My first time at this location. We usually go to Rowland Heights locations. They offer few different combos and you can't really go wrong with any of it. Combo small is good for party of 2-3. We had 3 people and also ordered a side of seafood pancake! We left super full. Service and food are both excellent here! We always leave with a happy tummy!

We got the Hodong's combo and a seafood pancake for 3 people. The Hodong combo is a good portion for 2-3 people. Seafood pancake flavor was good, but could have included more seafood, and cooked to a bit more crispy. We had a few servers come by and help cook our meat. Chris was one of servers and was very attentive. It was lively on a weekend night, and full of energy in the restaurant. Ventilation was very adequate for a kbbq restaurant!

Current running special as of 05/30/26 -- BOGO Mocktails! This Korean BBQ restaurant is a great spot for a fun, interactive dining experience. The meats are fresh and well-marinated which come out tender and flavorful on the grill. The variety of side dishes adds a nice balance to the meal, and everything is constantly refilled. Service is attentive, especially when helping with grilling or refills. Overall, it's a solid place if you're looking for good food, a social vibe, and a hands-on dining experience.

One thing I really appreciate is that the servers cook the meat for you, which makes the whole experience so much more pleasant -- you can just relax, eat, and enjoy chatting with friends instead of worrying about the grill. We went on a Thursday around 6 PM and there was a bit of a line, but by 7:30 PM it was almost empty. So for weekdays, if you don't have a reservation and don't want to wait, coming after 7 PM may be a good idea. Not sure about weekends, but weekday timing definitely matters. Our favorite meat was the marinated short rib -- so juicy and flavorful, almost wagyu-like, with that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Definitely the highlight of the meal for us. Great food, easy experience, lively atmosphere, and perfect for a casual dinner with friends.

The fact that this place never stops moving is showing a good system in play. Seafood pancake looks delicious as always!!

Servers were on point tonight. The difference in hospitality has me raving about it with party.

Vincent helped us cook the meat to perfection and was on top of service. We got the large marinated beef and small beef for a group of 7 and it was comfortable. Got seated fairly quickly on a friday evening. Large variety of side dishes brought out fresh. Jeff was very enthusiastic and helpful with getting us more side dishes and napkins. Would definitely come again. Service was 10/10 The beef tartar had an off taste/smell to it but if you could overlook that it wasn't too bad with pears and the egg yolk. I've had better beef tartar elsewhere. (7/10)

I like getting their Hodong's favorite combo since it comes with both beef and pork. I like how there are two different sizes. The small is good for 2-3 people and a large would be good for a party of 4+. I like how they include cold tofu as one of their side dishes as a lot of kbbq places. They also give big pieces of kimchi compared to other places I go to which I like. The meat is good quality and I really like their pancakes. Their combo comes with your choice of soybean or kimchi stew. Their stews are always too salty for me. I always have to add water to it so it's more bearable to eat. They are usually very busy so service isn't the best. Parking is also hard to find especially on a Friday and Saturday night since they share the parking lot with Meet Fresh, Planet Fitness, etc. I highly suggest making a reservation during the weekend dinner so you don't have to wait too long. They currently have a bogo drink special.

This kbbq place delivers an authentic Korean dining experience especially for meat lovers. The atmosphere is energetic and often bustling, which adds to the fun but can mean longer wait times during peak hours. The parkings during the weekend can be hectic since they do share the plaza with many other stores and also the gym. They cook the meat for you so it's not a kbbq place where you cook the meat yourself so if you like that, then this place might not be for you. The meat is pretty good quality and I like how they have combo so that you can try different types of meat with a discounted price. I also like how they include steam eggs and corn cheese.

Bella S.

Gave them a 2nd chance and it's still mediocre. Service was not good; the waiter in the red shirt had an attitude and made us feel rushed with our dining experience. He also forgot to bring our drinks requiring us to remind them. Later, we had a different staff (Chris), who was much nicer and pleasant to deal with. He cooked our meat at a slower pace and did not make us feel rushed. Meat quality was so-so; definitely had better. They cook the meat for you, which is not my preference as I prefer cooking it myself and at my pace. It is annoying that they cook the entire meat dish all at once almost forcing you to eat all of it before cooking the next meat dish. I like to eat a variety of cuts at different times and again, more at my own pace, so this style of cooking is really not for me. A lot of their meats are flavorless. It's fully dependent on the dipping sauce and salt.

I love coming to this place for KBBQ. There are different types of meats to choose from as well as combo deals. They have friend service & they are very attentive. The ambiance is modern & you get to hear the latest K-POP hits. What I like about this KBBQ is with the good ventilation you don't come out smelling like KBBQ. This is my favorite KBBQ in the SGV and it's always a treat to come here.

Brisket
Cheyenne L.

Friday night, walked in and waited 1 hour and 10 minutes. I was impressed by the table setting. Ordered brisket and beef tongue. For the beverage, I got the watermelon drink--buy one, get one free, but it was way too sweet. The server cooked all the meat for us, which was great for a lazy person like me!

Paul G.

Temple city baekjeong might be my favorite location. The food came in fast and our server was so quick to make sure it doesn't get burnt. The ambiance is also very spread out so you don't feel claustrophobic. Joey is the man and he is kept is in the know with what to order! Please come visit this location because this location is beyond worth it!

Selene S.

Haven't been here for a while but came on a Tuesday for dinner. There was a 15 minute wait for a table for four. Staff was quick and cooked our meat well. When we asked for refills on the sides, he was quick too. Ambiance is kpop in the background with sizzling of the grills. Pretty spacious considering. Sadly they were out of ribeye so we ordered brisket, beef tongue, and shortrib. All cuts were yummy, especially the shortrib.

great service as always! been coming here for over 10 years.

Hi there, when I check in at the counter with the hostess, can I add add a note that I may take longer than 10 minutes to walk back to the restaurant when I get the text notification ? I don't want to loose my turn again. Much appreciated. Mitchel.

Since they use Yelp waitlist, I would suggest checking the Yelp app to see your position in line so you can plan accordingly. The host wouldn't know how long to wait if you say "longer than 10 minutes". Is that 15 minutes or 20 minutes or did you…

So I went into my trusty Yelp and found this place. Going here was a great decision because we have been good customers ever since. PARKING: It has never been an issue to park here because if the above ground level parking is all taken, there is underground parking with a good amount of parking spots. WHAT WE ORDERED: As you can see from my pictures, my mom, g/f and I have ordered a lot of different things on the menu. Some of them are no longer on the menu, but wished they would have kept it. Some of the hits include: - Bossam with the pork belly (putting in the spicy radish, baby shrimp and garlic are a must!) - Any of their soups (the kalbi tahng and soon dae soup (soon dae only for me because the other pig parts are a bit too chewy) - their cold buckwheat noodles. On a hot day they put some soup flavored slush so keep the dish cold. - their soft tofu soup (soon doo boo). You can't go wrong with the various flavors that they offer. - Their pork neck soup - With winter fast approaching (hopefully because of this stupid Super Duper Extraordinary El Nino What I also really like is the fact that they have items that are good/catered to both summer and winter, so despite it being a blood sausage place (soon dae), they have other things on the menu that are quite good! VERDICT: As previously mentioned, my mom, g/f and I have been good customers of this place and will continue to go here. The family that runs this place are awesome. The wait staff are nice and attentive and the food are a chef's kiss! SIDE NOTE: Another great thing about this place is the fact that there are a great number of places down the street that you can go to for dessert: Paris Baguette, Old Ferry Donut and Bopo. So whether you are on a date or with a group of friends, there are options for an awesome 2-cha.

The interior was clean and spacious, with a laid-back ambiance that made for a relaxed dining experience. Our meal kicked off with an assortment of banchan that was incredibly fresh and easily among the best I've had. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We had to flag down the staff a couple of times, and toward the end of our visit, our bill was carelessly tossed onto the table, which felt rather dismissive. **Kimchi Tofu Soup: 5/5** Bubbling hot upon arrival, the soondubu was hearty and deeply comforting from start to finish. The broth was bold and savory, with the kimchi contributing a sharp, fermented sourness. Silky soft tofu and thinly sliced beef were both generously portioned throughout. Served in a stone pot, the rice developed a scorched layer at the bottom with a distinctly toasted flavor and satisfying crunch. A word of caution: the highest spice level packs some serious heat that builds quickly, though I still thoroughly enjoyed the intensity. **Bulgogi: 4/5** Grilled to perfection, the bulgogi was tender and juicy, with a pronounced umami depth complemented by a light, nutty aroma. Its sweetness, however, was a tad overpowering for my preference. **Spicy Pork: 5/5** Succulent pieces of pork were stir-fried in a gochujang-based marinade, with a sweet heat that lingered pleasantly on the palate. On the sizzling platter, the edges caramelized beautifully, imparting a subtle smoky char that added complexity and richness to the dish. **Bibim Naengmyeon: 4/5** Cold and refreshing, the bibim naengmyeon featured bouncy, chewy buckwheat noodles generously coated in a sweet and tangy chili sauce, topped with sliced daikon and cucumber for a crisp textural contrast. My only minor complaint was that the noodles weren't cut, making them somewhat difficult to eat. Despite some issues with hospitality, the quality of the food more than made up for it. A Ri Rang Tofu House has definitely earned a spot in my rotation whenever I'm craving a soothing bowl of soondubu.

I really wanted to like the cold buckwheat noodles more than I did, but they were just okay. The noodles were refreshing, but nothing about the flavor really stood out or left much of an impression. The banchan selection was probably one of the more enjoyable parts of the meal. We got fish cake, seaweed salad, kimchi, bean sprouts, and mashed potato, which gave us a nice variety of flavors and textures to pick at between bites. The stir fried spicy rice cakes, on the other hand, were way too spicy. I don't mind some heat, but the spice here completely dominated the dish. It was hard to pick up much of the flavor underneath all that heat, and after a few bites, my palate was pretty much tapped out. As for the galbi, the meat was nicely seasoned with a decent savory-sweet flavor, but the portion was surprisingly small. For the price, I was expecting a more substantial serving, so it felt a little underwhelming when the plate arrived. Since this place is located inside a food court, the atmosphere is very casual. There are plenty of tables and chairs, so finding a place to sit shouldn't be an issue. I also appreciated the self-serve water station at the counter.

For every sunrise, there is a sunset. Unfortunately, I think that Ookook is in a sunset right now…read more We haven't visited Ookook for approximately a year or so now, and the previous time we visited we were pleasantly surprised that the food was still so good and tasted great. So since we were finally back in town, we decided to stop in to one of our old favorite haunts. There were definitely some highlights, but there were other issues that made our visit come up extremely short. We were surprised that the Yelp Waitlist indicated that there was only a 5 minute wait time on the Friday before a holiday 3-day weekend. When we arrived, there definitely was no wait and a table was drawn up immediately. After we were sat, we visited the typical sides/veggies/galbi jjim bar. When fishing out the galbi jjim, I noticed that the ribs appeared to be in a very, very oily sauce. The good thing was that at least the meat it still tasted the same. I remember in times past, I used to love their fish cake banchan and would order it several times. This time, however, the fish cake was pretty bland and cut in smaller pieces, which felt very strange to me. Furthermore, the cucumber kimchi tasted sour as opposed to the slight sweetness that I've come to expect after eating at other Korean places. The mash potato was not seasoned either and some of the other banchan from the buffet bar was also just mediocre. This was the first time that we realized that the food had definitely changed at Ookook. Our first round of meat was spicy beef brisket, beef belly, and LA Galbi. The spicy beef brisket was lacking a bit in the spicy sauce and was dry due to not being fatty enough. One of the pieces of the LA galbi was fine, but the other was very fatty. Whoever cut the LA galbi did a mediocre job because small pieces of the rib bone were still stuck in the meat causing an unpleasant eating experience. Even in spite of this, the LA galbi was the best meat of the night. Our second round of meat was the marinated beef chuck, bulgogi, and more LA Galbi. Just like the first round, one of the galbi ribs was much fattier than the other and also had small bones embedded in pieces of the meat. The bulgogi was a little light, but tasted mostly like it did before, so no major complaints here. The marinated beef chuck was an interesting cut since I've never seen it served like that before, but it felt like I was eating an imitation marinated boneless short rib with a much more gamey taste. This was pretty bad. Our third round, was more LA galbi, and spicy beef belly. The ribs were both finally meaty and seemed to be cut well and to give credit the spicy beef belly actually tasted like the marinade of old. The problem is that the food here used to be extraordinary. The banchan was something we kept wanting to eat despite it being a filler. IMO, fillers being bad is indicative of a huge issue with the quality and taste of a buffet as those types of dishes are what you want your customers to focus on eating. Furthermore, the quality of the cuts of meat were some of the best and made it very easy to choose Ookook in SG rather than going all the way to K-town. It is evidently clear that something changed between either the quality of the meat, the management of the restaurant, or something else internally that is affecting the overall quality of the food at the restaurant. As for service, it was nothing short of excellent. Literally 5 stars. The front of the house does great. The wait staff was very attentive, accommodating, and very nice. It was great to see some old faces and it was definitely the best part of the experience. To my favorite waiter/waitress (unnamed in case there's blowback on this review), service has never been an issue and it's always a pleasure for the both of us to see you! Anyway, even though it might be a sunset so far, it doesn't mean that the sun doesn't eventually rise. I sincerely hope that Ookook is able to improve their food so that the quality and attention to taste comes back very soon.
