“Thank you very delicious Margarita and family“

“Brandon was our server and he was so nice, so funny, and explained everything to us loved it!! The wall decor is awesome, they even had robots serving your side dishes! The Diamond Tier was awesome with grade A5 the dry aged wagyu was melt in your mouth good! Just as good as what we had in Japan. Brandon cooked them up for us and we enjoyed talking with him. Celebrating my husband's birthday they sing and have some ice creamsicles ube or honeydew flavors. They do have drink stations, some extra food stations, a dessert station all of which you can walk around to grab yourself. The Otoro thick cut and black pepper beef cubes were our other favorites. Can't wait to go back!“

“Amazing food and amazing customer service!! I shared it on all my social media’s so all my friends would know about this place and be able to have their own experience at home. My whole family loved it and enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this place!“

“• Pricing is reasonable for the area; portions match what you pay and nothing feels overpriced.
• Mostly self‑serve with a simple setup; staff brings out certain items but overall you grab what you need.
• Staff is polite and efficient; parking is easy with plenty of spots, and the location is convenient to access.“

“I have also eaten at many barbecue restaurants. The ingredients in this barbecue restaurant are very fresh and taste good. Both meat and vegetables are grilled to perfection. The environment shows that the boss is very attentive and the service is very considerate. The price is reasonable and cost-effective. I recommend it to friends who like barbecue.“

“Such a super fun place with yummy food! Bring your stretchy pants!!

The restaurant is clean and decorated to have a good time! The service was very friendly and helpful!

They offer both KBBQ and seafood boil. We had both and enjoyed each bite.

They also have a bar area offering sides for your KBBQ and so many roll choices.

We had the premium menu and took advantage of their amazing offer of a free boil (deal ends soon, check restaurant). The premium menu had plenty of choice meats offered including seafood choices such as shrimp and octopus.

The servers there were quick to change out the grill for us and make sure we had everything we needed.

The boil itself was generous and tasty. We had the house special flavor, which I recommend! In their boil they offer one crab or lobster pp. we had one of each and wow! Felt special!

We will be back!“

“ok so we had their brisket and holy cow it was actually perfect, super tender and that smoky flavor was just right. i honestly didnt expect much from a place in a strip mall but the moment i walked in it smelled amazing. the mac and cheese was good too, really creamy with a little crunch on top. we got there right before the rush and the guy working was chill and helped us decide what to order. definitely gonna come back next time im in town.“

“I love this place! It just a whole vibe!“

“This place is consistently the best BBQ around this part of town !!!“

“Wow… I have been wanting to bring home dinner from Steve’s after work, and I was finally able to time it right. The food was unbelievable!
The flavor of the brisket was perfect and so tender. The twice baked potato was the best that I have ever had. They were very kind when I picked up my food, and the restaurant looked so beautiful inside. I will be back hands down!“

“I would recommend Little Skewer if you want some authentic Chinese food. My group of four loved the skewers the most- it was full of flavors, and cooked perfectly. Not only the food will amazed you but also the interior- feels like your in little China. IMPRESSIVE!“

“We enjoyed my birthday dinner tonight at Jakes Roadhouse. The food is delicious and the friendly service was great.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“This place is such a hidden gem! The food exceeded all my expectations—grilled skewers are juicy and well-seasoned, and the stir-fried noodles have perfect texture. Service was attentive, our order came out fast and the workers were polite. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, really a great spot for casual meals with family or friends. 10/10, I’ll be a regular customer from now on!“

“Great selection! Very clean, tasted really good. So happy they are close by!“

“Sakura Grill is a great spot for fresh, flavorful Japanese-inspired dishes served in a relaxed, casual setting. The menu has a nice variety, and everything comes out well-prepared and consistent. The grilled items are especially satisfying tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right.

Service is friendly and efficient, and orders are handled quickly whether you’re dining in or taking out. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy a laid-back meal. Overall, Sakura Grill is a solid go-to for dependable, tasty food with good value.“

“The BBQ is so good for me. Service was friendly and fast, and the overall atmosphere was warm, laid-back, and full of that Chinese BBQ charm. Whether you're a BBQ lover or just hungry for something hearty and satisfying, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Absolutely obsessed with this restaurant! It’s my go-to whenever I’m in the Walnut area and need a guaranteed delicious meal. Let’s talk about the Hainanese chicken - it’s a revelation. The texture is unbelievably tender and smooth, not a bit rubbery. You can tell it’s made with care. The chicken skin has a lovely, subtle gelatinous quality, and when you pair it with the fragrant rice and the incredible house-made chili and ginger scallion sauces… it’s just perfection. Don’t sleep on their other dishes, either. The potato noodles come in a massive, steaming clay pot with a soup base that’s both spicy and deeply flavorful. The fried buns are golden, crispy little clouds of goodness. The atmosphere is super casual and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. Honestly, for the quality and portion size, the price is a steal. This is a true neighborhood treasure, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“Great ihaw ihaw and crew are very friendly“

“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!“

“I had the catfish and it was great . You have to eat it with the special sauce he has . DD was just outside with his meat smokers and jamming some amazing tunes. What a great guy and I will definitely go back for more. 5 big stars“

“Came by because I was craving for Hong Kong style cafe food. This is a hidden gem in the area. There is a small parking lot available. This is a small cafe, and it is very clean. Service was fast. We ordered half roast duck, beef chow fun, Hong Kong style “yin yeung,” and iced orange tea. Food was amazing. The beef chow fun was a little bland, but it became flavorful after we added a bit of soy sauce. Price was reasonable. Will come by and try other dishes next time.“

“What a gem this BBQ spot is! Whittier is so lucky to have Bibs Ribs and how lucky are we to have this staple in our own backyard! I will be going back!

Just stop reading, do yourself a favor and go check it out for yourself! You won’t regret it or go anywhere else again for BBQ!!!“

“I love this place. Lively Atmosphere.“

“Inside the Whittier Brewing Company, it's a small food hall with individual vendors. You order at a counter. Hours vary by day until they sell out. Go early as brisket & sausages sell out quickly, especially with World Cup watch parties held in hall.
Nice smokey spicey sausage. Tender brisket. BBQ sauce has smoke and a bit of sweet tang. Love the mac and cheese! Creamy, rich, comfort food!“

“I was in Diamond Bar for work and was craving Korean BBQ, so I decided to check out SEOUL BBQ after seeing all the great reviews. Let me tell you… this place did NOT disappoint!
If you can make it for lunch, their $24.99 AYCE lunch special is one of the best deals around. The banchan came out first, and everything was fresh and delicious, but the glass noodles were my favorite. I could’ve eaten those all day!
Then the meat started rolling out… game over. The prime rib, beef belly, and brisket were all fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. Add a little salt, throw it on the grill, and wowww… every bite was amazing.
We also ordered the kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, and spicy tofu soup, and every side dish hit the spot. The service was quick, the staff kept checking on us, and they never let the grill get too crowded.
For $24.99, the quality and variety are hard to beat. If you’re looking for a solid AYCE Korean BBQ spot in Diamond Bar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back. Soooo good… let’s go!“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“it's a friendly place with alot of happy smiles, it's food is great! best Hawaiian food I've tasted in a while... u can usually catch the owner at the shop and is always willing to talk to u as if u are part of the family.“

“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.“

“What an amazing local find! The BBQ was incredible, but the service from Michelle really put it over the top. She was so polite and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of the whole time. If you love a great 'mom and pop' restaurant with a welcoming vibe, you have to check this place out!“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“My service organization regularly came to Silver Spoons' predecessor, so when we found out that Silver Spoons was open, we made the restaurant our next meeting location so we can try it out!

I usually order my go-to to test out a Thai restaurant, so I ordered the pork pad see ew ($14.95) and mild golden curry with chicken ($14.95). I would've ordered a fried rice, but the mild papaya salad ($13.95) caught my attention instead. Note that the dishes come with your choice of chicken, pork, or tofu included in the price, but if you want beef, it'll be an extra dollar, and for shrimp, an extra $2. What was surprising was that the curry doesn't come with white rice. You'd have to fork out an extra $2.50 for that. I thought everything tasted great, though both the papaya salad and pad see ew was a little heavy on the sauce.

My friend ordered mango sticky rice ($12.99) for dessert and I was surprised and happy they had that available (I went to another Thai restaurant during Christmas time and while they had the mango sticky rice on the menu, they said it was not in season so they weren't selling any). I took a few bites of it and enjoyed it -- not too sweet and not too heavy! Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a free Thai tea.

Service was pretty good! There's plenty of space inside for small and large groups. Plentiful parking too in the parking lot.“

“I love it enjoy so much I wanna more“

“My go-to sushi spot for sure. I’ve been here so many times that they already know my order when I walk in 😂. Great sushi, great service, and they always make you feel welcome. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“The food is fantastic, the staff is friendly, welcoming and efficient. What's not to love?“

“I've been coming here since 1985. Ownership has changed, but it's always good. That's why I rated it 5 stars. Price has gone up, but quality doesn't go down. I come here 2x a year. Can't do too much, don't want a heart attack!“

“We had a wedding rehearsal dinner on Saturday July 2nd. Included Ribs, Chicken and Tri-Tip! Wow, did that go fast and I asked how was the food..... 5 stars especially the thin sliced Tri-Tip (made great sandwiches). Thank you Diane and crew. We will be back.“

“delicious food, great customer service, drinks are also great“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“I really cannot say enough good things about this place.

Let’s start by saying the Maria, the Chef knows exactly what she’s doing.
The food was amazzzziiiinnngggg!

If you like hot, Nashville hot is the way to go.

The Gentleman serving the food was just amazing.
Sincere respectful and very caring.

The portions are big and the flavor is epic.

Bonus Tip: They have the best banana pudding on planet earth!!!!

Will come back here again and again and again !!!!“

“Flavorful & JuicyStopped over to pick up a little BBQ. Yum, yum.Tri tip, ribs and chicken.Yes, try the chicken it falls off the bone totally juicy and has an excellent flavor (tip: you don't need any sauce) it's great.Tri tip is juicy and you get good chunks.We got 2 sides mac n' cheese (thumb size noodles and plenty of cheese.

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

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

“We love that there’s KBBQ at the mall close to home now- we got tired of making the drive out to Ktown so often. Ask for Billy to help you when you get there! We were confused about some side dishes but Billy really seemed to know what was up and helped us out :)“

“10/10 hands down the best BBQ!“

“On our way from LAX to Palm Springs after 10:00 pm we were looking for a quick bite to eat. Drove by this restaurant and figured we would try it.The experience was one we will absolutely recommend, regarding both food and true Chinese culture. No where near what I was expecting.We had the lamb and also beef skewers and fried rice. An appetizer was brought out that we did not order, as it was included, which was right away different and tasted unlike any other soybean and peanut I’ve experienced. It was delicious!The lamb and beef was cooked to exact request and was also delicious!While we have dined at many Chinese restaurants throughout the United States, as we travel extensively and dine out regularly this surf past any, and all other restaurants, we’ve dined in for this type of food. Here’s the difference this was not Chinese food that has been Americanized in most Chinese restaurants. This was true Chinese prepared food.I truly believe you would have to travel to China to get this quality of food and culture.I will also say that we spent 3/4 of our time speaking to Cindy, whose father owns the restaurant which caters to home cooked events at homes, so this is not their primary source of how they deliver the product to the public. The hour and 15 minutes we spent there was made so much more enjoyable as Cindy walked us through the culture the food and Wyatt tasted different because it was truly cooked to Chinese standard. So I have to say, was it the food that was the greatest experience, or Cindy‘s presence and her willingness to have an open conversation about why they do it the way they do, and enlightened us about the culture of the food,I strongly recommend anyone that wants to find out what real Chinese cuisine is and how it is cooked and prepared in China. You realize very quick that this is not your drive-through, Chinese pick up takeout, that we are accustomed to here in the United States. This is a must try for the food if nothing else and when you’re there I recommend you ask for Cindy.After visiting with Cindy, she made it a total experience for an awesome evening of culture that was absolutely excellent.It is always nice to be able to understand and realize the actual culture of cuisine you are eating. Cindy, she made an experience of great food, a completely enjoyable experience. That was absolutely excellent off the charts. Cindy made it a 2 for 1 bonus to the evening.We will absolutely be driving from Palm Springs back to the restaurant. It was absolutely enjoyable. Not to mention the cost was nowhere near what we expected. It was almost like we ordered off a lunch menu for cost and the food that was delivered, and was ample to feed 4 instead of just the two of us.Thank you Cindy for an enjoyable evening and thank your father for being an unbelievable chef. The experience was one we will fondly look back on and make sure we repeat again.“

“Tasty food, generous servings, below average prices. My wife and I had the roast duck noodle soup. Tasty duck, lots of nice noodles, I think it was Chinese broccoli cooked tender. Broth was okay. Lots of takeout traffic. Not where I would take a first date, run down. Service was okay. Decent parking in the lot. I'd go again for the food. Takeout is ideal. Lots of other menu choices to try. Discovered this through Vic and Jeff's food blog on YouTube.“

“This is a soondubu (spicy silky soft tofu soup) restaurant like BCD chain. You can order combo menu with a meat or fish entree with a version of soondubu soup. You can select the spicy level and toppings for the soup. I thought the soup is really good but the meat dishes except for the LA rib were too sweet. Ban Chan (side dishes) were just average. For Diamond Bar I think this outlet is fine. There is plenty of parking in the shopping mall lot.

Parking: Plenty

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground floor with wheelchair ramp.“

“The roast duck is juicy, Char Siu is tender and juicy. It’s under new management and Beef Stir Fry rice noodles is most popular. Prices are very reasonable. No pictures because before I can do so… food are mostly gone 🤣 will come back for sure“
