This was my first time ever trying a korean bbq, and its safe to say that, I love ittt!!! I was born and raised in south korea, seoul, so I didn't expect it to be as "authentic" as Seoul, but surprisingly enough, it was!!! I reccomend this place, go to it rightnow!! Their Kimchi is fresh, their tteok is squishy and soft, its truly the best!!! 음식을 주셔서 감사합니다!!

Three words to describe it: exquisite, homey, and positive vibes.For someone coming from the Bay Area, I was actually quite thrown off by how delicious this place was. We got the seafood pancake, the ramyun with cheese and seafood, along with the assorted vegetables. While the ramen was quite seasoned and stuff, I wished they used mozzarella cheese instead of American cheese to add a little more flavor to it. The assorted dishes were also kinda small in portion, and the kimchi wasn’t really sour — it had a little bit too much gochujang powder residue left in there. Overall good food — just one star off for the blandness.Loved the service — we were served right away and the waiters gave us time and gave really good recommendations :)I loved how warm it was inside — it was honestly a little tight but I don’t blame them as the mall itself is also quite small too.Overall, I’d come back here again

The food is okay I wasn't impressed. The restaurant it self has nice decor but the food was not as flavorful as I was hoping it would be. There are better Korean spots.

Food was decent and very nice staff. I also left my bag at the restaurant and was grateful that they kept it for me even though they didn’t have any way to call me. Overall it was a nice family owned restaurant.

We're just passing through on the way back to the Bay Area and wow the food was amazing. Service was impeccable and the price for lunch was more than reasonable. We'll be back the next time we're in Tracy!

Nice ambience I'll have to say the food is good the service is fine. We thought it was a little bit pricey but all the little dishes that you get on the side and make it just so fun. The food is delicious.

This was my first time eating at Maroo Korean BBQ, located in Tracy, CA. I ordered the Spicy Pork lunch meal with lemonade.I was pleasantly surprised when the waitress brought out 6 individual bowls; each came with a different sample proportion size entrées. 1) Kimchi, 2) Pickled Cucumbers, 3) Marinaded Bean Sprouts, 4) Marinaded Potato Chunks, 5) Sliced Fish Cakes, 6) Blanched Broccoli, and a small side of steamed rice.The rice and bean sprouts paired well with my spicy pork, and the other dishes complimented the main dish as mice appetizers. The lemonade was nice and sweet to round out the meal. The spicy pork was served on a hot plate that sizzled as if it was a plate of fajita meat. The flavor was very tasty to the point that I almost ordered a second one. Overall, the serving size was just enough when eaten with the side dishes.The atmosphere was nice and quiet, and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. She offered me complimentary refill of any of the side dishes that I wanted along with the refill on lemonade.I will definitely eat here again, and would recommend for anyone who likes Korean dishes to give Maroo a try.

Thanks to all the Yelpers whose reviews led me to this Korean restaurant! And I am SO thankful to have a Korean spot here in Tracy that serves delicious food!!We ordered:Jap Chae (glass noodles)Bi Bim Bop with beef (rice, vegetables, beef, egg that you mix with the go ji Chung spicy sauce)--I can't wait to go in and eat the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bop which is the clay pot version which adds a nice crisp to the riceSoup with rice dumplings- first time having this Korean dish and it was very good and filling! DEFINITELY adding this one to our roster!!Vegetable pancakeSpicy chickenGlazed chickenThey also include Ban Chan (mini dishes):PotatoKimcheeCucumber kimcheeSpicy fish cakeBean sproutsBroccoli I was VERY happy they didn't have a mayo based ban Chan since I don't like mayo, and it seems like the others in the Bay Area have been including this like the one in DanvilleI'm already looking forward to eating here again!
Understaffed and it’s super slow. Needs more staffs to serve customers
