    This place generally hit all the basics of a Korean bbq. We came for the lunch special, which for the price was fair. Very Self-Serve, we thankfully came at a not so busy time, but I could imagine that being competitive if it got busy. The meat quality was good, service was great, never had to ask to get my water refilled. My only tiff was the charcoal grilling was very advertised, but didn't seem available when we ate. I was under the impression that's how we'd be eating before we arrived but was given otherwise. Ambience was no frills Korean bbq.

    First time here grill

    I love this BBQ spot compared to the rest in the area. You can do what you want apart from the tables wants and needs because it is buffet style. I don't care for short ribs as much as my husband, so as he filled his plate I can focus on things I'll actually eat without feeling like I need to help him out with a set portion. You take what you actually want without feeling like you need to be dedicated to a whole serving of something you don't love. Service is quick clean and fun even on a busy night. My family came for dinner table of 6 and they helped us so fast, with drinks and switching out our grills when they're burnt. They're a few bucks cheaper than competitors in the area and their more authentic atmosphere and flavors keep me coming back Thanks

    Totally my good to spot when I am feeling like a fat boy! Enjoy everything about this place. Smaller Korean BBQ restaurant outside of Korea! But pack with quality service and menu items. As far as an AYCE this my only recommendation in the North County. Highly Recommended!

The unassuming exterior and simple but elegant interior greeted us with low lighting and quiet atmosphere. We sat at a table of 6 and immediately knew we were in for a treat. We all had the 10 course meal and although I can't do justice to describing each item- let's just say every bite is a treat for the tastebuds. You could do substitutions and add ons. I added wagyu for additional 55$ but I'm sure the duck would of been just as good. The pork too surprised me as my family raised pigs as a kid and I don't usually eat but the pork dish- with pigs that were raised with special diet and spa-like treatment/ well... the stories added to the dish. Things like pine were unexpected delights. The drinks were all amazing and we tried mixed drinks, sake, and something I rarely see and is worth noting- great mocktails. The service was outstanding and everyone was friendly, polite, knew their job, and quietly was there between each course with fresh silverware. All was completed with a sense of effortlessness. My daughter mentioned to her dad she was waiting on a drink and the manager heard and without hesitation said it was on the way/ and on the house. We chuckled as the bill of course was more than we had ever spent on a single meal, but enjoyed every minute. What struck me about ambiance is we felt as if we were the only ones there although I saw several tables on other side of restaurant. In addition although 6 of us in a circle - we were able to converse with each other with ease. Come with an open mind and be prepared for the best meal you may ever have. Pricey but worth it if you want to create a memory sure to please.

The food was hit or miss depending on what you order. Both wings was pretty good and crispy. Everything was made to order, so it came out hot, just the way I like it. The #2 Cajun sausage was perfect! The #1 original, was not it. The meat was not good. I couldn't even tell what kind of meat it was due to it's poor quality. The #16 sweet potato mozza's coating was delish, but the mozzarella on the inside was not completely melted. It fell out like a chunk. The only part that was melted was the bottom, but the batter there was soggy. This was our first time here and will most likely be my last. Not worth it.

Zzang hotdog & chicken is the Korean hotdog spot that is located in the Regal theater shopping plaza. They offer a variety of corn dogs & fried chicken. They also have a plethora of sodas, drinks & beverages that aren't widely known. A Korean street hotdog is essentially a corndog with glorified toppings & can also be made with a cheese interior. Typically, a hotdog will be placed on a skewer stick & then breaded in various toppings, such as fried potato chunks or rice crispies & then it is fried & drizzled with various sauces. This can also be done with cheeses, such as mozzarella. What you have is a great Korean snack that has aspects of salty, sweet, savory & spicy, all depending on the flavor combinations you chose to build & top it with. Also, on their menu is squid ink & various styles of fried chicken. In my experience, their fried chicken is actually very delicious and very crunchy! What I like the most about their menu is that it's affordable and everything has remained under $6 for the last 4 years. I feel that the only downside to this establishment is that it is a little small inside. But if it ever gets crowded, you can sit outside in the plaza tables that are shaded. ZZhang Hotdog & Chicken is very popular with the younger generation & with the military, and it is probably due to their affordable menu, fast service and definitely their location. I recommend trying here at least once when in the downtown Oceanside area.

For some of the best ramen that Oceanside has to offer, I recommend The Wu Lan Ramen located in the Plaza Del Oro Shopping Center, just south of the 76 Hwy. It's hidden behind the 24 Hour Fitness and CVS. The plaza has limited parking, but it isn't typically too crowded and you should be able to find parking in front of this family-owned ramen restaurant. They have a quaint and trendy ambiance and they placed a lot of care into their anime murals, which lends to a "whimsical" vibe. It's a nice blend of traditional elements & colors and modern (kawaii) accents. The interior is also spacious and has great seating for groups and is also good for couples too. Enjoy table seating or better-yet at their bar seating and you can chat with the friendly staff! They have a "staple menu" that is written in chalk on a board and then there's their menu that is very diverse. They also have a great Happy Hour menu with items priced below $8, including sake! I enjoy their pan-fried gyoza, salted edamame, miso soup, firecracker shrimp, fried calamari, chicken karaage and most other delicious dishes. Their sushi menu is also high quality grade and I feel is often overlooked and underrated. But their ramen is what shines the most! There are so many styles & varieties! There's a lot to customize and their broth is amazing! There are many tasty bowls, desserts and don't forget to grab a sake or a craft beer! I recommend checking Wu Lan Ramen the next time you're looking for some authentic ramen or sushi in the north side of Oceanside.
