“Today is Christmas Eve. It's after twelve o'clock at noon. 11 of us dined in this Korean restaurant. The meat in this restaurant is very fresh, and the restaurant waiter is also very warmly welcoming us, providing us with high-quality services and helping customers barbecue winter meat food! This restaurant is really good👌👍👍👍! All of us are satisfied👍! I will come back again. I will recommend more relatives and friends to come here to experience delicious food!“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“Skyleur us the best. He is an awesome waiter. He remembered who I was from months ago. He makes the experience that much better! Thanks Skyleur!“

“My husband and I decided to try this Korean AYCE BBQ after watching Rockstar Eater’s YouTube video featuring their LA Koreatown location. After checking their website, we found out that the Garden Grove location is actually the original one, so we decided to visit OC location.

Parking was easy, which is always a plus. We visited on a Sunday evening around 7pm. It was busy, but the wait was reasonable and we were seated fairly quickly.

This is an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant where you choose a tier- Diamond ($58.99), Gold ($34.99), Brown ($24.99), or Happy Hour ($19.99). We went with the Gold AYCE. Meats are ordered through the server, while side dishes are self-serve in the lobby area (self bar) . The layout is simple, table spacing is comfortable, and getting sides is very straightforward.

Since this is the original location, I naturally came in with slightly higher expectations - partly because of the YouTube recommendation and also from friends who had positive experiences in the past. For us, the meat quality was decent and the selection felt a bit limited, but everything was prepared well and enjoyable.

Service was a highlight. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to help, which definitely improved the overall experience.

Overall, this is a solid AYCE Korean BBQ option in the Garden Grove area. While it didn’t completely wow us, we still had a pleasant meal and would consider coming back for a casual BBQ outing.

“The quality of the pork belly was excellent, and the service of having the staff grill the meat for us made the experience very comfortable. The variety of pickled side dishes was impressive and paired perfectly with the meat. Both the doenjang-jjigae and kimchi-jjigae were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself was spacious and very clean. One thing I wish was that the staff could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, if you’re looking for authentic Korean-style pork BBQ, I’d definitely recommend this place.“

“Best Korean BBQ in OC! Love the food and the service. Did i mention free Thrifty's ice cream?“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“Servers were super kind and really good at making sure we were taken care of. This place is super dated but the food is on point and the price is fantastic. My 9 and 11 year old were charged the adult price, but hey it's only $21 for menu A. They usually just eat brisket but they liked the beef belly and ribeye bulgogi this time around. The pork belly was also really yummy. There is free thrifty ice cream near the door that we almost missed. Really great value. Would come back for sure.“

“Great, would come back, has lots of vegetarian options Next time get: Appetizer: ask which pancake is vegetarian the vegetable or kimchi Dayo: Beef and seafood soup extra spicy combo with spicy pork and white rice Mom: Vegetable tofu soup Medium, purple rice Beef and Seafood Tofu with Purple Rice“

“One heck of an experience. The quality of the meat is amazing. I have been to so many all you can eat Bbq places, but this place is one of THE best. The servers are kind and friendly and they are very fast. I don’t even have to ask for grill change, they just do it at the perfect timing. $55 is a little pricy but it’s definitely worth it. I think its cheap compared to the quality of the food and the service of a staff member“

“Excellent food. 👍. Will come back again.“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“It’s loud, it’s noisy, but the quality of the kbbq meats cannot be beat. I have been to Gen and all the Palace bbqs , but none compare to the quality of the meats here. I have to admit, Gen has xlnt training and their servers are on point.

Our grill was changed out frequently and our orders of meat came out generously.

Nothing is better paired than kbbq and a little bit of alcohol. Ziggles is a little hole in the wall on a strip mall with tight parking.

A little tip for you, you can actually park on the street in front of the strip mall so you don’t have to wait.

“Excellent service and food“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“We visited around 7 PM on Sunday, and although the restaurant was almost full, we were lucky enough to be seated right away without waiting. They don’t take reservations, so depending on the time you may have to wait. For an all-you-can-eat place, the meat was surprisingly delicious. The portions per plate were quite large, but our attentive waiter kindly suggested ordering half portions, which was perfect for us since we don’t eat much. The fresh salad was so tasty that it made us want to eat more. Our waitress was very charming and friendly, which made the experience even better.“

“One of my favorite KBBQ spots in the area. The beef quality is legit, and the charcoal grill makes a huge difference — you can really taste it. The staff here are always on top of things and super friendly. It just feels like they actually care. Definitely worth coming back.“

“My second time and I know quality. The Bulgogi and teriyaki bowls are excellent. Freshly made to order and teriyaki sauce tastes home made. The area is not the greatest. But willing to eat here, well worth it. Portions are humongous as well.“

“The side dishes and giblets seasoning were so delicious, and the unglazed cuts were easy to eat, and the water sashimi was also a delicacy.“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“Great spot for Korean bbq but they're not an all you can eat spot, nor do they have combos. Everything is a la carte so it can get pricey. But the food is good. Oh, and always ask for fried rice after the meal. You have to pay for it but it's worth it. Side note, ground gets slippery so wear something that grips. Greasy floors.“

“Located on the top floor of the busy Source OC. It’s a very nice place, with lots of glass windows for excellent views. I liked being seated by the window where we can people watch as the sun sets.

The staff is pretty friendly, though at times felt rushed when they were serving us. We were seated right away 5pm on a Saturday, but I can see it getting busier and busier as the night went on.

The meat quality is good, not the best I’ve had, but overall good quality meats which is reflected in the premium pricing.

The banchan spread is good too, and with kbbq it includes a tofu soup and steamed egg. I’m normally not a fan of the potato salad, but this I enjoyed, The sweet corn made it stand out. The cucumbers were a refreshing sweet. Kimchi, japchae were all delicious. Not sure if we could’ve asked for more as we weren’t offered any more when they took our empty plates.

The beef brisket had a great amount of marbling, which was great. Wish the portion was larger though. Not sure if we should’ve just gotten the combo if the portions are the same. The pork brisket is a pass for us. Not bad by any means, but I’d get something else if we come back

The marinated short rib was probably my favorite dish. The perfect amount of marbling and marinaded well. Juicy and tender.

It was a nice meal overall. While I wouldn’t consider this place a must-try, especially with so many options at the Source, it’s a good place for a quality meal.“

“Best Korean BBQ dining experience! Great quality tasty value for money BBQ wahyu beef & ribeye“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“First time there was today. The portions were good size, and the food was delicious. The waitresses, that waited on us were very polite and asked us every few minutes If we needed anything. My son also liked the cuts of the meats and the sauces were very good along with all the sides. We will definitely be going back again. Also, for desert ice cream. Yum.“

“I’ve been coming here for more than 10 years. This is the only kbbq place my husband and I go to. The new changes are fantastic! Great staff, service and food. They added mix drinks on their menu and I cannot be anymore happier. 🥰 we usually go during the day time and it’s usually not busy compared to other kbbq places that I have gone in the past. This place has always been my go to place. I think this place has been undervalued. Hoping with the new changes or new management, they will get noticed more.“

“1. This KBBQ is AYCE, and it has different types of meat!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is bigger than it looks!
3. The staff was friendly and quick with our order!
Note: Side dishes can only be order using a QR Code!

“Delicious food , great atmosphere moderately priced .“

“All the meats were tasty !
Service was good and attentive. Only thing is the 2 Korean ladies didn’t have clearest English and were hard to understand. Other than that they were really nice and attentive. They have a fee they add as a tip just FYI. I’d come back for the big screen tvs and kbbq forsure !“

“Had a great time with my fiancé the server was very respectful and fast I love going to GENS in Cerritos“
