Okay, this place is sooooo good I kind of want to gatekeep it because if more people go, there will definitely be a long wait. Price: 5/5 They have one of the best happy hour menus for their price. I don't know if it is because they are new and doing a promotional deal, but their happy hour menu is AYCE for around $30.99 per person before tax and tip. They have a huge selection that comes with beef tongue, pork jowl, and special items like wagyu fried rice and ice cream. Usually those items are found in a premium menu for like $50-$70. Food: 5/5 They have a great selection of meats. Their beef tongue was delicious, tender, and cut not too thin. Their marinated beef belly paired so well with their sweet sauce and aromatic spices. One of my favorite sides was their wagyu fried rice. It was a delicious umami flavor that pairs so well with their meats. They also use charcoal to cook their meats so it is extra flavorful in my opinion. The cherry on top was that they also have ice cream here after your meal. Service: 4.5/5 We had a party of 11 people and made reservations for 12:00pm right when they opened. We got seated right away. The service started off a little slow because most the tables were already filled but once they got our grill out, they took our order and the meats and side dishes came out super quick. The waiters were attentive and helped us change grills quickly. Ambiance: 4/5 This place is a little small. We had a party of 11 and were sadly split into two tables. We sat very comfortably but their setup is probably not made for larger parties. Additionally, their ventilation was not the best. When our meats were cooking, it got pretty smokey.
This BBQ spot is the Chinese version of Korean BBQ. I particularly loved the cumin powder as one of the sauce options that you typically only see at skewer joints. This made all the meat exceptionally tasty. The customer service at this place was outstanding. Our second round of tongue plate was rather chewy and so when pointing this out to our wait staff, they immediately accommodated us by giving us another fresh cut plate. Just this act of accommodation is worth commending and noted as we loved their hospitality. Some of the highlighted items our table enjoyed the most include: boneless short rib, tongue, steamed egg, cold noodles, and mixed tempura. I personally would avoid getting the pineapple. It was straight out of the can and it isn't freshly cut slices. Also, the mixed tempura plate comes with shrimp. That shrimp is definitely frozen and store bought. You can tell that the batter on the shrimp was orange and different in color compared to the other mixed veggies. It wasn't good. Overall, I loved my experience here. Food was good and customer service was awesome. Also, their ventilation system is pretty good that you don't smell horrific afterwards. I would definitely return.
MEATING my friends here was a perfect start to my SoCal Trip. 3 stars bumped up to 4 stars because our waitress Elaine was just amazing. .:: FOOD ::. We went with the middle bracket, LUXURY for $48 AYCE. Meats: Wagyu Chuck American Wagyu Chuck Eye Prime Beef Chuck Flap Prime Beef Brisket Black Angus Beef Tongue K Style Short Rib Prime Beef Belly Marinated Prime Beef Brisket Marinated Prime Beef Belly Marinated Pork Jowl Marinated Pork Belly Chicken Wings Shrimp Cuttlefish Most of the meats were pretty good, I did not have a problem with any of them. But wish it was more marbling on the meats if they are wagyu They also had a bunch of hot/cold dishes. Ones that stood out to me: Steamed egg (comes in the cutest little portion, good for one person) Wagyu Beef Fried Rice Beef Bone Soup .:: Service / Ambiance / Parking ::. Elaine was our server and she was TOP NOTCH. She was SO friendly, always checked in on us, and helped us cooked. We got seated immediately on a Wednesday night around 7pm. Food came almost immediately after we ordered. The place was dimly lit. Very classy look. The vent pulls down from the ceiling. Parking was super easy as its located in a plaza.
First time but a big fan of Meating!!! Meating is not Korean BBQ despite how the dining area looks. It's still grill your own meats at your table but the sauces and flavor profiles are Chinese. The food is cooked with charcoal and not gas which should make the food taste better. They now have Happy Hour pricing which is 7-days a week between 12-4 pm. We tried most of what's on the Happy Hour Menu. They have a big selection of meats as well as side dishes. Again, keep in mind this isn't Korean BBQ so they don't just give you all the side dishes when you sit down. Check out my pics and everyone can get a scoop of ice cream at the end (Matcha or Strawberry). Bathrooms are out around the back in the (under renovation bowling alley).
-The best dish was the kimchi squid -The dipping sauces were kind of weird, they should change to korean style sauces -I'd give it a 4 star if the sauces were better. A bonus is they have a lot of side dishes available to choose from. The meat was pretty good wish I had some sauce or pink Himalayan salt.
Do you love bbq? Do you love beef? What about AYCE? If you said yes to all three you gotta go to Meating. They grill with charcoal which is a nice change of pace from all of the local bbq spots. There's three tiers to pick from for the AYCE options with $39 being the lowest. I ordered the $39 option and I have to say that I walked out of their stuffed and super satisfied. I didn't think I would but I was really happy. You cook yourself and they change the grill pretty often. Side dishes usually are ok at most but the side dishes here were all really tasty. You don't walk out of here smelling as the ventilation is really good. Food comes out well presented. So its perfect for snapping photos. Service was really good at the beginning because they weren't super busy but as time passed it definitely got slower and slower because there wasn't enough staff to help. I would recommend the steamed eggs, beef broth, and wagyu fried frice from the menu. Would I come back? Heck yes I would come back! 2 thumbs up from bbq lover! Tips: *Shared parking lot with other businesses. *Credit card accepted. *Restroom available. *Kids ages 5-10 is 30% off *Limit of 6 items per round. *90 mins time limit. *Not all staff speaks English, we called initially to ask about wait time and the staff did not understand what we were asking.
It was nice MEATING you! Always appreciate businesses with good, punny names! With the slew of wagyu centered dining options popping up recently and all over SoCal, it seems like the market is booming with more options at more competitive prices and varied experiences. Thus far, Meating has the lowest price point for AYCE wagyu AND is unique in that they do charcoal BBQ rather than the standard flame/gas grill. It was my first time eating at an AYCE charcoal BBQ. It does take a bit longer to cook the meat, but this allows you more time to digest and enjoy your food than cooking everything super quickly and hitting a wall real fast. It also creates a nice rich, smoky taste with the grilled meats. There are 3 tiers for the meat menu and based on the number of items the best options are either to go for the $39 premium with 12 items or the $56 menu with 15 items for more wagyu cuts. It's the rare moment where I think the middle option isn't easily the best. Still, it's cheaper in comparison to the other eateries. For banchan dishes we got kimchi, kimchi cucumbers, pickled radish, lettuce for wraps, and pickled mixed vegetables (there's tofu skin in there too). For cold appetizers from the menu, we ordered crystal skin jellyfish, edamame, and cold cuttle fish (mixed with kimchi and gochujang). For hot appetizers we ordered mixed tempura (comes with 2 pieces of each: zucchini, potato, shrimp, and mushroom), the wagyu fried rice (pretty big bowl but great to share with the table and had scrambled eggs in it as well), corn cheese (cooked on the grill), beef bone soup (pho broth basically), and steamed egg (chawanmushi style with a shrimp on top). Loved that the portions for the soup and egg weren't big at all and was like a small pudding cup single serving. Moving onto the meats, the first 6 menu items are neatly presented in a box and brought to your table first. Great for pictures. They include the American Wagyu Beef Boneless Short Rib, American Wagyu Cube, American Wagyu Chuck Eye, Wagyu Chuck Flat Iron, Prime Beef Chuck Flap, and Black Angus Beef Tongue. We did multiple orders of the Black Angus Beef Tongue as it was thin, tender, and cooked fast, as well as the flat iron and chuck eye. Good cuts of meat that went great with the dipping sauces and wrapped in lettuce. The cube pieces and the thicker cuts did take much longer to cook, especially charcoal style, so keep that in mind and pay attention to any pinkness of the meats. We also ordered everything else off of the menu that was not the chicken or seafood. We ordered the: prime beef brisket, Korean style ribs, marinated prime beef brisket, marinated beef belly, prime beef belly, marinated Berkshire pork belly, and the marinated pork jowl. Pork meat was probably some of the best here and cooked to a delicious crisp. This is also one of the ONLY places that I've seen that does the marinated beef brisket. Most other places only marinate their pork or beef belly or do bulgogi. The marinate is different as well, sweet with umami taste and the beefiness of the meat really shines through. EXCELLENT customer service. Even though the atmosphere was more casual, this really made us feel so much fancier. I think there were only 2 waitresses working that night but the one who served us was super attentive and our grill was constantly changed and dirty dishes were taken away. She really didn't have to but she COOKED OUR MEAT THE ENTIRE NIGHT. Every single cut and made sure to server it to us. I have never seen this done at an AYCE place only at those pay per plate fancy places so this was a really neat experience since we got to try the meats cooked to perfection thanks to her dutiful cooking. | If you are reading this, know what we appreciate you! At the end there's ice cream and we had the option of either green tea or strawberry. Nice, cool ending to a delicious meal.
Had to give this a try a few days ago mostly because I love the name Standard AYCE situation, had the cheapest $40 Premium option, there are several categories, there are meats, cold dishes, appetizers, etc To start off, let's talk about the meats. Overall, AMAZING. I've had lots of AYCE kbbq places and while I always enjoyed it, the meats weren't necessarily the best quality. Usually they were always so drowned in sauce that you couldn't really taste the full flavor anyway. This meat, in my opinion and for the price, was definitely a level higher than normal. We had beef tongue which my date said was the best she's ever had and I pretty much agree, the beef belly, pork belly, chuck, pork jowl, all of it was really delicious, they come pretty thin sliced and maybe just grilling with charcoal is better or the meats were just better but all of it was so delicious. The sauces they give you were pretty good as well. I love sesame paste sauce but I barely used it as it was so strong it would've overpowered. If there's one advice I'd give to the restaurant it's to offer just salt or just salt with some oil too. There's a dry cumin mix that was good but sometimes I wanted an even more simple flavor The other stuff that you can order was in my opinion not as good but there are some good dishes here and there. We ordered a tempura that never came. There was a fried rice too but I wouldn't waste the room in my stomach on that if I had to do it again. It was kinda gummy and too soft which is why I guess they say to use day old rice when making fried rice. Got the beef bone broth soup, it was a tiny cup that looked totally different than the picture. The cuttlefish and vegetable mix were all slathered in the red kimchi kinda paste that is really overpowering. Like it's good, but I'd prefer to be able to control the amount i'm eating and I'd rather just have the simple vegetables. The cold noodles though were actually really good. Like the perfect texture and exact right level of chewiness. Also, do not waste time trying to grill up like the mushrooms. I just didn't think it was worth it and it took a long time to grill. Unless you're a hardcore vegetable fan, grill more meat instead. In the end you get strawberry or green tea ice cream which was good, creamy, and refreshing without any chemical aftertaste. Overall, I think the meats were terrific and the reason why I'll be coming back. The other items were very hit and miss. And as far as overall value, I thought it was pretty good. The experience is similar to KBBQ and while it is a little more expensive than your standard $30 AYCE KBBQ, I think the $40 price was actually quite reasonable for the quality that I got. I would definitely come back again and I'd highly recommend you give it a try
Saw this new place pop up on Yelp - the word is that this place has some pretty good all you can eat Chinese style barbecue. Came on a Saturday at 6pm. No wait it was kinda empty, but that's okay better for us. Right when we sat down they immediately brought us charcoal for the grill and side dishes to eat. I ordered the least expensive option for $38 per person which is labeled premium. Actually the first round of meat you don't order as they will bring you a box full of different meat to try, after this round, you can order the meat that you like on the side. You can order side dishes like steamed eggs and cold noodles. They give you some different sauces and a powder to dip the meat. I really like this place the charcoal gives the meat a nice flavor - the charcoals are nice and hot it really cooks the meat perfectly. The meat quality for premium was really good imo, as for the service it wasn't spectacular - definitely needs improvement. I had a great meating experience will be back again.
We've always wanted to try Meating since they opened. Charcoal grilled BBQ, why not? Read up on reviews here and saw it was not KBBQ but we didn't mind. We chose the Ultimate and were very satisfied, loved the short ribs and chuck eye!!! The sides we chose were delicious too (to mention that custardy steamed egg). Over all - will meet you again Meating (HAH)!!!
This is a new addition in Monterey Park to the AYCE Asian BBQ dining world, but the angle is this really doesn't seem to be a Korean BBQ joint as much as a Chinese interpretation of a KBBQ joint. Some may find this interesting, like I did, and some may not find themselves a fan, as the missus was when we went. They do a lot of the dishes differently. For instance, they have the world's tiniest steamed eggs with a shrimp baked into it. It's like two scoops and you're done. They also offer odd items like steaming baked bread, which is just buttered sliced dough you cook on the grill by yourself??? Yeah, odd. The dipping sauces are different than you'd find at a KBBQ place, but I thought they were good. The beef wagyu fried rice was really good. They have lettuce wraps (lord knows why so many KBBQ don't offer sanchu leaves and bean dip - even places like Ook Kook, which used to have lettuce wraps, refuses to bring them back since the pandemic as if they are a huge expenditure), however they don't have the bean dip to put inside the lettuce wrap with the meat. They offer other unique items for most AYCE joints like mixed tempura. That's a nice addition. The ban chan are pretty much the same as any other KBBQ place you'll find. The meats turned out to be where the missus and I disagreed. I think the meats were all good quality and enjoyed the experience. She loved the American Wagyu Chuck Eye, but didn't love the prime beef brisket or prime beef belly. We usually don't eat wagyu, so I think it was simply her experiencing something new of higher quality and then feeling the other two meats we basically kept to all night along with the wagyu was not as good. I don't think you can judge it that way. Just be thankful they offer the wagyu on the AYCE menu at all. Personally, I liked the place a good deal. There is also complimentary ice cream at the end. They have a lot, so parking is easy. They aren't terribly busy, at least on a weeknight, and service is friendly and attentive. It's also got nice dark decor. I say give it a shot, but go in knowing that it's going to be noticeably different than a KBBQ place. Really go in thinking it's like Chinese KBBQ. I will be back!

I think this place definitely deserves a 4 1/2 to 5 stars. I came today on Friday 8/11 with a group at 6 and there was no wait. During our meal, it almost became full, but maybe 1 or 2 tables still open. This place 100% deserves to have a line. From past reviews, I had very low anticipations with people saying service is slow, meat takes forever to come out and how the staff does not speak English. Service was impeccable and they may have only forgotten that we asked for water once. Meats came out in a timely matter, which may have been because the restaurant was not full, but that was my experience. Yes, the staff does not speak much English, but enough for you to order. They also had 1 lady that did speak English pretty well, and she was helpful. A change from previous reviews. 1. I ordered the Ultimate and was expecting to be served the box with preset meats, but was surprised when the server said I had to order. No problem at all, which is fine. As I was expecting the box, I was a little unsure so I just ordered the top 8 meats. If you get the Ultimate, I'd skip some of the meats. Definitely fill up on the short ribs / cubes / beef tongue. BE AWARE THAT THE QUANTITY OF MEAT PER ORDER IS MORE THAN OTHER PLACES. I'D RECOMMEND COMING WITH 4 PEOPLE EXACTLY. 1. The Wagyu Short Rib were 100% the best cut of meat you could order. This melted in your mouth, but it's extremely fatty so we had only about 3 orders of this. 2. The beef tongue was the best that I've had. It was not chewy like others, but more of a crunch texture. I'm not a fan of beef tongue, but this changed me. 3. Wagyu Cubes - Very delicious and had a slightly firmer texture than the short ribs. 4. Chuck Eye - Delicious as well. 5. Short Ribs - Was a miss, meat was a bit tough. 6. Flat Iron / Chuck Flap - Was a bit tough. 7. Pork Jawl - Good 8. Shrimps - Did not fall off the shell, but grill gave it a nice flavor. Not bad. For appetizers 1. Beef Bone Soup - Very light and clean. 2. Steamed Egg - Comes in a very single portion serving cup. It was very silky with a shrimp on top. I'd recommend. 3. Cold Noodles - 100% BEST NOODLES I'VE EVER HAD AT AN AYCE. It was super citrusy, noodles were perfect and a great balance to the fat. There was a photo of cold noodles here before AND THE ONES NOW LOOK NOTHING LIKE IT. It was so full of ingredients and flavor. I cannot believe I'm saying that IT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH NOODLES. Get this. I think we had 5 or 6 orders of this. The server was even surprised. 4. Skin Jelly - No comments, was very interesting. Don't hate or like it. Overall, everyone in our party was extremely happy and pleasantly surprised. They also had ice cream (strawberry or matcha). Both were great. It was super soft and not those single serve prepacked ones. I would come back again in a heartbeat, in a few months, after the fat digests. read more

Came here with my family, 6 of us for one table. It was mind of packed (i think 5 would have been better) but nonetheless we got seated. Newly renovated so it looked really nice inside. They are a new restaurant so I always give the service the benefit of the doubt. New businesses always have to work out kinks before getting it right. They start off with a box full of all the meats which was a really nice display. Then we got to try all the different meat they had to offer. One thing I wasnt a fan of was the grill, but thats just personal preference. My brother was fine with it since it is for the charcol flavor. I just dont like it cause its hard to get the meat off, esp when you hungry Overall, grea read more

Hands down the best AYCE kbbq I've ever been to! I opted into the ultimate menu! It's a little pricier but definitely worth it! The meat options were so delicious and tender. I especially loved the Wagyu cubes! Also I loved how the side food items you order at this place give you a small portion so it doesn't fill you up too much while eating the meats. Super great service as well! Will definitely be back! read more

Came here with my mom on a Friday night, arrived at 8:20PM. It was close to a full house with 2-3 open tables, took around 5 minutes to get seated. Sat around for another 5 minutes until someone came over to take our order. A male server came over and took our drink order, only Tsing Dao and Sapporo was available in terms of alcohol. Before we ordered any meat, our server explained that we are not allowed to order for the first round of meat. They said it they would bring a box with 6 different varieties of meat, and we would be able to order freely afterwards. Limits appetizers and staples are 2 orders each time. We ordered the box, Jelly, Cold noodles, and an order of steam egg. Our server told us it would take 30 minutes for the cold noodles and 5-10 minutes for the steam egg, we said we still wanted them. The water and beer came in a couple minutes after we ordered. Immediately after, our server dropped off the side dishes: kimchi salad, radish, salad, and pickled cucumbers. The jelly and cold noodles came out within 5 minutes. Happy it came early but wondering why the server told us it'd take half an hour. Lol 10 minutes go by, no one checks on us and everyone working is avoiding eye contact. I wave our server down and ask to check on our food. He said it's coming and hurried off. 10 minutes go by and my mom is complaining about the wait for RAW meat to come out. I was a little more patient since I finished my cold noodles and the jelly while we waited for our food. Mom stopped drinking the beer since the food hasn't came. another 5 minutes go by, another server asks us if we have ordered. We said yes and she said she'd go check. Another 10 minutes go by, I ask our server if the food is coming and he tells us they are just getting started putting the stuff together... I asked our server to calculate what we ate and to get me a check since my mom just wanted to go home and rest. No apologies, just tells us we don't need to pay and we can just leave. So that's what we did. One star for the food that actually made it to our table: side dishes, cold noodles, jelly, and our drinks. Unfortunately, we didn't get try any of their meats and no follow through on the service side. Horrible service, maybe just bad luck. Ambiance is loud and the lighting inside is relatively dim. Ventilation isn't great, prepare to be hot boxed. read more

Dear Jami， Thank you for your good feedback to us, looking forward to…
This was a great all you can eat bbq spot. I love that it's different from normal Korean bbq flavors since this place has a Chinese bbq twist on it. The meat quality was great and I opted for the lower menu. They've got the best quality beef tongue in the are for all you can eat. That was definitely my favorite cut. Their brisket is thick cut unlike kbbq places and their beef belly was great quality as well. The pork jowl I would have liked if it was unmarinated and if the pieces were thinner. Their portion size is pretty big if you go with only 2 ppl like I did so I would consider doing half orders if they allow that. My favorite aspect of the restaurant was they use real charcoal! It wasn't a charcoal grill, it was cooking on direct charcoal so it gave the meat great flavor. I didn't love their dipping sauce but the cumin seasoning mix gave the meat a great flavor. I would recommend their beef bone soup as well. It had a rich marrow flavor. Their steamed egg was great as well. The ambiance was lacking a bit because the restaurant is on the smaller side. However, it can be a great place to have a chiller dinner. I would definitely come back! read more

First time here because we watched Peter & Lisa Kim's You Tube Channel!! We sooooo love this place!! The food was amazing and my goodness the amount of meat they gave us, was acceptable, we were sooooo stuffed by 7th plate. Seriously! Oh!! The fried rice...don't get me going on this...I went for 2nd and 3rds!! Normally at other places I just try it once, and that's it. Their Bone Broth soup served in individual sizes, like tea cup and it is satisfying, don't want to get too full now, before your meat!! LOL! And YES!! The SERVICE...ROCKED 100% and she made sure our waters are filled and our grill is changed frequently. Super nice!! Love the ice cream they give at end of the meal!! Totally we are coming back. There are plenty of parking when we arrived around 4pm-ish. Oh! This place is nice & bright. Great decor!! So yes...when my hubby and I are in this area, this is definitely one of our go-to places now when we crave for Bbq meat!! Oh yeh! They also have the Waitlist function turned on here in YELP! Oh and we were here on a Saturday!! read more

Meating be my to try list all you can eat in sgv area. I went there happy hour today and find everything to very high level. The base level seems to focus on beef belly and everything is lighter seasoning and marination. The charcoal was bit different most place with gas. Add bit to the flavor. side dish I try was not bad with the tempura to really good with the cold noodles. Service was fast with the meat with a good amount grill change. Only reason not 5 star is for bit more now day I can get chubby cattle and all you wagyu. But price wise it really great so I likely add to to my all you can eat rotation read more

Really nice premium option in the SGV for KBBQ. Meat quality was very high and all the meats we had were well marinated. They were super attentive in changing the grill and the charcoal when it was low. They were constantly refilling water and asking us if we needed anything. I actually prefer this one over Chubby Cattle due to the much better ventilation. Will definitely come back! read more

I've been here 3 times. On this last time if you didn't tip the amount they think deserved which service was horrible forgetting half your order as mentioned in other reviews, you can hear the employees gossiping and talking trash. The tables are always dirty and the employees are forgetful. The rent is probably cheap but I don't see this place lasting very long with the bad service and entitled employees. The food is decent but fire all the employees or I'm not coming back and warning others. read more

Great food and services. Came on a Friday night, and there were a lot of people, but the food was worth the wait. Unlike most kbbq places, this spot uses charcoal to cook your food. It gives that smokey taste that other gas grill spots can't give you. If you stop by now and complete one of the following tasks, you'll be able to join as a member and get a discounted price. Jeep in mind this promotion is only available until 5/31. Also, don't forget to get your complimentary ice cream. read more

"We're thrilled to hear about your love for our charcoal BBQ…
Ok so let's just start by saying when we arrived I smelled hood Smokey bbq in the air before I got close and opened the door. Venting system good (check). When we walked through the door we looked in and it was looking pretty bumping with one open table and it was early but once we got seated, there was a line building. So for the details. This place has 3 levels of AYCE for the types of meat (premium $39, Luxury $49, Ultimate $58). We got premium. Everyone in the table must order the same level. Not even going to complain about the quality being bad or anything for the meat at the lowest. Let me just say it's seriously we'll marbled meat all the way through for the various items we ordered. They start you off with chefs choice of various cuts of meat. It was pretty amazing. The sides they start you off with is really good. The mixed veggies has peanuts and also wood ear fungus besides the rolled tofu skin that's marinaded. They also gave us the marinaded beef tongue. The styles of bbq flavors is def Chinese with the cumin and various spices like Szechuan peppercorn. I loved it! So full of flavor. We ordered several rounds of meat including marinaded brisket which I loved. Def has a great depth of flavors. To keep the heat off I also had the cold noodles which has a nice tasty broth served with half a hard boiled egg, sliced cucumbers and Chinese kimchi. This dish is similar to the Korean cold noodles. I'd def come back with the rest of the family. read more
