Sauce, they don't give sesame oil
Andrew W.

Service is extremely absent. Matt turned the fire on the lowest setting at the start and never came back. Make sure you know what you want from the beginning, because it's likely the only time they will see you. The meat quality is not good, so it's better to order marinated meats to cover that. Avoid popular, un marinated cuts because they are the worst. We had it rough because the low heat stewed the thicker meat into a chewing exercise.

Beef belly
Liz B.

A solid ayce Korean bbq spot that offers a variety of meats and side dishes! My standard go to orders are the beef brisket and beef belly (pro tip: combine both on the grill for a perfect balance of fatty and lean meat). I especially liked the cilantro banchan, which is not something I've commonly seen in other kbbq restaurants. I also enjoyed the honey rice cakes, grilling them gave a nice crunchy and chewy textured. Dinner prices were expensive but comparable to other ones in the area. Service was quick and the grills were changed frequently. Overall the spot has great vibes and is a staple spot for kbbq.

Menu 4/1/26
Diana R.

I've been to All That Barbecue a number of times. We came on a Wednesday evening recently. Check in with the tablet next to the hostess area. The wait time was about 25 minutes for our group of four. Through Yelp, it will tell you what place you are in line to be seated. We had enough time to go next-door to buy some snacks at 99 Ranch market. We were seated in a booth near a corner. Unfortunately, our grill had a low flame and it took forever for our meats to cook. A couple of the staff tried to fix it but it sounded like that particular grill was problematic. This made it for a longer outing for sure. Good thing not all of us were hangry. We appreciated how the staff assisted all of the tables as one team so that we didn't have to rely on one staff member. They helped move things smoothly. Everyone was nice and provided friendly service despite it being busy during the dinner rush. There are no tiers of meat items like other restaurants. That's what I like about this place. We enjoyed the brisket, beef and pork belly, filet, rib meat and baby octopus. The tofu soup is decent with just enough spice for me. The banchan side dishes were not that great though. The kimchi tasted old on its last day before it gets tossed in fried rice or soup. What's up with the chopped cilantro with dressing as a side dish? Don't get me wrong, I love cilantro, but not just by itself with some sauce doused on it. We will be back when we need a local KBBQ place.

Still the best around. They added some new steak options that are incredible! We ordered Fillet and got two baseball steaks to grill. The meat was very tender. This place is all inclusive, you pay for dinner and you get everything. There are no top tiers, which I do not like. You get the best meats! Everyone wins. Highly recommended.

Finally a quality AYCE KBBQ place in Irvine! :') Visited for the first time in so many years. Solid banchan, yummy salad, and good service. I came here for a weekday lunch and the place was pretty empty. Clean and spacious. Servers are nice and attentive, and they bring the food out pretty quickly after you order. The brisket and pork belly are nice and thin, just the right amount of fatty too. You get a choice of a small plate or a large plate, and the large is more than enough for a party of 4. We especially liked the seasoned boneless rib meat (Don't Rib Me Off) - super flavorful and tender! The menu item names are cute and unique too lol. Overall, the meat is of good quality here and it's worth the $30/person lunchtime price. Would come again!

Virginia N.

Came here for lunch and was unfortunately so disappointed. We originally wanted to try the $30 lunch price however we wanted galbi and that is only offered on the dinner menu which is a total rip off and does not offer many more options for an extra $10. The meat quality of the galbi was very poor. It was chewy and the marinade did not taste good. Basically everything tasted just okay and had little flavoring. For 3 people it cost about $130 so I wish we'd spend a few extra dollars and go somewhere with better quality meat. The service was okay, kind but we had to flag somebody down when we wanted more meat. The burner was very slow. The restaurant was clean so that's a plus

Sides
Gordon W.

Establishment is clean and comfortable. Staff was very professional and attentive. I've been here many times, though this will be the first review I have posted of my visit. This location is a tried-and-true, wont disappoint. Very standard kBBQ location with great quality. Personally I recommend beef belly or tongue at kBBQ locations. As with other AYCE, try for yourself and see which items you like best. Meat quality is all good. Service is quick and responsive. I recommend finishing your meal with the Winnie the Pooh's snack (rice cake with a side of honey). Put it on the grill to get it soft and chewy, then dip in the honey and enjoy! TLDR: Excellent service, great food, great establishment, good value. Would recommend!

Willie L.

Celebrated birthday for with my kids. The restaurant is busy with lots of sizzling meat cooking. Every table has a grill for each dining party to cook up the meat. The dinner price included ribeye and filet. The dinner menu also had many other cuts. The naming of each item was clever. We polished off many plates of brisket and pork belly. When the restaurant is busy, you will need to be a bit patient with the staff filling the orders.

Lots of food not a fan of the baby octopus or the shrimp
Neluta G.

Get the dinner menu if you go at lunch the quality of the meat and choices of the cuts are better. Filet minion and ribeye are a must. The short ribs were disappointing. Please is understaffed so service was not very good. If you are in the area a must but go hungry because it is a LOT of meat.

The Shrimp Curl
Leonard A.

It's All That and a little bit more if you're looking for an All you can eat Korean BBQ score . You know the drill, throw all those tasty fixings on the grill then wait for that delicious thrill. The service could be great good or decent and this time we got good. After all this is in a really decent hood. The atmosphere can be live and especially on the weekends and that's no jive. They have a nice selection of meats and other things but definitely not chicken wings, LoL. The wait can be long for larger parties so I'm telling you to be prepared don't want you to get frustrated and start to swear. Overall it's a popular place but when it comes to the parking it's kinda hard to find a space. And that's my take on this BBQ place, Peace out

Maria L.

Good deal = weekday lunch price for AYCE at $29.99. We got seated right away and noticed the salad and banchans are already on the table. Salad & kimchi didn't seem that fresh anymore and fish cake was a bit hard so we wondered how long it's been exposed out there. We skipped the side dishes and grilled the meats. The meats were ok: nothing to rave/complain about. We noticed they weren't proactive about changing the grill as well. On our way out, we noticed more empty tables with the side dishes and salad already sitting there... There seems to be a new KBBQ in town every other week that's exciting to try so I'm not sure we'll be returning to this one anytime soon.

Why would you put it open until 11 and close at 9:45

Says they close at 11 got here at 9:45 and said they were closed. Plus the bad looks from the employees were not nice!

Ban Chan
Justin N.

If you're looking for deliciously priced and copious amount of meat, All That is All For You Coworkers and I went here for a nice little dinner, and we had amazing portions alongside the bottles of soju we slurped. I'd recommend starting with the classics, brisket and thinly sliced pork belly before moving to the marinated stuff. Staff was friendly and very attentive, and meats came out quick. Pretty big space inside, but can get pretty packed later at night.

Ask the Community - All That Barbecue - Irvine

What time is last seating?

I plan to host a party for 10. Will there be a table for 10 or at least 5 each seated side by side? Does this restaurant take reservations for a Monday celebration?

They do have large tables for a party of 10. No reservations but you can add your name to the list.

Is this an all you can eat Korean bbq resto?

Yes...all you can eat

What time is last call for food on a week day?

Business hour shows 11 PM, but they do food last call at 9:30 PM when I dined in on Monday night.

Do I need to make a reservation if I want to come at lunch time? And is it open on Labor Day?

U can only rock up to make bookings. And yeah they be open on LD

Is there a waitlist option for today?

What is the average wait time on Saturday during dinner for a party of 10?

Honestly I would say about 1.5-2hrs. I'd definitely recommend sending someone to sign you in ahead of time (they only allow you to check-in in person) and have the rest of the party on standby.… 

Does this menu accommodate vegan?

This is a Korean style BBQ. Meat is everywhere. I suppose you can order the veggies but the vegan would be smack dab in the middle of raw meat, cooked meat and walk out smelling like a meat campfire.

A kk k ? Q do

Ze big poo poo

Max party size?

This place is Big. I believe can accommodate at least 150 people. For the exact number of people, call the restaurant and ask.

I'm going with a large party later in the evening, so I won't be eating. Will they charge me?

Yes, usually any AYCE will charge people based on party number even if you are not eating. Same thing as not being able to choose different menu options at other places- all parties will need to have the same menu option.

Can I bring my pet dog to eat in patio?

Hi, They have outdoor seating area.

Are they closed for good? Tried calling them and the number is disconnected.

No. Ate there last week.

Do you allow single diners for AYCE?

Yes

Do they have wait list on yelp? I don't see any waitlist. Do I need to call?

You have to add yourself in person. Can't do it online.

Are they open for indoor or outdoor dining?

Yes they are.

Is this business still open for sit down ayce dinning during this time In light of the new lockdown ordinances?

They are open for regular indoor dining.

Are there gluten free options?

Meat is gluten free

Are you allow to order half portion? Because I'm worry of no able to finish full portion.

Yes you can order half portions. If there's something you wanna try but not sure if you'll enjoy the full portion, then half portions are a good option.

We had reservations and once everyone was there we were seated at 2 tables. The server set up the iPad and explained how to order from it. In order to get the bogo deal everyone has to order a drink. So we ordered drinks on the iPad and sent the order. Then we started going through the Japanese BBQ items and sushi rolls. We ordered about 6 sushi rolls and 8 meats for round 1. The meats came out quickly. The bulgogi and brisket were enjoyed by everyone. Also pork and beef belly were quite tasty. Soon after the sushi rolls came to the table. We sampled crunchy California rolls, Hawaiian, Alaskan, rainbow, and shrimp rolls. We filled the barbecue with the rest of the meat and dug in. Round 2 was more brisket, bulgogi, pork and beef belly. Until everyone was nearly stuffed. Finished off with some smores and Gelato. Total came to $38 per person, for food, drinks, tax,and tip. A fantastic deal for AYCE Japanese BBQ and sushi. Highly recommend you try this restaurant. We had a good time.

Oh the timing. Just when I finally get this written out to post, it turns out that Frank's BBQ &…read moreNoodles has come and gone. Not that I can say I'm all that surprised in hindsight, but it's still kind of a shame. Mostly because I just wish the food had been better, but also because, despite how impressive the OC food scene is, I hadn't come across any BBQ joints/Cantonese restaurants that SF has so many of until randomly stumbling across this place! Then again, maybe I've just been too distracted by the many Taiwanese options that the Bay Area is so criminally short on... Compared to some of the Chinese BBQ joints that I frequent in the Bay Area, this place felt so much newer and a whole lot cleaner/nicer. That said, while the menu appeared to be a whole lot narrower, they still had a decent selection of offerings to choose from. Along with their nearly twenty different sides/snack dishes, which include items like pig ears with chili sauce, cucumber salad, chicken wings, wontons in chili oil, and tofu skin salad, they also had BBQ meats, like Roasted Duck, Soy Sauce Chicken, and Char Siu, a mix of rice and noodle dishes, and combination plates of their BBQ meats over rice or noodles. Sadly, though, no crispy skin roast pork, which was a huge bummer. -- SWEET FRIED CORN Admittedly, this initially didn't catch my eye, but I'm glad we ended up trying it. Every piece was crispy and I liked how sweet and flavorful the corn was. Plus, it was how this wasn't all that oily, though, I wouldn't have minded a bit more batter for some added crunch. -- WONTONS IN CHILI OIL Not too shabby. Although the skins felt a little overcooked, each piece was fairly plump and I thought the filling was pretty tasty. It was also unexpected to see a bit of broth with the chili oil, but it had a nice flavor to it and just the right amount of spice. -- TWO BBQ ITEM RICE PLATE with Char Siu and Roasted Duck I was the most excited for this, but it left me feeling conflicted. On the plus side, the bowl had a fair amount of both meats and the duck was really good - really juicy and the skin was golden brown. On the other hand, the char siu was super fatty and the rice was mushy. -- DICED GROUND PORK ON RICE...$13.99 More solid than spectacular, but still satisfying enough. Like with the BBQ plate, the meat to rice ratio favored the former and I thought the egg and the veggies complemented this well. At the same time, I wish this had more sauce to it, as the pork look a little dry/pale. In addition to how convenient it was to come here (there was a steady crowd, but it never got packed inside), I appreciated how fast our food came out. Also, I'm not sure if we just got lucky, but it wasn't nearly as hard to find a space in the complex's parking lot as it seemed it would be. Between all of that, the food being decent, and the relatively friendly service, Frank's BBQ & Noodles wasn't bad for some Chinese BBQ. However, it definitely could've been better, especially if Roast Pork had been one of their offerings!

We paid around $150 for all this, a bit pricey for bbq tbh. My favorite meats were the sui yuk, brisket, and sausage. Sui Yuk was crispy and fatty, probably my favorite dish here. Brisket was fall of the bone type of tender. Sausage was pretty good but nothing too crazy. The pork ribs and tri-tip were kind of dry and lacked seasoning. I expected more for the price but it's fine, could've been an off day when we went. I wouldn't order these again. The sides were okay, nothing memorable besides the cornbread. Cornbread was delicious!! Today when we came back we just ordered what we liked the first time, which was brisket, sui yuk, and sausage. We got the corn bread again and also tried the mapo chili which was a hit! The amount we ordered was perfect this time and we were able to finish everything. However, the pricing is high for what it is. We paid around $80 before tip. Service is a hit or miss. They don't really seem as friendly as other bbq establishments and the lady who helped us was kind of rude. We still tipped her but she wasn't so welcoming. Ambiance is nice for large parties as they have huge outdoor seating in the back. Overall, I would come back if I was reallyyy craving this place. But I wouldn't go out of my way because of the price and service honestly.

For appetizers, we ordered the kalbi dumplings which composed of ground kalbi and soy sauce.

Included in the kalbi experiences were a variety of seasonal banchan, egg souffle, perilla salad, fresh kimchi, and your choice of kimchi stew or soybean stew. I must say...the price is not the same as your typical korean bbq whether it is ayce or not. But this place and the quality of their meats and the sides that were included made it worth it.

Today they were also out of nacho cheese but I'm not sure what that goes on? There's a dry erase board when you come in that tells you what's sold out. It's fun to chat with the other guests about what they came for and what they settled for. We always get it To Go now although they do have tables available.

If you're a fan of BBQ, Wood Ranch is a must try! The menu includes different BBQ options, steaks,…read moresalads, and burgers. I ordered the BBQ combo with the tri tip and brisket alongside the Mac and cheese and smashed sweet potatoes as my sides. I was SO impressed by the tri tip--it was cooked perfectly and the flavor was so good. I'd say this a must order. The brisket wasn't memorable and I'd say this is passable. I liked the Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes and thought they complemented the meats really well. Overall, this is A LOT of food, so be ready to feel stuffed afterwards. I came in on a Saturday night with a group of 6 and we were seated right away. Service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was pretty casual, but gave cozy, homey vibes. One complaint is that it felt like the ac wasn't on here and the restaurant felt pretty warm and stuffy.

Another amazing dinner! I said it once, and I'll say it again: hands-down, the best beef ribs in…read moreOrange County! What's really awesome is that they've even dialed in their sides. Their peanut slaw is absolutely delicious, and their baked potatoes are cooked perfectly. I love the nice addition of salt on the skin, and I personally like to order mine with butter, bacon, and chives. It's the perfect baked potato! And let's not forget those garlic-butter rolls--they are seriously addicting! On top of all the amazing food, once again, the customer service was phenomenal. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely make you feel taken care of. I hope management knows how lucky they are to have such great people on their team. They're doing an outstanding job!
