I got ordered ½pd pulled pork and a full loaded baked potato with pulled pork. All the pork had fish flavor. It was gross. I tried to mask it with bbq sauce from home and I could still taste the fish.I will never go back.

I love this place food. They never fail me with the quality of their Korean fusion BBQ. The Pork belly burnt ends are my favorite paired with their gojujang bbq sauce. So good. I recommend this place. Try this great culinary twist on BBQ.

Everything we ordered was dry and overcooked. We got the Brisket, burnt ends and the pork belly as well as a kale salad.The kale Waldorf salad is the curly leafy rough kind, which is not my preferred - flat leaf is softer and tastier (and easier to chew), imo. When you use the thick curly stuff, you gotta chop it up way finer, not leave it in giant ruffage chunks, or maybe mix it with the flat leaf or another kind of lettuce? IDK, this may just be me but it wasn't a pleasant salad to eat at all. The dressing on the salad was lackluster and super thin/watery - just pools in the bottoms of the container and doesn't stick to your salad, again, in part because of the type of kale in there.Can't even say anything specific about the meats because they were all equally dry, tough and boring tasting. Even the sauce was forgettable. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but this definitely just wasn't for me flavor or consistency-wise on any dish I tried. It all looks so much nicer in photos than it was to eat, which is a shame...sorry, guys!

Very tasty and flavorful. Pretty heavy though. Fries are good for the first few bites. Afterwards, need some sort of sauce. All burgers and sandwiches are generally good. The smash burger is affordable, and the patty is decent quality, but mine was a little bland and started breaking apart. Their briskets are decent -- tender and flavorful. Will definitely return.

This barbecue spot is a solid spot for lunch.I got the brisket burnt ends and pork belly and they were both delicious. The burnt ends were good but a little dry and the pork belly were solid. The fries were perfectly crispy and the macaroni and cheese were solid sides. The tropical sweet tea was a solid drink to mix in with the lunch meal.I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.
The wait and parking wasn't bad at all. Friendly service and patient since I couldn't figure out what I wanted.The food was good. I got the pork belly rice bowl and it had a lot of flavor. My son got the Mac and cheese and it was perfect for him. We shared a fresh lemonade, and it was too sweet for me, but adding ice and water could fix that. The ambience was casual and the music was good.I would definitely come back.

This was a new place we hit. I ordered their loaded fries with brisket. Do yourself a favor and order a side of fried egg on top lol I think it tasted good and def hit the stop. Due to the loaded fries I also ordered the Asian chicken salad. The combo I needed lol I should of probably posted pictures of the food before I devoured it lol Not a fan of soda in general but their fountain drink is super carbonated lol had me burping and hiccuping like crazy lol Def recommend coming in and giving it a try. Front of house lady is soo sweet and nice. I do however need to point out that the back of house plays better music than the ambience one Will def come back.

IT was suggested by the young woman who took my order...Gotta admit it was so good! Like really tasty. My co-worker got a chicken sandwich and he raved about it too.Will be going back

The old Just Grillin' restaurant site is now this new BBQ restaurant from Blossom Market Hall from San Gabriel. I always ask the cashier 'what is your most popular dish'. I settled on the bbq brisket sandwich and a side of mac n' cheese. We dined in and the food was served within 10 minutes. The sandwich was very good and the coleslaw added a nice touch of flavor. I will go back to try some of the other dishes especially the fried chicken sandwich.

I have tried burnt belly before they moved to this location and found time to come back. Sadly I did not make it in time for their lunch special hours which had the pulled pork sandwich for a dollar off. I still ordered it anyways. The order came within 10 minutes.The pulled pork sandwich is still one of the best I've had. The pulled pork is soft and tender while drenched with some aioli. The slaw gives the sandwich a nice crunch texture to break up the softness from the meat and bun. I'm not a big fan of thicker cut fries but they were well seasoned.Overall, just as delicious as I remember. I will probably come back to try the brisket sandwich next time.
