    Beef bulgogi bowl with fried egg
    Lorna K.

    A gem of a fast food business located inside of The Hangar in Long Beach, Marinate Korean BBQ is a place you should pass up. Their food is delicious and the service is fast, Fast, FAST without it being fast food! You choose whether you want your protein as a salad, bowl, or as a burrito, then pick your protein, beef bulgogi, grilled pork belly, spicy pork belly, chicken, or salmon. You have a choice of brown or white rice if you choose the bowl. Then there are the sides of vegetable toppings including Kim chee. They have various sauces too! I added more protein by topping my bowl with a fried egg! Marinate is in an old refurbished airplane hangar with tables available both inside and outside. Be sure to check out this place!

    My go-to-spot at the hangar, I usually place an order online and it's almost always ready before the estimated time. The staff are always friendly, the salad is fresh, and they give a decent amount of protein! There are many tables to sit inside and outside. Try the spicy bulgogi and ahi verde sauce :)

    Stopped by for lunch out in Long Beach with the Oakland Ballers. Ended up picking Marinate Korean BBQ and decided on the Bulgogi Burrito. This was an instant hit. Full of flavor, spicy pork with kimchi, jalapeños and fresh added ingredients. The sauce had a great kick to it. Very impressed from a fast food joint. Service was very quick and friendly. In an open fast food market style location with plenty of options. Vibe is full of different folks looking for some great food to eat.

    Chipotle but wayyyy better. They also have a kids meal if you don't want a big serving

    Bulgogi bowl! They have a kids size if you don't want a big serving that's filling. They have burritos, salads and bowls with different types of meat. Would recommend if you're wanting to grab something fast and good

    Solid place! Alexa helped me out and was super helpful in answering my questions. Big portions, and relatively cheap price. My tofu bowl ran me $14. Great service!

    This burrito was large and in charge! So many flavors. ... It's super filling high in protein and delicious!! At first I thought $20 for a burrito. And that's a little steep, but now that i've had it, I think it's worth it.Because you could easily turn one burrito into two meals.

    Bulgogi Bowl: holy cow; this is a huge bowl! Definitely worth the visit

    Bulgogi Bowl; easy service, lots of options for customization, and chill staff! Quick delicious KBBQ spot Definitely worth the visit!

    Great beef bowl. Tasted fresh and fast to order. Kids like it so it was easy to feed them

    We ordered the Salmon & Chicken Bowl.  It's such a great local spot in the LBX!!

    Great local food spot in the LBX Exchange! I would recommend getting the Salmon Bowl & Chicken . You have the choice to add all your sides & sauce to the bowl

    Raw chicken
    Monique F.

    Beware! I was served raw chicken last night and only noticed it when I was chewing. Outdoor space is so dimly lit I didn't notice till the chicken was in my mouth. When I brought it to the employees attention he didn't offer an apology and asked if I wanted a refund or a new bowl. I said I needed both he said no. After a back and forth he agreed again with no apology. Terrible costumer service and a major public health risk

    Michael M.

    Horrible customer service. Cashier is telling me he needs. To see a review before he provides me a free drink. Then says he needs to see if it's a one or two star review Also, ridiculous to charge $1.50 for jalapeños. Never again

    Cy A.

    For lovers of Korean BBQ Bowls, I have the spot for you. The bulgogi is strong with its umami flavor, a bit garlic tasting--smoky & sweet paired with the steamed vegetables that feel like the perfect Asian meal of the day. I love the inside of the restaurant because of how modern the vibes feel and the cleanliness of the place. Because the restaurant is in the Hangar Hall, the chairs would be outside of the restaurant where you order. The options of vegetables and garnish are simply shown on display--where you can pick and choose what you like. My full order is a Bulgogi Bowl White Rice and addons are onions, broccoli, lettuce, corn and Bulgogi sauce. The bowl made me full in just one bite, and honestly, it was amazing. But don't worry about how full it will make you because the choice of how you make it is entirely up to you. Lastly, the staff were so kind and gave many recommendations to newer customers. The service is absolutely amazing. I had no complaints so far in my experience. Thank you, Marinate Korean BBQ for providing me a welcoming experience. Hoping to come again soon.

    UPDATE: damn. The food is inconsistent…read more.. Got an order on a Monday night and maybe it was off but the chicken wings were funky-- not lightly fried with the taste of sauce as they had done before. the pulled pork was dry as a bone and the paper thin pieces of tri-tip were like paper. Smoked paper. The baked beans were kind of meh I do like the cornbread and coleslaw but after this I'm gonna keep looking. One BIG issue is the prices are also inconsistent, cheaper in the online app, higher in the store cash register system and even higher on the printed menu. They need to fix that because I don't like arguing over prices with the counter help... But I will. MY ORIGINAL REVIEW WAS MUCH BETTER Love this place, it's low-key and local and has killer barbecue, tasty sides and more. Staff is super nice and friendly, I just call in my order and it's ready in minutes. So far I've only gotten the wings and SMOKED CHICKEN YUMMM plus sides like mac & cheese, coleslaw and greens are delicious. And I love their cornbread, it's generous and freezes well so you can have it later in the week for breakfast! If you have any leftovers!

    Visited the 10th's Corner location and it wasn't too busy inside. I ordered two 2-meat meals with…read morebrisket and tri-tip plus sides, one 1-meat lunch with brisket and potato salad, and a kids meal brisket slider. Unfortunately, once I got home, I realized the order wasn't correct. I received 3 mac & cheeses and 3 baked beans, but NO potato salad, which I specifically ordered with the 1-meat meal. My biggest disappointment was the kids brisket slider. It does NOT appear or taste like brisket at all--it seems to be a regular hamburger patty. I even specifically asked the young lady at the register if the slider was brisket , and she confirmed that it was. If this is actually a hamburger being sold as a brisket slider, that's very misleading and disappointing. I would like that portion of my order corrected or refunded. That said, there were definitely some positives. The baked beans were loaded with meat and had great flavor. I haven't tried the mac & cheese yet, but the brisket was VERY tender, and the spicy BBQ sauce was delicious! The food I actually received and tried was good, but for an order this large, getting the correct sides and the correct meat--especially after specifically confirming what I was ordering--matters. Hopefully the restaurant can address the issue with the kids meal and improve order accuracy.

    It has been a while since we are here. we were in the mood for bbq , so visited on a Sunday…read more Sat in the patio area because we had our dog. Although we were the only ones on the patio, it was spacious and hard lots of covered seating to keep from summer heat. They do require you to give them your driver license to sit in the patio ( we understand why lol) Our server was very friendly and helpful. I originally ordered the bbq nachos and he said the portion for the one on the menu is meant for 2 people and offered a smaller one ( half the price). So glad he did because the half one was plenty. I rather enjoyed the nacho , comes with brisket ( very tasty and tender meat). Fiancé ordered the St Louise rib n meat. He picked brisket as his 2nd meat and his choice of side was Mac n cheese and coleslaw. I didn't try his order, but he said it was all delicious. Had a lovely lunch here and appreciated our server being attentive and checking to make sure we didn't need anything as frequently as he did considering we were the only ones outside

    Disappointing Visit--Declined Over the Years…read more I haven't been to Famous Dave's in Long Beach in years and, unfortunately, I won't be returning. The overall quality has declined. Service was just okay, but the biggest issues were with the restaurant itself: tables are peeling and the bathroom was filthy with broken seats and doors. We ordered wings, which were fine but came with just two sad pieces of celery. I regret ordering the burnt ends combo. While the meat had decent flavor, it was way too fatty, and all the sides were disappointing. The mac and cheese tasted oddly sweet, almost like it was mixed with potato salad. The corn muffin was dry, the fries were bland and seemed old and refried, and the slice of white bread with the combo was toasted so hard it was basically stale. Paying $70 (including tip) for this meal felt like a slap in the face. It's a shame, this used to be one of my favorite spots, but I'll be taking it off my list.

Can't complain about that but I went there about 530 on a Sunday. It was busy. I ordered my food and waited and waited and waited. 45 minutes into waiting for my order they told me it would be right out. 15 minutes later my order still wasn't ready. I spoke to the owner and he told me that I came on a bad day because Sunday was his busiest day to which I replied that shouldn't have made a difference. Secondly, he said it was a startup and they were just getting used to doing business and I said that was not acceptable also. He said do I want my money? I said yes, which led me to believe that my order was not even put in yet. I would love for this place to make it but excuses like that should not be made. If he had said I'm sorry, but he didn't. He kept saying it was a busy day. It was a busy day, which shouldn't have made a difference to me. I hate that I have to give this one star because the food is not the problem. It's the ordering of the food. I was not rude. As a business owner you don't take criticism very well. I did not raise my voice but making excuses doesn't bode well in business. Like I said your food is excellent but customer service needs improving. I want you to succeed because you have a good product and we need you in Long Beach.
