Barrio Garden Grove

12-5-2025 I was on my way to Kaiser Garden Grove for blood work. I decided to stop by Steelcraft for a late lunch. I decided on Barrio - Filipino/Korean food. Lots of variety to choose from.
Ordered a pork,chicken,shrimp skewers with rice, lumping which came with sweet&sour sauce and a calamansi slushie. My food was served quickly and was delicious.
They are one of the restaurants at Steelcraft. Lots of bench seating.
I highly recommend this place. If you want quick & yummie food.

I was excited to eat here and am a returning customer but was disappointed when I was met with rude customer service and overpricing. I attempted to order the pork belly plate while my toddler played with the connect four nearby. The girl at the register did not greet me, did not smile, and tried to charge me an extra $1.25 to make my side half salad/half rice; meanwhile, the menu stated $1.25 is a charge for an “extra scoop of rice.” When I tried to reason with this rude cashier with flat affect, she insisted the half rice/half salad would be an extra $1.25. I walked away after I realized there was no reasoning with her but came back to speak with the manager and she told me she was by herself and no one was available. I told her I would find this business online and review it. So here is my review, I did not try the food here this time but with the kind of customer service I was provided, I would never come back. When you hire customer facing staff, be sure they are friendly so that your customers return, otherwise you will lose business in this already difficult economy. Thanks for reading.

The food here is good, we were disappointed they ran out of salad on a Friday night and it was not even busy ... so it was just the protein and rice. The flavor was good, it's a good portion for just one person.

I waited for over 50 minutes because they mixed up my order, twice. In the end, all for Liempo that was mostly burnt. The atmosphere is loud and chaotic. Overall, I had a really disappointing experience here.

Wow… just speechless
I hate to leave such a negative review since I hear the food is good but I’ve never had such a terrible restaurant interaction. We were in from Chicago visiting our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson and they were excited to take us to a fun outdoor venue. I waited at least five minutes at the window while the young woman was on the phone, without her ever acknowledging me. While paying, I said (kindly, I thought) “I would normally tip but you kept me waiting such a long time”. She responded that she’d been on the phone with her boss and I didn’t need to tell her that and I just said that I thought she should know. I assumed the interaction was over and done but when I picked up the food she leaned out the window saying “I hope you learn some manners because you’re a very rude woman”. When I objected, she then told me I should never come back and slammed down the takeout window. I asked at the other window to speak to the manager and she called “Stan” (or pretended to call him?) to tell him a “rude lady wanted to tell him how rude she was”. She wouldn’t let me talk to him so…. Obviously, threw out the food because, given that interaction, who knows? Seems like some basic customer service etiquette needs to be taught. Acknowledge the customer and if you make them wait, an apology goes a long way. I’m also guessing her boss wouldn’t have wanted her to ignore a customer even if she was on the phone with him. Hope she was just having a very bad day and that this aggressive behavior isn’t her norm.

Visiting California, we decided to stop by Barrio because of the Korean and Filipino Food concept. The location reminds me of Container Park in Vegas and The food cart pod in Oregon.
Service was good. She was nice and friendly.

I ordered the Pork Liempo. The meat was tender but the flavor lacked. Sigh...
Maybe it was an off day. The meat needed salt.

Steelcraft is a cool place to hang out with friends because you can pick what you want to eat out of the selection of resstaurants they have and there's tons of seating. I got the pork bulgogi, a side of lumpia, and a strawberry lemonade slushy.

Pork Bulgogi Bowl with Rice - The pork was marinated well and had a nice kick of spice to them 9/10

Lumpia - Delicious and crispy! 8/10

Strawberry Lemonade Slushy - The drink was a bit too sour for a sweetened lemonade 6/10

I’m hooked! The fatty pork belly is amazing! I found out that on Mondays they are closed, because after eating there on Saturday I wanted more! Alas, I finally found parking and made it to their place with visions of fatty pork belly dancing in my own belly…closed! Lol. So I went back tonight and they were open! Ordered my food and rushed home to eat! Lol Ono as we say in Hawaii!

Advertise Filipino food but extremely limited dishes, mostly lumpia. Lady told me it’s Filipino Korean . Went to another location instead

DO NOT EAT HERE! I used to come here at last twice a week but I have been consistently served completely raw chicken and no longer feel safe eating here at all. Once is mistake, but this is now the third time and a pattern. Called to let staff know to hopefully make sure no one else gets sick and they didn't to care at all. They are going to make someone really, really sick. This place used to be so good for the price, but I guess the reason it's cheap is because of them skimping on food safety.

Edit: Group now has food poisoning, and reading other reviews the raw food is a really common thing! I feel dumb for eating here!
