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.

4. Skinny Dipping Cow (brisket) & 21. Dae Pae Pork Belly (thin pork belly)

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!

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.

The selection is huge and great for the whole family. We love coming for special occasions, but the price is a little steep for a casual weekday date night.

Since this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I initially expected someone to seat me, but I was simply told to find any available table and start eating. That was perfectly fine with me. The food selection included several salads, meats, and other dishes, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Overall, I found the food fairly average. The main reason for my two-star rating, however, was what happened when I paid. My bill was around $36.50. I paid cash with one $20 bill and four $5 bills, for a total of $40, and told the cashier to keep the change. What made me uncomfortable was that almost immediately after I handed her the money--while she was still saying "Have a good day"--she pulled out a counterfeit-detection pen and started checking my bills right in front of me. I understand that businesses may have policies for checking cash, and I have no problem with a restaurant protecting itself against counterfeit money. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and somewhat insulting. She could easily have waited until I had stepped away before checking the bills instead of immediately testing them in front of me as soon as I handed them over. I was not rushing out of the restaurant or behaving suspiciously in any way. Of course, I have never knowingly used counterfeit money. The whole interaction simply left me feeling as though I was being treated with suspicion for no apparent reason. If checking cash is standard procedure, I can understand that. But customer service also matters, and there are more discreet ways to handle it without making a paying customer feel accused or embarrassed. Between the average food and this unpleasant experience at checkout, I can only give this restaurant two stars.

First time diner and reviewer…read more I've eaten at plenty of AYCE Korean BBQ restaurants, but this was the first time I got to self-serve the meats! I love the meat and veggies bar where I can pick and choose what meats I want at the portions I'm comfortable with. The problem with most AYCE BBQ restaurants is that they always give so much meat. Even if I ask them to provide half they would refuse for some reason. Since I don't really like bothering servers all the time, asking them to bring more food to the table, I really love the freedom of getting the meats myself at my own pace. This way I can control the frequency, the portions and won't end up paying extra for leftovers I couldn't finish. For an affordable lunch menu they do offer a good variety of meat and side dish options. The food is delicious. The marinades are bold and flavorful, although they can be a bit overwhelming. I do wish they had some kind of dressing for the salad. The service is friendly. The server was super nice and attentive, coming around to change the grill often. Definitely coming back.
