LOCATION: Located in the same plaza as Sunright Tea Studio and Ding Tea PARKING: Medium-sized parking lot that's been partially partitioned off for the number of restaurants in the plaza. It can be VERY difficult finding parking during peak lunch and dinner times. WAIT: Expect a minimum of two hours, especially during peak dinner times over the weekend. KBBQ: Overall, I thought it was such a unique experience having KBBQ oustide. The spring lights, the outdoor seating, and the huge, white tent is such a vibe. The meat is reflective of the price you pay! It's not the highest quality, but I think it's adequate. PRICE: Two options (A: $25.99, B: $29.99) SERVICE: Very good! Although they were busy, the employees always made sure to check on us, and replace the grills and meat when necessary. MAIN TAKEAWAY: For the price you pay, it's worth checking out once if you're in the area! Make sure to consider the wait time, especially if you're very hungry. The best part is they give Thrifty ice cream at the end! Who can say no to a scoop of nice ice cream after a heavy meal? read more

Excellent service and meat was delicious.It's located in a crowded plaza, at least on a Friday evening. I would say it's for more "experienced" K-BBQ diners. Easy to get to off the freeway. Scallops were tender and sweet. Shrimp, chicken, pork belly all tasty, squid as well. Recommend read more

**Review for during COVID times where outdoor eating was still allowed** Their outdoor dining was pretty good for what they could do. We loved how there's a little partition for the grill so you don't get the oil splash. Service was pretty good in the beginning however it started getting worse the close we were to finishing. There were times where we'd have to try and flag someone down and there were moments where our order didn't come. The staff was pretty friendly and definitely hard at work since it was basically a full house for their outdoor dining. I've also done their takeout option for the meats by the pound a few times and I'd say it's definitely worth it. The prices are fair; my boyfriend and I felt their pricing was better than getting it at Hmart. We've gotten brisket, beef belly, pork belly, pork jowl, marinated chicken, and galbi. Brisket was a bit dry and more lean, not sure if I'd recommend getting since I generally prefer beef belly. Beef belly is pretty fatty and the slices they give are pretty big. I usually just end up cutting them in half as it grills. Pork jowl was by far my favorite. Very nice and not dry at all. Pork belly and chicken were fresh and the chicken was pretty flavorful. However, I don't think I'd recommend the galbi. For a pound we got only like 4 strips..not sure if those actually equal a pound but for the price & quantity given I don't think its worth it. We also got the sides they offer and wow what a deal! The price for how much they give is very good - definitely recommend getting it here than at Hmart. They do provide you with the brisket sauce however I think the amount they give you is determined by how many pounds of meat you get. You can just buy the sauce for like $3 and it's honestly worth it if you're a sauce lover. Since it's soy sauce base you can just fridge it and it lasts for a long time! Overall both outdoor dining and takeout experiences were good. I would prefer take out just to avoid the crowd of people though. Ingredients were fresh and quantity is pretty good - minus the galbi. Would recommend to do takeout if you're craving some kbbq!! read more

Got this to eat at home. I'm still a meat noob so don't judge me. Beef belly: Delicious!! I liked the texture of this more than the brisket. Beef brisket: Also really good! It felt slightly softer than the belly to me. Both were really good! Salad dressing: Wow this was bomb. I used it to dip my meat too. A very light sesame flavor? Kimchi: Pretty yummy. Slightly more sour flavor. Red sauce: Tastes like sambal to me Jalapeño soy sauce: Really yummy sweet soy sauce maybe w a hint of garlic? Ssamjang sauce: Yummo! Very similar to miso. read more

We took our friend out for her birthday dinner. This was our go-to restaurant for Korean BBQ. We got the spicy pork belly, bulgogi, etc., and there was a stone bibimbap as a delicious vegetarian option. The food was great as always, and our server Ethan and the other staff members were very helpful and courteous. It was a casual, fun, and cozy dining experience. read more

It's a shame.... I loved coming to this place with my family for many years. Today will be the last time I come to this place. The server RAF should get fired along with the mananger....... I would like to say Kevin has always been great..... If you do come ask for Kevin!!!!! we been coming here for over six years....... Horrible experience today with the server and manager......... we will never come back!!!!!! read more

First time visit on a rainy Saturday evening with a large party of 9. We arrived at 6:00 but had to wait until the rest of our party were presented. Although not the fault of the restaurant; parking was very problematic, spaces very tight and narrow. The strip mall owner essentially made all of the parking spaces for compact vehicles maximizing as many vehicles as possible as well as door dings! Once my large party was seated, we found service to be efficient and courteous! We went with the "B" premium meat selection for $24.99 per person. It was a good choice for AYCE for a bunch a hungry guys!! Unfortunately as with most Kbbq the grilling smoke surrounding the dining area and everyone leaves smelling like charred meat! Apparently this place is very popular even on a stormy rainy night with very challenging parking but once you are seated, all is forgiven ! Great place for casual group dining! I'll be back! read more

Let's start with the positive. The Team here is amazing. They are friendly, attentive, caring and fast. They are constantly asking if we wanted anything else and were very happy to change out the grills. I never had to wait too long for anything and the staff is just great! Unfortunately that's all the positive I can share. The meat although well marinated, the quality of the meat and food is poor. The beef brisket was very chewy, the bulgogi has a weird soft texture. The Kalbi is literally paper thin. The Banchan quality is poor and unappetizing. Even the most basic Kimchi and cucumbers were poor. They are so stingy that they cut the rice paper in little strips. The barley tea is so watered down that you can't even taste the tea. We sat outside but the cheap plastic table was crocked and food was sliding to one side. We thought we would be bitten by mosquitoes but we weren't. In stead we were constantly waving away the flies. I'm sorry but this is the worst KBBQ I have visited. read more

The best quarantine meal. It's almost like dining in with all the sides and sauces, and even the tofu soup. We're a family of 4. Ordered 4lbs of beef and had 1.5lbs leftover. The service was excellent. Everything I ordered were nicely packed and ready for pick up when I got there. The restaurant had everything set up for self distancing. The price was very reasonable. They were giving away a roll of toilet paper as a thank you. They deliver during dinner hours. Will order again next weekend. read more

First, the food is not delicious. The smell of the meat made me don't want to eat it at all. You can find the much more delicious Korean and Japanese bbq with the similar price in other restaurants. Second, I don't think the alcohol it sold is real. My friend and I drank 10 bottles of them, and felt nothing. Last, if you are a bbq lover, this place is not the one you should go. The food is not worth the money at all. read more

Me and my girlfriend had an awful experience today around 3:45pm 03/20. We came in when there was no wait and were brought in and seated near the restrooms and back area where servers were sitting on their break. Besides the time we were brought to our table and our initial order, we never got checked up on again. No exaggeration, everything onwards, we had to flag down by servers walking by us; for more meat, rice/rice paper, or the check. My girlfriend and I felt like we were invisible to all the servers; every other table had someone checking in on them. Even tables besides us would have servers check up on them, but completely ignore our table. The table next to us was being helped by Haley, and she seemed to avert our gaze/avoid us. I left an empty glass of water on the edge of the table for 10 minutes and after a while, I had to flag down the busser for a refill. He actually unironically gave us the best service there. I think our official server was just clocking out or something? Because we saw him sitting at the break table eating/with food and socializing with other servers. I assume he just got off because we didn't see him anymore after that. But besides initially being seated, we never had any more interaction with our server. I unfortunately wasn't able to get his name, but he had long-ish hair with bangs covering his eyes. I tried checking the receipt at the end, but our server's name was "Lunch." Very unhelpful. I've been a server for three years at a fairly popular restaurant so I understand what typically goes on in a restaurant. For the restaurant to not even be that busy, the service my girlfriend and I received was unacceptable. If you're transitioning shifts or clocking out, you should be transferring the ownership of your table to another server. I understand tables are typically assigned to servers or by region, but we weren't assisted by anyone AT ALL. If anything it seems like we were avoided. Korean BBQ in my opinion is one of the worst types of places to have bad service in. Please do better next time. I'm not one to complain about service typically, but this was one of the worst experiences of my life at a restaurant. If you're the manager reading this, teach your servers to help everyone out and not just their tables. I know transitioning between shifts can be a bit awkward, but your table's happiness is priority, before prepping, before unpacking utensils, before anything else. read more

In both Google and Yelp this place claims to be open 12pm - 10pm I arrived at 3.05 and it's not open. Their sign shows open tho. I asked manager if I can have a seat outside and wait until they will open for dine in. He refused to cooperate. When I asked where I can wait for their opening he once again said they are not open just yet and unable to help. Even tho plenty of tables with chairs available outdoors. This is very unprofessional. If the business claims to be open for dine-in but it's actually not - please provide a seating for those who can wait. read more

A few of my friends and I wanted to get kbbq for dinner, so we decided on BBQ Stop since it was the closest kbbq spot to us. Due to Covid, indoor dining isn't available, but outdoor dining is. We called when they opened for dinner (5pm) and asked if they took reservations. They do not, so I suggest you go early if you have a big party (we had 6). We got there at 5:45pm and the wait was already an hour long! We decided to wait and it was definitely worth it. The brisket, bulgogi, steamed egg, it all tasted amazing. To mitigate touching, they've gotten rid of using menus. You can go on their website and look at the menu listed. Aside from the food, the customer service was great. To be honest, the service now is definitely a lot better than how it was during regular pre-covid dining. You can tell the servers are working hard and hustling. They even offered extra ice cream after our dinner! We'll definitely be back. read more

Been going here for the better half of a decade. Recently they've started giving far too much meat for one plate (literally heaps of meat). Even when we ask for a smaller share, it ends up being larger than the portions wete previously. makes for an awful experience trying to finish all the meat of an order you didn't particularly like quite that much to begin with. We managed to clean up our first order of 3 meats but that was all we could have. Couldn't have anything else. The meat used to be excellent. Now, the meat is tough and really bland. It has little of its natural meat and fat flavors. Feels like I'm trying to eat up an old leather rag. Thankfully, there are plenty of better options out there in the area. read more

BBQ is a great AYCE spot in Rowland Heights. There is two ACYE options for dinner, $29.95 (27 items) and $34.99 (38 items). We chose the $29.95 option and we greatly enjoyed the meal. We arrived at 5 and didnt have a problem getting a table. We sat inside and we were able to watch the football game that started at 5:15. When we left there was quite a few people waiting. The options were plentiful and the amount of meat was significant. There was a few times we could have asked for less meat to allow us not to be full so we could have tried others. But since we were a party of 3 we only could eat so much. Service was great and not rushed. We would dine here again. read more

BBQ Stop - Acye - Korean Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

One of my favorite korean bbq places to visit while I'm back home. It's a little tricky to turn into the plaza sometimes (depending on which way you're coming from), but it'll be worth it. Definitely recommend coming here for some all you can eat (AYCE) korean bbq! Best part is they give free ice cream at the end :D PARKING: Located in a plaza. It often can get a little crowded with small spots right in front of the restaurant. However, there's plenty in the plaza around it. SERVICE: Every time I come here, they've had great service. They're quick, efficient, and overall very attentive to your orders/requests. Often time, they even remember your orders without using a notepad. Always find that impressive. They offer 2 menu options, A or B. B is all of A plus an additional set of meats. I've had both. I'd probably go with A more which costs $19.99, however B does have a few more meat options and only costs a few dollars more at $22.99. Take a look at each menu and see whatever satisfies your cravings more. ---Sides are unlimited and include all of my favorites: jap chae, bean sprouts, potato, kimchi, fish cake, macaroni salad (has a little mustard with it-i personally don't mind it, and brocolli. ---Steamed egg comes in a legit bowl. ---Sometimes meat orders like bulgogi come out with too large of a portion size. I started doing half orders so I can save room to try a variety of meat dishes. ---ICE CREAM for free at the end. Usually they give 2 huge scoops, so specify how much so none goes to waste. Flavors usually include strawberry, green tea, rocky road, vanilla. read more

We were extremely disappointed with the GENS in both Chino Hills and West Covina as they both proudly gloated that they were open on Christmas. My friends and I really wanted to have KBBQ for Christmas Day since we are Latinos and we already celebrated on the 24th, as amusing as that sounds. GENs made us wait for an hour, wasting our time and not even serving us water or side dishes for over 10 minutes ignoring us. On an impulse on an already dreadful night we decided to try out BBQ spot. When we arrived there the manager was extremely nice and accommodating, and prepared our table with sides and drinks IN UNDER 5 MINUTES!! We were so impressed and all of the sides were so delicious, especially the fish cakes and the BEST cucumber I've ever had!! They served us giant portions of meat and they were so nice and kept giving us quick refills on our drinks, asking us if everything was okay, was so prompt on the orders we gave them and just everything made our Christmas night. Happy holidays BBQ spot and expect us to be back for many times more this upcoming new 2024 year! Thank you for making our holiday evening so special!! I love how the manager scolded us jokingly and told us no more GENs and we wholeheartedly agree, we found our new favorite KBBQ spot so close to home! I'm so sad we didn't find this place sooner honestly!! Thank you so much again!! read more

Visited yesterday and we all loved it! Great food quality and customer service. We seated outside by the door and the server is very nice and helped us cooked our larger intestine, lol! Ordered menu B cuz beef tongue is for sure my must order. ( do you like beef tongue? ) and beef finger meat is another must try. Didn't get the Marinated finger but I m sure it's good. Will try it next time. Panchans are delicious, they also have fried rice, noodle, viggies and more, just ask the server, they have all you need for bbq! They are very busy and wait time is around 35-55 mins. Hey, good food Worth it for the wait. will come back soon again for sure read more

This place was really good and at a lower rate than other kbbqs we have been to. We are picky when it comes to spicy pork because some places don't make it spicy or it ends up tasting more like brisket which is obviously not what spicy pork should taste like lol but this place has really good meats. We loved the hawaiian which we were told was one of their popular ones and we can see why now and their sides are so yummy we ended up getting refills on a few of them. Also i love that they have both radish and rice paper because some places don't carry both. And their rice paper was very soft. Overall i can see myself going there again. Also the male server with glasses was really nice. read more

Hands down my favorite kbbq place in Rowland. For the price, you get some good meat options, some tofu soups, steamed eggs, AND icecrem at the end. How can it get better than that?! There are higher end kbbq but that breaks the bank of the time. And there's also mediocre cheap kbbq. This is a great medium and one of the best in my opinion. The only con about this place is the parking. Parking is fairly easy to find but the spots are SO tight and compact. if you have a big car you might have to park further in. Wait is always pretty quick never too long. Service is amazing, they always come to refill your water and check up if you need side dish refills or to order extra meat. My friends were really amazed by the service and thats one thing that made their experience really great. I really like their steamed eggs and their tofu soup. Brisket is one of my favs and essentials. If you want a good kbbq place, this is the place!! OH! and on tuesdays they provide mini tortillas for you to make tacos. am i hearing ayce tacos YESSSS read more

BBQ Stop - Short Ribs - Korean Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Absolutely disappointing. Never have I ever wanted to leave a KBBQ in the first 10 minutes of eating. I have had WAY better meats and experiences at $10-12 KBBQ joints. The meat was ridiculously dry and unflavorful that I preferred eating it BURNT for an extra crunch and burnt flavor. Even the pork belly was disappointing. I was most disappointed in the brisket, ridiculously dry/bad. Their only saving grace (keeping my stars at a 2 vs 1) were a few of their sides: the kimchi, diced potatoes, and the noodles. Their mashed potato was also severely lacking - extremely dry like the meat. I was hoping for a great lunch with my girlfriend after her mother recommended this place, but I had to inform her how subpar it was. I'm not sure if they use better meats for lunch vs dinner and maybe that's the reason why it was such a terrible experience, but that shouldn't be the case. I don't see myself returning to this establishment. P.s.: The staff was somewhat attentive and somewhat nice. No real complaints on that front. read more

I came here with low expectations. But the meat and customer service was amazing. Thank you sang for the great customer service. You've raised my standards for kbbq . Also check out my photos for the beautiful meat marble. The salad was fresh. This place also serves tortillas so you can make cute little tacos. and at the end of the meal you get a big cup of ice cream ( if your stomach can fit anymore food that is) I also strangely noticed that my clothes didn't reek of korean bbq either after eating AND i was the one who was cooking the whole time. Good vents??? LOL I walked out satisfied and heavy breathing . I'll probably come back if i'm ever around the area (: read more

Was a little skeptical about how this ayce place was gonna be but showed up with my wife and friend on a Tuesday night and had a great experience. Been to a few ayce places and there's these crazy time limits and servers aren't really nice and try to hurry you out... well now to the review I felt we had great service from our server Thomas he was great from the beginning to the end always checked on us for what we needed and then in between other staff also asked us how we were doing and if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this place great staff and cuts of meets are good. read more

DONT EAT HERE!! THEY STOLE YOUR CREDIT CARD. Me and my husband had dinner at this AYCE restaurant last night. To be honest this was the worst Korean BBQ I've ever had. The service was okay but the meat quality was terrible. They just gave you whatever they wanted to instead of what you order. We didn't even finish the 2nd round when we ordered 3 and they just gave us 2. My husband used a credit card that we only use for utilities bills autopay then it got stolen for over $300 today. read more

I met up with some friends for some Korean bbq and what I still enjoy is that this place still has outdoor seating. They were busy and service was a tiny bit slow but I'm glad it wasn't so slow that we couldn't enjoy our food. We were concerned that the cooking apparatus was moving on the table while cooking since the portable table was not situated on a smooth level service but with a little ingenuity we got that taken care of. I think to better service your clientele a buzzer would be good to chime your servers like if we sat inside. Otherwise overall service was good. I'll be returning in the future with more friends. Keep up the good work and outdoor seating. read more

Absolutely worst dining experience I've had in my life. Food was below average and service was beyond awful. My waiter was slow and I had to wait 30 mins for my grill to be changed (health and fire hazard ...) I asked for the manager and he scolded us for being impatient and fussy...I mean seriously? And here comes the worst part...when they came to change the grill the waiter BURNT my little brothers eye and face. He was reaching over his head to get the job done which he was reluctant to do the whole time (I trust it wasn't intentional/personal...). After my little brother screamed from the shock and pain the waiter IGNOrED him and walked away... this is just crazy guys...so we thought the waiter just wanted to get himself fired hence we asked for ur manager. When the manager came, he didn't analogise either nor did he ask questions. He just said to my little brother "hey kid! This is your fault! You don't stand up when adults are changing your grill. You need to be careful next time" I mean come on...I'm not asking for a free meal but at least be responsible as a restaurant owner/manager. I was the most horrific dining experience of my life. We left the places with blisters and redness on my little brothers face but legal action is too pricey so I hope to make a difference by leaving this comment on here. I have video proof from their own cctv my bro never moved and was sitting there the whole time. He was innocently hurt by the waiter (simple and straightforward). We have contacted our insurance company for further assistance but any help from the community is welcomed. We will file a police report later today and also notify other local/state authorities. This owner should never be licensed to do business in this country ever again. May god bless my little brother and hopefully the burn won't leave a big scar on his face :( read more

This is our second visit at this Korean BBQ place and I had a great time. I want to start with the staff, their big smiles and positive attitude created a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere to dine in. Very attentive people, meaning sevice is swift and all well spoken. They have both indoor and outdoor dinning and will update you often if you have a long wait. They have this huge outdoor dinning tent in the parking lot. Noise level is average and not too smokey. I mentioned in my first review that "patking sucks" but I noticed there's an ajacent parking space closeby. And of course no matter how the food is, your company always brings up the goodness of the meat you cook. In other words, Korean BBQ is always great, it all depends on how you prepare it over the grill! And lastly, free tasty icecream! We left a big tip because of outstanding attitudes, fast service and great smiles, although with masks on!! I hope this review helps you decide, enjoy! read more
