“Stumbled across this gem. If you're in the San Diego area, I highly recommend. The food was great and so was the service. Ribs and pulled pork were my favorite. Sides were delicious too. Mac, baked beans, and slaw were all good. The corn bread is the best I've ever had. Spacious place to hang out with friends.“
“We just stopped by for a beer and Hailey was super helpful with the selection they had! Gave us a round and made us feel like it was our own neighborhood bar. Hard to find these days. Definitely coming back for the service and the slow braised brisket chili!“
“Great little tucked away place with good food for the price. Service from Alejandro was great. Took the time to chat and fill our drinks.Brisket was good and all the sides were good. Try the mashed potatoes. The Turkey was good and had a smokey taste. Will come again.“
“Fantastic BBQ. The best I've had outside of Texas.There's a line and they sell out so get there early.On a Saturday, we showed up at about 540 and by the time we got to order they had run out of the pork spare ribs.We did get just about everything else and it was fantastic.The sauces were great too. Also don't forget the sides! We got the potato salad and had to go back and get more because it was so good. We will definitely be going back again!“
“I was drawn there because of the 5☆ reviews and who dosen't like a good barbecue, but the food was mediocre. The sauce was average, coleslaw meh, and the beans not bad. Now the onion rings is why I went, but I was disappointed to much batter not crispy like a good onion ring should be. The fries, oh yeah. The service was amazing and the price for portion was ok, still a bit pricey.Beware the birthday song“
“It's such a special experience,Coleslaw's excellent I had the pork ribs excellent-$22, cornbread $6 excellent , potato salad excellent, The vibe in the back patio is fantastic, they've got it set up so it's just ultra cool in the back, Go with a group of people it's even better , there's plenty of cozy tables that have their own little area, there's art on the walls, and then plenty of tables in the center to sit in the back and then there's a big fireplace and then in the very back is a big cigar lounge and then the owners hang out in the back and they're super fun.“
“This place was a pleasant surprise for me. The food was very delicious and we came on a great day where it was cold and rainy outside.It look a little but longer than usual to receive the food and bill, but the taste of the food, friendly service, and great atmosphere made up for that x 10. I wish I lived closer to keep eating here!“
“Wood Ranch is a little pricey, but it is well worth it. All meals come with complimentary garlic rolls, and they are delicious! I ordered the lunch special, which came with 2 sliders, a soup or salad, and a side. It was a large amount of food, and everything tasted amazing! I highly recommend the Western Tri Tip.“
“I love manna. It's my preferred kbbq spot. I love all the sides and salads and additional options. I love their table set up and how efficient the service is. It's seriously always a good time. I went last night for the 100th time and it was just as great. Jason was our server and he seriously crushed it. He was always around to get us another side, napkin, water - whatever we needed. Not to mention the music they play in there is a serious vibe for girlies who do the little dance when you start eating. It's a real vibe and as always - I'll definitely be back.“
“Do you like to eat intestines? This is the go to place for some of the best mouthwatering tasty intestines you will ever find! They specialize in intestines and offer 4 different types: small, large, abomasum and tripe.They do have other cuts of meats as well and they are all very tasteful. But if you love intestines this is the usual go to. Besides bbq they do offer other selection of food: tofu soups, rice dishes, jjajjamyun, and appetizersThey are not AYCE. They have different order option and the quality and quantity is very great so!Plz do keep in mind the meat quality is that greater than any AYCE which is why price is a little on the higher end but very well worth it.Every bbq order comes with corn cheese, kimchi stew, side dishes and salad. They do offer a great selection of dipping sauces for your meat don't be afraid to ask. I recommend vinegar on the side for your intestines.Service is always great and fast. They come around and moved around and cook the meat for you which is nice.“
“The service at a stellar 20/10! Angela and Vittorio took care of us, creating a homely atmosphere. The place itself feels so cozyThe food adventure began with the steak tartare and bone marrow. The tartare was fantastic, but the bone marrow portion left us wanting more.For the main course, we got the perfectly grilled ribeye with organic veggies and chimichurri. The bison burger, while good, could benefit from a more pronounced pistachio pesto flavor.Despite our fill bellies, Angela surprised us with a slice of limoncello cake. It was a burst of freshness, perfectly balancing sweetness. A delightful end to an exceptional dining experience!“
“This place is one of my favorites in the list of hotpots. I have never tried their bbq because I have a favorite place for that but the hotpot is great and the options are as well. Totally recommended. It is a ayce. What else can you ask for?! You won't regret this place, and you'll totally come back.“
“The food quality and the staff's service are top notch. However, the pricing is way off. After spending $150 on two people I was hungry so went to H Mark down the street and got a pastry. I also ate a spare jerky that was left in my car. The tea was delicious as well.Next time, I'll probably go to the Korean BBQ in the same shopping center and the two of us will eat and be full for 1/3 the price.“
“Maybe just short of 4 stars, but 3.75 stars wasn't an option.Food was mostly decent. But, it was (maybe?) a bit old (crusty mac and cheese, dried out chicken wings). But, perhaps that's my fault for not getting there at noon (when they open, and everything is fresh).Tri tip (they cook it well done) was good. Sausage and ribs were good. Pulled pork was so-so. Potato salad and baked beans were quite good. Coleslaw was disappointing.It's the closest BBQ spot to where I live. So, I might try coming earlier next time. But, I might not give it another shot so late in the day.“

“"Holy cow, y'all! We walked into this place thinking we'd stick out like a redneck at a wine tasting, but boy were we wrong! The food was so good, I'll be serving up a plate of humble pie on my pride platter! That half salad? Gigantic! Like, 'how many heads of lettuce did they sacrifice for this?' gigantic. And the chef? A real sweetheart! I asked for some tweaks and they were like, 'Girl, I gotchu!' Like, they actually got me.My waitress, Alexandria B, was the real MVP! She hooked me up with the extra goodies I needed and gave me the biggest smile. Don't tell my hubby, but she made me feel like we were on our first date again... minus the awkward small talk and overwhelming fear of rejection ?. The kiddos devoured the onion rings and fries like they were fresh out of my own kitchen (wink).If the owners see this, give Alexandria a raise... and a trophy... and a parade in her honor! She's the real deal! Ask for her by name and get ready for a culinary dream come true... or at least a good laugh and a full belly ?."Vegetarian options: A few options are absolutely for vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: They will try to work around any type of dietary issues. Let them know ahead .Kid-friendliness: This is a bbq restaurant but also a bar. So be rewarded that your children will be around drinking.Wheelchair accessibility: "I just want to rave about this restaurant ! They have a sign saying they'll help handicapped individuals, and boy do they deliver! I suggest to call ahead and to let them know about your needs and the staff will help. They will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I can't recommend them enough!"“
“Get the Marinated Beef Short Rib ! TRUST ME ! Came here when we were going through convoy looking for something to eat. I remembered my buddy recommended this place and thought I should give it a try. Came in and was greeted with hospitality which was always a plus because I felt welcomed. Our server Nate was recommending us items on the menu. All in all we tried the Beef marinated short rib, beef bulgolgi, spicy chicken, beef fingers, short rib steak, shrimp and a ribeye steak. Also we had cheese corn as an appetizers and it was fabulous. The prices here were more reasonable than other Korean BBq spots which is always a plus. Definitely coming back and getting double the beef marinated short rib ?“
“For my third times ordering a lechon here in USA this is my first time that I can say “the best lechon” taste like Cebu lechon very juicy too . Affordable price . I ordered last week and all the visitors asking where I got the lechon. Next time again !“
“I’ve been to Shabumi two times now, once to try the KBBQ option and the other time to try the hotpot option. Both times I went during lunch time so there wasn’t a wait, though it might be a different story if I went during the busy dinner hours. Because it was lunch time, the price was pretty reasonable, not sure how I’d feel paying for the dinner prices though.I really like that each person can choose between one or the other, that the table doesn’t have to choose just one. I also really liked that it’s individual grill/pot so you can individually choose ingredients/spice level.For KBBQ, I ordered the chuck eye steak, beef belly, beef bulgogi, and galbi. My favorite from these are the belly and bulgogi. You can order three meats at a time and they’re pretty quick with bringing out orders.For hot pot, I ordered black Angus chuck tender, prime chuck eye, beefy belly, and brisket point. The meat was pretty good quality and looked/tasted fresh. My friends and I chose the chicken soup base since it was the recommended one with the most flavor. I wish they offered a spicy soup base, but you’re able to make your own sauce at the bar.The salad bar was packed with lots of choices for noodles, seafood, vegetables, and other sides to add to your pot. I really liked the Japchae for their side dish too.Service was quick and the servers were attentive both times.Overall, I’d come back here again for lunch time.Parking: The restaurant shares a parking lot with Target and other restaurants. There’s plenty of parking, depending on what time of the day you go“
“This place has just become number 1 in my list. We go to so many different places in a regular week and the meat at this place is so delicious, they deserve like 10 stars. Plus the charcoal BBQ is another game. Best dinner of the month so far. People working were also super nice and attentive. The local was clean and the atmosphere and music is good. I'm definitely looking forward to come back soon. Good job team!Edit to add:I was here yesterday again. Only two days after the first time and again I can o ly say that it is going to be incredibly difficult to find another Korean bbq that can top this one. I shouldn't say this much because the wait might get even longer but to be honest it is realllyyyy good and I can't get enough. I'll be back in another 2 days.“
“Korean barbecues are interesting used to go to one over in the Island of Oahu with my wife it was fun they had some type of a chicken that was amazing have been for a long time this place is a good check out I try it if I was you God bless you and have a great “
“The food was GREAT! We went around lunch time on a weekday and it was picking up. I also got the biegnets and they were light and soft on the inside, crispy and sugary on the outside. The etouffee, gumbo and red beans and rice is what we had and all of the food was flavorful and hot from the kitchen. We saw a lot of people ordering the baskets and they looked really good. We are going back to try those soon.“
“Service was good. Prices were reasonable. Decor was fun. My teriyaki chicken with rice was good. My daughter ate all of her chicken teriyaki bowl. My wife’s teriyaki steak was burnt, though. We sent it back (they actually just left the first one at our table). The second one was almost as bad. The server noticed and took that dish off of our bill without us asking (which was nice). Stay away from the steak and you’ll be fine. We would go back, so please don’t take this as a negative review.“
“Really cool little spot. With very reasonable prices. We got three different items and they were all great. We got a couple different stuffed buns that they have and they were both very good and we also got some pork and that was amazing as well. The ladies that work there are all very friendly and you’re in and out of there quick because it’s like a cafeteria style line.“
“Located on the side of Liberty Public Market in the beer hall area is BOPJO. I got the veggie bibimbap bowl. Huge portion and so delicious. The only thing I'd change is the amount of sauce. The rice at the bottom needed more sauce as I worked my way down. The service was super fast. And I will definitely try more items next time!“
“This is my go to Korean BBQ. I like the freedom to choose what I want to eat without restrictions or waiting for the server just to eat. No alcohol but that doesn't bother me.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but it's too pricey to go there for that.“
“Attending a mixer function hosted by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.It was okay. I did try their whisky!First time for me. I learn from other people that the fermentation process can last couple years and not gone bad.Personally I can't say much of their products being it's my first time tasting it. I want to try it, cuz the night was freezing and I need some alcohol to get me warmer. LolThe parking was a b****. Luckily when I arrived there were two spots left!!! HehheheheI didn't try their food. Or was the food stands theirs?! No clue.“
“My parents use to work here way, way ,WAY back in the day when it was owned by the Jensen's. This is one of the few things I do miss about California. Whenever I'm back in Southern California, I always make sure to stop in. Great food, great atmosphere. All around, a definite must.“
“Our bartender really wanted to find drinks we would enjoy. She made me a wonderful drink called the white girl which I am and it was delicious. This is the oldest bar in san diego. Check it out beautiful bar back and lots of memorabilia. Walk onto history and just soak up all those who came before you.“
“Literally everything I have eaten is 10/10, the attention, the image of the place you literally feel like you are eating in Korea, I haven't eaten a taste of that style of authentic Korean food in years, and the beer uff very good the kass and a very good price ?? and the snow macaroni is another level, and I recommend that you order galbi de rib“
“The food was very great and very flavorful in comparison to a KBBQ place. The server we had was super nice and eligible about any questions that we had he was very great at attending us a little there were periods where no one would come to check on us at all. Overall it was very good but a little pricey. I would recommend this place.Parking: Location is right by Trader Joe’s so parking situation can be tricky has many people are shopping at Trader Joe’s“
“Delicious! This place has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. The tri tip sandwich and brisket sandwich were delicious! The meat was so tender. Potato salad was a winner. Green beans were too salty. Plain fries were another hit! The loaded fries were too much for me... plus they have a great drink menu. Sauces were underwhelming - they had a strong vinegar taste. However, the sandwich didn't need any more sauce! Beyond delicious as is. Also, I haven't found a restaurant to serve Not Your Fathers Root Beer until now! Service was polite, friendly, and prompt. This restaurant is family friendly. It's a great, casual, atmosphere that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. There are heaters, fun old school music playing in the faint background, and fun Disney references sprinkled in the decor! I'll be back :)“
“Nice lamb mixiote and lamb barbacoa served here by the kilo, or in tacos. I am partial to the mixiote, but would recommend the "Taco Suave de Barbacoa" if you wanted a bite-size sampler of what this humble but high-quality operation is capable of. Omar S.'s review has all the in-depth detail you need, and you should read it.“
“The food is delicious today I had the Tri tip sandwich with creamy horseradish and pickled onions ???????????? come and you have to try this ???Parking: Next to manolos marketKid-friendliness: They always are polite and great customer serviceWheelchair accessibility: Big parking lot and 4 handicap parking spot“
“We love Korean Bbq!. Love this location. It's so much more open than their other location in Chula Vista. The vents are amazing that you barely smell any smoke. You never leave smelling like Korean bbq. The service was excellent. The kids loved the robots. We will definitely be back“
“Oh my God! It tastes like Christmas at grandmas house in Georgia. THIS is what I’ve been looking for. I’m new from the east coast & soul food is hard to come by in this city. I had the catfish, greens & beans, unfortunately they were out of Mac n cheese, but judging by the catfish & greens I already know the Mac b cheese will not disappoint. I’ll be back every weekend for sure.“
“It's a hidden gem. It's a mom and pop shop, it's absolutely delicious! My friend was telling me about this location and I decided to go before they close. I got some of the noodles, sausages, bread and beef as well as two canned sodas (I don't know the exact name of some of the dishes because I kind of just took whatever they had left) such great portions and I will 100% be back so I can see what else they have. I spent less than $40“
“First time here, no wait in line. Ribs are fall off the rib, and super yummy. Also grab the Mac and Cheese. Super friendly staff asking how we were when we got there and while we were eating. It’s clean and lots of space to move around. Definitely try it out.“
