Excellent service, great food, and a nice clean building. Great building blocks for a memorable experience. High marks all the way around, and I highly recommend the bbq marinated meats! read more

10/10!! Great service, very fast once seated, the quality of the meat was amazing. Couldn't have asked for better

You must come hungry!!! We took my mother and father-in-law out for their anniversary for some Korean barbecue. And this place was the perfect spot for a special occasion. They loved it. From the food to the quick service and friendly faces, it's such a great spot. If you're looking for just a date night with you and your spouse, they have smaller tables with a grill for you to do the cooking on. They also have two options of pricing for different cuts of meat. But I feel like for each when you get a lot of good stuff. And it is all you can eat. My favorite thing to order is the creamy Bulgogi and their kimchi is amazing. The kimchi has like such a yummy garlic flavor and I haven't found one in stores that I like just as much as that one. Also on the sides, order the Korean fried chicken and the chicken Katsu, those are my husband's favorites. This is such a great experience and everyone should try it at least once! read more

They'll tell you there's a 30 minute wait with an empty restaurant and their excuse not to sit you because there's a large party. That front end staff couldn't be any dumber. Do not eat here. read more

We enjoyed a lunch at this restaurant, very polite staff and they were attentive to our needs . The food was fresh and reasonably priced. We would definitely repeat at this authentic Korean restaurant. read more

I'll be honest, I only really go here for the beef bulgogi and pickled veggies but it's worth it because it's so good. Don't get me wrong, other items on the menu are good but that marinated beef is where it's at every time! Service has been good and the ambiance is nice for date night or casual. They have birthday specials too, if your crew is looking to treat you. read more

I called to book a private event for 50 Korea veterans. I left a message with a real person but no one returned my call. Apparently they are too lazy to return calls or they don't want to serve Korea War vets. read more

I came here for the first time and their ambience and service was great! You have the option of doing all you can eat or ala carte. We did ala carte on the meat since we didn't have big appetites. Overall the meats were great but wish we could have more seasoning for the meats and not sure if they only provided that for the all you can eat. Overall our server was great and recommend coming here! read more

I just ordered through uber eats and oh my goddd it exceeded all of my expectations. a little pricey, but so worth it for the price. I barely finished half and i'm so full, but i will keep going. i got the bulgogi box and corn cheese and the arrangement of the sides was just perfect. and idk the way they wrapped the soda in paper towel and taped it was so sweet i love that read more

Came here as a first stop when we got to Gainesville to visit my daughter for her bday bc she wanted Korean bbq. We came late. A little too late for the all you can eat option. I called ahead bc we were a big group of 9 ppl. They said they were able to accommodate us so off we went. It was annoying at first as they initially sat us at a table for 8 ppl. We didn't fit so we stood there like ummmm. Then we had to wait a bit for them to bus a bigger table to really accommodate us. We were on a time crunch to order as the kitchen was closing. Fortunately we were able to place our order in time. Our server David was amazing. Super nice, helpful and accommodating. We ordered some boxes and those who got them very much enjoyed them. We got ribeye steak, brisket, spicy chicken, and shrimp. The beef's were a little fatty but very tasty. The spicy chicken was delicious. Shrimp was good too. All in all it was really good and it's my daughter's favorite place so I'm sure we'll be back here. read more

Imagine being open at certain times for service and then actually changing it to anytime from 12-close. But as a customer entering a Restaurant with open tables being told im setting up table yet over half tables were clear then after that 5-7 wait no server for another 5-7 of supposed prep time. Guess making people leave is way to make money nowadays after 14 mins no response yeah do better. Didn't try food just kindly stood and walked out as noone seems to care. In all as for the prices maybe we should tie the service to the price. read more

Wow! Ordered on Uber Eats. Everything tasty and fresh. Order today. No photos, was at hotel and tired.

Never been here before but we decided to order from the takeout menu and try out their bento boxes. We tried three bento boxes, each of them include the protein, rice, grapes, fried dumpling, miso soup, salad and Korean noodles for under $20: Creamy Bulgogi Beef and Spicy Bulgogi Pork- Really delicious and can't wait to try it again. The Bulgogi Beef was bland and overcooked, so I would definitely pay the extra dollar for the creamy bulgogi its worth it. read more

we have been coming here for over 8 years they recently changed owners, the quality of meats is excellent the new owners are very friendly always on site making sure you feel welcome, servers are great. We're so happy to have such a great place in gainesville. Highly recommend.Nice setting relaxing. read more

I just went to this place was excited to go but they would not seat me because I was alone told me to come back later. Sad I won't be coming back here. read more

It was really good this was my first Korean BBQ experience and it is pretty expensive for the ayce but it was worth it as we got to order as much as we wanted and tried lots of different meats. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. They also gave us a private room in order to get us seated quicker. The restaurant was pretty busy on a Tuesday night but we were still able to order more frequently. Overall a pleasant experience and I would go here again, the creamy beef bulgogi was my favorite and the rice is very sticky. I really like their dumplings. I went again and our waiter was very nice and attentive. It is really good if you get the steamed egg and add your rice/ meat to it! The restaurant itself is nice and clean. read more

I recently went back to Beque for the first time in a few years and sadly I feel like the quality went downhill at the same time that the price had gone up. The marinated meats were pretty tasty, but the unmarinated weren't the best. I do wish that the menu had a bit more detail on what each item is, such as including that the BQ bulgogi is unmarinated, as I had assumed it was marinated in a special BQ sauce when I ordered it. It was also extremely cold in the restaurant so the food got cold very quickly, which was a bit unpleasant. The rice quality was low, as if it had been sitting in a pot way too long steaming itself into big globs. The banchan weren't as good as I remember, and my favorite one, the potato, was no longer there, as well as no more yakult at the end of the meal. Overall, it was alright, but not nearly as good as it used to be. read more

Great place for food and conversation. Acn get pricey but overall a good time with good food.

Checked this place out upon my recent move to the town and was surprised by the friendliness of the server who explained each dish in detail and paid attention to our needs. The black sesame dressing on the salad was really good. The meat is mediocre in quality, but it is AYCE! Enjoyed the food overall and will most likely come back here soon! read more

Beque Holic - Setup - Korean Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Rare to find a AYCA Korean BBQ restaurant around. Beque is amazing. The service is what makes this place so great. It's an experience, not just going out to have a meal. Each time we go we are greeted by a server that is happy we're there. They explain the cooking process and give great tips with the accompanying sauces. They also make good drink suggestions! Do not miss the steamed egg appetizer! It didn't sound too good at first, but I was encouraged to at least try it. Now we always have at least two every time we go. Fluffy, creamy, delicious egg served in a little cast iron pot. The cold apps are also delicious. Pickled wasabi root, caramelized onions, salad, kimchee are all so good. The meat selections are plenty with different things to try. You can also get 1/2 orders of meat so you can try more without getting stuffed so quickly. All of our visits have been enjoyable and we never walk away hungry. I encourage everyone to try Beque Holic. read more

For being the only KBBQ place in Gainesville, Beque Holic is a decent group setting restaurant. My favorite meat dishes are the Pork Kalbi, BQ bulgogi, spicy pork belly, and pork jummulug. These dishes have the best flavors and are the most savory. You have to try the steamed egg appetizer, and I like to pair the meat with wasabi radish, kimchi, rice and japchae noodles. My only complaints were that the price rose to $35 from $28 for the all you can eat option A (the popular one) but the appetizers became fewer and the quality hasn't improved. I always enjoy KBBQ but the price is something that keeps me from coming back often. Fun fact: If you or a friend have a birthday coming up, you can eat for free if you bring 4 guests and it's within 2 days of your birthday! read more

While the food was good, it is way too overpriced. The selection is very limited and a lot of the options were mediocre. The sides were also okay at best. Comparing it to the cheaper Nine Spices, it is definitely better, but it is also a lot cheaper. I believe it is more worth it to go to Nine Spices as it's cheaper and has a lot more options. The service was okay. It took a while for them to make their rounds to us, despite the restaurant being empty. There was a rule when we went saying you are not able to order more than 2 (I think, take this with a grain of salt) meats at a time, and that was a tad bit frustrating when there was 5 of us. The ambiance is what you would expect from a Kbbq spot. read more

Through traveling back home from the holidays my husband and I wanted some Korean BBQ (one of our favorite foods and we stop and try everyone we can) Beque did NOT disappoint! The restaurant is very charming and dimly lit, which gave it a very intimate feel to an all you can eat place. Very romantic and great for a date night! The sides it came with we fantastic and many I had never had though I frequent Korean bbq often. The meat were perfectly sized portions and very fresh! So many options again I'm not used to seeing, like Korean fried chicken! Omg I LOVE Korean fried chicken! The service was spectacular and our waiter was so attentive and gave wonderful advise. The soju was served in the cutest glasses I've ever seen! And the mango soju just blew me away! Thanks you Beque for a wonderful experience and we cannot wait til next year to stop in again read more

The menu has a recently changed at Beque Holic. My initial impression sitting down was " oh great! The quality has dropped or the prices have increased." But I am happy to say either was the was case. I get the impression that they limited the menu to save on cost. The quality was just as good or potentially better than past visits. The only sad part about is the friend maki/sushi rolls and fried chicken is gone :( ! However there are new cuts of beef and other stuff. You can always get the fried chicken at their sister restaurant poche across town. read more

Beque Holic - Brisket - Korean Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I really wanted to like this place. I was craving for a great KBBQ but unfortunately, this was not the place. And unfortunately, this is the only place in G'ville. At first, we were told the menu changed and now they are offering something new and the kitchen is working out the kinks. That is perfectly understandable. However, the process doesn't change. It is still a AYCE restaurant but after our initial order, most items were out. The main line the server threw out was, "The kitchen is slammed tonight!" They also ran out of rice! What?? We got there around 8pm on a Saturday night. They said it will take another hour for the rice to be ready. How could a restaurant this large have only one rice maker? We left after 11pm and the rice never came out. Again, we were told, "The kitchen is slammed." The server gave us two types of sauce for dipping. Neither were spicy. I asked for some hot sauce and the server acknowledged that the dipping sauce wasn't spicy and they don't have any hot sauce. Again, new menu, but no hot sauce in a Korean restaurant? That is not a menu item. That is a condiment. No gochujang in a Korean restaurant??Again,"The kitchen is slammed." This is not a real Korean BBQ restaurant. If you are looking for a pseudo KBBQ restaurant and not authenticity, this place will do. This place is not catered to Koreans and that is how they get away with it. No self respected Korean over the age of 30 will take their moms or grandparents to this place. This restaurant can be so much more but unfortunately it doesn't pass any discerning taste. Our server did the best he could but even he left in the middle of our dinner and another server took over. He didn't say a word to us and left. The new server came by and asked us if we needed anything else but told us, "The kitchen is slammed tonight!" Is the experience worth it? To me, honestly no. You should not run out of food at 8pm on a Saturday night. Especially when you are the one doing the cooking at your table regardless of how the menu might have changed. Not having rice and hot sauce in a Korean restaurant is totally unacceptable. I really hope this restaurant gets their act together and do right for the patrons in G'ville. read more

I ordered food to-go and it hit the spot for me. You will get all the banchan and steamed egg with whatever entree you order. It was ready on time, which I appreciate! The server was friendly! He gave me some Asian grocery store recommendations which was really helpful. Not as good as the Korean restaurants I've tried in LA, but still solid. Yes, I'm a bit of a snob. :P read more

One of Gainesville's hidden treasures. If you have the time and price is not important, this is a wonderful restaurant to enjoy.

May 24, 2025 My Wife & I have been to BBQ probably 20+ times. Every time was wonderful until this last time. It was bad enough I am unsure if I will return. We had a $125 gift card with reciept that was purchased from the restaurant. Thank god we had the reciept. Waitress comes back to the table telling us our giftcard isnt good and we need to give her cash. We provide her the purchase reciept for gift card. She goes away, comes back. Says we need to give her cash for our bill. I ask for manager. She says manager is not there. But she already called him and we need to pay our bill, they wont accept the BBQ Holic gift card. I make it extremely clear I need to speak to manager, if manager isnt there, I need his phone number. Because BBQ holic is now trying to steal from me. She refuses to allow me to call the manager. Takes the gift card. Comes back and said "oh, it works if I use info from reciept". She still refused to allow me to speak to a manager. I asked to have the remaining balance on the gift card transfered to a new working card. Was told No! She came over. Embarassed me at our table. Refused to provide a manager, refused to let me call a manager. Refused to get me anyone higher up to come assist. Also they where out of To-Go cups. Your a restaurant. Thats not acceptable. Mild annoyance, just icing on a already bad experience. We had multiple failures 1) Whoever sold the gift card, sold the gift card, activated it, then handed us a different gift card that was not activated 2) The waitress did not attempt manual entry of gift card until I kept insisting on a manager. Magicly when she did manual entry using the reciept, it worked. 3) Despite asking for a manager multiple times, she refused, stating he was not there. When I insisted i be allowed to contact/call the manager, she refused. Because she already called him 4) They refused to transfer the remaining gift card balance to a new functioning card. Thus they expect me to go through this again. 5) I want my waitress fired for refusal to allow me to speak to a manager. 6) I want whoever sold the gift card under scrutiny. Is this a scam. Sell gift card, but hand them a unactivated onr? (More likely incompetence then it is malice) read more

Perfect time is 4pm Be careful turning into the shopping center. It's a tight turn. Spacious restaurant full of smiles. The music is well rounded from all genres. The food was presented well but several items were not brought as ordered. After asking four times we finally got our miso soup. I will not return, but I will try that style of dining at a different location. PROS: Great space and pricing Music was well rounded Clean restrooms Friendly staff Replaced the grill often They do allow substitutions if you do not eat pork CONS: Cuts in the seat scraped my skin Ordered items were forgotten Tight spaces in the parking lot read more

Friendly service! Yummy everything! $35 plus tax for all you can eat... stopped by on a Sunday night and it wasn't too busy!

This is my go to KBBQ place.. because there really isn't anything else nearby. Food is authentic and great. They just raise the price of the ribeye and galbi and you need to pay a lot more for the combo that includes those. I won't be going as frequently as I was (2x a month) but I'll still go once every few months. read more

I want to start with the fact that the service is always spectacular when we come here, but man, this place has been in steady decline for a while, and today will unfortunately be my last time going, probably :( They said they recently "upgraded the menu" which really just meant they switched to exclusively AYCE by removing the combos and got rid of my favorite banchan dish, the wasabi daikon. All the sauces they give you are way too sweet and have a kinda odd flavor. But, that's easy to ignore because I just want sesame oil and salt anyways for side sauce. I just can't justify the price tag, which is really sad for me because I used to adore this place and would have given it a 5/5 easily back in the day. Hope they can find their way back to their roots! read more

I've been going to bequeholic for a few years and it still remains a very strong kbbq pick after all the changes it has gone through. I would say the quality has gone down, but I do think it was to pass savings onto the customer especially during high inflationary times. The standard pork belly and brisket still is great, but the salad, sides, and sauces seemed to have been experimented with to save on costs. Still will be a great experience and the best (and only) kbbq option in Gainesville read more

I was SO excited to try this place because I've heard so many good things about it. We normally opt for nine spices fondue, since we can grill meats there now, but decided to try something new today. I was really excited to try the steamed egg and corn cheese. BIG. MISTAKE. The restaurant was empty except for a handful of tables, but our party of 2 had to wait 10 minutes before being seated, as did the party of 2 behind us. We were brought out a few items (salad, kimchi, onions, macaroni salad of some sort, etc.) but were not told what any of it was. We opted for the all you can eat Q option for $29/person. We immediately found out they were out of corn cheese, which is one of the main reasons I opted to try this out over hot pot... No one gave us any instructions on how to use the grill. We got beef fat to oil the grill, but weren't shown what to do with it. It stopped "oiling" the grill after the first set of grilled meats and we had no idea how to turn our grill temp down. We didn't receive drinks until after our first food order. We didn't receive the sides we asked for until we asked for them again with the second round of food. We tried 6 or 7 kinds of meats and the cuts were awful. The thin pork belly had hard shards in it that made me think I was about to crack a tooth. The marinaded meats had little to no flavor and no sauces aside from yum yum or two spicy sauces were available. I was shocked. This restaurant is severely understaffed and no one came around to check in on us, we were constantly having to flag someone down for drink refills, etc. We left without eating many of the awful cuts of meat that we were given, and no one even bothered to ask us how it was or why we didn't touch it. This was or was really darn close to being the worst meal I've ever had in my 10 years of living in this city AND it cost over $70. It's sad because my fiancé said it used to be good, but it is definitely not anymore... read more
