I recently visited Gui Gui Korean BBQ and had a really great experience overall. One thing I really liked was their self-serve station and hot bar. They had a good variety of sides including fried rice, onion rings, gyoza, and tteokbokki. It was nice being able to grab extras without having to wait. The also have tortillas and pico de Gallo so you can make tacos The meat itself was good quality and flavorful, which is obviously the most important part for KBBQ. The atmosphere was also a vibe, they were playing music on the tv, which made it feel fun and lively without being overwhelming. Service was solid. Staff was attentive and made sure we had what we needed throughout the meal without being too overbearing Overall, a really enjoyable spot. I'd definitely come back! read more

The food was really good and the meat selection was great! Unfortunately, the service experience threw us off a bit. Once we sat down, it took quite a while for a server to help us. When my boyfriend tried to get someone's attention, he was brushed off, and it also felt like assumptions were made about us ordering the lowest-priced menu option. Once we clarified we were getting the middle-priced option, the service noticeably changed. Later, when we asked for the check, our server went to grab it, but a supervisor/owner pulled him aside to talk for several minutes even though she knew we were waiting on our tab. When we finally made eye contact again, we were asked if we needed anything else, and once again had to ask for the check. The restaurant also wasn't busy at the time, which made the delays more noticeable. Overall, the food was great, but the service experience definitely impacted our visit. read more

Honestly, this place has the best lunch deal for KBBQ hands down. They have a self service bar for sauces, side dishes, and tortillas (wraps)! Come check it out when you're in the mood for kbbq. read more

I came here on a Saturday night and was honestly not that impressed at first. Although there were many empty tables, it took a little time for us to get seated. I think the place is okay for its price and I wouldn't say i was taken back by the quality or the service. I would rate this as an okay Korean AYCE. I came here instead because my favorite store was closed for that day. read more

We just found out about this AYCE KBBQ for a reasonable $23 lunch special. GUI gui also has a location in Rowland Heights. A few of the proteins need to be ordered through the server, but many marinated meats are available at a self-serve bar. There is also an appetizer/Banchan bar (although if recommend focusing on the proteins instead). I was intrigued by the tiny corn tortillas as an alternative to a rice paper wrap, but the tortillas were hard to wrap and fell apart easily. Overall meat quality is soso, more fat and less protein. I really like the marinades and prefer these to non-flavored proteins. The regular brisket and marinated brisket are both somewhat fatty (see picture), with about half of the area being fat. It will cook down and help to lubricate the grill surface. I also find the brisket slices to be slightly thicker than usual, which is okay with me since brisket cooks quite fast usually. The marinade for the brisket and pork belly is close to a gochujang, with generous amounts of sauce used. This was great for flavor, though did lead to more splattering on the grill. To me the real stars were the already marinaded proteins from the self-service bar. These are immersed in the sauce and so to intake the flavor strongly. I also like that I can choose how much of each protein to get, so I can ensure I get only as much as I want. Really liked the beef bulgogi, as well as the marinated pork stir fry. Marinated pork ribs and pork belly were solid, I just prefer other proteins instead. For sides the salad was okay, dumplings should be skipped, cheese-corn is fun to cook but has more cheese (so next time I would take a bit off before cooking), salted edamame was basic. read more

Gui Gui is a great spot to fulfill your kbbq cravings! I typically go for the brisket & beef belly only anyways and it is only $29.99 (Menu C) for dinner! There's plenty of the average sides like mashed potato, kimchi, steamed egg, soups, etc. The quality of the meat was pretty good. The brisket was a little thicker than other kbbq spots so I felt like I couldn't eat as many rounds. Beef belly is standard. I wouldn't recommend the thinly sliced pork belly because it was SUPER thin which made it kind of stuck to the grill. Overall, it was an average kbbq spot to fulfill your cravings. Service was pretty quick and on valentines weekend, there was surprisingly no wait! read more

Easily one of the better KBBQ spots in the area and the prices are GREAT! For the first timer, they have 3 menus to chose from for different price points. Menu A- Larger selection/better quality meats 49.99 per person Menu b- moderate selection of meats (39.99 pp) Menu c- 29.99 per person and has a good meat selection (bulgogi, brisket, shrimp, chicken, etc) this is the option we choose and it was GREAT! Also all 3 menus include unlimited sides Kimchi, Steamed egg and potato salad were our favorites!! Service was great, very attentive and helpful! They come and replace your grill frequently! All servers seemed nice! Also order yourself the Blond Lager to share its so good and pairs perfectly with KBBQ! Ambiance is typical of a KBBQ restaurant and we will return! We went on a Friday night, it was busy but not crazy busy! If you were thinking about KBBQ in La habra this is the place to go! We will be back! Thanks again! read more

F O O D My sister and I came for their $19.99 lunch special earlier this year and were pleasantly surprised (I think the price has increased since we've gone). They had yummy cuts of meat that weren't too fatty and a serve yourself bar of sides. There were meats that you can also serve yourself but certain cuts can only be ordered through the server. S E R V I C E We came during their lunch special and service was no bueno even though the restaurant wasn't full. We kept having to flag the server down for drink refill or grill change. We honestly weren't checked on unless we waved someone down. It was busy, but not THAT busy. L O C A T I O N I thought it was sort of random in a plaza next to Italian food and with Dollar Tree and TJMaxx, but there was plenty of parking and while business was steady, it wasn't crazy busy. read more

Lunch prices went up by $3 but still worth it. The quality meats, excellent service and clean facilities make up for it. A tablet is conveniently located by the door to sign in. Pleasant servers will welcome you in and give you instructions to take a photo of the QR code by your table for the menu (list of meats). Everyone is just smiling, welcoming and accommodating. No more of the paper / plastic menu that feels sticky and dirty on your hands. A bar of commonly ordered meats and sides is accessible. A button to order special meats is conveniently located by your table too. The women's facilities.... I'm impressed. CLEAN! Just one advice: Please provide hand sanitizers by the bar area. We will be back! read more

We wanted some KBBQ AYCE and decided to check out this place. They have plenty if parking located in a strip plaza. We chosed the $29 meal deal. Lots of meat to choose from. We like the bulgogi the most followed by chicken marinated and the brisket. Service was good. They were attentive. The place was ok. They could use some new pads on the booths. They have a couple of kid games up front for entertainment while waiting for a table I assume. Overall food was good. Go give them a try. read more

It's perfect for groups, date night, or just when you're seriously craving KBBQ.

I like that this place doesn't rush you, and the laid-back atmosphere really makes it feel like a hangout rather than just a meal. Great service, good food, and good music!. read more

Amazing food. Love the calm service. Great family atmosphere. Staff are patient with all.

Right off the bat I loved the little claw machines and the way it was decorated! The staff was very kind and gave us some grace seeing as I was reuniting with some friends we ended up talking after we were done with our food. Love them for letting us do that. They also politely dropped the bill once we hit the 2 hour mark. And the food was delicious. I was very surprised with the options they had at the bar (some meat you order from a server and some you grab yourself from the bar) they had pickled onions, tortillas, onion rings, and even rice cakes (although those were a little too mushy for my taste). My favorite was the cheese corn. I'll definitely be coming back here again. read more

Tried Gui Gui 9292 Korean BBQ and went with Menu C, which is very affordable at $29.99. For the price point, the meat quality was decent, especially compared to other AYCE options in the area. What stood out were the unique condiment dishes you don't usually see at KBBQ spots--tortillas, pickled onions, and pico de gallo. It was an interesting twist and fun to mix things up. That said, the banchan/side dishes were underwhelming and honestly not very good. They felt like an afterthought and didn't add much to the meal. The real reason this place earns an extra star is the service. It was excellent. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, checked on us frequently, and changed the grill at least five times throughout the meal. They clearly cared about the experience and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. Overall, solid value for the price with standout service. If the side dishes improved, this could easily be a go-to spot. read more

Went here with my son to have dinner, the wait was about 30minutes. I chose the B menu and the selection was light compared to other KBBQ spots. The meats were super thin and LA galbi especially. The flavors were too sweet and the service was little to none. Too many other good options to return. read more

Most of the food is sweet including the potato salad and macaroni salad. It had no real Korean flavor. It's geared toward more American taste. read more

My +1 discovered this spot and loved it! Gui Gui is located in a large strip mall plaza area but is not hard to find. The place was super packed, but we were able to find parking and found our way in. It wasn't busy inside but there was a kiosk that told us how to add our names to the waitlist. It said C 10-15 minutes, but as soon as we walked outside, we were flagged down by one of the waiters who said that he could get us in right away. They had a lunch special for $25 a person, which I appreciated. There was a slightly smaller AYCE menu to pick from, but we didn't even get through half of it. Some of the premium items, like beef, belly and brisket, had to be ordered directly from the server, but everything else like your standard pork belly, beef, Bulgogi, chicken, etc. not to mention the sides, we're freely available at the buffet where you help yourself. Our server was attentive, but not overbearing, helped us with our first order, and then we load it up at the buffet. He even came around and helped us with some of the pork, which he showed us how to cut to make it easier to cook The food was delicious and everything I look for for AYCE Korean barbecue. We were glad we stopped by, and plan on coming back again. read more

I was a regular here before it changed to Gui Gui 9292 and fnally came here for the $19.99. AYCE lunch which is good 7-days a week. The staffing was good and with so many self serve food items now, the staff can focus on changing grills (which they did often without asking) and getting the non-marinated meats from the back. And, there is a hot bar of food including duk-bo-gi (no hard boiled eggs though since they are expensive now). This is a tough deal to beat and if you can't make it for lunch, it's $25.99 for dinner so still a good deal. Check out my pics. read more

Tried Set B at Gui Gui 9292 in Rowland Heights and the meat was flavorful, especially the beef belly, and the sides like tteokbokki and corn cheese were tasty from the bar.

Fair pricing and a modern, spacious setting make this a solid spot for groups or casual BBQ cravings. Reservations recommended on weekends. Definitely coming back! read more

They have lunch price until 4pm. The typical soups are not included but you can get it for extra $. Meats-I don't know what was wrong with the meats but the brisket was so chewy that my friend complained her jaw hurt after eating an order of it. The beef belly was all fat. Before you question our expertise, we aren't bougie but those 2 basic meats were terrible quality. And you can't say you get what you pay for...because we've tried other places in similar price range and the brisket and beef belly were good. Had high hopes but was disappointed. read more

My group and I were excited to try this place but only came to be disappointed by the slow service. The meats were fine, nothing to be excited about as we knew what we were getting with the $25.99/person dinner special. We enjoyed the banchan thoroughly and loved the variety. We suspect that the restaurant may be severely understaffed as there was a call button on the wall adjacent to our table that had to be repeatedly pressed to get the attention of a server for grill changes, meat orders, and water/banchan refills. We were first on the waitlist and got sat but was serviced after a table that was next after us. We didn't receive water and had to ask for it. They offer the sliced meats to be delivered to the table and then a self serve station with other meat options such as pork belly, pork jowl, and bulgogi along with some sauces, rice paper, radish, and fried appetizers. We could not get past the slow service that ended up diminishing our dining experience. Having to ring the call button multiple times should not have to be done when you serve in a AYCE environment. The servers seemed stressed and overworked leading to them coming up short with their tables. I would highly suggest going to another KBBQ place down the road that will give you a much more elevated experience. read more

Lunch special is worth the visit if you're like me and enjoy the basic cuts. We came before the lunch rush around when they opened, but the place filled up quickly on a Saturday. By the time we left a line had formed. Quality of the meat is perfect for the price. There is also a self service area where you can get the pork belly, rice paper, sesame oil, and other things. I mainly ordered the brisket. Note that steamed egg will cost extra. read more

They have a delicious assortment of marinated pork that is self serve and I highly recommend a pork rib. Some of the meats were on the saltier side, so grab a little bit of each and see which one you like. The steamed egg and kimchi jjigae are extra charge but well worth it. The ventilation isn't bad and overall the space is very clean. There were only two servers working so place in your orders ahead of time.

AYCE KBBQ spot in La Habra! Amazing quality and value. My favorite items to order are the Beef Brisket, Beef Belly, LA Beef Rib and Beef Chunk Flap. I got Menu B for $39.99 and it's perfect for me and to get more variety/options for our group. They also have a $22.99 lunch special every day! It has over 30 items and is available from 11:30am-4pm, so if you're looking for a deal, I'd definitely recommend this spot. The food was really good and the place wasn't crazy packed, which i like. It's a smaller restaurant, but i think it's perfect. But if you have a big group, they are able to host it. I saw a whole family taking the center tables. One of my favorite things about this restaurant in particular is they do have a "bar." You can serve yourself certain meats and side dishes and not have to wait on a waiter. But to be honest, their service was on point. Waiting for a waiter wasn't long at all. My second favorite is they had is the tofu stew! This stood out the most to me because it was flavorful! So i was very happy. read more

We arrived a few minutes before opening and there was already a line outside. You enter your name on kiosk, which was about a 10 minute wait. However, they didn't resolve my name off the waitlist until hours after I was already home, haha. It's a smaller than most Kbbq spots, but they have booths, which we were sat in one next to the register/checkout line, so at times there were ppl in line next to us, while we're eating. The staff were mostly friendly, but they were definitely understaffed. It was hard to get refills on the ban chan, water, meat orders. There's a buffet area where you can get some meats, tho. There's also gyoza, soups, fries and tortillas at the buffet. Meat quality was okay to good, depending. Some were better than others. The salad was in bigger chucks so you can make lettuce wraps, which I liked. read more

Came here after getting my grandma's new memory care room set up for tomorrow, so my mom, aunt and myself worked up an appetite for some kbbq. I did hear about the unfortunate event that took place a few weeks ago, and wanted to support the business so we came here. Ended up coming at the perfect time for their lunch special, $22.99/person from 1130am to 4pm Monday thru Sunday. Great seating area, service was attentive with changing our grill out periodically, great variety of meats available with great quality. My mother loved the kimchi, it was the perfect flavor of spice and tangy, and I loved their cucumber banchan myself. My aunt raved over their seaweed salad this is available at the self serve bar. Would definitely recommend this place, show the local business some support! read more

Gui Gui 9292 Korean BBQ - Strip of pork belly and one order of brisket - Barbeque Near Me - La Habra, California

Saw all the positive reviews and had to try it out. I came the beginning of January on a Saturday afternoon and they had an all day special for $19.99, but looks like they might have removed this and it's only available for lunch on weekdays now. We wanted Menu C for $29.99 because it came with soup, but because of the shortage in eggs, steamed egg wasn't an option so we opted for the special menu and paid $3.99 for tofu soup and kimchi soup. They have some appetizers and marinated meats that's self-serve at the bar. The marinated pork was probably the best thing we had here. Everything else was bad in quality. The brisket and beef belly was chewy, difficult to eat, and fatty. Even for the price of $19.99, I would rather go somewhere else and pay more. Even though it wasn't busy, the workers weren't attentive and didn't feel welcoming. Overall, I was disappointed will not be returning. read more
