2026 Ford Explorer might have issues squeezing into a spot since the lines seem like they were made with smaller cars in mind, and be sure to use your parking breaks for certain spots - the incline is pretty steep... There are other businesses in this plaza, so expect parking competition.

The restaurant is pretty dim inside, but at least the pop music isn't very loud like other establishments (I'm looking at you, Gen BBQ!) and it's rather cozy. They have a self serve area around the corner with their regular items while the more premium stuff requires ordering off their menu via QR code, so make sure you have someone with a fully charged smartphone.

Service is prompt and super friendly, always making sure we have plenty of water (it was 109F that day). Order menu is a bit small, but for $20, I can work with it since they had the self-service area.

My only gripe, however, is that the food tends to run on the sweet side, especially the glass noodles (also missing a lot of the veggies here...) and bulgolgi. Even their salads were really sweet that day when I was expecting the usual sour vinegar kick I get from other similar establishments. Hopefully, next visit will be slightly different and won't be as sweet...“

“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!“
