    It was our first time here, and there was plenty of parking and seating available. We chose Menu A, which had a good variety. We tried the garlic pork belly, prime beef brisket, and spicy beef belly. We also had the kimchi fried rice, spicy tofu soup, and egg pot. The side dish options were great as well. Service was okay but could be better. Overall, the food was great, and they offered green tea, cookies and cream, or strawberry ice cream at the end.

    Came across this place a few months ago and now it's my husband and I's go to KBBQ spot! Quick service and very attentive! Good variety on their menu and they bring a lot out at once and quickly. The quality is always fresh. It's so chill in there and everyone is so nice, good music too! They give ice cream at the end as well... I recommend the malt crunch!

    We went in with a large party, but the service was still very good and attentive. Props to the staff for being professional even though we had a lot of kids with us. This is a good place to take your family or large parties. If you are doing the A-level menu I would stick to the thinly sliced beef and pork belly. If you are doing the B-level menu I would add in beef tongue as well. I also like their selection of banchan. The potato salad, japchae, and fish cake were my favorites. They give you free ice cream at the end too. It's straight out of the freezer so it's a bit hard, but it's good once it warms up. I always get the green tea ice cream.

    We were greeted right away. The servers were super attentive and gave us what we asked for. This isn't your typical kbbq spot where its a small platter of protein. The restaurant wasnt too busy on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated almost immediately. Each plate that we ordered were massive! It didnt even fit on the grill! You had two prices choices to chose from. We opted for the cheaper price. The side dishes were unlimited and so were the soft drinks. We only ordered 4 trays of protein before we said it was enough. The smoke hood above the grill was large enough that there wasnt much smoke around us. That was a huge bonus. We will have to try the higher price next time.

    Service -- quick, super attentive & nice. We ordered the $39.99 dinner & the waiter made sure we got our moneys worth by reminding us to order from that side & offered suggestions. Food -- Good all around. The shrimp was my favorite but it is unpeeled and messy. The rib eye steak was super tasty as well. & they serve you delicious ice cream at the end. The chocolate crunch is hella good! Plenty of parking

    I absolutely love Cham Shoot Gol, it's hands down one of my favorite KBBQ spots. I live in LA and have no problem making the drive out to Anaheim just to eat here. Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed with the service during my last visit, but I noticed none of the usual staff were there they're normally on top of everything. The sides are always solid, the meat is on point, and I really like that they give you ice cream after your meal. This was the first place I ever saw do that, and now you see dessert offered at a lot of KBBQ places but Calm Shoot Gol started it. When it comes to KBBQ, this spot takes the cake. Between the food, the vibe, and (usually) the service I seriously love this place.

    Great selection of meats and banchan. They had my KBBQ staples: chili sauce, sesame oil and salt, steamed egg, salad, rice paper, brisket, and bulgogi. Our favorite meats were the bone-in beef short rib and sliced beef short rib of the B menu. The premium pork belly, ribeye steak, and kimchi fried rice weren't anything to write home about. Love the scoop of ice cream that is included at the end of the meal. Great service! However, we were there on Halloween and it was unusually empty. They do reservations for parties of 8 or more.

    New favorite KBBQ spot in OC. My cousin recommended me to this place and it did not disappoint. The service is top tier and the food is quality. Their sides/banchan are flavorful & they give you plenty of it too! Our go to meat order -- beef belly, brisket, & bulgogi and all 3 were so tasty with the dipping sauces. Their spicy tofu soup is also very good. Cant forget about their staff, each one is so nice & helpful. Special shoutout to Brandon who was our server twice out of the 3 times we dined here & he was so attentive & friendly both times! Thanks, Brandon for the great experience!

    Been to all the CSG locations now after visiting this one. Like the others, this one is pretty good. Service is always super friendly and they make sure you are taken care of. Meat quality really good and they don't skimp on the portions when you order. Always love how they make sure you have enough banchan and condiments. We ordered a few drinks during our visit and got recommended a really tasty apricot soju. Anyways, really great experience once again, CSG is king!

    Just sat down :D dinner timeee

    This is my fave KBBQ in Orange County! We came in on a Tuesday night, it wasn't busy, so the service started off slow. It was our first time coming on a slow night, I think we'll stick to weekends lol. The restaurant was clean and the food was fresh. I highly recommend just doing the more expensive menu option for the premium meats...SO WORTH IT! Great service regardless of being slow. They were quick to bring out anything we requested and did everything with a smile. 100% would recommend to friends :)

    Is there a different price for kids?

    Give them a call to get the correct answer. It will save you time and gas.

    Will the prices ever be going back to $25 or is $30 the new price for good? Is there ever going to be a lunch special?

    Honestly, I don't the price will go back based on the crazy inflation in the US. $30 is a common price for all kbbq AYCE now.

    Do they still have outdoor eating?

    No. They took down the tent for more parking

    Do they take reservations?

    No reservations

    Do they still do the self serve ice cream?

    Unfortunately no, they have pre-prepared to go styled cups with lids as part of their safety measures.

    How many people can they sit at one table?

    Depends on if you're eating outdoor or indoor? My best guess is six for a standard table. However, ever since California lifted capacity restrictions on June 15th, it is best to call and ask if they increased party sizes now and how big is their… Read more

    They reduced the capacity for their outdoor dining for some reason, but they still had it last I went. I would call to make sure.

    Do they utilize Yelp waitlist or first come first serve?

    How can I place an order for to go?

    You can probably call or go in person. There may also be some options for delivery depending on the app and your location if you check.

    Yes.

    Is the restaurant open for dine-in as of yet?

    Yes, just make a reservation!

    Does this place serve steamed egg?

    Are they open for dine in now?

    Can I go to eat alone? How much is it?

    yes and it's the same price (depending on day and time)

    Are there lunch specials during the week?

    Don't they used to close at 2am or something on the weekends?

The meal starts off with lighter dishes like porridge, salad, and water kimchi to warm up your stomach. After that, a variety of starters come out including spicy beef tartare, pan-fried sliced beef, glass noodles, and a beautiful platter of nine delicacies. Everything was thoughtfully presented and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was definitely the assorted premium wagyu cuts, which are grilled to perfection over charcoal. The meat was incredibly tender, rich, and packed with flavor. Pairing it with naengmyun and soybean paste soup made the whole experience even better. What surprised me most was how many courses kept coming out throughout the meal. Even after the wagyu, they brought fried dishes, seasonal items, tricolor pancake, and dessert to finish everything off. Overall, the course felt very complete and satisfying, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. If you're looking for a more elevated Korean BBQ experience in OC, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

I had tried their weekday lunch special before on November 11th, 2025 and remembered it was really delicious. This time, my brother was curious about the lunch special and wanted to try it, so we decided to visit again. The weekday lunch special is $39 per person + tax + tip and includes braised short ribs (galbijjim), gujeolpan, bibimbap, and doenjang jjigae. The galbijjim was so tender and flavorful, and both the bibimbap and doenjang jjigae were also very delicious. However, the gujeolpan portion was noticeably smaller compared to our visit last November. Back then, there was enough for each person to have about two servings, but yesterday it was only enough for one small serving per person. The staff are usually very friendly, which I really appreciate, but yesterday it seemed very busy. They didn't check on our table and even when we asked for water, it took a while to arrive. However, the food is consistently good, and the staff are generally kind, so this is still one of my favorite Korean traditional (hanjeongsik) restaurants. cf 1) After the meal, they serve sujeonggwa as dessert, which I also enjoyed. cf 2) However, there was one issue. Before the food was served, one of the waiters (I'm not sure who) apparently placed My Mom's cell phone on top of the small plate used for sharing side dishes. I didn't see it myself because I had stepped out to use the restroom, but my Mom told me about it when I came back. Placing a cellphone on a plate meant for food is unsanitary and inappropriate. My Mom asked for the plate to be replaced, and it was changed very quickly.

We came the last hour of closing and there was still a couple of tables eating inside still. We were greeted upon arrival and we didn't need them to tell us how to order as the only thing on the table was the ordering tablet (self-explanatory). We ended up ordering the premium gyu katsu set along with the curry pork cutlet set that comes with rice and sides along with some beer. The drinks and food came out fairly quick and were steaming hot. I like that the curry came on the side so the pork cutlet wouldn't get soggy and you could pour over as much as you want over the cutlets. The veggie sides were a nice touch and complemented the meal well. The gyu katsu didn't taste like Japan to us, but it was still good especially with the wasabi and sweet soy sauce that came with it. If I came back here, I would give the beef tongue a try along with the creamy udon because those also seemed like a favorite for customers. Service here was friendly and we were checked up on multiple times without having to flag someone down.
