“We haven't been disappointed at Ruby Red. Food and service is the best.“

“Their an awesome restaurant. Loved their Mongolian noodle dish. Also loved the fact that they had a sign that if your down on your luck the meal might be on them.

That's such a big heart coming from restaurants. Most have razor thin margins for most of their foods in this industry.“

“Absolutely tasteful! Amazing service. Their style of BBQ hits the soul. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Well. My Girlfriend Julie & I Love Swim Together At The Beach. & We Can Dance At Sea Salt In Huntington Beach.“

“great place! top to bottom“

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

“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.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

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

“One of my favorite places to get naengmyun. Mo Ran Gak is a name that is widely known to have reputable cold noodles.
When you get a meat dish with naengmyun, they give you a small side dish of the spicy one as well. Or vice versa if you got the spicy, you'll get the broth one as a side.
There is a small parking lot here and usually a line even right when they open.
I would advise on coming early or putting aside enough time to wait 1 hour before being seated on a busy day.“

“🔥 5 stars 🔥

Tried the Bulgogi Burrito at Marinate Korean BBQ and it was seriously 🔥! The beef was super tender and packed with flavor — savory, a little sweet, and really satisfying. Loved that they use fresh veggies 🥬 and gluten-free grains 🌾, so it feels lighter but still really filling.

The marinade is on point 👌 and you can tell they use good quality ingredients. Plus, it’s such a fun twist on Korean BBQ — perfect for grabbing on the go 🚶‍♂️🌯.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for something tasty and different. Can’t wait to come back and try more! 😋“

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“We visited around 7 PM on Sunday, and although the restaurant was almost full, we were lucky enough to be seated right away without waiting. They don’t take reservations, so depending on the time you may have to wait. For an all-you-can-eat place, the meat was surprisingly delicious. The portions per plate were quite large, but our attentive waiter kindly suggested ordering half portions, which was perfect for us since we don’t eat much. The fresh salad was so tasty that it made us want to eat more. Our waitress was very charming and friendly, which made the experience even better.“

“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!“

“One of my favorite KBBQ spots in the area. The beef quality is legit, and the charcoal grill makes a huge difference — you can really taste it. The staff here are always on top of things and super friendly. It just feels like they actually care. Definitely worth coming back.“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Hands down the best spot in LBC for BBQ! We got the tritip, brisket, sausage and beef ribs and hoooooweee! It was all good, down to the last bite.“

“Thee best in the west And fast service“

“Grading this on a curve of theme park food and, honestly, this ranks as high as it gets for their quick service. I got the ribs, chicken, and corn on the cob and they were all delicious. Maybe a little dry but again this is theme park quick service, so you shouldn't expect anything less. The line is usually pretty long but moves quickly. Plenty of seating, though it is all outside.“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“Gus Deli is Good But Expensive for some items“

“Great restaurant, convenient parking nearby, our bartender/server was great! Answered all of our annoying questions on bourbon (and sold us a bottle made on site). Food was also great. It got busy as we ate, and our server got busy (double-duty as bartender). Can't understand why several employees standing around didn't pitch in to help the servers. But otherwise, we were very happy.“

“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).“

“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!!😉“

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

“Service, food, and atmosphere was amazing. Food was top notch and our server Kat was the highlight of our night. Kat was a Jedi, before I asked for a refill it was already on the way, brought extra napkins before I could even tell her. Will definitely be coming back over and over again.“

“I am not from around the area. The girlfriend and I happen to pick pizza for dinner. We came here, got pizza, spaghetti with meat balls and the garlic bread. Only ate half because it's hit the spot and I was satisfied, didn't need to eat more to be full. I recommend everyone try this place, I wish this place was in my area.“
