50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Yorba Linda

“I had the most incredible dining experience at this BBQ restaurant! The moment I walked in, the mouthwatering aroma of smoked meats filled the air, and I knew I was in for a treat. The brisket was unbelievably tender, and the ribs fell off the bone with each succulent bite. The sauces were a symphony of flavors, from sweet and smoky to tangy and spicy. I've never tasted anything like it. The sides were the perfect complement, and the mac 'n' cheese & summer salad were downright heavenly. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who made me feel right at home. If you're a BBQ lover, this place is an absolute must-visit. I can't wait to go back for more!“

“All the meats are so fresh, I love beef tongue the most. As some comments suggested, don't cook too long so I cooked majority of those as medium rare, which tastes really good. Service is also good, they always gave big smile. Not like some other bbq restaurants, there is no smoke, it's like high level Japanese bbq restaurants. For sure I'll come back!“

“When I came in, I was welcomed in by Joon. He was so sweet. I loved talking to him so I hope to see him again when I come back. Our food was sooooo gooood the meat here is the best I've had. It melted in our mouths, while the pork was so tasty. The side dishes they gave were amazing and went well with our food. definitely try the kimchi and salad here if you ever come here Their decorations were so pretty and the music they played made our night so fun since it made us feel like we're in a club.“

“Nice hidden BBQ gem in OC. Was presently surprised by this spot. Found it on Google maps when searching for a place toneat with kids and freinds on a Saturday. I saw that had Beef Dino ribs, I was sold. Gave it a try, have to say, it was super good. Great bark, good flavor, nice light smoke, fall of the bone tender meat. It was really good. O would say it's on par with Moe's in Lincoln heights and heritage in San Juan capistrano. Thier beef Dino ribs sell out, and I was happy this place had them still available, because they are as good. The price wasn't bad either. Think it was $35 for a rib. Also tried the pork ribs. Really good, great flavor, fall off the bine. Brisket was tender, and juicy. Mac n cheese, was amazing. Only grip, they didn't have any corn bread or bread options. Other than that, great meal, would definitely go again. I would recommend this place to anyone in OC looking for good Dino beef ribs.Parking: Lots of free parking“

“On my way to Big Bear, we stopped by this restaurant. It's my first time having Korean BBQ and all I can say is that I am blown away!They give you side dishes that are delish, I really enjoyed this place and wish I lived closer to here!The service was outstanding even on a very busy night.“

“Quality does not come cheap but if you appreciate a very good meal that is large enough for something the next day as well, then this is your place. I purchased the exceptional crispy fries covered with sauce and my choice of meat that made me look forward to leftovers. Every time we are back in town to visit family Blakes Place is at the top of our list.“

“Really enjoyed this restaurant! It had big portions, great service and fantastic food! Got their garlic chicken and it did not disappoint!! Took about 10 minutes from ordering to getting our food. Lots of outdoor seating but it’s still very nice and they bring their food to you. Would definitely go back!“

“It's been a while since I visited Yakiya, but the memories of that fantastic dining experience still linger. From the moment we arrived, we were promptly seated, a testament to their efficiency. I was particularly impressed with how quickly the staff ensured tables were cleaned between plates. The kitchen team deserves special mention too, as they kept the scrumptious dishes coming without any unnecessary delay.The star of the evening was, of course, the meat. Each cut was not only delicious but also richly flavored, a testament to their meticulous preparation. The presentation was nothing short of artistic, a feast for the eyes as much as for the palate.While the essence of the dishes was deeply rooted in Japanese culinary traditions, I was pleasantly surprised by the subtle touches of Korean fusion in some. It added an unexpected, yet delightful twist.“

“This place was great. Took the family for lunch and ordered alot!!! The server was gracious and patient with us . I like to order dessert before the meal and she did it after a little shock wore off so did the grans. The cook plate exchange was never too late and the fire wasn't turned down after I turned it up?. It was so good that even after the gratuity was added into the bill I left our server and additional tip. I would go there again.“

“The noodle dishes were very good! We had a largish group, so we tried the first three soups on the menu and a couple of the dry noodle dishes, which were all Delicious. The chicken skewers were all bone and not worth the trouble of eating. The lamb skewers were tasty but greasy. I liked the cumin-heavy seasoning a lot.“

“Great coming back to our new fave KBBQ spot. Prefer it much more than Gen. Love the “butcher style” vibes and how they cook for you. Great cuts of meat!!! Gio, Calvin, Devin were great hosts. Super consistent across diff locations. Highly recommend this place.“

“I have loved this place for 20 years. While some things have changed, it’s still the great quality & delicious wok I remember from my first time. This place is fantastic & even though I no longer live nearby, I still make time to eat here every time I’m in the area.Amazing noodles, great service, worth it.“

“I was here for a private event and wow the food was delicious! The appetizers were the deviled eggs, candied bacon and burnt ends ?oh my so good!! The dinner buffet was delicious as well? Great atmosphere for a private event. Highly recommend. Also highly recommend the Kixi-Strawberry “

“OMG!!!! So delicious.... My husband and I had the hungry faka plate to share and that plate could have fed 3-4 people. Everything was perfectly cooked and so yummy. The service was amazing definitely with aloha. If your in there area definitely worth checking out. It's like a food court of different food ethics. But easy to find. We definitely would return. Pictures only say so much too.“

“This place is all and more! It is a place that takes you back in the old days! The atmosphere is so melancholic…The food was so delicious! We had mici-kebob style meat with the spicy potatoes and mashed potatoes. Everything was so so so good!There is also a store with so many international goodies!!This place is one you don’t want to skip! Go try it!“

“The food is pretty good, not the best pho though. Love that they have a Mongolian BBQ here. The service is good. The prices were ok. Maybe the portion of pho was a bit small although I haven't had pho in about a year so maybe it's changed everywhere.“

“Excellent service and great food! Had made a reservation for a large party, greeted us by name and tables were prepared with side dishes when we arrived. Waiter went above and beyond, was attentive and accommodating. Great quality food as well!“

“I had the pulled pork nachos and chili, both were top notch. The chili was spicy excellent flavor.April 7, 2024This time I had the spare ribs. Highest grade on all of flavor and product quality and preparation.Parking: Parking shouldn't be a problem but during weekday lunch hours parking can be a challenge.Kid-friendliness: Bench seating for perhaps 25.“

“The food is good and I recommend to go here with friends cause the food portions are pretty big. They also serve ice cream after, and the waiters/waitresses are very kind. One thing to keep in mind is that you're not allowed to bring outside drinks/food. The interior has a rusty yet cozy feel to it, and they play K-pop music on speakers even though it isn't that audible. This place is still enjoyable though.“

“The food was BOMB. I got the chicken and fries and it was so good dipped in their secret sauce. I had to ask for another sauce to go as well since there was so much inside one box. Theyre also the sweetest family. Definitely going back for more!!“

“Our favorite family spot for birthdays and other special occasions, like being mesmerized d by the delightful scent escaping from the smoky meats. Side dishes are always excellent, try the loaded baked potato. Great selection of cocktails, beer & wine.“

“This place is SO good! Listen, I'm personally a bone-in wing gal and usually ignore tenders... But the seasoning on these tendies is so so so good, I jokingly asked if they sold the seasoning, which to my surprise, they did! (Best bet I got some to go!?) The dips are good, the Jaxon Cajun was my personal favorite - spicy but not too spicy, just right. My partner got the scorpion pepper dipping sauce and it was SPICY! He loved it and also bought a bottle of it to take home.Aside from the amazing food, they have really great beers on tap. We had a few west coast IPAs and Hazy IPAs and they did not disappoint. The guys who run the brewery side were so kind and generous with the samples.Overall the service was just fantastic and the great food only made the experience that much better. 11/10 recommend and we will be coming back for sure.Edit: I went 3/3/24 around 2:30/3pm- shout out to the amazing staff!!I got spicy tenders and they were just right for spicy lovers. My partner got the Hot tenders and they were spicy to his liking as an avid super spicy food eater.“

“We love Cham Sut Gol. The people are so nice!!!!! The quality of the beef was so nice and the bonchon were flavorful and they were always ready to refill it. Our eyes were hungrier than our bellies so we took quite a long time finishing dinner but the people never rushed us out. We will be coming back next time we need a kbbq fix.“

“I had the brisket sandwich, and my wife had the iceberg wedge.I had the brisket at the suggestion of the cashier/waitress, and I was not disappointed. I can't remember eating a more tender brisket anywhere. I usually shy away from brisket when I eat out because it's usually tough, not very tender. I'm so glad I tried it.My wife had the iceberg wedge. It did not look like your typical wedge salad. This thing was like a boat of flavorful toppings. Bleu cheese crumbles, bacon bits, even the cherry tomatoes on it were good.I definitely recommend traveling here to eat, even if it's out of your way.“

“Queenie is the best! Came from the Bay Area heading to LA and gave this place a try. The shrimp roll is yum pho flavor vibes, and the lobster roll delicious! Also had the cucumber salad was amazing, including the sauce! Queenie was so sweet and made sure to check about my allergies! Overall, everything was great! Service to the food to the atmosphere! Will stop by next trip.Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options.“

“A hidden gem in Diamond Bar!!! And they actually open until 10pm. For Diamond Bar standards that's pretty late. We love Tofu Bean - Diamond Bar. This Tofu Bean is owned by the same great owner of the Tofu Bean of Rowland Heights. Their Banchan (side dishes) are the best. The potato side dish and kimchi are my favorites. When you order a combination, the tofu soup is the same size as the regular tofu soup orders. Check them out - I highly recommend.“

“Very clean and the food is so delicious for such a low price, I 101% recommend coming here with friends or family!Vegetarian options: Has a lot of veggies.Kid-friendliness: If your child is picky and doesn’t want to eat the noodles, you can get them other items like fries, chicken wings/bites, mozzarella sticks, or dumplings!“

“The most authentic Hawaii experience you can find outside of Hawaii! Not only was the storefront decorated with Hawaii themed memorabilia that made me feel at home but the service and food was A+We ordered two spam musubi ( a Hawaii classic) the Teri Mix Plate and Seafood Mix Plate.First off, everything is made to order NO food is sitting around and the food is FRESH!All the food was excellent and had amazing flavor reminding me of home! The spam musubi and Mac salad were amazing and it felt like I was still in Hawaii!I 1000% recommend this restaurant and you should definitely stop by when coming to Disneyland!P.S. We would have taken pictures but we ate the food too quickly it was that delicious!Thank you again Aunty Cheryl for all the kindness and great service!“

“Got to try a little bit of everything except stuff they have coming soon or ran out of which was the pork belly siu yuk and gochujang beef rib. Delish and worth the wait, but I'd come earlier since it took us 2.5 hrs from arrival to eating after getting there at 11:55am Sunday! Heads up - pork belly char siu is on the fattier side and brisket is on the leaner side but great flavor. Panang curry is spicier and saltier than I'd prefer, and mapo chili isn't that spicy. Kaya bread pudding and banana pudding had good flavor. I also appreciated than the chicken wasn't dry, and the slaw was dairy free and flavorful. Favorite meats were probably brisket and ribs since we couldn't get the pork belly siu yuk or gochujang beef rib today.Service and staff are really friendly, and the pit master was overwhelmed with emotions filming how long the line was before they opened since this is just the second weekend. I'm sure they'll continue to get busier after the social media videos and LA Eater article.“

“We're from Chicago and was staying at a hotel nearby. We ordered pork bbq and bulgogi, both were excellent choices. It's great to have both available to order from the same store. My only wish is if they could add noodles to their menu like japchae or pancit.“

“WALKED IN HERE FOR LUNCH WITH A FEW COWORKERS FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE WERE GREETED THE MINUTE WE WALKED IN. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE THE FOOD WAS AWSOME ALL MY COWORKERS INCLUDING MYSELF ATE EVERYTHING OFF OUR PLATES. ? WE WILL BE BACK TO TRY THERE DAILY DRINK SPECIALS ?“

“Yesterday was Good Friday. My family and I had originally planned to go have dinner at Grab Crab, but the wait was outrageously long. I believe that when I checked in, we had 18 people ahead of us. So, instead, we decided to go Sosom Ramen Bar & Bossam. Luckily, when we got here, it was nice and empty. We got seated right away, and the order was taken really quickly. This was our second time coming to this place. The first time we came, I dont remember much, but we decided to come back anyway. This round was much rememberable. The waiter was on top of everything, making sure we had refills on our water and gave us extra sides. He checked up on us multiple times to see if we needed anything else. Honestly, the food was just perfect. Like 10 min into our dinner, the restaurant started to fill up. The vibe with the customer everyone enjoyed their food. If you want to try Bossam, this is going to place. I don't think they will let you down. Meat is super tender, and the sauce is yummy. Just writing this makes my mouth water.“

“Always amazing food, my kids and wife enjoy the chicken bowels with no skin on the chicken. Even when it looks busy the wait isn’t long at all. I would highly recommend trying this spot when you’re in the mood for a chicken and rice bowel. They also offer egg rolls that taste amazing.Thank you“

“I always have a fantastic time here even at general admission. This time around I upgraded our tickets to VIP and it didn't disappoint, it was my son's Bday and he had a blast. The House of Blues staff was awesome Julius the manager was great! Thank you, House of Blues for a great memorable time.“

“Excellent quality for the AYCE price! Everything was delicious from the salad to the beef brisket to the shrimp.If you are super lucky, you will get Emma as your server. She remembered all of our orders and was super friendly and nice. Reminder to tip well for terrific service! Emma made our family dinner even more fun and memorable!“

“Hi BBQ is a solid choice for a teriyaki plate. I especially enjoy their combo lunches with a 4 pc sushi roll and salad. Don't expect much as far as ambiance is concerned since it's a converted hamburger stand A frame building. Service is always good and food is fresh. I'll be back.“

“Came in to cater for a family gathering. First of, everyone who helped with our questions and order were extremely friendly and helpful. Special thanks to the main cook, Jolo, for accommodating us with everything we asked for. The food was to die for and we received so many compliments and inquiries about the food from our party. It was our first time catering but it definitely won't be our last. Again, thank you to everyone at Tony's BBQ!“

“It was such a great date night or friends night out. They have 2 different menus to choose from with a ton of different options for meats and sides. Didn't have a long wait for a friday night. Not much parking though. Had to park in an adjacent parking lot and walk over.“

“Chose this place without expectation after hours of play time at Kid's Empire, an indoor playground nearby. We were tired and hungry and ready to grub. Guess what? THE FOOD WAS BOMB!!!My son and I shared the CHICKEN COMBO -Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki with rice and macaroni salad. Huge portion. Chicken was cooked perfectly and Mac salad was on point! I'd order it again.My husband enjoyed his SEAFOOD PLATTER -Fried Shrimp, fried fish with rice mac salad. Huge portion too. They also had boba drinks. We tried the mango slush with Boba and was a little sweet for my liking but still good.Customer service was great! The young girl who took out order was nice and helpful and the older lady who maybe the owner was really nice and offered us water and check on us making sure we were okay.Will be back if we are in the area.“

“A hidden gem within the Puente Hills Mall..The customer service was immaculate! If your on a time budget and trying to grab something quick and comforting..THIS IS IT!! We ordered the Katsu Chicken Plate..please note this is a huge plate!! It accompanied steam rice, Mac Salad and veggies. I also ordered the BBQ chicken bowl w/rice and veggies. Food was definitely a hit!! Although the ambience was a bit dark and wish they were seen more!!“

“I have a meatloaf issue...the issue is that I love meatloaf. I saw that they have a meatloaf sandwich. I went there and they did have a meatloaf sandwich. It was sublime! Handmade, juicy, bursting with flavor meatloaf In between perfectly toasted bread was the experience. They have some savory house made BBQ sauce and large portions. Good stuff.“

“Don’t order the grilled chicken! ! ! The skewers are all delicious, the beef and mutton are grilled with the aroma of fat, the New Orleans flavor is full, and the tinfoil series are also great. The chicken is cold when it comes out, and the taste is amazing.“

“Had the BBQ chicken breast w/the roasted broccoli & smash sweet potatoes. The chicken was very moist. The roasted broccoli however was burned & looked like charcoal briquettes. Sent it back for steamed broccoli which was ok. However our server was Earl and hope that you are seated in his section. Over the top in service and he brought a nice ice cream treat for a birthday celebration. Great job Earl !“

“Small, authentic Korean restaurant located in the corner of a moderate-sized plaza next to Island Tan and Izakaya Takasei. They don't have a lot of parking right in front of their restaurant but there's ample parking available in the adjoining lots.Service was relatively quick and friendly and their banchan (small side dishes like kimchi, fish cakes, bean sprouts, etc) were delicious with free refills. Thought their prices were on the higher end but I'm glad that atleast their portions are good. Was also surprised that they do not offer any alcoholic beverages here! Was totally craving a nice beer to pair with my bibimbap!“

“Absolutely delicious, enough for me to come into help and leave a review. IMO, it gave me a little touch of Hawaii without actually being in there... because unfortunately we can't book an island vacation with bills looming around the corner if you know what I mean . (I ordered a loco moco plate and a musubi)“

“The Hainan chicken rice combo set for 2-3 people is a must-get. The chicken is smooth and juicy, with skin, no bones. It comes with chicken broth, marinated cucumbers, spiced peanuts, chicken broth rice, and two condiments (ginger scallion oil and a sour sweet chili sauce). I also like the potato noodle soup. The soup includes quail eggs, small meatballs tofu skins, kelp noodles, and baby bok choy.“

“I was fortunate enough to meet with the owner Tony and he is a really, really nice man. The food is excellent. I love Filipino bbq and Java rice and their 3 pc pork bbq meal did not disappoint. The sauce of course is the best. I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend Tony's BBQ. Shout out to all the workers here, very friendly and top notch service .“

“I go to a lot of Filipino spots and this hands down is one of the best. You must try their pork barbecue skewers! Rich in flavor and juicy! I wish I could eat here everyday, but I would get too fat. Anyway their West Covina location takes about 40 mins on busy days to finish the order, it took about 15-20. It's always worth the wait, just plan ahead of time. Great Filipino hospitality.“

“So I went for a breakfast before enjoying some bday festivities, wanted to eat before having some drinks. It appears they had an event so no breakfast was to be served that day. I did tell the bartender that I was only there for the breakfast. I was upset but then the bartender checked with the cook and he made me the breakfast I wanted which was the country fried steak. It was pretty damn delicious, some sort of sausage in the gravy plus the potatoes and veggies were good. Sure was worth the price for that meal. Will be back again for some breakfast, much appreciated ???“
