They have a self-serve bar with a variety of food, and the $22.99 lunch deal is available 7 days a week !!! We went with Menu B, and our favorite was the marinated rib finger so juicy, tender, and flavorful! Oh yes, they also have pho! IG: socalhkfoodies

On a Saturday morning in September, my sister was craving for Korean bbq so we arrived before 11:30am. It's located in the Dollar tree shopping center. Once at 11am, we waited to get seated since we were the 1st group to eat here $22.99. Inside is small with booths in both sides of wall and round metal round tables like in Korea. Very clean with free banchan and marinated meats in the back of wall. We mostly ordered beef belly and pork belly. The banchans are good and salad bowl was yummy with good quality of meats. I enjoyed the atmosphere of listening to kpop in the background. There were only 2 servers running around and they refilled our water jug and banchans. We kept our grill with no change. More people arrived by 12 noon. We were full by 12:30. The fruit slices were refreshing and delicious.

Any korean bbq place that has food out in the buffet tends to make sick. Im not sure why i keep attempting. I always thought i had a cast iron stomach. After eating here, I definitely got sick. They are known for being very affordable during lunch at 20$, but their dinner price at 30$ isn't bad either. Nothing stood out for me as far as meat quality and taste. The steamed egg disappointed me the most bc it was burnt and was not watery and fluffy. The steamed egg tasted like an omelet. I only enjoyed the seaweed soup, and unfortunately that was from the bar. Service was great and its small and cozy inside. I only wish the food didn't make me throw up and frequent my trips to the bathroom.

Such a good KBBQ experience! Everything hit the spot, especially the galbi and brisket. Fast service, super friendly staff, and a great self-serve bar for all the sides. Perfect casual spot to hang out with friends and eat way too much food.

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.

Interior.  Not too dark like some spots in K-Town.

We came during their lunch special for 22.99. To me it's a great deal to enjoy a decent meal without the bells and whistle. I mean ordering the most expensive selections could be fancy, but i wouldn't be able to taste much of it as I am eating less as I get older. The menu may appear confusing as it highlights "server" and "bar." Server essentially means you order the meats from the waiter or waitress. There is a buffet area where you can select your own raw meats and hot foods; this is referred to the bar. They're side dishes you help yourself at the bar that is not served, like rice paper and tortillas. They also have condiments on the side like hot sauces, sesame oil, soy sauce and seasoning. The meats are at par for a typical kbbq. It's a decent place to grab a bite, hang out with friends, and if you've been in a long relationship to eat out. The interior isn't upscale and is tailored to the general crowd. Reminds me of K-Town spots, but better lit. What struck me the most was their kimchi. General kimchi is fermented, pungent, and sour. The kimchi here was crisp, bright in color, and sweeter. The sauce they use with the cabbage, as well as the cucumber side dishes, was delicious. Roll that up with meat in a rice paper and dip it in sesame oil mixed with soy sauce, bomb. I did notice there were mentioning of poor service in other yelp reviews. I did not experience that. Although they were short staff due to the slow hours on a Friday afternoon, they were attentive. We were checked on and had our grill exchanged several times. It was a great lunch deal, service was exceptional, and I got my fill for KBBQ. Be sure to tip the servers well for this great offer. Thank you for the experience.

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!

The spread. Literally has everything I love to eat with KBBQ

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.

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!

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.

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!

How do the kid prices work?

For the $19.99 menu, are the add on soups/steamed egg refillable or is it $3.99 per serving?

Hey Carla, if I remember correctly, it is unlimited and included in the sides that come with it.

Can you dine solo or is there a minimum?

You can come and dine alone. We welcome you anytime.

We came on a Saturday night at 6 and the wait for 3 was 30-45 mins. (2 adults and a 10 month old)…read moreNo problem! I had to go to the bathroom and when I walked thru the restaurant there were a lot of empty tables. Odd that there would be a wait. There was a table for 4 near the front door, without a reserved sign on it, and it was empty the entire time we waited. We were finally seated and they put us at a table for two. Meanwhile, that table for 4 was still empty. I'm not sure if you've ever spent time with a 10 month old, but clearly the hostess hasn't. They are grabby and want to explore everything they can possibly get their hands on, including hot plates on a table. Luckily, our server knew this and when a large party in the restaurant left, she brought us one of the 2 person tables they'd been using. Fortunately it also aligned with when our food was coming out so we didn't have to worry about our baby burning her hands on the plates put down on our table with a "they're hot" warning. The kitchen was really slow. I'm not sure if they were backed up, but with the amount of empty tables, they really shouldn't have been. It took at least 20 minutes for us to get our appetizer after we ordered it, which was the chile verde fries. Luckily, all of the food made up for the previous paragraphs and is the reason for 4 stars instead of 3. The Chile verde fries were so good! Not too spicy, a great balance of fries, meat, sauce, and cheese. The egg was a nice touch and made the dish feel like chilequilles with fries instead of chips. We also ordered a 3 meat plate with pulled pork, brisket, and tri tip. The pulled pork was pretty standard. The brisket was falling apart delicious and I liked that it didn't have a ton of fat in it. It was interesting that the tri tip had grill marks on it, I don't think I've ever seen that before, but it was very soft and delicious as well. For our sides we got the collard greens and mac and cheese. The collards were very high in vinegar, something we aren't used to, but my husband enjoyed them. The mac and cheese was really good! You can tell they use fresh cheeses as opposed to velveta. The garlic bread was good and really flavorful, but I do wonder why other tables around us seemed to get 2 slices per person and we got 2 slices total. Not a big deal tho, just found it odd. Overall, we really liked Steve's and will be back, as well as recommend it to people. We'll just make sure to have a reservation before we go, and maybe make it for a party of 4 to ensure we get a good sized table.

First time at Steve's after hearing raving reviews for years. Seriously, what took me so long? For…read moresome reason I thought the inside was larger but it is a cozy place, large enough for a group of two. Ordered a shareable platter which on the menu, I think it states for 3-4 but dang. I think it could feed *at least* 5-6. I would def recommend if ya'll can agree on the sides. I love Mac n cheese, I mean who doesn't, but if you're that one weirdo than opt for something else. The Mac isn't the best I've had but it's worth a try. The meats are delicious, except for the chicken. For some reason I wasn't really impressed with the chicken. Service was pretty good and easy parking in the back. After lunch or dinner take a stroll in uptown and check out the shops. Overall Steve's is solid and I'll go back.

I just hope it doesn't become so popular that it gets impossible to get a table. The quality of the meat here is SUPERB. Honestly, I'd give them 5 stars for the meat alone. Compared to other AYCE Korean BBQ places in the area, the quality really stands out. They also have a huge selection of side dishes, and everything we tried was delicious and well-seasoned. And the cowboy butter is an absolute MUST TRY! Trust me on this one. My pictures will speak for themselves! Service was excellent from beginning to end. The staff was attentive without hovering, our grill was checked frequently and replaced before we even had to ask, and everything came out clean and neatly presented. Another thing I have to mention: the floors are NOT sticky! This is seriously one of my biggest pet peeves with Korean BBQ restaurants, and this place is noticeably clean and well-kept. One small thing to know, there are no free refills on soda. But they do have a soft-serve station, which is the perfect way to finish off a flavorful and very satisfying dinner. Amazing meat quality, generous selection, excellent service, and a clean restaurant. Definitely one of my favorite AYCE Korean BBQ finds in the area. I almost don't want everyone to know about it BUT they deserve the 5 stars!

This by far is now in my top 3 KBBQ places for a few reasons:…read more 1. Location is nice and chic. It's adjacent to a golf course and views are nice 2. Someone actually cooks for you which is rare nowadays in most KBBQ. And I love that it's not an AYCE which means that they have better quality of meat. 3. The STAR of the table - the quality of their meat. I really see that it's high quality beef. The short rib had good marbling and tender and well marinated. The beef tongue was tender and the brisket was so good. 4. Great amount and variety of banchan that you usually don't get in most KBBQ. They even had fine anchovies which was a good addition. 5. The side of steamed egg was so delicious plus the kimchi stew. 6. Lastly, I love the fact that they actually use real charcoal to grill the meat!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place if you haven't tried it. Lots of parking.

FOOD: They operate strictly on an à la carte and combo menu rather than all-you-can-eat. We ordered the small beef combo--supposedly meant for two people--but because the portion sizes are so small, you end up paying more than you would at an upscale AYCE spot. Plus, unlike other Korean BBQ spots where banchans are free, most banchans here are sold separately (such as corn cheese). The quality of the meat is pretty standard, too. AMBIANCE: The atmosphere feels upscale simply because of its unique golf course location--very quiet and relaxed compared to the usual loud KBBQ spots. However, that upscale feel was ruined by the gas tank clearly visible at the table, which is quite a turn-off for a place with this kind of pricing. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Service was slow considering there was only one other table occupied (a group of about 10 people). It took about 10 to 15 minutes before someone took our order, followed by another 10 to 15 minutes for the food to arrive. The waiter himself was polite, but it was clear he was sick while serving us--we could constantly hear him sniffing with a runny nose, which was pretty uncomfortable to experience during a meal. It is a peaceful spot with nice views, but between the small portions, extra banchan charges, and overall experience, I would say - the experience was not worth it at all.
