The eel was fresh, thick, and delicious when grilled over charcoal. It had a wonderful smoky flavor, with a lightly crisp exterior and a tender, flavorful texture inside. The service was attentive and friendly, and the banchan selection was also excellent.

Food is good. Service is way too slow. Every menu u order takes 20 minutes or more. AC isn't working well the restaurant is way too hot. I was waiting in front of fire for about 30 minutes because the food wasn't coming out. We order rice and it's not even one person portion.

best eel i've ever had. came back twice in 5 days. Super low key spot, this place needs to get more business because i'm gonna need this place to stay in business forever. Ordered the grilled Eel and cold noodles. So fire. we ordered a second eel and they gave us an extra one. The grill has charcoals in it and it really elevates the flavors. the Mung bean pancake is so crispy too. my only wish is that there was also one in Long Beach. haha

Recommended by my friend. When I first walked in, it was full of people. When I sat down, the server came right away and took our order. He gave us recommendations to what to order. 2 orders of bbq eel seemed bit too little but when we finished, it was alot. Three of us were full. We also ordered steamed egg but honestly didn't meet my expectation. We also had kimchi noodle and it was surprising good after all that protein. Sides dishes, the fresh sliced garlic and ssam veggies were refilled unlimited. At the beginning, I thought price was bit high but after I ate the food, the price was very reasonable. For serive, our waiter was super friendly, easy to talk to and very professional. I highly recommend this place if you like fresh eel.

Eel Village (장어 마을) charcoal-grilled eel and Korean BBQ. Walking into Eel Village, the air is thick with the tantalizing aroma of charcoal smoke and sizzling meat, instantly setting the stage for a memorable Korean BBQ experience. The star of the menu, the charcoal-grilled eel, arrives at the table, juicy and ready to finish cooking on your table top charcoal grill. Their short ribs are tender and flavorful. Vibrant banchan, cozy vibe, great portions. Finish it off with Cold Buckwheat Noodles. Service for our table was great. Very attentative even though they were busy. This is not all you can eat. Check out the menu and you will realise how affordable and tasty this place can be.

Ordered two orders of the grilled eel, which they said is their most popular item (one eel is $50). The service here is amazing, they threw in a third free eel for us because one of the eels was apparently small even though it looked normal size and also had complimentary stew at the end. This amount was perfect for two of us without feeling too full. This is our first time trying Korean grilled eel. They grill and cut it for you and it's nice and crispy on the outside and soft/jelly like on the inside. They gave us multiple types of wraps including lettuce wraps, perilla leaf wraps, and some sort of pre marinate perilla leaf wrap. I enjoyed it the most with lettuce and wasn't a huge fan of the perilla leaves. They also come with different dipping sauces as well (one that came with the lettuce/perilla leaves which was a bit salty, eel sauce, and a spicy eel sauce. The banchan here is also good. Parking is easy as it's located in a food plaza.

I'd never been there before, so this review is all about first impressions. As we approached, the sign caught my attention: "Under New Ownership." Outside, an employee sat scrolling on his phone. It was a quiet Sunday around 3 PM, and we were the only patrons in sight. Checking Yelp beforehand had been a bit of a letdown, as their menu featured items they no longer offer. No links were available either. We ordered half a pound of pulled pork, half a pound of brisket, and four pieces of cornbread--all priced reasonably. Their tap selection turned out to be decent. The Cali Squeeze Blood Orange was a standout, and they also seemed to carry Firestone Walker products, including 805. The staff were friendly and responsive, which was refreshing. While the brisket had cooled by the time we got home, it was still tender and flavorful--just like the pulled pork. The real surprise? The chimichurri that accompanied the brisket--an unexpected and delightful touch. Overall, I'd rate the experience as average. While it's clear they've got potential, a bit more effort could turn Wholly Smokes into a go-to spot. Leaning in on those small details would really elevate the experience.

PARKING: the restaurant has a hidden parking lot area behind with plenty of space…read more APPEARANCE: The restaurant itself is interesting upon entering. The outside is a bit unassuming while the inside looks a bit more like a "you're going to get a personalized experience." The tables were clean, the restaurant smell reflected that sentiment as well. My boyfriend and I come in and see one man running tables. After a short wait, he greets us and sits us down. Again, the grill was clean, the table didn't have that usual sticky residue from restaurants, and drinks were provided alongside some small side dishes. Presentation was already off to a great start! SERVICE: Two gentlemen took care our table. They ran the restaurant with ease and precision. I have nothing but great things to say regarding their customer service. A solid 10/10 from both my boyfriends and I :) y'all were KILLING IT!!! There was a nice dinner rush and we still received the incredible customer service. FOOD: oh my goodness! We absolutely enjoyed everything we ordered. That bulgogi stole the show for us tbh. The flavors all came together nicely. The one thing I wouldn't order again though would be the baby octopus, but that's more of a personal preference. My boyfriend enjoyed the flavor! Overall, definitely coming back for that type of food quality and service.

We were seated fairly quickly, especially for a Friday evening, and drinks served within minutes. Staff were pleasant, friendly, patient, and accommadating. The side dishes were perfect compliments to all the meats we selected. My favorites were the spicy marinated pork and beef. Pricing was reasonable. Atmosphere cozy and decor interesting. Music was not obnoxiously loud.

Matiki Island BBQ on Lincoln in Anaheim is the kind of place that makes a family dinner feel easy…read more We went for the island BBQ plate energy, and it delivered. The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

For a restaurant that…read morecharges premium prices--over $60 per serving of meat--the experience was completely unacceptable. We ended up spending over $900 including tip, and the quality and service were nowhere near worth it. Here are the main issues: Terrible Service: The female server who handled our meat was expressionless and acted visibly annoyed the entire time. No customer paying these prices should be treated like that. Incompetent Meat Grilling: For a high-end Korean BBQ spot, it's ridiculous to assign a server who clearly doesn't know how to grill meat. Poor Food Quality & Missing Items: The Bibim Naengmyeon tasted worse than instant grocery store cold noodles--it was completely lacking flavor. The Yukhoe was served without an egg yolk, and they didn't even bring out basic kimchi banchan. This place charges top-tier prices, but the service and food quality are easily among the worst. Extremely disappointed, and we won't be returning.

Tender and fatty underneath a layer of crisp. I didn't get to try the ribs but when I was cutting some up for my son it was falling off the bone! So it must have been fantastic. Tri-tip was okay, probably wouldn't get that again. It was chewier than expected. The tallow fries are full of flavor and addicting! But it's not just the food I love here. I love their entire seating area! They have so much room outdoor it's nuts. I kept turning a corner finding more seating and yet another play area for kids. There was a sand pit, Lego wall, spinning toy, drumming area, large size connect four, etc for kids to play with. It's so thoughtfully designed with families in mind and such a fun place to hang out! I also really appreciate that they have an allergen menu. It makes it so much easier to order safely.
