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“

“We’ve been here four times now, which is probably the best compliment I can give. When Mo Ran Gak is at its best, it’s one of my favorite Korean restaurants in Southern California. When it’s off, the inconsistency keeps it from being a five star experience.

The first visit was outstanding. The galbi was perfectly seasoned, not overly sweet, not overly salty, with great caramelization and tenderness. The naengmyeon was exactly what you hope for. Icy cold with crunchy ice still floating in the broth, crisp vegetables and incredibly refreshing.

The second visit was a completely different experience. The galbi was noticeably drier and under seasoned and the naengmyeon arrived only slightly cold. The ice had already melted, which takes away one of the best parts of great naengmyeon. The slices of beef that come with the noodles have also been consistently dry. That may be traditional, but it’s never been the highlight of the dish.

The service is probably the weakest part of the restaurant. Nobody has ever been outright rude, but it’s difficult to get someone’s attention and the staff generally feels indifferent. You can tell they’re busy, but hospitality often feels like an afterthought. I’d probably rate the service around a 3 out of 5.

The restaurant itself is older but clean, with a comfortable atmosphere and moderate noise. Parking can be frustrating and there’s usually a wait, but that’s expected for a popular spot.

One thing I really enjoy is the complimentary crispy pancake they bring out. Honestly, I’d happily eat an entire plate of it. The banchan are solid overall, though fairly average.

Despite the inconsistency, I still think this is some of the best naengmyeon and especially bibim naengmyeon you’ll find in the Los Angeles area. That’s why we keep coming back. I just hope they can deliver the same level of quality every visit because when they do, it’s genuinely excellent.“

“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 👍🏻“

“A fantastic spot with a great atmosphere—perfect for all kinds of gatherings. There is a huge selection of drinks and a wide variety of food options. The service is excellent, even when it’s bustling. Definitely a place worth visiting again!“

“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?“

“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 👍“

“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“

“Delicious korean bbq with great service!! Although some of the staff aren’t the most talkative, they still got the job done and provided us with everything we needed. For this kbbq, the staff cooks the meat for you, so if you’re worried about cooking your own meat, there is no need to. There was a constant flow of customers as well, and the staff did a great job with keeping that flow efficient.“

“My husband and I come here every 2–3 weeks whenever we're craving Korean BBQ. The quality of the meat is always consistent, which is something we really appreciate. No matter how many times we visit, the food never disappoints.
The staff are always friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable from start to finish. We always leave feeling satisfied and happy.
As someone who grew up enjoying Korean BBQ in Korea, this place brings back the flavors I remember. Whenever I'm craving authentic Korean BBQ, this is our go-to spot. In the Buena Park and Fullerton area, Ribs & Co is simply the best. Highly recommended! Ribs & Co Premium meats and a focus on authentic Korean BBQ are part of what makes the restaurant stand out.“

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

“Quality food, excellent customer service, and family atmosphere. I recommend trying the seafood or vegetable pancake and getting it crispy. The purple rice is a nice difference and a little healthier than the standard white rice. Used to love their aloe vera side dish, but unfortunately they don't have it anymore. Grace and Tim, the owners, makes you feel welcomed like you've been going here for years. Highly recommend you give them a try!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Delicious kbbq at a reasonable price! Staff is very nice and attentive always offering to switch grills and helping to cook meats

La marinated Galbi (the best l've ordered)
Marinated rib finger
Kimchi fried rice
Marinated pork belly

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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“꽃살 here has to be the best in town I've tried. Plus the staff is always great and so helpful. I just wish sometimes the light coming in wasn't blinding, but they do have blinds to cover it up. Otherwise our go-to spot for beef in town“

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

“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 experience here was seriously unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, the staff took care of everything so smoothly and professionally. They grilled the meat perfectly, changed the grill without us even asking, and made sure every bite tasted fresh and flavorful. Nothing ever felt rushed, and the attention to detail really stood out throughout the whole meal.

The quality of the meat was excellent, but the service is what made this place feel different from other KBBQ spots. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure guests enjoyed their time here. The atmosphere was energetic but still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the food.

Every dish we tried was delicious, and the overall experience felt polished from beginning to end. It’s hard to find a restaurant where both the food and service leave such a strong impression, but this place absolutely delivered. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family“

“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!“

“BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK FOR AYCE KBBQ! I visited during lunchtime on a weekday and was seated right away. Their prices caught my eye right away… $21.99 for lunch special!!

I loved their open meat and side dish bar where you can self-serve extra meats and rice as well! Stand out meats were definitely the beef tongue and beef belly!

The interior was spacious with lots of booth seatings available. The service was also very nice! Will definitely be back and highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“
