My friends and I have been coming for years. We absolutely love the party vibe they have inside however sometimes it can get too overwhelming sometimes. The wait can also be really long and we have waited two hours to be seated at one point. The waiters are always really nice and the meats taste absolutely delicious. They are always marinated to perfection and worth the wait. Love this place! read more

This is by far the best AYCE KBBQ I've been to. The meat quality is very good!!! Sides are all solid. The service here is also top notch. They're team works well together delivering the best customer service experience I've experienced at a AYCE KBBQ. Restaurant is rather loud with music playing, sports playing, drinks, etc. Parking can be tough though but there are options nearby. Be sure to join the Yelp waitlist before you head over as the wait here can get to over 2 hours on a Friday night! Check this place out, I can guarantee you will love it. read more

So we gotta do a review about Mr. BBQ just because we met the best server ever...but first.... Lets do the food first. My family was there for lunch as soon as it opened (I am aware of the lines specially on the weekends...so be early). We were seated as soon as we got in (which was a plus!) We were then introduced to Nathalia (more about her later) and was asked if we have been here before (we have...last time was my birthday). We opted for the dinner payce (apparently...lunch payce is only on the weekdays) but $37.99 per person is not bad. I did try ordering eggs (as it was on the menu...but to no avail...as they don't have any...like 99% of all california restaurants...can't hate me for trying haha). We ordered the food and this is where Nathalia took our orders without writing it (Me and my wife was confused as she might forget it). Lo and behold...we got all our orders correct haha. That was another plus! Everything we ordered was portioned properly and tasted great...overall very satisfied. Nathalia was very prompt, very cordial and her personality was just beaming with positivity. She is a staff that loves her work and made sure that the patrons were very happy. She also found out that we were filipino (overheard my wife saying the word "ikaw" which means "you" in english while ordering food...) and began talking to us in our tagalog language which we found so endearing. She made us feel like home as she knew things that we used to do (we were talking about street food hahaha) wayyy back in the philippines. We also noticed that she was the same with all the customers on her table and made sure everyone was taken cared of. She was just plain awesome. We thought we were special hahaha (kidding!).. She made every customer feel special which was very important. To do the owner/manager of Mr. BBQ...It was such a pleasure eating here because of the way you guys have selected and trained your staff specially Nathalia. GIVE HER A RAISE...LET HER READ THIS. KEEP THIS GEM OF AN EMPLOYEE AND MAKE SURE YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER. SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU GUYS IN THE LONG RUN AND CUSTOMERS WOULD DEFINITELY BE BACK JUST BECAUSE OF HER. I'm pretty sure all your staff are good...but Nathalia is just way up the totem pole:) I always recommend Mr. BBQ to anyone (Meh on Gen...your food and service is waaaaayy better than them) who asks me where to go for korean bbq. To Nathalia... thank you again for that wonderful service and making our day even more special. I don't want to say goodluck on the future because me and my wife know for certain that you will get that thing you have been striving for all this time. You will ace it. You are an awesome server and an even awesomer human being. You are fire! Thank you again! Red & Michelle read more

TLDR: One of the better KBBQ spots in OC. The lines can get crazy long but it's worth it if you get in line early enough. The prices are reasonable and the choices are plentiful. It's definitely a place I wouldn't mind returning to. 1. Beef Brisket: Solid, flavorful, and we didn't get a batch that started out frozen. It's not the best brisket that I've had but it's up there. 2. Marinated Ribeye: Not too sweet yet very flavorful. This is a very good palate cleanser for me. 3. Beef Belly: Use this to oil up the pan. What I love about this is that the portions are not too fatty. I still prefer the brisket over this, but I'm sure a good percentage of people will prefer this. 4. Top sirloin: Best of the bunch. Cook this medium medium rare for the best results. The meat is super tender but still offers a steaky bite and taste. 5. Finger short rib: It's salty if you don't remove the seasoning before grilling. Outside of that, it's tender and offers a different taste if you're sick and tired of the other meats. Tofu soup: It's light and loaded with tofu. The spiciness level is low and the sourness is very manageable Steamed egg: Stock standard. I would mix it quick since the bottom gets burnt if you leave it untouched when served. Notable sides: Rice paper- good Spinach- fresh Japchae (glass noodle) - solid Potato salad - kinda sweet but it's a palate cleanser Service: It's very good. Our table was rarely out of food and water was never an issue. Staff checks up on us a lot. Ambiance: It's a KBBQ place with young people in mind. The place is well lit, full of TVs, and very lively especially when the birthday song plays. read more

Mr. BBQ is one of my favorite spots to get AYCE! Been coming here for years and always had a good experience. The servers are attentive and make sure to check in whenever they walk by. The meat quality is great, I recommend the premium as it's worth the extra cuts that you get. They have lots of TVs playing so you can watch the game from any seat you're at. The vibes are cozy and comfortable and make you feel right at home if you love KBBQ. read more

Mr. BBQ in Fullerton? *Chef's kiss.* the quality of the meat was top tier juicy, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. But what really surprised me were the sides! so many spots treat them like an afterthought, but not here. Every bite felt intentional and delish. The vibes were good and the music was loud, the grill stayed hot, and the service kept things flowing. If you're looking for that premium KBBQ experience with all the flavor this is the spot. read more

Mr Bbq has excellent service. Our server Gelo was super attentative and very friendly. The food was pretty good and I wish they had more choices since you pay so much here because I was not impressed by the side dishes as compared to other Mom and Pop authentic Ajumma Korean BBQ or the meat selections. But overall its still great place to go. read more

We love this place!!! Food, vibes and service are amazing. Aaron was our server tonight and he hustled for us! We are very needy with the sides and he was so professional and generous despite our numerous requests. I can't recommend Aaron's service enough! read more

Shout out to our exceptional waitress Claire. She was very welcoming, checked in on us frequently, and took initiative to bring us things that we wanted before we even asked for it. Someone from the table beside me dropped their chopsticks, and she swooped in within seconds to bring them new utensils. I was very impressed! She did her job with genuine happiness, which made the meal so much better. This Korean barbecue place is so good! We got the more expensive menu which was $46.99 and it was worth it. I really like the beef tongue and the kalbi. They give you a lot of bonchon and every Korean barbecue sauce you can imagine. The waitress even gave us a "special sauce" which was amazing and made all of the meats so flavorful. They have some interesting cut as well, including the pork jowel which was a fatty piece of goodness. I also enjoyed the playlist they were playing. Thanks for the amazing experience! We will definitely be coming back very soon. read more

Possibly the best KBBQ experience ever especially for ones where you cook yourself (not comparing these to the ones where someone comes around and cook for you to perfection and your bill is $$$) Very great assortment of sides --- definitely got seconds, thirds, and fourths of the potato salad and onion salad!!!!!! I literally ate the potato salad as if it's my rice. Brian(?) was amazing - he apparently helped out our friends the year before AND we ran into him again. What a coincidence on my friend's part!! He was very quick with the food and refilling drinks and sides. Parking lot gets very full so make sure you have someone get on the virtual queue. read more

Mr. BBQ in Fullerton is my forever favorite Korean BBQ--hands down the best in OC. I've been here multiple times and each visit completely delivers. The meat quality stands out among AYCE spots--brisket, pork belly, ribeye, scallops, wagyu belly--they're all fresh, expertly marinated, and seared just right. Every cut hits like a premium upgrade. The service is consistently friendly and fast--servers like Alyssa or Andres bring energy to your table, keep the banchan refills rolling, and even deck out birthday desserts with sparklers and ice cream. It's attention to detail that turns dinner into an experience. Mr BBQ Yes, the wait is notorious--weekends and evenings can mean an hour to 90 minutes--but trust me, it's worth it. There's no better time to pre-sign up on the waitlist, grab a drink next door, and return just as your table opens. Clean dining area, upbeat ambiance with sports on TV, and perks like slushy Soju, steamed egg, spicy tofu soup, and complimentary ice cream put it over the top. Every visit feels energetic, social, and satisfying. Bottom line: If you're craving unbeatable quality in an AYCE Korean BBQ, Mr. BBQ is the GOAT. I wish they'd open a second location so the wait times wouldn't be legendary--but until then, I'm happy to wait. read more

Tommy is one of the best servers I've ever experienced. My fiancé and I came in 2/3 times within the month and he remembered us!

Worms worms worms! I always come here with my family, since we love it so much. BUT I got worms in my side noddles. I noticed after I was almost done. I didn't want to say anything because I don't like causing problems. But I just had to! The waiter took it to the back and came back with it and removed the worms and added zucchini. Tried to say it was the zucchini shaving. But clearly those noodles had NO zucchini in them! Very upset the fact that they tried playing it off and I was treated like I was crazy. I took pictures. Take a look! I'm not crazy! Btw my husband woke up sick the next day. So you tell me ! Crazy or not ! read more

I used to write a great review for this place, but after my last visit, I will never come back again. The food was tough and poorly cooked, and I ended up getting severely sick with food poisoning afterwards. When I tried to give feedback to the manager, instead of showing concern or professionalism, he just laughed at me. That reaction was unacceptable and showed zero respect for customers. This place is not safe and not worth your money. I would never recommend Mr. BBQ to anyone. read more

Food is way overpriced for the portions you get. I went there to meet friends i haven't seen in a while. The music is so loud you can't carry a normal conversation. Won't be coming back. read more

The wait was LONG! But definitely worth it. I'd plan for it next time and come earlier to get on the waitlist. We waited about 90 minutes. When we were seated, the food came out immediately after we ordered so everything could get started on the grill quickly. Everything was really flavorful and fresh. Some of the meats were already marinated, others came with salt, there were lots of sauces and dips to add different flavors. I also loved all the choices of sides. There were also soups and salads to choose from. Everything was bottomless. It was a fun atmosphere, they played music and brought out sparklers for people to celebrate different special events. At the end of your meal, they bring you a small cup of ice cream. Perfect ending to a great meal. read more

Wait time is terrible. Service and food is amazing. Our waiter always checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. They keep the temperature really cold inside so bring a jacket or sweater. The waiting area gets really full, parking is terrible, but overall I would return on a weekday, mid day and avoid weekends including Friday nights. read more

We were excited to try this kbbq based off of the volume of good reviews. Unfortunately it fell quite short for us. It is AYCE so our expectations of meat quality were lower to begin with. It is $39.99 per person on the weekends for the lowest priced option, it does not include kalbi but does include the rib fingers which is the cut off of the kalbi bones. I would say that the beef belly and rib fingers are decent, not at $39.99 but decent for $19.99 a person. The restaurant is very hot. Their AC either can't cool the room or they don't have it turned down enough. I was literally sweating while trying to make the best of our experience. It is also very very loud. The music fluctuates from being unbearably loud to just loud. Loud is usually not an issue for us but it was deafening and coupled with the heat it was quite unpleasant. For the price point, the quality of the meat and the overall unpleasant ambiance of the restaurant makes it one of my least favorite places to dine overall. Interestingly enough, we didn't see a single Korean diner. At a Korean restaurant that should be a tell tale sign that it's not quality Korean food. Five stars for the service! Which was attentive, accommodating and quick. read more

Very fun for a night out. Ambiance is great, loud music, and staff are always so attentive. Been here 5-6 times for my kids birthday celebrations. They love the fireworks on their ice cream scoop with 50 Cent singing it's your birthday over the speakers. read more

Had a great first time experience here. Staff were very welcoming and were able to accommodate our little guests. Service was quick and food portions large enough that we only order 1 round of meats. As visitors to California, we joked every day about going back to Mr. BBQ just because of how good the food was and the experience we received. I definitely recommend. read more

Love this place so much we always go during lunch for work and it never fails, by far the best customer service and the food is so tasty

Delicious food, amazing service, good vibes. Went here during a Disney trip weekend. Meat was high quality and delicious. They provide sesame oil, but you have to ask for it. Our server was amazing, she was so attentive and didn't miss anything. She didn't even take notes. For kids they provide a really cute tray of food with corn, rice, japchae noodles, macaroni salad, and apple juice. The best part was it was all cut up in kid sizes. Will def come back next time I am in town. read more

This was our first time eating Korean BBQ. We went for my sons birthday and his wife love Korean BBQ and so we a party of 6 waited a half hr to be seated but its very much worth the wait. They brought the food instantly and you begin to cook it all according to your liking. Everything all the meat was fresh and top quality. For our group of 6 it was $433.00 including some beers and Very much worth the money. read more

This was a surprise as I thought it was a run of the mill BBQ joint. I personally love Korean BBQ and this place hit the spot. The service as attentive and lively. Along with the atmosphere of the restaurant: upbeat with techno music jamming in the background. We opted for a pre-fixed meal that include various meats and vegetables. The concluded with a choice of complimentary ice cream. I look forward to coming back again read more

We came here because my daughter really wanted KBBQ and was willing to wait 2-3 hrs for it. They had a Yelp waitlist, so it wasn't too bad. We checked in earlier in the evening and returned to the restaurant when it was close to our check in time. Service: very good service. Probably the best service I've ever received at a KBBQ restaurant. Our waiter was friendly and memorized every order we gave him. We never had to wait long to order another round of meats. Venue: parking is available, but can be very limited because this place is so popular. Recommend parking somewhere across the street near the 99 Cent store and make sure your car does not get towed away. The inside of the restaurant is colorful, but I didn't get a club scene vibe as another reviewer described. It's family friendly and you can hold a conversation in here without noise issues. Food/drink: very good. Great selections of meats and good size quantity so we don't wait any food. Having smaller portions allows us to try more items on the menu. My kids both loved it here, so it's a win for the family. This place redefines KBBQ and makes it sophisticated and professional. It's also very clean and inviting. Definitely worth the long wait, so plan ahead and join the Yelp wait list. read more

Food is always great service is awesome!! Parking can sometimes be full but it moves fast. Luke is the best

We made reservations which I recommend since this is such a popular spot. We were seated very quickly and were grilling within five minutes. Our waiter, Adam, did a great job making sure we had a pleasant experience. Lots of choices on meat, as well as, a vast array complimentary veggies. I recommend trying it all, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great but to hard to get in - need a way to be able to make reservations by website or call in

I wish I'd take more pictures, but I start enjoying the food and forget, but this place is the absolute best. Korean barbecue not only for the vibe, it has a great music, but the service is absolutely the best service anywhere. I have been to thirsty cow, gen, rib co, gangham station, RH, and a few others. And while places like Rib Co, and thirsty Cow may have higher quality meat options, because rib co has a tomahawk and cherry smoked LA Galbi, and thirsty cow has a dry aged menu and Wagyu menu, I still prefer this place. the quality of the meat is the same. They're just missing those high priced items, but they more than make up for it with their service. I feel welcome when I go there. Everyone remembers me and my wife and my children. They're always quick and they always have a smile. They have regular beer and sake options but they also have a Mr. barbecue slushy that is tasty for people who don't want straight sake or soju. Hands down best place for KBBQ read more

Solid AYCE KBBQ spot in the OC. This place is extremely popular so getting on the waitlist is a must. Note that this restaurant requires you to be within 5 miles of the restaurant in order to put yourself on the Yelp waitlist so plan accordingly. We came here on a Friday around 5ish and we waited about 30 minutes after getting on the waitlist. I like that they have a few tables and chairs in the waiting area so we had a place to sit while we waited. After we got a table, a server came by with 17 banchan for our table - 18 if I'm counting the salad. We were ordering 3 per round from the $36.99 PAYCE menu. I like that the servings were small so we were able to try different things each round. My favorites were the USDA Prime Grade Finger Short Ribs, Baby Squid, Marinated Pork Ribs, and Marinated USDA Choice Grade Ribeye. The only dishes I wouldn't get again are the Housemade Steamed Eggs and the Fresh Shrimp. Overall, the food was delicious and the service was superb. The servers were diligent about changing the grill, getting our orders, and removing empty plates from our table. They even offered us ice cream at the end of our meal. My only wish is that the music wasn't blasting so loud in the background as it was hard to have conversations. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience and left feeling full and satisfied! read more
