Wang Cho BBQ All You Can Eat

To my surprise, this place was really good. From the moment we arrived, the service was fast and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Everything ran smoothly and we barely had to wait. The food was excellent — the meat is top quality, with premium cuts and great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. I honestly recommend it, especially if you like Korean BBQ and want a place where both quality and service are worth it. Very good spot.

A Hidden Gem for BBQ Lovers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
​If you're looking for an affordable spot with endless variety, Wang Cho is the place to be! I absolutely loved the BBQ section—the best part is they can even grill it for you, even on weekends.
​The variety here is impressive:
​Fresh Sushi & Cold Sections: Tons of options to start your meal.
​The BBQ: Flavorful and cooked perfectly.
​Dessert Bar: A huge selection to satisfy your sweet tooth!
​Don't let the older building fool you; the interior is clean, tidy, and smells fresh. The staff are incredibly hospitable and friendly, making the experience even better. We visited on a weekday and had plenty of seating. It’s a solid buffet that holds its own against the big names!

The place is nice . But this one server /waitress . Her name is Jordan. I didn’t like her service . We had a party of 5 ppl. We had hair in our Mac . Also when we asked for refills on the sides , u can tell she was getting irritated. We were breaking our Ramadan fast and we were a bit hungry . We were actually very sweet with her . We even left a 30 bucks as a tip. Tbh I’m not going back anymore . I’m big on service and if I’m pay I’m expecting a good attitude. She shouldn’t be working as a server . She better change that attitude. Bad look for her . But the food was good . Just her attitude.

It is all you can eat. When I go (my kid likes this place), I eat well. But, as far as KBBQ is concerned, Wang Cho quality of meat is not very good.

Only AYCE KBBQ place that has let me get a table for 1! Great since i dont always have a friend who wants to join me but crave kbbq after work. Prince menu which is cheapest option had everything i liked so went with that.
Service was phenomenal i had someone checking on me within every 5 min. I was able to get in and out eating 8 orders of meat in less than 45 minutes! It was a busy night too so id assume service is even better when it is slow. No complaints highly recommend

I visited Wang Cho KBBQ in Irvine with my mother and my beautiful niece. I found the restaurant through Google Maps while looking for a nice place to treat them to some good KBBQ, and this was our first time there. It turned out to be an all-you-can-eat spot. The restaurant was extremely clean and stylish—almost like walking into a high-end place. Everything felt well-maintained and impressive.

Personally, I’ve never had great experiences with all-you-can-eat KBBQ. Many places tend to season their marinated meats too heavily, almost in a way that makes you want to drink more, so I usually avoid marinated meats. But my niece loves them, so we ordered some and I was genuinely surprised. The seasoning wasn’t overly strong at all, and the flavor was far better than I expected. I’ve been cooking for over 20 years, so I’m very sensitive to seasoning and taste, and Wang Cho KBBQ did an excellent job.

One thing I did find a bit disappointing was that although there were different types of marinated meats, they seemed to use the same marinade for all of them. I was hoping each cut would have its own distinct flavor.

Still, my mother and my niece were very satisfied, and we ended up having a wonderful time together. Overall, it was a great experience.

Everything was great, only wish there were more options for sides such as potato salad or the little anchovies (personal preference)

Very nice experience good spot, I prefer locations at Korea town. Was almost $200 for 4 people $35 per person. I like when other spots I’d find $20-25 per person helps a lot with the bill just as good food too

I came here during lunch on a random Wednesday. They were not too busy. I honestly can't decide what was more amazing, the food or the service. I had mostly beef and some veggies. I would 100% go again.
