My husband and I tried this place for the first time last year and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food!

We absolutely love love this place.“

“I highly recommend ordering the pull pork sandwich it was delicious. I truly love the kettle chips. The pepperoni pizza with seranos was on point. The staff is so nice and welcoming.“

“First time there was today. The portions were good size, and the food was delicious. The waitresses, that waited on us were very polite and asked us every few minutes If we needed anything. My son also liked the cuts of the meats and the sauces were very good along with all the sides. We will definitely be going back again. Also, for desert ice cream. Yum.“

“Tandoori Pizza IS A MUST HAVE👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 10/10“

“I was famished and tired this day leaving from an oil change I found on Groupon. I’d been waiting on my car service 3 hours so as I finally left I found this place.
The man at the counter was smiling and very welcoming. It brought me a bit of joy. My food was hot and he even asked if I wanted extra sauce (never heard before) . The places that just waste sauces because it’s not their money makes me a BIt bothered But this place seemed to have a well oiled system that included great customer service. Thanking them for the food and the smiles. I love experiences especially great ones.“

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

“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.“

“This is my first time going and I was lost I was looking for a standalone restaurant. This is inside a little mini mall atmosphere building I would have never found it if it hadn't been I was meeting a friend. By the way the food the barbecue is awesome it is unbelievably good The meat was just so tender and that barbecue sauce was absolute heaven on earth. I love the atmosphere. It was so nice and cool inside parking was a bit of a nightmare but it was worth it to have lunch at the pit and bull. Bathrooms provided an indoors very clean great atmosphere there's a lot of picnic tables set up where you can pick what restaurant food you want pizza or barbecue or there's a bakery in there that has the most awesome desserts I got a cherry pie and an apple pie They were $9 They were a little mini pies. All I can say is I highly highly did I mention highly recommend this place It is unreal awesome 👍🏽😎“

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

“Came in for taco Tuesday and got a great deal for the price.

2 Smoked Brisket tacos which were maxed out portion wise, Rice, beans, chips and an Horchata to wash it all down for under 10 bucks…

Can’t beat a deal like that with a stick even if you wanted to! Not to mention the tacos were great, the Brisket was tender and very flavorful. Staff were very friendly as well.

If you’re looking for a good taco Tuesday deal don’t sleep on Hole Mole.“

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

“We sat outside and the umbrella didn't shade all of us. The waitress was so nice to move our table and the umbrella so we could all fit in the shade. The food and service were fabulous. Their drinks are yummy .I'll definitely go back.“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“found out this was basically right across the street from our house so my dad and i just went there today for dinner…..food was amazing, definitely will go again“

“This our first time here. We came at almost closing ( 840pm) but the employee was really nice to accomodate and still help us with the food. We ordered a combo 2 for $29 ( only online) n got it to go since they almost close. The food came out hot and portion is generous, they gave a lot of meat and sides r delish. For a bbq chain this is really good quality. Fries r crispy n well seasoned, mac cheese was good, bbq sauce was delishhh. The toast was soft but crunchy at the same time, very buttery. The meat is so juicy and tender and soft fall off the bone type. I couldnt finish my plate in 1 go n i was pretty hungry! Definitely will be back again :) 9/10“

“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%“

“Fricken Awesome... At Food Journal Magazine we think every chef should try and incorporate at least one of these product`s in their menu. I have never heard of buffalo chicken egg rolls...mind blowing! Matthew Gregory Editor In Chief Food Journal Magazine“

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

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.“

“Thee best in the west And fast service“

“Gus Deli is Good But Expensive for some items“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best BBQ hands down! I have been getting my Que for over 3 years now. So much they know me by name and my order. I'm a no sauce person and a lot of places can't deliver that "wow" effect when it comes to seasoning. But Rowes seasonings is to perfection. All the sides are fire, my favorite is the potato salad. Plates are well portioned, for a great price. And we ain't gonna talk about the Peach Cobbler??. Gotta get there early tho, because by 3 or 4 some food can be sold, that's just how good it is. No cap, I have business I do bi weekly in the area and I never leave without going thru and grabbing a plate. Keep bringing that ? Que Rowe I'm a customer for life!!!“

“Absolutely loved my experience at Ziggle K BBQ in Artesia! This place offers an authentic and traditional Korean barbecue experience that's perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a variety of delicious meats and classic Korean sides. The ambiance is spot-on—a cozy, traditional KBBQ setting with smokeless tabletop grills that let you cook your own meat. It really adds to the interactive dining experience!

We tried the garlic pork belly (so flavorful), brisket (a classic favorite), beef belly (it melted like butter), and the bulgogi (perfectly marinated and so tender). The corn cheese was incredibly creamy and paired perfectly with the savory meats. Plus, the banchan selection was fresh and yummy—everything was spot on!

The service was excellent, and the staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. I also appreciated their lunch special ($22.99 on weekdays) and happy hour discounts on all alcohol and fountain drinks (20% off). It's an amazing deal for the quality and variety of food they offer!

If you’re looking for a delicious Korean BBQ spot, Ziggle K BBQ is the place to be. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Korean cuisine or wants to explore it in an authentic, welcoming environment!“
