Met some friends at Gus's Barbecue in South Pasadena on a Saturday for lunch and had a great…read moreexperience. It was hot outside, so the cool A/C inside was especially welcome. We were seated right away and our server quickly got us started with drinks. Since the main reason for the visit was catching up with a friend, I really appreciated the service. It was attentive without being intrusive, and we never felt rushed or hurried to clear the table. We started with the cornbread, which was delicious. For lunch, I had Gus's Fried Chicken Sandwich. A big, crispy fried chicken breast with spicy BBQ and ranch slaw, pickles, and smoked jalapeño aioli on a toasted bun. Really good. My son had the ribs and brought some leftovers home. I tried them later and they were meaty, tender, and delicious. Overall, Gus's was great. Good food, comfortable atmosphere, and excellent service. A perfect spot for a relaxed Saturday lunch with friends. We'll definitely be back. 5 stars!

GELO is one of the best servers I have had! He was so attentive and accommodating and his bright personality made our day. Bonchon variety is abundant but I really just wanted cucumber and kimchi. KIMCHI wasn't my favorite but decent. STEAMED EGG and KIMCHI SOUP side by side was also a solid combo. Dip the egg in the soup for the true Korean approved experience. The TOFU SOUP had a lot of soft tofu but the broth was just ok. Great sides to the meat and I'd honestly get them again. Go to AYCE Korean BBQ spot for the area get pretty busy!

We are returning customers, last time we gave them grace but this time we are even more Extremely…read moredisappointed. After being seated, we waited a long time before anyone came to our table to take care of us. Although our server seemed to be trying his best, the overall service still fell far below expectations. Rarely checked on us throughout the meal, our grill was changed once, and never came by to offer drink refills. The food quality has also gone downhill. The rice cup portions are drastically smaller than they used to be, and the meat quality was poor. It feels like the restaurant's overall operation and standards have really declined. For the price, this experience was unacceptable, and unfortunately we won't be returning. I don't recommend it at all!!!!!!

We got the chicken fingers and ribs, absolutely mind-blowing!! So flavorful and clearly slow-cooked to perfection. We also chatted with Pyro, the manager, who was beyond kind and friendly. Finished with the banana cream pie, which was the perfect ending. We can't wait to go back!! We totally understand the name now because holy cow, it really was that good!

We are visiting Santa Monica from Palm Springs and wanted to have good barbecue. After doing the…read moreresearch in Santa Monica, Holy Cow Barbecue was the restaurant we wanted to try. Unfortunately, when we got there, we were turns away by the cashier. We got to the restaurant between 820 and 8:25 PM. knowing the restaurant closes at 9 PM, which we felt there was enough time. Went we decided what we wanted to eat, the cashier said we can only take out and not sit in the dining room. We were so upset because we drove 20 minutes out of our way to eat there. There was nothing posted about not being able to eat in the dining room after 830PM. This is a very bad business practice and the owner should talk to their employees about turning away guests. This review represents our experience trying to get a meal at Holy Cow, not on the food because we never had the opportunity to eat there. By the way there were several table occupied by guests eating. Very frustrating!!

Not sure if it was the consistency of the ice cream but despite it being not too hot outside, the ice cream melted quickly and it got kinda messy. The donuts tasted a bit sweeter than the ice cream.

The flavors are creamy and delicious. You won't be disappointed. The service is cool, some people seem to be blah but other than that, it's great.

The meat was tender, juicy, delicious! Especially the plain brisket This place also passes the kbbq kimchi test! If you go to a korean restaurant and they have good kimchi, that's how you know their food is worth experiencing. Spicy, sour, salty; I loved it! The service was great as well! We received some complimentary rice cakes and the waitress we had checked on us often :) Some delicious items I had: Bulgogi Brisket, plain brisket, SEASONED SIRLOIN (heavy on this), and the rice. I prefer my kimchi stew more sour than salty so this place's kimchi stew was okay but I can see how people would like it! Lastly, the decor is very interesting! Worth taking pictures and I appreciate how the robot bringing food didn't sing a song every time.

What a spread! The appetizers included are phenomenal, and my favorites were kimchi cucumber and…read moresteamed egg and japchae, but of course, the price was $47 per person for ayce dinner on a weekday night so it's definitely a risk benefits assessment to come here. Service was busy but friendly, and there was some delay between orders and arrival of food, but overall the experience was fantastic. For a group of seven it is pretty awkward due to the spacing of the grills being super far away from each other, but not being large enough to feed more than three people max, to be a larger group he may end up sitting awkwardly separated by space.
