We've always enjoyed the food here. All the side dishes, the seaweed soup, the hot dishes, and the ribs are delicious. We do prefer the Plano location a bit more, though, because they offer ice cream--something the Arlington location doesn't provide. read more

This was my first foray into AYCE Korean BBQ. I saw a video on social media and decided to try it. FOOD: Lots of choices for sure. We had the la galbi, squid, pork belly and shrimp for proteins. Then had the kimchi rice and japchae--both very good. ATMOSPHERE: This is in an old business location that used to be Jin Korean. It is functional and definitely has a K-pop vibe going on. Very dated and the air conditioning needed to be cranked up. 100+ degrees outside and the pumped up grills in use were canceling out the air. SERVICE: Here is where ALL the deductions add up. The manager showed us to our table and left. A young man came and asked what we wanted to drink. (No name given-just turn on a light over the table to flag him down. Taken from Walmart's playbook.). There was a language barrier and we were reduced to asking for water. The nicest person tonight was the guy who changed out our grill. Despite telling 3 employees it was our first time there, no explanation on how any of this worked. TIP: Go somewhere else. read more

Still an awesome experience many months later. This place is a little far out for me but it's always worth the drive. Food quality is consistent and service is excellent. Love being able to grab my own banchan and hot dishes and my wife loves their pumpkin porridge! Always a pleasure dining at Bon in their casual no frills atmosphere! read more

We enjoyed dinner here Tuesday night. We had the AYCE Korean BBQ where they bring you some meats and other meats you get from the buffet. You grill at your table. The meat was very good, thick cuts and tasty. We were a bit disappointed in the rest of the buffet. There were very few Korean banchan items, and I was hoping the meal would include ttukbaegi gyeranjjim (steamed egg in a small earthenware pot) but they didn't have that. read more

Bon KBBQ - Grill at your table - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Sometimes when you want something done right you have to do it yourself ;). All jokes aside Bon KBBQ is BON (good in French). Nicely decorated interior, very clean & also incredibly spacious. I came for dinner, but being that most items served for dinner are also available for lunch I'd recommend you stop by Monday through Thursday before 3pm to really take advantage of the price ($20 vs $30 plus tax doesn't seem like much of a difference until you're out on a date or in a group). When it comes to the food the meat & seafood options are fresh and of great quality in terms of cut/grade, as are all the pre-cooked sides. The staff does an incredible job of not only ensuring customer satisfaction at the table but that there's a consistent rotation of items readily available. First impressions truly are lasting so if you've never been to a Korean bbq restaurant I do highly recommend Bon Kbbq as you won't be disappointed. It's best to come in a group, but don't fret if you're alone. My best advice is to start with small portions so that you're able to try everything (from their soup selection to precooked meals, select bbq items, cold sides & self serve sorbet/ice cream for dessert). It's important to be mindful of how much you order though, as I do believe you get charged for waste they deem excessive. read more

I come here all the time and it's always great!! They have a lot of veggies to put on the grill. Broccoli, mushrooms, onions, garlic cloves, jalapeños. The beef belly and sausage are my favorites. But, I always get different stuff from the buffet island. Bulgogi, teriyaki chicken, pork loin, etc... I get corn on the cob as well. Sauces are great. I use the house sauce on my white rice. The thick teriyaki dip is fantastic for dipping my combination of meat and veggies from the grill. I typically go for lunch and all you can eat is $21. Dinner is a little more, but adds shrimp and other more expensive meats. They also have ice cream for dessert. But, I can't have any of that. I always leave full and it ends up being my meal for the day which makes the cost even better!! Yelp says it's closed. But, it just was renamed Bon KBBQ. Same place. read more

Bon KBBQ - Dessert water provided with your check to cleanse your pallet. Very good!! - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Bon is my favorite kbbq place because I love the buffet style. Even when it's busy it's still relatively quiet, not as smoky as other restaurants, and not too bright--all things I appreciate as someone with neurodivergent family members. I love the variety of food. Staff are extremely attentive and always somehow replaced our grill before it got too smoky, unlike other restaurants! I have come twice and I always hope to bring my friends again. I especially love the LA galbi and the veggie table-- I love 반찬 like 깍두기! read more

Came here today on a Sunday, at 6:00pm it wasn't busy when arrived, but when we were done it was picking up. I like how you can choose the Korean small dishes rather than most places that give you tiny little plates, staff was so efficient and quick! This place is so spacious so you don't have to worry about smelling like bbq food, I love how clean this place is!! It's 28.99$/pp read more

This place is pretty good! I feel like a lack of variety for sides, but the meat was pretty good. They served us really well, always grabbing our waters and such. and the setting inside the place was darker but still very clean! read more

Their lunch deal is AMAZING!! And it includes marinated LA galbi so it's a steal. They have buffet tables with wide selections from meat to veggies to banchans with rice and soups. The meat was so tender and so good! The only downside is they use some infrared grill so the meat takes a bit to cook. read more

I enjoyed having lunch with my sister at this Korean BBQ spot, it was both of our first time here. We were promptly seated. We both ordered water and the waiter made sure that our glass was never empty. My sister and I both checked out the restrooms. A plus that this restaurant is mobility impaired friendly. I looked around and there was definitely enough room with out awkward maneuvering. Our Dad has an electric wheelchair, while my sister still only uses a cane. The ambiance was a clean Korean BBQ restaurant. My sister and I both commented to each other how their floor are clean and not slippery. The meats were fresh and tasty, the fried rice well my sister said hers was under done but my scoop was over done. All in all this is a good Korean BBQ. read more

A wide variety of Korean sides, recommend the house kimchi, and a generous selection of your favorites. Spicy pork belly is delicious as is the bulgolgi: the ribeye served with a slice of pineapple, the pork cheeks and flanken ribs were standouts. Very attentive service and a very fair price: we enjoyed our meal very much. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, no frills here but solid on the quantity and customer attention. read more

Horrible experience at Bon Kbbq. Grill didn't work and the whole unit had to be replaced while we had food on the table. Mid meal both grills stopped working. Fuse was broken and had to be replaced again, interrupting our meal. Servers acknowledged "this side" has been having a lot of problems. Servers were a trooper tho trying to fix our problem. Talked to the manager to give us compensation for the many interruptions during the meal. Manager acknowledged that specific table has been having problems. Both server and manager knew the table had problems then why seat us there? The restaurant had many empty tables. Manager was not apologetic of the experience there and refused compensation. Overall poor experience. Never going back again! read more

Yesterday, we revisited this amazing place for the second time. The customer service was outstanding, the meats were fresh, and there was a wide variety of delicious sides. We were blown away by the amazing Shiken drink dessert they had! read more

Bon KBBQ - Build Your Own BBQ - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Second time here and again a 3.5, considering this is AYCE KBBQ for $19. Again they have tons of side dishes and options which are delicious! Their coleslaw is so good, and they have fish cakes, bean sprouts, etc. and a small sauce bar. They also have some soup at the end where they have kimchi fried rice, jap chae, etc. The middle section has raw meat you can bring to your table, but you can order meat from the waiters too. The meat quality itself is a little subpar, the beef belly was not as fresh as I am used to and you can tell. It's definitely not bad but it's not great. I think the best meat here is the LA Galbi, which is what I ate most of. It is a bit greasy as they don't trim the fat, but the seasoning is nice and it is overall pretty tender! The service this time was much better, the waitresses walked around to make sure you had all you needed, they changed the grill for us, and food came fast! This was a pleasant change from last time :) Ambiance is like an older Korean bbq place, it's cozy and clean but not fancy. A nice casual spot! Again, for $19 AYCE this is pretty good. The side dishes and extras are really good, just the meat quality is a little below average. If you are looking for some kbbq on a budget, I think this place would be good to start! read more

I have heard good things about this place so I wanted to give it a try. Came in on a Monday night and for a while we were the only ones there. My friend explained we had to get the food ourselves which is okay I know there's a couple of places that do this. Once we got our food and started cooking I was trying to eat some of the side dishes/appetizers they had like the tteokbokki and japchae while I waited for the meats to finish, I noticed the side dishes were cold and tasted very old like they had been sitting for 6+ hours which is believable being that it was a slow Monday night. The meats were okay, some of them also tasted old if that's even possible? I wish I could have enjoyed this place after seeing all the reviews and having it been recommended so much. Maybe I will try again but for now I did not enjoy the taste it left for me. I will say the staff were very attentive and friendly. read more

Pretty solid spot for kbbq. All of their meat is pretty high quality and flavorful. They also have a hot and cold bar for Cold/hot side dishes, multiple sauces, and soups. I especially adored their kimchi rice! It pairs well with the grilled meats. They played American music for about 30minutes with a playlist of 10 songs, then an alarm went off and switched to Kpop. Service was great and our grilled was changed twice. Definitely recommend. Plano spot is pretty nice read more

Very solid bang-for-your buck KBBQ. Dinner pricing is $26.99/person. Meats were overall fair quality and seasoned well, although 1 plate of meat tasted sour. They have several options to pick from the menu, but they also have more marinated meats and seafood at the self-service bar area. Our waiters were attentive and changed our grill regularly. I actually enjoyed the side dishes a lot, perhaps even more so than the meat. The Tteokbokki and Japchae in particular were pretty good. read more

Got the lunch all you can eat. There are many meats to choose from and you can take it back to your table to cook. There are also some meats you can order with your server, my favorite being LA Galbi and shikhye (drink). There are cooked and uncooked food. The floor is too waxy/slippery. I didn't feel comfortable walking around. Also the sign to the restroom is not very visible. Overall, I like the food. The servers are also attentive and cleared up plates quickly. read more

Been going to this place for years and went back yesterday night since I was craving for KBBQ. As soon as I get to the parking lot, I thought they're closed for Sunday. Walked in and saw they're not busy and I was sat on the table and I ordered my usual drink. While picking my food, the waiter came to me told me that the price was different. $19 for just the sides and more charges for the meat( buffet table)And $ 30 if I order a plate of other meat they have on the menu. I don't know why they call it buffet if what covered under buffet was the vegetable sides only. I t was totally different and I don't know if it's because I was by myself and they're calculating the tip amount. Good thing there's more other new KBBQ in DFW than this one. I don't recommend and never going back either. read more

This place used to be Jin Korean food. I wonder if they changed the sign to Bon KBBQ in front as I remember when we came here we saw the Jin Korean Restaurant outside where we were driving, but got confused that we saw Bon KBBQ in front of the store. But it is located near H-Mart. This is usually our go to place for Korean BBQ as the prices are $27 dollars per person. They have three stations. The salad bar and the appetizers like Kimchi, snowpeas, ice cream station, the raw meat station which was the bogolgi, pork belly, shrimp, etc and then the hot food station, gyoza, fried rice and the peanut chicken. They also have rice and pumpkin juk and some other soup too. They have a menu where you order premium meat as well. What to I like and what to try? 1. Peanut Chicken - If you ever seen this one come out hot, please get it 2. Beef Tongue 3. Beef Belly 4. LA Galbi 5. I love the salad and the sauce, I ate quite a bit of it 6. Hot Wings What not to get? 1. I did not enjoy the roast beef as it was dry Ice Cream was alright as you do need to get rid of the salt. I enjoy coming here to eat. read more

Food was alright. Service was really bad. We came on a Tuesday for lunch as a group of 6 and we were seated by the manager, Troy. He sat us at a table with 2 grills. Unfortunately, we were interrupted by kbbq grills whose fuses broke. During our lunch, the entire grill units had to be changed twice and the grill plates had to be changed another 2 times. Although the server did the best he could to quickly change the grill, it was very disruptive as the wires got on our food, we had to move out of the way, and we had to wait for the grill to start up again. The server was quite considerate and did not fail to mention the disruption to the manager. Troy, the manager, did not compensate us for the inconvenience. He even admitted that the grills on our table has been malfunctioning in a while and it got me wondering why didn't he just put us at a different table if he already knew. Regardless nothing was done to make up for the inconvenience and we were all pretty upset at the service. It seems like neither Troy nor Kay, the owner, values their customers experiences at their restaurant. Overall not impressed at all especially at the service and food was just meh as well. read more

This is a great Korean bbq place! The food all tastes fresh and is VERY plentiful. You definitely get your money's worth here. The space is very nice and open.

Bon KBBQ - Peanut fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

All you can eat Korean BBQ with a spin! We had family over for the holidays that have never had Korean BBQ before. I thought Bon KBBQ was the perfect spot to bring newbies. They had a lot of pre-cooked options available to choose from in the "buffet" area (e.g., kimchi fried rice, fried dumplings, regular fried rice, noodles, miso soup, etc.) as well as raw meat for the table to bbq. Since it was Christmas Eve, the place was fairly busy! We didn't have any issues with service. Our grill was changed out regularly and everything tasted fresh! read more

The actual cuts of meat might not be the greatest, but nothing can beat their $19.99/person rate for lunch AYCE k-bbq! I love their kimchi/hot food/soup bar. This is a quantity over quality place, but it absolutely hits the spot when you're craving Korean fare every now and then (I love that I can get kimchi fried rice and my galbi here). The service has always been impeccable when I've come! Note: I always forget their sodas aren't refillable fountain soda drinks. read more

So I am not very familiar with korean barbecue... but I did check this place out hoping for a new cool experience. I don't think that it was a poor value, the food was decent. Right out of the gate the food I got from the hot cooked food station was not hot and the chicken had a strange consistency so that put me off a bit quickly. Otherwise, everything was fine. Service was attentive. I think they handled everything well enough with food safety so I don't want to be critical of this from a style perspective because some of my concerns are intrinsic to a buffet style for a place where you cook the meat yourself. This place doesn't seem to be trying to be a high end meal, but provide a good value and I do think they deliver on that value. Ultimately this wasn't a great experience for me, but I am probably not the target market and this is more reflective of my expectations going in. If the hot food would have been hot, I think I would have given this restaurant 4 stars. read more

As someone that has lived in and visited Korea I can tell you that this is not authentic Korean BBQ. They add why to much sugar or sweetener to the meat marinade. Unfortunately this is all to common here in the states. The kimchi was just okay. And the kimchi rice and japchae was okay. But the meat was so sweet I could hardly eat it. We were disappointed especially considering the price of $28 a person for dinner. I do not recommend Bon KBBQ. read more

Bon KBBQ - All kind - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

My family and I ate here for lunch and the servers had to change out the whole grill unit (not the grill plate) and the fuse FOUR TIMES. We had to get out of our chairs multiple times for the server to change the units and fuse under the table. The cables for the units got on our plates and tables during the switch out making us have to get new plates. The server changing out everything was kind and doing the best he could. HOWEVER, Tony, the host for lunch 12/23, acknowledged ongoing technical issues with the grill units at our table and still did not offer to give any compensation. The server had to bargain with Tony to give us free drinks as compensation. But we don't typically drink alcohol nor sodas, so we just asked for a discount; Tony said he couldn't give us a discount and was even complaining that he has been telling the owner about the technical issues with the grills and that the owner isn't fixing them. Kay is the owner. Management and customer service (host and owner) is very unprofessional. Food was also mediocre; could have a more satisfying lunch with a better host elsewhere. read more

We were looking for a KBBQ place and decided to try a new place. We were not disappointed. This might be our new go to place for KBBQ. We love the fact that you don't have to wait for the staff to request another side dish or meat. Yes, there are more expensive meats that have to be requested but the glass noodles, several varieties of kimchee, clams and many other options are at the buffet bar. There's also a downside as you don't pace yourself and might get full off the precooked dishes but the fact remains, this place is beginning to look like it's going to be our top spot for KBBQ. Staff is pleasant and food is on par with any other KBBQ place and we've sampled quite a few here in the metroplex. read more

I took my friends here the other day for their first time and I can assure you that it was not a good first impression. They got the beef bulgogi from the line and brought it back to the table. Unfortunately, what they found in the beef was a metal staple. Fortunately, we caught it before we put it on the grill and ate it. Same with a piece of plastic that we found on our beef belly. Besides the staple and plastic, everything else went fine. Grill worked, service was fine, and the rest of the food was as expected. Maybe don't cut packages and keep staples with the meats next time? Do better. read more
