They offer a great variety of meats, and the freshness of the cuts is definitely a highlight. However, the portions for each dish seem quite large. This can be a bit daunting, especially if you want to try a few different options from the menu, as leftover food often comes at an additional cost. Despite this, the atmosphere is very family-friendly, and the service was excellent.

Don’t eat the pork jowls. They have that pork smell that is hard to eat. Never in my life have I eaten jowls that were like this.The service was bad as well. The servers don’t look at the tables and take a very long time to order.

When I come down South to visit my friend, he always recommends this place, and it never disappoints. I told him I have no problem eating here every time I visit.

The food is really salty. We ordered 5 different meat. 3/5 come out over marinated, it taste over sweet and salty. 2/5 of meat not salt because they are just raw meat, did not marinated at all. The service is just average. The scissor is not sharp. It’s not what I’ll excepted to get for 35.99 per person.

Kavian is the best server. Keep our drinks filled and make sure the next order is ready before we even finish the first order. Especially keeping that brisket sauce filled for us.

I give it a ⭐️ very bad service, it was my first time and I never plan to return... the meat they were giving me was very low quality!! Many very small pieces...like they gave me leftover cuts...the waiter gave us very bad service...we asked him for meat or rice and he ignored us!! It only took us 2 times!! Then I asked for more meat and rice ? and I never took it.!! They should pay attention to that.!! Or maybe they serve you because of race ?because I'm Mexican because that's why I didn't have good service????

Delicious food. Loved all those side dishes. Fantastic staff!
Superior meat quality, fresh ingredients overall, fast service, and convenient location made it a great AYCE K-BBQ experience for my family. When we are in the area, we will definitely come back.

Overall:Not a horrible experience but I would choose Gen, a similar restaurant nearby for better menu options, better service and much better sauces at a lower price.Details:The atmosphere here is pretty nice for an all-you-eat restaurant at a great location in Irvine, right behind 99-Ranch market and across from the sister restaurant, All That Shabu (Same owners). I spend about 85 for two adults and no drinks (including tip).You get salad, kimchi, rice paper, cucumbers, potato salad and picked radish before you are even seated which was nice. You can order 4 meats at a time and the portions are pretty large, at times I had to request smaller portions. Started out with Rib Eye and fillet, not anticipate a 3/4” thick steak which took forever to cook on that grill. since the staff kept turning the grill down, the steak ended up cooking longer to get a sear on both sides and went past medium rare which is a shame. The fillet was even thicker and had the same issue. Spicy brisket, regular brisket, bulgogi and beef belly were the best meats I tried and meat quality was pretty high.Unfortunately, the sauces were not as tasty or flavorful as other similar restaurants and no spicy option such as garlic chili sauce. I almost thought I had lost my taste buds as everything tasted bland.The wait staff seemed nice but that was the worst part of the experience. The only time he visited our table was if I flagged him down after walking past us several times (the entire night). He always rushed us and didn’t wait long enough for us to speak. I had to ask for rice, rice paper and kimchi several times and it didn’t arrive for about 10 minutes after my request. I also had to request someone to change my grill since bulgogi and spicy brisket make a huge mess and leave a lot of residue.The menu was also very limited. No Veggies or other options beyond sliced meats.
All you can eat, but no ice cream, no dessert , no soda or soft drinks, the lunch menu kinda boring , enen dinner menu, not much difference... not much choices,all meat, all taste the same ~ not thing special ~ so sooner we ate a few places meats, feel tired for it, lost interesting~ (I saw next table 6 of them are the same too~) fire is very small, cook very slow,the sauce is not good either, even our favorite bugogi beef it's not that good in here too. For little kids there is not much for them to eat, only rice and meat.no noddles, no veggies ( only cold salad ) no macaroni or kid's menu, 9 years old little girl charge $27.99 for my daughter she is 9 years old, only ate 10-15 thin pic beef belly, my son eat like 5 pic of beef, looking for something else, but there is not much choices, not worth it.my kids were hungry and ask me, if they have noodles or something else other than meat, there is only one steam egg my youngest daughter has it, that it~ the tofu soup are spicy, they can't even have it, one of the soup I don't remember what that call,, super Super salty....I'm still feel thirsty till now.So sad 2 adults 3 kids $100+ tips and tax I don't even know what I'm eating, in fact I might cook better bugogi beef at home.Only good thing for me to remember is their workers are nice and friendly. For the food Only tofu soup is good. Beef belly is good quality.If you like ice cream or dessert, and soft drinks, no need to come, if you have little kids only like to eat meat and rice, you can go~ We won't return to this BBQ again!
