“If you’re craving teriyaki chicken and beef, this place is it. First bite, noticed how good the quality of meat is. The prices are so reasonable and good for how good the quality is and how filling it is. I got the beef and chicken plate and I usually eat a lot, but I was so full with a quarter of it still left. This was 1000% a solid teriyaki bowl and will come back for more.“

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

“Servers were super kind and really good at making sure we were taken care of. This place is super dated but the food is on point and the price is fantastic. My 9 and 11 year old were charged the adult price, but hey it's only $21 for menu A. They usually just eat brisket but they liked the beef belly and ribeye bulgogi this time around. The pork belly was also really yummy. There is free thrifty ice cream near the door that we almost missed. Really great value. Would come back for sure.“

“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.“

“Stopped by with my sister after the Long Beach Trolley Christmas Lights Tour through Naples. Everything we ordered was delicious, highly recommend the loaded Mac n cheese w brisket, I’m no stranger to soul food and this mac rivaled my own… so creamy. Everything is seasoned to perfection. The bbq sandwich with brisket and pulled pork was so flavorful, it didn’t even need sauce. Don’t get me started on the soft, chewy buns…The staff, not sure if the owner, was soooooo genuinely kindhearted. He made our family time even more special, laughing with us and letting us try the wings and dirty rice (try themmm!!!! Soooo good). Over the top tasty bbq AND sides. 10/10 would recommend. Oh and they were playing the jams (not too loud), nice to sing along between bites.“

“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 ❤️“

“Wow!! I just wish we lived closer so we could come more often. This place was amazing to eat at during vacation. Me and my husband shared the brisket and tri tip. Both were phenomenal but we liked the tri tip a little more. The sides were delicious as well!! We tried the Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese, and creamy corn YUM!!! Our waiter was so friendly and great and letting us know what was more popular and she really helped us enjoy our food. We will have to visit again and eat here!!“

“I wish I could give this six stars!! This place was amazing, the food the vibe and the service was the best I've seen in a long time. Marvin was the chef and made the best turkey I have ever had, it was juicy and tender and smokey, and all the other meats were the same. Christian greeted us as we were walking in and made us feel so welcomed and checked in all night making conversation that made the experience even better. We got the meat platter and it was a great price for such good smoked bbq. We finished with some amazing banana pudding for desert. I am definitely coming back here soon!!“

“Good service and the skewers were great. The lamb mild spicy and the mala lamb were great. The black bean noodles were good and the cold noodles were ok. I wouldn’t order the ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes) again. The mechanism for automatically turning the skewers is great.“

“Will be coming back! Food and service are great. If you're not sure what to order, the Premium is a great starting point, though a bit pricy. Now that we have a better understanding for our faves, we'll order items separately and pick our top choices.“

“Today is Christmas Eve. It's after twelve o'clock at noon. 11 of us dined in this Korean restaurant. The meat in this restaurant is very fresh, and the restaurant waiter is also very warmly welcoming us, providing us with high-quality services and helping customers barbecue winter meat food! This restaurant is really good👌👍👍👍! All of us are satisfied👍! I will come back again. I will recommend more relatives and friends to come here to experience delicious food!“

“I’ve been craving Mongolian Bbq for a while but haven’t really explored. Saw this place with good ratings and must say, the ratings didn’t lie! It’s a cosy hole in the wall place which you know that means it’s good. Staff are very friendly and attentive, explaining the menu and how this roll. I got the all you can eat with my boyfriend, it was so much food! I will absolutely come again and I will highly recommend this place to friends!“

“The best bbq in the OC...“

“Hands down BEST Pit Builders in California! I spent 5 years researching and slowly deciding who and when to get my pit and after a lengthy process I’m more then thrilled to have my 120 Gallon Harper Pit! It’s a no brainer they are often imitated but never duplicated with their ingenuity and craftsmanship is second to none.“

“A wonderful first time experience and we had a great waiter Hugo he was friendly and and on top of everything we needed.“

“Great dinner and our server was super friendly“

“ONOLISCIOUSNESS KAU KAU TO DA MAX!!“

“A definite hidden gem. If you driving through the area def get yourself some tacos and you will not be disappointed. Had the pastor and the chicken tacos and loved both but that chicken with the extra sauce, bomb. Even the Jamaica was great n refreshing. Prices were reasonable and fair. Will be out there again pretty soon.“

“Love their lunch items! Less greasy yet super filling lunch items if you are on the go! That being said, there is little to no seating area to eat the box lunch items.

If you are craving some Siu Mei (Cantonese Roast Meats), this is where you can also get items such as Honey Roast Pork (叉燒), Crispy Pork Belly (燒肉), Soy Sauce Chicken(是油雞), and Roast Duck(燒鴨)!

Important: They mainly accept cash. However, depending on who is in charge of payment during the day, they may be able to accept Zelle (no Venmo).“

“Delicious! We stopped in with a group of 7 on our way to the Great Wolf Lodge for dinner.

It was easy to order. Your biggest decision is one plate or all you can eat. The one plate is very generous so you've really got to be hungry to make all you can eat it pay out. There are a bunch of rules if you decide to do all you can eat posted on the wall.

Once you pay, you get a bowl to fill with the meats & veggies. If you have kids, you might encourage them to fill their bowls. You can either eat their leftovers or take them home with you.

The meats include meatballs, beef, pork & chicken. Too many vegetables to choose from. Three types of noodles. Vermicelli, egg & something else I can't remember. Two of us went egg and while the nameless noodles were good (the other 5 people got them) I think the egg is superior.

You pick some sauces and the chefs cook up your meal.

Hot & fresh!

There's a restroom and a fountain soda machine. You can also just get water.

Definitely a delicious stop if you like stir fry noodles.“

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

“Food was great. Server was friendly. Food came out fast. Check was big but hey what do you expect with bbq. I would go back.“

“Skyleur us the best. He is an awesome waiter. He remembered who I was from months ago. He makes the experience that much better! Thanks Skyleur!“

“The food was excellent the service was good.“

“I just bought some roast pork and roasted duck at this Hao Vi place yesterday 2/24/2024. Their food were very good as they advertised. The service was very nice and pleasant. Severs and cashier are very friendly and courteous. Definitely I will come back anytime when I am going to O.C.“

“The quality of the pork belly was excellent, and the service of having the staff grill the meat for us made the experience very comfortable. The variety of pickled side dishes was impressive and paired perfectly with the meat. Both the doenjang-jjigae and kimchi-jjigae were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself was spacious and very clean. One thing I wish was that the staff could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, if you’re looking for authentic Korean-style pork BBQ, I’d definitely recommend this place.“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“Fresh ! 2 thumbs up“

“Very good food & service.
Packed house even though we missed the Sunday dinner rush--we were seated smack in front of the wall & painted-over outlets, etc., very odd, do not recommend that table.
Wish it were closer to us.“

“This place is outstanding!! We got dinner here and didnt know what to expect. It was fire! Way better then expected. Unique and fresh take.“

“Visited Monday night, knowing it would be fairly quiet. Bartender Sandy greeted us and was attentive to us all evening. We had the best calamari ever and enjoyed everything we ordered. Please come visit us CIYC.“

“The cheeseburger was AMAZING!!!“

“Big shoutout to the helpful staff, Brian! 🙌 First time here. I ordered through their website and accidentally put the order for a wrong address. When I explained the situation, a staff member, Brian, helped me sort it out, even though he was very busy helping other customers.

I ordered my food there and it was great portion and great taste! Will definitely come back. Thank you, Brian!!!“
