    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.

    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.

    I love this place! Local to Irvine and great meats. Lunch special is nice and dinner isn't too expensive at all (at $30 on weekdays). Jake was the best! Also, the guy the mustache was awesome too.

    Lots of food not a fan of the baby octopus or the shrimp

    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.

    Goated service I'm telling you

    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

    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.

    It's been a while since I've been here. Last time was during COVID. I came on the weekend so I could try some premium items. My favorites were the Umami explosion and the Ribeye. You could almost make a meal on the Umami alone. Im a chicken freak and really like the teriyaki chicken. It just takes so long to cook. Service here is excellent. It looked like all the servers were checking on all the tables. I really enjoyed this place.

    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.

    Scorched rice
    Melissa P.

    The food was not bad for AYCE. Some meats were a little tough like the chadol. We overcooked the galbi but I imagine it would've been good if we hadn't! The marinade was lighter than I am used to but at a AYCE, I get it that they cant marinade for so long. The ribeye was definitely our favorite though. The scorched rice was the biggest disappointment. It was super soggy and not very hot. Service was good! The server was great, and explained to us how to order. It is a big space with many tables. It was busy so there was a lot of noise between people talking and the sound of plates hitting each other from the kitchen. I took away another star because of the noise coming from the kitchen. It would've been nice if the sounds of the plates being stacked up wasn't so loud. For me, for this alone I'd probably not choose to eat here on my own.

    I truly feel bad for everyone involved in this operation. I feel bad for the staff that seemed to get the soul sucked out of them working here, and the patrons who haven't found better, cheaper KBBQ spots! My partner and I had a bad experience last time, but we were aiming to try again just in case it was an off day. But no; it's just truly isn't good. Location: its fine, a store in a plaza with a big parking lot. Food: Beef belly was so dry and lean I thought it was brisket. Walking up to the table, you could tell the sides had been sitting there for a minute due to film developing on the cucumbers. Rice paper was hard and dry too. We couldn't even finish our meat... was my first time paying a fee because I just couldn't bare eating there much longer. Bro didn't charge us per plate, he probably knew we were unhappy. Ambiance: bare bones. if I had to be nice, this place was clean. But that's bare minimum. Service: I just felt bad for bro. It wasn't even particularly busy when we entered too. Forgot our drink (which was watered down when it arrived), a straw, and a grill change. Anytime we needed anything, it felt like all the staff were deliberately trying to avoid eye contact. And we paid 95 + tip... could've spent that at Baekjeong.. or a fraction of the price at Top Grill... ANYWAYS don't come here!!!!!! There are way better spots in Irvine (or just go to Garden Grove or Buena Park or smth) Save yourself.

    First time trying it and sadly it was not my favorite... The meats were heavily unseasoned (even the marinades) and felt a little lower in quality than comparative kbbq spots. The banchans also did not feel super fresh. Service was incredibly rushed (I understand that it is a very difficult environment to work in) but our server would stop by for a second at the table and we'd never get the chance to ask for everything we wanted.

    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.… Read more

    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.

One thing that felt a little awkward was the service setup. There didn't really seem to be servers inside, and you pay when you leave, so I wasn't completely sure how much tip made sense. I noticed they even had a 10% tip option, so I'm guessing they know the setup can feel a little unclear. The food overall was clean and decent.
