If I could give 0 star, I would. The 1 star is for the staff being friendly. But the service sucks so so so bad. They never came back! I had to call the server and could only re-order one time (AYCE system). I guess they were short staffed. Weird thing is they kept seating people even though they didn't have enough people even for 1 section of the restaurant. The worst part is the meat being served FROZEN. I go to AYCE KBBQ a lot. Never once have I served frozen meats! I will never go back.

I will start off by saying the staff is very friendly and sweet, that's why I am giving two stars. But the service is not that great, I was one out of the two tables when I first sat down. It takes forever to flag someone down to take your order and sometimes they forget some of the items you order. The ambiance could be better. The food is mediocre. I was a little surprised that the meats ordered come out frozen. I don't order any marinated meats so anything with no marinade comes frozen. When you cook the meat, it's tough. There is an option to order tofu soup (soondooboo), this is probably what got me. She asked how many? Which I thought was odd until it came out. The soup came out right away, and it was in a small tiny bowl and literally.... It was soup with tiny pieces of tofu. Basically like miso soup but with different broth. I was taken aback because that is not what soondooboo is... so that was a no for me. We ordered a side of the spicy rice cakes and it was not good. I'm disappointed but this place is not for me. There are other all you can eat places with better quality meat and sides.

Ambience: The restaurant looked nice and organized. The table that we were seated at was also clean. But one thing that this kbbq restaurant was missing is an exhaust duct and hood at each table right above the grill, which I think is essential to have. But we were there for close to two hours, and impressively restaurant did not get smoky. Service: The service was totally five-star and top-notch. Our waitress was quick in bringing our food, and most impressively she did not need a paper or a tablet at all to remember any of our orders. And she delivered all of our orders correctly. Food: OK, let's get to the food now. My favorite was the #1, which was the spicy beef (think of it as Korean spicy pork, but with beef instead). It was very unique (I've never tried it elsewhere), it was delicious, and I would get that again. My second favorite was the #5, Chadol (beef, brisket). The beef brisket was thinly sliced, so when it was cooked, the meat remained tender. The #2, beef Bulgogi, was also good, but a few people at our table felt the meat was a little bit too sweet. But I liked it though. The #3, which was sliced ribeye meat, was good but it was not as tender as Chadol when cooked. But it was still good. We also ordered pork belly, which came to was super frozen and very thick. The pork belly was delicious and satisfying. It would be remiss of me to not mention how good their side dishes (banchan) were. I loved that they included Jap chae and seasoned Fishcake as part of the banchan! Price: $27 per person on the weekend was just unbeatable. If I lived nearby, I would probably visit this place so often.

We came here after deciding we did not want to wait for 3 hours for hotpot. This place is a gem! It's inexpensive, the portions are huge and they keep coming back with the sides. Other people than the bbq, we have the seafood Korean pancakes, drinks, and other appetizers that I cannot remember. I believe it's family owned, I could be wrong but the lady who served us was very sweet!

It's been a while, but it was a really good experience to have Korean food there. with 85 characters input requirement, I will say if you like expensive Korean bbq, it's not bad.

This is the OG of AYCE. They have a regular menu and AYCE they do it right here. You get the same quality of meat for the ala Carte menu and you can have it all. Best spot in Santa Ckara

We visited Beque Korean Grill in Korea Town, Santa Clara. It's an all-you-can-eat BBQ place we really enjoy. The food was alright. The meat quality was good, and it came with the usual Korean side dishes, all at a reasonable price. The atmosphere was very traditional.

Very tasty and you can't beat all you can eat for $27! Servers were fast and friendly, and even being 6pm on a friday night, it wasn't too packed.Definitely get the bulgogi marinated in house sauce, it was amazingMainly reviewing so I can find this place again to come back again :-)
Don't get lured into their cheap price for ayce. Very limited on meat selection. Banchan are decent. The sides you can order from their selection are mainly sauces. You have to pay $10 each time you order for Galbi. There's other places that are just as affordable with more variety. Very disappointed

This place is really underrated. Ok... the quality of meat is not exceptional, but for that PRICE and AYCE, it is not bad at all. The service might not be top-notch, but I don't think it is horrible like other reviews mentioned. This was the second time I've been to this place. I love to order their briskets, beef belly, marinated pork, and beef steak. The pork belly is okay (came frozen, thin, and fatty). I ordered a seafood pancake on the side $15. It's so good, and it is not heavily battered like other places. I would recommend this place.

No wait (party of 8) and fast service once seated. Marinated Bulgogi and Beef Brisket were so good. Side dishes were tasty and refills were free. Friendly service and great price for all you can eat!
