88Q Korean BBQ

The best korean BBQ i've tried ever ! The meat is perfect and not too much fat, the ambience is catchy, the service is 5⭐️! Very fast to bring the meat, change the grill plate and to refill the side dish either! How lovely this place, i hope they can open at lunch... for sure i will recommend this place and be back asap!

We love 88Q Korean BBQ! My family and I always have a great time here! The vibe is upbeat, the decor is fun, and there’s plenty of room so waits are never too long. You can even join the waitlist easily on their website, which is super convenient.

Service is always top notch and excellent! The gentleman who served us today was perfectly attentive; showing up right when we needed drink refills or more food, and checking that we had everything we needed without overly crowding the table.

The food is delicious and reasonably priced with three tier options. Our favorites are the filet mignon, the cajun scallops and the cajun tiger shrimp, each dish was so flavorful and delicious. They also give you a heart shaped herb garlic butter to cook with the filet mignon, literally so delicious!

Only small critique would be the garlic noodles were a bit overcooked this visit. Otherwise, everything else was spot-on.

Overall, 88Q Korean BBQ is one of our go-to spot with great food, great service, and great atmosphere every single time. Highly recommended!

We went at 2 PM on a Friday. Service was quick and staff was friendly and checked on us often, but most importantly the meats were sliced very thin so they cooked fast and had a nice crunchy texture which we preferred.

Only reason I give the food a 4 out of 5 is some of the meat quality i.e. some thin cuts had a lot of gristle and/or fat on it (though less than a lot of kbbq places though), and the bulgogi miiiight be a bit on the cheaper side considering the lowest AYCE tier being $36. Otherwise the unique atmosphere/interior, cleanliness, and quick service make up for a lot of that.

Walked in, young friendly hostess took us straight to a comfy seat. Interior clean, high ceiling, not smoky at all thanks to those cool retractable hoods. Server Ethan was solid, big smile, quick grill change on point.

Menu stacked with top-tier meats, Kobe and Wagyu (they ran out of Wagyu NY strip but still fire). Seafood pancake tasty, could use more squid though. Maxed my tummy but had to end with the jjampong seafood soup....boiling hot right at the table, ramen noodles instead of jjampong noodles but still hits the spot.

Finished with ice cream that straight up tastes like tiger sugar boba. That’s the sweet send-off right there. This spot is modern, fun, and worth every bite

Food is great quality, and they don't start bringing you lesser quality meat in the 3rd or 4th rounds--it stays good for your entire stay. Service is fast and kind. Sauces are good. Meat quality is great for all the beef cuts (didn't try pork or chicken). The banchan doesn't stand out but it's fine. The steamed egg is done right. There's ice cream for dessert. Soda is refillable. Price is competitive. This checks all of my boxes. It is currently my favorite AYCE KBBQ. Parking can be a little challenging. Wait time isn't too bad.

I recently tried 88q Barbecue Buffet and left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The variety of meats and sides looked promising, but the flavors didn’t quite match the presentation—most dishes tasted just average. The service was polite and the dining area was clean, so it’s not a bad place for a casual meal, but overall it wasn’t my favorite barbecue buffet and I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to return.

First of all, I'm a self proclaimed kbbq addict. I have feasted on various types of kbbq - ranging from the old school, budget friendly $12 AYCE specials of the early 2010's, to incredibly luxurious, Michelin earning COTE kbbq in Miami. 88Q stacks up right in the middle.

Let's say you're in the mood for AYCE, but desiring higher quality cuts of meat, impeccable service, and AYCE a la carte dishes from the kitchen ranging from spicy tofu soup, soft steamed egg, to my personal favorite, kimchi fried rice...then this is your new go-to.

I finally visited 88Q last night with a friend. For a table for 2 on a Thursday evening around 8PM, we had a wait of about 20-25 minutes. Parking is extremely limited as it is a relatively small shopping plaza.

Once we were seated, the variety of banchan was already waiting for us. Kimchi, radish paper, rice paper, bean sprouts, macaroni salad, and a fresh salad was awaiting us. They have 3 different menu options, A, B, and C. A is the most basic, B has some higher quality meats like pork jowel, beef tongue, galbi, and C has rib eye as well as other lux meat cuts. We opted for menu B, which includes their highly touted fried rice.

We ordered several rounds of the regular beef brisket, the beef tongue, spicy beef brisket, sirloin, pork belly - just to give you an idea. For sides, in addition to the kimchi fried rice, we tried their spicy tofu soup.

The meat quality is 10/10, and importantly, they are quick with service. My pet peeve is when we're out of meat and the server is nowhere to be found - this certainly wasn't the case last night. We dipped our meat in their wasabi salt, and WOOOOOOOW, paired with a crunchy, refreshingly cool radish paper, slice of kimchi, who said the perfect bite doesn't exist.

They also offer ice cream at the end of the meal, vanilla soft serve with either caramel or brown sugar drizzle. I went with the brown sugar, and despite my stomach shouting for help after we feasted on the meats, the ice cream was delicious and paired perfectly to end the meal.

If I'm ever in the area again and craving some korean bbq, 88Q has just earned my ribbon for go-to.

One of fancy Korean BBQ i can say is 88Q Korean BBQ at Rowland Height.

They got 3kind of menu called Menu Set A with price $ 38/adult and $19/child, then Menu Set B with price $ 48/adult and $24/child, the higher is Menu set C with price $ 68/adult and $31/child.
The different you can see on the pictures i made for their Menu.

I recommended for you to take menu B its enough. For the side dish : spicy tofu, steam egg and garlic noodle so yummy!

They give you 90min for dine in. And they serve ice cream too!

We visited this restaurant for a BBQ dinner and chose the all-you-can-eat option. The food itself was decent and the male servers were friendly and attentive. However, the experience was affected by one female server whose attitude made us feel rushed and unwelcome.

Near the end of our meal — well before the restaurant’s actual closing time — she kept coming over to ask if we wanted to continue ordering, repeatedly, in a tone that felt more like a hint for us to leave. She also kept looking toward our table, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable.

We ended up not ordering more and quickly paid the bill just to avoid further awkwardness. It’s disappointing, especially since other staff were doing a great job.

We hope the restaurant can train all staff to treat guests consistently and respectfully — no one wants to feel like a burden when they’re simply enjoying a meal within the allowed time.
