Very disappointed in the lack of flavor in the food. It's is overpriced and options are limited. Our grill had to be changed three times since it kept charring. The waitress was charming and helpful but I would not recommend or return to this place. read more

There was an improvement of hospitality and service. The requests for condiments/extra food were being handled correctly and fast when asked. The food is still fresh and delicious for its value. Only complaint I have now is that they tend to run out of toilet paper or hand towel paper at the last 4 hours of business operations. The ventilation of the environment is still free of smoke since there's ventilation fans on the ceiling that pulls the smoke from the grill upwards. It's pretty cozy to dine here at night but would recommend dining in early in the afternoon to have availability to most supplies and food items. read more

Khan Korean BBQ - The first meats grilled are always like appetizers for us - Korean Near Me - El Centro, California

This place is in Yuma and is hidden next to a Panera. The service was outstanding and food was pretty good for being where it's at. Not as authentic as other Korean bbq but worth a try. Lots of food but the odd part was if you wanted Kimchee, it was extra. First time experiencing that! Our grill was changed off but we experienced a small fire, oil under the grill caused it, our waitress was calm and put it out. read more

Khan Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - El Centro, California

Really bad service. The seats were dirty. It's not even really Korean BBQ. The pillars were written with Chinese words. Took forever to get seated while there were many empty seats and took forever for the server to come. They gave us rotten lettuce and meat and didn't even apologize for it. The lettuce was also too tiny to wrap anything. All the meats were frozen. The beef tough were completely stuck to the plate because it was frozen with the plate. The squid was also unfresh that many parts turned brown. The stove wasn't hot enough and they didn't change the grill plates at all so it got all burned and black. They don't cut the meat for you or cook for you at all. They didn't give us oil to cook either. They didn't give us plates to eat with so we had to even ask for it. It's all you can eat but you can only order three at a time and it took so long to get the stuff so overall you can't eat much at all. read more

Overall, had a bad experience. I dined here when it was slow but it still took a long time to get our orders (1 appetizer and 2 dinner meals) and the server only checked on our table once. The food was decent but is very overpriced for what you get; especially with small meat portions. This may also be a pet peeve, but they seemed stingy with things like napkins or even when asking for some condiments like chili oil. At least now I know that it won't be worth coming back and I suggest to look elsewhere for better food and service. read more

The stretch between SD & Phoenix is a Kbbq dead zone. I'm talkin 300+ miles. If it wasn't for Khan Korean BBQ. This space doubles as Sushi Park, and they'll ask before seating if you're in for bbq or sushi. The restaurant is way roomier inside than it looks from the outside. Your 3 AYCE options- Standard: Items 1-8, $26.99 Premium: Items 1-18, $31.99 V.I.P: 1-27 items $35.99 You start with 3 meats, then order more as you go. You got 2 hours to stuff yourself accordingly. I went Standard. The best items were Ribeye Beef Bulgogi and Spicy Pork Bulgogi, both thoroughly marinated. The Spicy Chicken Bulgogi was ok, but the non-spicy one had no flavor. The Premium Angus Beef Brisket was less impressive than its name. The staff was friendly, but it's clear they need more help. Our Soft Tofu Stew came at room temp, and the restroom needs some attention. They were quick with grill changes and bringing out meats though. Is it a good value? Perspective: for 1 or 2 bucks more than the Standard, you'd be getting 20-30 item choices at Gen Korean BBQ or Manna BBQ, not 8. The SD and Phoenix metro areas have both those chains, not to mention other Kbbq options. If you live in this area, Khan is serviceable. If you're driving between SD & Phoenix, you're better off holding your cravings till you see city lights. read more

What I cannot stand is disrespectful people I've never been to el centro ca and it was my first time and I saw this place I love Korean food and I saw people walk i thought it was open and I hear this woman yell at me from across the parking lot and say they aren't open yet and she and another employee gave me the most dirtiest and judgmental stare ever that's already that's bad impression and now I lost my appetite. There's a right way to talk to a customer even if we make mistakes I was super respectful and she just came at me like I was a piece of shit. Wouldn't recommend coming here read more

The food and service has gone WAY downhill since it first opened. I believe the owners used to work at the restaurant with his family but has since started to rely on hire staff only. The last time we came here, we stood in the lobby for 15 minutes without being acknowledged due to short staffing. It also seems now like they also serve fried chicken? I suggest hiring more staff if you are going to be so busy. This used to be a weekly stop because we have to charge our car anyways but now we just walk over to Panera or Habit instead because the service has gotten so bad and slow. read more

As a group of 6 we had a fun time here. With favorable customer service and Korean music and TV creating background vibes it's a comfortable atmosphere. They encourage eating everything you ordered in the restaurant (no leftovers) so come with a healthy appetite! The meat specials we bought were the ribeye beef bulgogi, premium LA short ribs and the garlic pork belly along with Ramen and kimchi with the soju flavored drinks. The Waiteress even offered to help grilling the squid (you grill your meat at your table). I'd recommend this place 3 times over. read more

Visited 1/8/2022 This was quite the treat especially here in El El Centro. We started out with a sample of the house sake. Not bad. The hard part was not being able to eat more so we could've tried more of the meats. There is plenty of the food with each round considering you choose three entrées to start. The Ribeye Beef Bulgogi was spectacular in Textures, Tenderness, and marinated in a fantastic flavored Marinade. Servings are quite large. The Pork Belly was delicious as were the lovely Shrimps. The Deep Fried Gyoza (Dumpling) were also fantastic. Service was very good also with our waiter answering all of our questions and having the patience to teach us what everything on the menu was. When we're out this way again we will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Enjoy. read more

I've been to several Korean BBQ in the U.S. and South Korea. Each are unique and different in terms off ingredients and quality. This spot lived up to its 3.5 rating. The food was mid, sides weren't restaurant quality. The major issue was the stove. It kept going out and or server wasn't around frequently enough to light it every time it went out. So we ate on sides and drink while our protein cooked slower than normal. Then I told the server and they tried to tell me it was still on when I lifted the skillet and saw it was off- she had an attitude about the stove like I was making trouble. I work too hard for my money to send it in a place like this. BTW it wasn't me who searched and selected this spot. read more

Food wasn't that good, service was horrible. Took forever for them to even come get our drinks, took so long to receive our food. It was sooooo hot inside and so Smokey, I've been to many Korean bbq restaurants and this one's just not it. Surprised it is still open. Everyone's stomachs were hurting so bad when we got home. I do not recommend at all. read more

I've been here a few times, the most recent time was with a larger group of 10. It was by far the worst experience I've had compared to the last few times over the years. The food took over an hour to get to our table. The worst part is that only half of our table was served. 4 persons received their food and the other 6 waited about 45 minutes to receive their orders. A few sushi rolls and an order of ramen. The place was a little busy, but we constantly saw other orders coming out to the two tables which were similar sized party. I was told by the server that my food got mistakenly taken by another person. I informed them it's understandable and not to worry. I received my appetizer after the meal was served, about an hour and fifteen minutes from when I placed my order. I requested to speak with the waitress to inquire regarding some form of compensation or canceling the orders of food and the manager came out and told me no it's not possible. She stated it's not her fault the store got really busy at the same time I walked in. Unfortunately, I won't be going back again. read more

As my wife and I were driving through El Centro, we noticed all you can eat Korean bbq. It made us wonder what would "all you can eat Korean bbq" would look like without competition or Asian customers. Granted bases of most all you can eat Korean bbq are the same. Frozen slices of thin meat that we cook on our own. But small difference that adds up is like Special sauce prepared for dipping in meat, things to eat the cooked meat with like kimchi and pickled, Radish, quality of the meat, like not overwhelmingly fat, ventilation of the restaurant as a whole. All of the above needs more work on from this place. But here is what I liked about this place. Staff was hard working. Made sure the grill change was done properly. Marinated pork belly was awesome. Price. And the fact that beef tongue was served. Really? I could request only beef tongue and I can all you can eat that from start to finish, and I am pretty sure I will be this restaurant's least profitable customer. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend this place to our friends in Mexicali for fun experience. read more

First time trying Korena BBQ, and This place was amazing! We had two young lady's as our servers and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! The food was amazing. Teriyaki beef was our favorite with the ramen noodles. Would totally recommend this place again and again!! Priced decently too 26-27$ a person. The ambiance was nice, they had big booths for families to sit in and cook together. read more

Khan Korean BBQ - Kbbq - Korean Near Me - El Centro, California

Drove about an hour to come try this place out since we don't have anything like this in town. There are 3 levels ranging from $27-35 and each level comes with different meats. We did the standard which had a good selection but if you want seafood you'll have to pay a bit more. Service was AMAZING our waitress was so attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. Meats were pretty good as well as the sides, I've just had better in bigger cities but place was still pretty good! We also came on a weekend and it wasn't busy and we were seated right away which was great. read more

Khan Korean BBQ - Beef bulgogi and beef brisket - Korean Near Me - El Centro, California

If you've never had KBBQ before just know you'll be cooking yourself. After you get over the fact you'll appreciate what a gem this place is! They also do serve precooked meats if you want, but that takes away from the experience imo. The price and quality of meat is comparable to most kbbq places in la and oc and for being the only one in probably a 60-90mile radius it's damn good! Our server was a super nice attentive Korean lady, who did try and help us cook at times (but don't expect it). They are also super attentive in changing your grill! I try to get a grill change once I see the pan burning or after every order of meat (you can order 3 at a time plus any sides). MUST TRY MEATS! Brisket Beef tongue (different texture) Beef belly La short rib (my fav-super rich) Ribeye Bulgogi *Pork jowl* Spicy pork (bit heavy, but has a great jalapeño flavor) Chicharrones (pork tendon, will not crisp up like traditional chicharrones) Must try sides! Steamed egg (super fluffy and light!) Tofu soup (spicy soup with tofu) Sliced radish (must ask for-helps balance out the oils in the meat, like a palate cleanser) My personal preference when it comes to cooking is to get the brisket, beef tongue, beef belly, and pork jowl first. They're thinner cuts that don't feel as heavy and cook the fastest! Then I'd move onto the thicker cuts like la short rib, spicy pork, and ribeye. With the thicker cuts they have scissors to cut into smaller pieces. Make sure you cook both sides before you cut (much easier, TRUST). For the unmarinated meats, i usually dip in the sauces. My favorite is sesame oil with salt. Dip on the side so you don't get too much salt! They also have chicken and seafood options! If you get chicken just remember it'll take longer to cook since it has to cook all the way through vs beef you can eat med rare. Also you get free banchan and i love their selection! noodles, kimchi, fishcake, potato salad(mashed), and broccoli. These are refillable for free, just ask! I also like to combine ANY banchan with any meat and eat it in one bite for an explosion of flavors! I also mix the steamed egg in for a bite sometimes too! Just experiment with the flavors and find the ones that you like, you really can't go wrong. Also, try to have one designated cooker that is watching the meat or multiple so nothing burns. You can ask for an extra pair of tongs, if needed. *Pro tip- let this cook for longer, if you fear it might burn put them on the outskirts of the pan so there's less heat and the fat will render off more. You can also do this with meats that are done cooking but want to stay warm. read more

11/24/24: my family and I came in on a Sunday evening (this is my second time at this restaurant). Our server was great but we found hairs in our food. We found hair in the rice & pork. It was unbelievable that we found three hairs back to back. My whole family and I were very disgusted. We couldn't enjoy our meal and we honestly didn't want to eat anymore. The cherry on top was that the manger only discounted 10% off on 3 out of 6 meals (which was only $8 off from the $189 bill). The manager made it seem that it was us that put the hairs by the way she was explaining the chef has short hair. Which was honestly bad customer service. Not to mention that the meat isn't great quality either. I would honestly just make a trip to San Diego, as there are better quality KBBQ options. read more

Terrible service, it took 40 minutes to get 2 of the things we ordered and the another 40 minutes passed and the Waitress never brought the brisket, waitress and others didn't really know how to do their job, they didn't know how to turn the grill, today is all you can eat meat or something and they charged me 150 dollars for one small serving the serving was so small a starving dog wouldnt wanna touch it. I thought maybe it was just us but I look around to realize everyone is having problems, the waitress dropped a grill on a man twice! They had no idea how to turn on the grill took like 5 minutes for them Don't recommend coming here, unless one you wanna spend a shit ton of money on crappy food. read more

The most popular Korean BBQ in the valley! Don't think with your belly when you order, you get a lot of food with each option they have. For example: the standard package you get 3 choices of meat with unlimited sides! I gotta recommend the Bulgogi Beef, it hits the spot! read more

Decided to eat from sushi menu that is combined with this Korean bbq joint, our waitress was nice but the food was less than adequate. My first red flag should've been the room temperature miso soup, but I continued my meal and when we received our appetizer I bit into a frozen chicken gyoza, we expressed our concern with the waitress and she brought back the same plate reheated, minus the one I spit out. We decided not to eat the appetizer and they were kind enough to take it off the bill. Disappointed to know this place can't heat frozen food correctly, who knows what else goes on in that kitchen, I wouldn't recommend eating here, there are plenty of better options nearby. read more

The only K BBQ spot in imperial valley. It's a bit on the pricey side so make sure the date you're taking here is a for sure ride or die because it's definitely not something you just want to spend on someone you don't care about. The food is good. The beef melts in your mouth (pause) the chicken is bursting with flavor (pause) They have 3 different tiers and they each vary in price. Unless you're with a big group or a girl you really really like don't get the premium. However, if money isn't an issue get the premium If you haven't tried it try it, but if you don't want to I really don't think you're missing out read more

Horrible service. Happened to stumble on this restaurant upon needing to charge my car outside of the location. Service was very slow, asked for rice paper and received rice paper as hard as cardboard. Surprised to see other patrons at location. read more

For you veteran kbbqers. They got all the basics to keep you happy brisket, bugolgi, steamed egg, and tofu soup. Got to ask for the salt and sesame oil mix though. Didn't have high expectations, but I was surprised at how good it was. I forgot I was in the Valley. For you beginners, yes you have to cook the food yourself. If you don't know how, the servers can help. Its all you can eat, so don't expect to have your mind blown. For the best flavor get the LA short rib and ribeye. Overall, the restaurant has a good vibe. It's nice and cool. The servers are very nice and approachable. No wait time between servings. I without a doubt recommend. read more

First time here. Hubby and I went for lunch on Friday, the day after the 4th of July. We loved the place, the massive renovations that were done. So clean, bright, and modern. I don't remember the name of the business that used to be located at this same building (it's been at least a decade), it was a family-oriented restaurant with arcade games intended to entertain the kids ala Dave & Busters elsewhere. The staff was polite, and prompt about checking with you (if you need more refills of your drinks, or more meats, if you need a change of grill, or simply to make sure you're being taken care of). The lunch was $18.99. Drinks are extra. We loved the fresh taste of the iced green tea. Aside from meats, you will be asked to choose your sides--we chose a potato salad, broccoli (slightly pickled), and bean sprouts. We also requested kimchi. We loved the meats we chose--pork belly, beef bulgogi, spicy squid, tripe, beef belly. Everything we chose was delicious! The other customers seemed to order the beef brisket quite a bit. By the way, you do get a big plate of steamed rice. I was surprised we didn't order more meats than we did (you can ask for more, as long as you finish them all, and you can't take any leftovers home). We were more than fully satisfied with what we ate. We chose the icecream macaron sandwich as well as the tempura cheesecake (in other words, fried cheesecake!), for our desserts, which was a great ending to an already wonderful lunch experience. All in all, we enjoyed our first visit and it certainly won't be the last. Looking forward to going back. Lunch again, most probably. Dinner is $24.99 as of this writing. You do get a bit more variety of meats--for example, beef tongue, pork rind, pork jowl, plus everything that is already offered for lunch. So, I think that you get more bang for your buck with the lunch option. I hope you enjoy the photos! read more

Overall it was a nice experience -- some feedback though... although the place was empty the service was VERY slow. The rice paper (a personal favorite) was hard and inedible. They offer very good quality meat but not seasoned. The didn't offer any of the usual sides you'd expect to find in a Koran bbq. The price was reasonable for experience but the menu is limited compared to many other Korean bbq restaurants I've been too. The excess plates were not picked up from the table and the waitstaff needed to be flagged down for service. They need training. read more

Delicious food! Our server, Rosy, was very attentive and nice, food and drinks arrived super fast. The amount of meat they serve is three times what we usually get in San Diego. This is an all you can eat restaurant, and you grill your own food in the (center of the table) burner. Meat is perfectly marinated, and super tender. Prices are super reasonable for what you get, it's definitely on the lower side compared to San Diego Korean BBQ. Highly recommended restaurant for sure, we'll be back. read more

I've been to this restaurant so many times. It seemed like they have hired so many more employees. But somehow to service went downhills dramatically. I have personally spoke with the owner before however today he just simply went and ignored me.

A sad excuse for kbbq. It's standard begs cost cutting in refusal of service and long wait times. The amount of times you have to beg for a bussers attention speaks volumes to your actual server. 40 minutes for water is absurd. The low flame on the bbq never bothered us however it's plainly obvious the 1984 big boss man was watching the staff to fill their boss's pockets over the 2 hour wait time. However their quality of meat and choice makes up for a lot. However I leave this place disappointed every time read more
