“I very rarely post 5 star reviews & truthfully I could dock them a half star for ambiance. However, the chicken is so good they get the full score! The chicken was crisp, but still juicy. The slaw and pickles added a nice sweet savory crunch complemented by the Devil Garlic sauce (half dozen choices). Turning the brioche bun inside-out to make a waffle bun is genius! The glazed side in keeps it from getting soggy & the pressed outside gives even more texture. The Cajun seasoned fries have flavor without being hot and were perfectly crisp. Probably the best chicken sando of 2024 for me & always a pleasure to support a small family business!“

“Do you like to eat intestines? This is the go to place for some of the best mouthwatering tasty intestines you will ever find! They specialize in intestines and offer 4 different types: small, large, abomasum and tripe.They do have other cuts of meats as well and they are all very tasteful. But if you love intestines this is the usual go to. Besides bbq they do offer other selection of food: tofu soups, rice dishes, jjajjamyun, and appetizersThey are not AYCE. They have different order option and the quality and quantity is very great so!Plz do keep in mind the meat quality is that greater than any AYCE which is why price is a little on the higher end but very well worth it.Every bbq order comes with corn cheese, kimchi stew, side dishes and salad. They do offer a great selection of dipping sauces for your meat don't be afraid to ask. I recommend vinegar on the side for your intestines.Service is always great and fast. They come around and moved around and cook the meat for you which is nice.“

It looks like they do a lot of take outs though.I got the lunch combo which came with two drum sticks, and four wings. I chose half and half: soy garlic and spicy.The spicy had a kick and was definitely spicy. So good! The soy garlic was a little sweet but still tasty. The pickle radish side was just a small condiment cup of cubes. The seasoned fries was a better choice.“

“I’ve been to Shabumi two times now, once to try the KBBQ option and the other time to try the hotpot option. Both times I went during lunch time so there wasn’t a wait, though it might be a different story if I went during the busy dinner hours. Because it was lunch time, the price was pretty reasonable, not sure how I’d feel paying for the dinner prices though.I really like that each person can choose between one or the other, that the table doesn’t have to choose just one. I also really liked that it’s individual grill/pot so you can individually choose ingredients/spice level.For KBBQ, I ordered the chuck eye steak, beef belly, beef bulgogi, and galbi. My favorite from these are the belly and bulgogi. You can order three meats at a time and they’re pretty quick with bringing out orders.For hot pot, I ordered black Angus chuck tender, prime chuck eye, beefy belly, and brisket point. The meat was pretty good quality and looked/tasted fresh. My friends and I chose the chicken soup base since it was the recommended one with the most flavor. I wish they offered a spicy soup base, but you’re able to make your own sauce at the bar.The salad bar was packed with lots of choices for noodles, seafood, vegetables, and other sides to add to your pot. I really liked the Japchae for their side dish too.Service was quick and the servers were attentive both times.Overall, I’d come back here again for lunch time.Parking: The restaurant shares a parking lot with Target and other restaurants. There’s plenty of parking, depending on what time of the day you go“

“11/4/23 - I did a phone order for a pick up. Ordered almost $90 of food to sample all the chickens and a few sides. I was told to drop by in 25 min. I was down the street and paid and waited just 10 minutes. Lots of food to bring back. We had a taste off in everything. Negative- onion rings were very breaded and not much actual onion inside. Positive- onion rings were very crunchy and not soggy or grease. Everyone liked all the chicken and every person had their own favorites. No duplicates which was odd. Chicken was hot and good. I didn't know the small check bites came with fries. The dumplings were good and the sauce which it came with was adequate. Overall 5 stars. Lovely cash register person again and the same as the other day. Everything was well packed. Lots of leftovers. Check out these photos.“

I'm definitely looking forward to come back soon. Good job team!Edit to add:I was here yesterday again. Only two days after the first time and again I can o ly say that it is going to be incredibly difficult to find another Korean bbq that can top this one. I shouldn't say this much because the wait might get even longer but to be honest it is realllyyyy good and I can't get enough. I'll be back in another 2 days.“

“Between price, quality, and quantity - Sushi Kuchi just makes sense! Most rolls are 50% off!I used to live in PB and now live in Mission Valley - I've been lucky to have a Sushi Kuchi conveniently located during both locations!Service is quick!Some of my top favorite rolls are: For tempera - stars wars roll, the warmth and cream cheese is the best combo!. For raw - Hawaiian Roll and Dragon Roll. Overall they have a pretty impressive large menu - WITH PHOTOS (I know that's helpful when places have creative names and you're not sure what to really expected based on the description).My only annoyance is sliced lemons cost $1, this must be a commonly asked thing because the location in Mission Valley started to post signs on there walls stating this. For disclosure - I love to squirt lemon on my sushi ,it brings out the flavors!But don't worry, no additional cost for extra sauces, ginger or wasabi!The vibe in PB is alot more young, fun, loud, busy, and live. The one is mission valley and get quiet busy as well but the vibe is a bit more relax. PB location is definitely alot tighter; traditionally sized sushi spot. The location in mission valley is much larger and has a nice outdoor patio.There's a tablet in the front "to add yourself to the waitlist" although I've never really waited more than 5-7minutes.“

“Unassuming enough that I would have otherwise overlooked it, I tried this place because it was close to my hotel and had good reviews. I was so pleased that I went back again the next night. The teriyaki chicken was delicious, was ready really quick and the serving was generous enough to satisfy the appetite I had after cycling all day. On top of that, the prices were reasonable and the staff courteous and helpful.. I’ll be back the next time I’m in San Diego.“

“Love getting their jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle) and tang su yuk (deep fried pork with sweet & sour sauce)! It's a classic duo to get. If you happen to get it as a take-out and you have the fire noodle hot sauce on hand, add some to your noodles and it will take it to a whole other level!“

“Our server was very friendly and helpful as this was our first visit. The meat was well flavored and our favorite sides were the cheesy corn and steamed eggs. It's all you can eat, and we did not pick our serving size, but were charged extra at checkout for not eating all of the meat they brought us. It was our first round of ordering, so it wasn't like we unnecessarily ordered seconds to go to waste. Seems like a silly way to get an extra charge out of customers; just charge a higher base rate if that's necessary.Overall, we were happy with the service and our meal, but I think we'll avoid coming back and find an establishment that isn't all you can eat next time around.“

“Absolutely loved this Asian market, we went right after our KBBQ meal. It's like a mall area, there's a market and different Asian shops within the store The prices are amazing we usually do HMart for our pantry stables and this store was soooo much more affordable and had a huge variety. So many workers available to answer questions store was clean, vibrant, and amazing. We will def start shopping here from now on.“

“We had the bowls and the ramen. The bowls were delicious, I thought the ramen was pretty good. I don’t have it often so i don’t have much to compare, my girl said it was just okay. She’s a ramen fan, so if you’re big on ramen I guess it was just okay.Bowls were delicious. She had salmon and crab salad, and I had spicy tuna, crab salad and salmon. We put on all the toppings. Amazing.The guy who was working wasn’t very friendly. It was about 9:30 and close to closing so I can understand if he was ready to go home. But, he said the ramen takes a bit to make and he has other online orders so he’s going to do those first. So we had to wait while he did other orders first, so one less star for that. We were there in person, I think we should’ve been prioritized.Food wise it would be 5 stars.“

“We visited 356 on 11/20 for dinner. I was there for all of five minutes, had one bite of Caesar salad, and went to the bathroom to throw up. I had food poisoning from a different restaurant and had to be brought home. My friend drove me home while her husband waited at the table. They still charged us for three dinner meals although I did not eat. I think this is extremely disappointing and I have never experienced a restaurant that had a policy like this. Too bad considering I was visiting SD and my friends come here once a month…“

Tteok

“I thought this place was permanently closed for the longest time until I realized it just shared the same space as the soondoobu place "next door." The Tteokbokki tastes pretty good although heavy on the pepper flavor, and the spam mayo bowl is good too (just literally spam, mayo, and seaweed). I like that the tteokbokki here is actually spicy. They need to update the menu posted outside the restaurant because it has old prices. $16 for tteokbokki seems so expensive when considering this is basically no-frills street food. I'd have liked to try some of the fried food on the menu but it's prohibitively expensive. The portion and price point is why I'm docking stars. I give this place a 3.5/5 but rounded up because I want to support these local Korean businesses.“
