“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“I’d say the food was tasty and fresh and the place is spacious. I would suggest the servers put a smile on their face and let us know when the seafood is ready to eat once they are so we don’t keep wondering/asking and keep looking at the food on the grill. The seafood got burnt a couple of times because they didn’t come back for it but that was ok because it was just rare occasion. However, they were still attentive to our needs, thanks to them.“

“Nice clean restaurant offering a great menu.

Service was so attentive. I was being helped even before I knew I needed help. It’s like they could anticipate my desires!

This restaurant has a great alternative to Korean bbq as this is made with an amazing broth! Seng Bulgogi combines the grilling flavor with a comforting soup element and I am here for it!

They use a mountain of fresh,raw beef slices cooked right in front of you in a broth with onions, mushrooms and veggies!

While this dish is the one to come for they also have a menu full of favorites including seasoned wagyu beef tartare, crispy seafood pancakes, seafood casserole, hot stone bibimbap and cold noodles. They even offer lunch specials Mon - Sunday.“

“Tight squeeze for groups larger than 4 but the price for all you can eat lunch here is unbeatable. Servers are nice and will explain how to order via tablet or qr code. The meat is good quality with a large selection of cuts, the sides are also really good and can be picked up regularly at the side (recommend the kimchi and fish cake).“

“Gui Gui is a hidden gem in the SGV!

The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the meat is goooood.

We got menu A which includes Premium cuts of meat and they did not disappoint. The soy marinated rib was my favorite! Other cuts that we loved were the brisket, marinated LA beef rib, and the rib eye.

They have a bar with cuts of pork, bulgogi, and hot foods.

Their lunch special is $22.99 and that's a steal! Definitely coming back again.“

“Great lunch special priced at $22.99 (available 7 days a week which is pretty rare) and they have a DIY taco station! The taco station is so unique and definitely worth trying to elevate the meal! Good vibes, decent service, and you can queue via yelp waitlist. There are two locations La Habra + Rowland Heights!“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“If you're on the lookout for an exceptional dining experience that feels like a warm embrace, this charming family-owned gem is a must-visit. The owners are not just figureheads; they're genuinely involved in the day-to-day operations, which adds a personal touch that’s increasingly rare in the restaurant scene today.

One delightful revelation I uncovered is that they prepare all the Banchans—those delightful small side dishes—right from their own kitchen. This homemade approach really shines through in every bite. I had the pleasure of trying their Bibimbap, Galbi beef, and the seafood tofu, and I can honestly say that each dish was a revelation.

The Bibimbap was a colorful medley of textures; the fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked rice harmonized beautifully with the delectable sauce. The Galbi beef was succulent and bursting with flavor, and you could tell it had been marinated with care. The seafood tofu was simply outstanding—rich, creamy, and generously packed with fresh seafood, making it a highlight of my meal.

What really struck me was the freshness of the ingredients. Everything tasted sumptuous and made with love, which is becoming a rarity in today's fast-paced dining environment. It’s clear that this restaurant values quality and authenticity, making it a standout option for anyone craving delicious Korean cuisine.

Without a doubt, this will be my go-to tofu house from now on. If you're in the mood for a home-cooked meal that feels both comforting and elevated, don't miss out on this fantastic culinary experience!“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“Shhh…hidden gem! This ayce kbbq restaurant is outstanding! I’ve been to many kbbq places over the years and Seoul BBQ is top notch. Everything came out quickly, including the fried potstickers, water refills, meat refills, and grill changes. It was a laid back atmosphere, not a bunch of announcements or loud music. It had a good vibe for talking and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed several rounds of meats from the A and B menus, multiple grill changes, some peach flavored rice wine, and a fun time with friends and family. The beef bulgogi and beef brisket were excellent; everyone else in the group also enjoyed several other cuts of meat including garlic pork belly, flying tiger beef, short rib, beef belly, and others. The parking lot was a bit rough so beware. Everyone that went into the restaurant seemed well dressed and happy to be there.

Parking: There is currently some barricaded construction which has blocked some of the parking spots (Dec 2024), making it difficult to find parking. There was also broken glass in one of the stalls which raised concern about cars being broken into recently. Turn on your car’s camera if you’ve got one.“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“Great, would come back, has lots of vegetarian options Next time get: Appetizer: ask which pancake is vegetarian the vegetable or kimchi Dayo: Beef and seafood soup extra spicy combo with spicy pork and white rice Mom: Vegetable tofu soup Medium, purple rice Beef and Seafood Tofu with Purple Rice“

“Pleasant surprise for a great meal after golfing across the street at Diamond Bar. Meat was fresh. Bangchan was tasty and service was good, granted that it was a quiet night. The decor was kind of odd for a BBQ spot but the price performance is great.“

“quality meat, quality service, good atmosphere, clean restrooms, huge parking, what more can you ask for? highly recommend, will come back for many times. do the $55 premium ayce, worth the money! huge selection of banchan, did i mention quality service?“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“Great spot for Korean bbq but they're not an all you can eat spot, nor do they have combos. Everything is a la carte so it can get pricey. But the food is good. Oh, and always ask for fried rice after the meal. You have to pay for it but it's worth it. Side note, ground gets slippery so wear something that grips. Greasy floors.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“The side dishes and giblets seasoning were so delicious, and the unglazed cuts were easy to eat, and the water sashimi was also a delicacy.“

“The food and service are great! Haven't been here in a while, but still great, we'll come back soon“

“Why I’m writing this review it’s because the food was good. The brisket was good and the lady too and I appreciate her so much and grateful she should get a $10 tip and every time she pick up the food when she when it’s cooked she says it’s hot. That’s nice. Good vibes.“

“First time here we celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday. The food was delicious. They have big portions to share. Our server was so sweet we had little ones with us so she asked if we wanted the food to be cooked in the kitchen. My son (7) and granddaughter (3) picky eaters really liked the food. Thank you so much“

“I don't know if I had high expectations or if the chef didn't show up during lunch time, but I was recommended cold noodles and pork cutlet, but I think they were below average.

The overall atmosphere was good and the side dishes were delicious, but the main dish was lacking. The taste of galbi cold noodles cannot be missed, but the ribs seem to have lost their flavor and the cold noodles leave a lot to be desired.

The soybean paste stew was really bad.
I don’t know how to make this soybean paste stew.
It can't be without taste @.@

The servers are friendly and the service is good.“

“Israel our server greeted us with amazing service, never had us waiting, he was fast and friendly and he even served us our drinks before his shift ended making sure we get our refills in which we all appreciated very much please have him be shift leader because he literally had the floor at ease and on time with our meats and sides . Thank you Israel 💙“

“The staff was friendly. the food was one price endless meat and sides...and you cook your own meat. Need to try at least once. AND go on an empty stomach! 😬“
