“Best, new family owned place! My first time trying Korean BBQ...had the spicy pork...soooooo good! Environment was very welcoming...and customer service was awesome! Kuddos to owners Maggie and Earl...you’re doing a great job! #customerforlife“

“Came here for lunch special with my dad. Only one order allowed per person for $11.92 each. We got the spicy story fried pork and the seafood tofu. Both were excellent and quite spicy!! The waitress working there was the nicest person ever. Like over the top service and quality. Very clean and empty when we came during opening hours.“

“Great kbbq. We came for dinner on Sunday, there was a little wait. The environment is nice, the bar with grill is cool. There are many food options and the meat quality is good. The food came really fast because all you need to do is order thru the phone by scanning the QR code and the food was delivered by "robot", so no need to nonstop asking for more to people. The down side for that is there are not much engagement from real people, so sometimes you would have to asking for new grill, water, etc. It is a great place overall, definitely will come again“

“The meat quality is top-tier, and the AYCE price is relatively cheap considering its in Irvine. Our server was quick and attentive, responding to our request in time. The only thing I think this restaurant can be improve is the Yelp reservation system, we are in waitlist #4, but after few minutes, we became #8 spot. We asked the front server about his, and he quickly find us a table when its vacant.“

“Baekjeong Irvine offers an intriguing and immersive Korean BBQ experience that truly stands out. From the moment we entered, we were captivated by the interactive dining concept, where the server expertly grilled the meat right at our table, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal.One of the highlights of our visit was undoubtedly the outstanding quality of the food. Each cut of meat was impeccably fresh and flavorful, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised by the selection of IPA beer available, which complemented the meal perfectly.The cleanliness of the restaurant was commendable, and the overall pricing was fair considering the high quality of the food and service. The atmosphere was lively and friendly, contributing to a welcoming dining environment.However, our experience was not without its drawbacks. Visiting on a Saturday noon, we were disappointed to find that there was no bartender available until 5 pm, limiting our drink options. Furthermore, the wait time to be seated was longer than expected, which detracted from the overall experience.In conclusion, Baekjeong Irvine offers an authentic Korean BBQ experience with exceptional food quality. While there were some minor issues with service availability and wait times, the overall dining experience was enjoyable and memorable.I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience in Irvine.“

“Went to I Can BBQ last night with my kids (12, 17) and we had a great experience. We are new to the KBBQ world this past year but have tried Shik Do Rak and Song Hak and like them both....but I Can BBQ was absolutely the best. Got a table right away on a Sat night at 6 pm. Everything is ordered on app and pictures make what you are ordering very clear. Service was fast and friendly. Finishing the meal off with a macaroon ice cream sandwich was perfect. I Can BBQ is our new go to KBBQ and we all can't wait to go back!“

“Wagyu Meat and Grill is a family-owned teriyaki grill and fresh meat market specializing in top quality Wagyu beef bowls and plates. At the time of this review, they have 2 locations in Irvine and another in Buena Park. We visited their location off Irvine Center Drive near Sand Canyon Avenue. It can be found nestled in a strip mall between Bay Poke and Grater Grilled Cheese. Their website mentions "superior service", but IMO the staff was friendly enough but I wouldn't say they went above and beyond to ensure a quality dining experience. I ordered the Wagyu Moco because I can't resist a good loco moco. I'm a big eater, so I appreciated the size of the wagyu patty topped with an egg. The side of rice, mac salad and cole slaw served to complement what turned out to be a hearty meal. All in all, it was a good deal for the price and I would be willing to try again in the future.“

“Price is high, but there’s never a wait. It is not the best for celiacs and dairy allergies, but you can usually make it mostly work with most servers if you stay on your toes.Honestly though, if you *really* wanna make sure you aren’t exposed to an allergen, I would suggest doing something like going in earlier to scope out with a server all the ways it could go wrong and how those ways could be communicated and avoided. Maybe even forthrightly pay for the service so the server really thinks through how you could make sure all your servers (you don’t have an individual one) are hip to your allergens.Vegetarian options: Oh god there really aren’t many. You’re gonna need to at least tolerate cross contamination.Dietary restrictions: As mentioned you can kinda make it work, but it’s strenuous and relatively high risk as these things go.Kid-friendliness: Honestly I think kbbq is pretty kid friendly in general unless the kids are animal loving vegetarians like I was.Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty fine tbh“

“I really love this place. Already brought all my relatives there and they loved it too. Meat is great (my fav is umami beef) and sauces are awesome. Minus that they don't have a reservation so it's important to come beforehand to avoid waiting in line. Reasonably priced too.“
