I love ordering their meals to go during Covid times (I have not sat down inside yet). Pork belly is really good but they're almost always out. Brisket is usually dryer so I get beef belly. I always end up with some runs but it's probably the grease Their plate was very inexpensive but slowly price inched up. Dine in price is still fair if you still want to go inside!

Said it was open but when I got there the door was wood and no one around tried calling no answer but it said open.

The food was alright. Service ok. But at the end of it when we got the check they ADDED A GRATUITY ON THERE OWN OF 15% which came out to about 10$. The waitress didn't tel us until after our meal that we could have gotten another beer for 1$. What a coincidence!! I honestly don't mind tipping but I absolutely will not tip ever if a restaurant forces you to in the total. There was no sign that a tip will automatically be added to your total. DISRESPECTFUL DISGUSTING to expect your customers to tip by force. I am a strong believer that tips are earned and the server by no means went above and beyond for us even forgot so many things we asked her for multiple times. I'd rather pay the extra 7$ at gens to ensure quality meats and services.

Good price customer service is always great no matter who serves you. Food is good for the price

Was recommended this place by friend. The menu is small, but the price really makes up for it! 18.99 for all you can eat. I'm used to at least 25 dollars for the basic menu from most places. Our server Matthew was super nice and very attentive! If you're just looking for the basics like Bulgogi, chicken, and brisket you'll save some cash here. I also reccomend the bean paste stew, very good!

They keep raising the price but still reasonable. Not as high quality meats as I used to but I was happy to find this place

They don't have too many items compare to other Korean BBQ restaurants. They only have eight items of meat. The price is $18.99 for adult and $9.99 for kids. Few weeks ago they posted a sign outside for $9.99 AYCE but never mentioned that was for kids only. I walked in and found out the price was different. At the end, they even bill a fixed 15% gratitudes charge which $2.50. The menu did not mentioned about the 15% additional charges. I had to pay $23 some for the lunch. Never expected the lunch would be that expensive in a small restaurant. In that case, I should go to some other bigger Korean BBQ restaurants in Garden Grove.

Food was very vary good... I just didn't like how they don't wash the grills they just use a wet rag and wipe them down. The server was very nice and polite.

Husband was hungry for Korean food. I'm the Korean, but he's the foodie. One sure-tell sign about Korean restaurants, if no Koreans are in there serving or eating, then something is off. The ambiance was Asian, but the American pop music threw me out of "Korea." I would have really appreciated some Korean music with my food. Unlike others, I didn't think the bulgogi meat was too sweet. I think it tasted fine as far as sweetness goes. I didn't see sesame seeds or green onion floating in the marinade which is part of authentic Korean food. Authentic Korean restaurants and households usually serve cabbage Kimchi with your food. They served cucumber kimchi (oi kimchi), seasoned tofu (banchan), rice cake (tteok), a bowl of lettuce with a dressing on it (was that supposed to be salad?) and Korean potato salad (gamja). I ordered the beef. Husband ordered spicy chicken and pork belly. The meat was great. I have dysphasia, I have a hard time eating, especially meat, but the meat was thin enough to cook quickly and chew easily. That's a plus. We got a bowl of rice, and I took my gogi (meat) and took the "salad" and used that to eat my bulgogi. Bulgogi is supposed to be eaten with lettuce and rice. I saw some sauces on the table, but none looked like gochujang, so I passed. Would I eat here again? Probably. It wasn't bad, just not my style of "Korean." Would I take my family here for "authentic" food? Naw...we'll go back to Garden Grove's Korean district and hit up a restaurant with a bunch of ajummas.

We've been going to Mr.Lee BBQ in Artesia for years, but service and atmosphere have suffered consistently over the past couple of years. We live closer to the Stanton location but have always been afraid to see if they're the same? Low and behold; they are BETTER!!!! Food is the same, however the service and atmosphere are FAR superior!! I hope you get a chance to have service with Aldo....he is seriously THE BEST!!! Super kind, super attentive and just a delight!! This is our new Mr.Lee's BBQ! We're coming for you Aldo!!Kid-friendliness: Plenty of high chair availability.Wheelchair accessibility: Tables are nicely and adequately spaced.
I’ve been coming here for years and today was the day that I will never go back there. MOLD surrounding my rice paper. I was half way done with my rice paper when I see a spect of black on the bottom side of dish and so I raise it in the light and sure enough hairy mold growing on it. I really hope I don’t get sick from it but already stomach isn’t feeling the best. I just don’t understand how they couldn’t have noticed mold if they would have served it fresh? all they did was charge myself as a child 9.99. I didn’t want to be Karen at all but cmon if there mold in my food it should of been free?? I could seriously get some problems from eating MOLD. hairy growing white & black mold.I also have noticed over some months that the sides are always re used if you don’t want the side they will just throw it back into the container that carry’s that side. My Kimchi was always so old looking and warm.I always liked this place before today but honestly save your money and go somewhere else especially now they charge 18.99 for this? Not okay.

I mean you get for what you pay for!! The quality of the meat's are okay per usual!! We went this past week for lunch and oh my gosh, I couldn't believe that they're AC was off!! It's been scorching hot in Orange County they have no care or curtesy towards their customers!! My husband and kids were dripping in sweat!! the whole experience was so uncomfortable!! It was easy over 90° in the restaurant, just imagine having a hot grill in your face while trying to eat dripping in sweat!! The employees saw how uncomfortable we all were and did nothing!! Don't go there during the summer y'all, their watching that electricity bill!

Came in randomly during lunch time, very humble spot. You can tell they make the employees all try their best, service was great!! Food was even better!! Great taste, waiters were all very attentive. Price is the best around as well. Give them a try, I give it a thumbs up!!

Had me wait 20 minutes before she told me they close at 9. Why not tell me right away that yelp was wrong?
