50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Hawaiian Gardens

“Let me start off by saying, I’m not a fan of pizza, I had a very cold slice of Valentino’s on Halloween and couldn’t believe how freaking good it was! If it’s good cold it’s gotta be amazing warm and fresh out of the oven right…. Well it was better than amazing! Not only was the pizza unbelievably delicious the service was top tier, both men were super nice and friendly. If you love pizza I suggest and urge you to go grab a pizza (or ten) from Valentino’s. ❤️ ? ?“

“Zero complaints. Overall, it is a very solid all-you-can-eat KBBQ spot with reasonable prices, good quality, and great service. There are long waits sometimes, which is how you know it's good, but it's seemingly always packed. Wish I discovered this place sooner.“

“Food is always good, but quality service is hit or miss. If you have a party larger then 2 people they automatically charge gratuity. Kids are charges as adults at a pretty young age, I think it is 6 years and up but don't remember exactly what age they charge.All you can eat but everyone at tabe must choose the same plan.“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“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.“

“Good food. Great service. Very understanding and accommodating staff.“

“I’ve only gotten the stock burger which is very good. Hoping perhaps one day I’ll be hungry enough for the max rib“

“Wow 🤩 just found a phenomenal local BBQ master and SHE, yes SHE is definitely The Smoke Queen!! Absolutely melt in your mouth delicious, will definitely order again! Let’s support local and small businesses like such.“

“Great service and food . The best ribs in Cerritos“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“When you enter, the delicious aroma hits you immediately. It's not the prettiest place but it has a fun atmosphere none the less. Enjoyed the k-pop playing in the background.

The marinated beef bulgogi was delicious. So was the beef belly. Also, they had 2 flavors of thrifty brand ice cream for dessert. That was an unexpected and tasty surprise.

We will definitely be going again. Next time we will bring the whole family (& friends).“

“My family of 5 celebrated two birthdays today. We ordered take-out from Santa Maria BBQ. The food was delicious!“

“Yummy, brisket sandwich:) quick service to my Car“

“Meh. As a southern bred girl from South Carolina, I will say, leave the BBQ up to us. This place was okay. Now, the brussels sprouts were stinking delicious. My burger was bland. My friend's bbq was mid. The waitor was very sweet but he didn't seem to know what he was doing when it came time for our checks. There was a nearly naked woman painting on the wall. (But i guess that's how California is...i dunno) Seats were not that comfy. Otherwise, great location.“

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

“Today I went to rodeo 39 in Garden Grove with some friends and I stumbled across Kra Z Kai's. It was my second time trying Laos barbecue. This place is a hidden gem for sure. Everything was the delicious. The ribs were marinated for 24 hours. The barbecue pork and the chicken were all marinated in the same sauce. The owner told me the service was fast and this whole ambience was nice some of the best food I've had in a long time next time I'm going to Garden Grove. I will come here again.“

“Mad Wolf Mongolian BBQ is an absolute gem! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, with so many great options to choose from. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and service!“

“Good food,,friendly and accommodating staffs👍“

“great place! top to bottom“

“The BBQ baked beans are legit!! Big chunks of meat in it and veggies!! Yum!!“

“Everything was good. Good food, friendly and funny waitress, they even gave us 10% off because we are here for a birthday meal. The skewers auto rotate which is very nice. The only thing I wish is the food can be cooked faster for bigger parties. Some dish recommendations: scallop, hot dog, lame, beef.“

“The food is AMAZING ! The ribs, the Mac n cheese, the green beans, the cornbread, everything we had was over the top delicious and the service was great !! Our new favorite place ❤️“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“I found this new BBQ pop-up in Lakewood at the YMCA and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the kindness of the family that runs it, to the delicious food. Last week I had the 3 meat plate (I chose brisket, pork belly and chicken) which came with 2 sides and it was only $28! The brisket and pork belly were SO tender and juicy and had an amazing flavor! Earlier today I had the one meat plate with chicken, this coleslaw that is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, and their brisket chow mein. So good! Everything is homemade down to the sauces and they have things like burritos and Texas toast brisket grilled cheese. It’s called Axiom Kitchen. Husband, wife and kids and so kind…they made us feel so special. We haven’t had service like that in a long time. I know they are at the Lakewood YMCA on Sundays and I think Fridays and they are at another location on Thursday but I’m not sure where.“

“My mom come visit me, and I’m decided go with her in a Mexican food, anadelfa is very attentive and very friendly, and the tacos was very fresh and very delicious, now I’m addictive in hole mole… that place is the spot.. I’m recommend“

“Very best Korean BBQ place.
Cozy environment, professional staff, delicious food! They have indoor and outdoor space, I like both, depending on the size of the party. I tried almost everything: beef, pork, squid(oh my God, their marinated squid is really good.), everything. Even their steamed egg is good.“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

This was my first time at Broken Spirits distillery. Came oodles of times at Portuguese Bend distillery so it the restaurant is similar yet different at the same time. Major differences for me: I feel like this is more of a BBQ based restaurant/distillery with all the meat on the menu. (Don't get me wrong, I love the meat!). We ordered and shared the 16 oz prime New York steak ($44.99) which also comes with two sides! This is a killer deal that I would def come back for. For sides we got broccolini and fried Brussels. ( Alone they're $7 side). TBH, I kind of enjoyed the sides a bit more than the entree itself, but both were great.

Cocktails were yummy too as they were about avg price for LA county at $14 each. Came fast and tasted great!

There is plenty of seating inside and service was great. Parking is close in the garage across the street if there is no street parking.

If you're on the area, I would def stop by here!“

“This place is a gem! I was craving something with a little bit of everything so I got the bibimbap, and beef plate with shrimp tempura and spicy cucumber. Needless to say I was blown away by how great the quality was - the owners are a kind and welcoming couple. Definitely making this spot a go-to!“

“Food is always amazing here. My family only comes here for Korean BBQ. There are hundreds of other options nearby but you just can't beat the quality of the meat and the service. There's a reason why a line is formed before they open... especially on weekends.“

“I tried the beef liver and kofta sandwich and the tarb (by pound ) and hawawshi the meat was juicy and freshly made to order and the best thing is the actual quality of the meat itself and how clean it is I’ll definitely be back the only thing this place could use is a radio or “

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“This spot is within a food hall and I love these setups because of the amount of food options available.

I ordered their bulgogi burrito with no rice along with their Korean spicy popcorn chicken. The burrito was phenomenal and one of the best burritos I’ve ever had. A bulgogi bowl but put into a wrap and the popcorn chicken was solid. Overall both items were delicious.

I’d definitely come back to try their other menu items and overall it was an excellent lunch!

***update***
I also tried their make your own salad bowl with salmon, chicken and bulgogi. It was excellent and overall delicious bowl with a great sauce.“

“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 5*

Stopped by here with a colleague. We ordered the $19.99 lunch special. He offered to give us a mix of all the different meats on this menu so we could try them. There are specific ban chan you can get like Kimchee, fish cake, potato salad etc. The service was great, very attentive, helpful and friendly. I will return with a larger appetite.“

“I Had rhe pleasure to come to this restaurant with my husband early part of the year and was extra pleased with the services and the delicious ? BBQ. I wanted go return soon, so I went again with my friend . I treated her to a very nice birthday lunch. Once again, everything was so delicious and just perfect!. From the cleaness , to the friendly professional staff. Excellent atmosphere and just so on point. Will be coming back again soon.“

“The meat was good and tender. Service was exceptional. However, they could use some coaching on preparing the sides. They were a bit lackluster in taste.“

“Ribs, Beer, and setting at the bar. Great food.“

“Words can not describe the taste of this food. This unmarked truck has been here for years and has always served the people with the greatest food that has ever been made in the history of this planet. I am 100% convinced that whoever cooks the food or made the recipe is a prophet spreading the word of God through cooking. if there was a way to rate this more stars I would do it In heartbeat. There will never be food better than this. If there are one million fans of BBQ stick I am one of them, if there is one fan of BBQ stick, it is me, if there are no fans of BBQ stick, I am dead. Good day

Vegetarian options: Uh, I dont think anything is vegetarian, I guess the rice is, and that's all you need since it's so divine.

Dietary restrictions: There's only four menu items, so if you're allergic to them or can't eat them for other reasons it's kinda over for you.

Parking: Parking at the swapmeet Is free and this is pretty close to the entrance.

Kid-friendliness: If your children enjoy eating they will be fine.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's accessible and the tables should be fine for anyone in a wheelchair.“

“Thee best in the west And fast service“

“My sisters and I came from Bakersfield just to try his BBQ, let me tell you well worth the trip, worth the price. Especially extremely grateful that he accommodated our needs for seating. Very welcoming, polite, funny, and great customer service. Thank you once again!! We will be back with the whole gang next time!!😉“

“Came here a bunch of times and never disappointed. The food is delicious and they give a great amount of it, especially for the price. The only little problem is that it has happened that few times they didn't understand my instructions (just no veggies lol) even though i asked repeatedly. I think is just because English is not the owner's first language, so as long as you make sure they understood you are good to go! I recommend 100%“

“This is an underrated gem near the Rose Park neighborhood on 7th Street. The young lady and man working the counter are friendly and seem genuinely interested in serving customers. There's a cozy ambience to the place that is so inviting, and the food is great quality for the reasonable prices. Coming back all the time!!“

“Tasty French dip. Lots of meat and a really tasty roll. Will definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience!“

“From the east coast of Buckroe Beach, Virginia to Compton, California, we stopped through Rena’s BBQ soul food spot in Compton and I got to say the food was very delicious especially the greens. When my family and I left we were full and satisfied. You get plenty food for the money. If you stop the LA area give them a try. Thanks again fellas for the hospitality. We will be back!“
