Work foods crew outing recommend by one of us so we went and got stuffed for $26. Lots of sides and desserts! There was all I, steak,chicken, pork, shrimp all fresh all good! Is there better? Isn't there always? But for a group outing, no miss, no fuss, you're going to get you money's worth. Chow down! The staff was super nice and helpful, the men's bathroom was clean and the music was good. I'd come here again read more

This is one of the best Korean barbecue places I have been to! I was surprised at how delicious the food is! It was packed with flavor, and I was so enthusiastic about eating it that I forgot to take pictures of different dishes. I absolutely love that you can order more food through an iPad. This allows for you to think about what you want, order what you want accurately, and take your time eating instead of having the server come up every so often to ask if you want more. You do have to pay additional money for drinks, but it's worth it because they have Boba tea! The service was pretty good, but they could be better about watching for when water refills are needed. The ambience is fun. They have tables large enough to accommodate parties of literally any size. The strange thing is that the tables don't have a lot of legroom underneath because that's where the propane, I'm assuming, is kept to fuel the table cooker. read more

Since last time I came here probably a year ago, they've switched to ordering on an iPad which I think speeds up their service time because it gets busy some times. The food is just always soooo good. My favorites are the kimchi fried rice, sesame balls, and beef brisket. My boyfriend is OBSESSED with the fried dumplings which I agree are super good. I love that they give you sauces and vegetables on the side. The seaweed salad especially pairs so nicely with everything for me. Definitely a pricier dinner but so worth it in my opinion every once in a while. read more

Ombu Grill - Grill Area with Thin sliced beef - Korean Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I love kbbq and ombu is very tasty. I will say however the ombu in Orem is a lot better than this one. This one is a lot slower and they don't have the same sauces as the south one. The interior though is nice, it's big and looks nice. Service is fine, nothing special though. Their meat cuts weren't very good. Idk if it was just today or if it usually is like this. Very chewy, lots of fat on the majority of the beef. If they don't have good sauce options then I have to rely on kimchi and salt. But I love sauce so I was pretty bummed they didn't have the red spicier sauce like they do at the Orem location. read more

I called to find out prices and was told 26 dollars however I couldnt understand what was said and tried to clarify. She threw an attitude, told me two six and hung up on me. Terrible service before we stepped foot in the restaurant. read more

I am so surprised this place has 2 stars!! Favorite KBBQ spot. Me and squad go to Korean bbq at least 3 times a month and ombu has been my favorite. We come a LOT so I feel like ya'll can trust me lol. Plus it's like $25 for all you can eat, hello! First of all, it's really clean. It's also really big so I feel like it doesn't get too loud. Service is so fast, almost scary fast lol. The staff are always so sweet and helpful. Or favorites are the pork belly, short rib, prime beef brisket, chicken cutlet (my #1), and the filet steak. The fried rice are also good, honestly I haven't had anything I didn't like. 10/10 recommend! read more

Ombu Grill - Korean Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I'd give this * * * * Four Stars (it would easily get 5 if the service waiters wasn't overwhelmed / understaffed and came around quicker and more frequently) Being from California, I can appreciate that the AYCE Prices here are about 30-40% lower than what we pay in CA, and the meat selection was good and good quality cuts too, no relegated to junky fatty or weak scrap meat that many other Korean AYCE restaurants relegate their customers to choosing from. I think this is a very good place for eating and families. The staff were friendly and professional, just not organized or attentive (neglecting coming through with items ordered or checking in to honor the AYCE spirit by coming by to add to our table's orders proactively (we have to flag them down and even remind them of what we'd not received yet). Overall, its a minor inconvenience as far as the waiting game for food, as eventually and ultimately you will get your food and be satisfied, full or even stuffed as you leave. I'd highly recommend this spot if you have the time and appetite. read more

I think this place is great if you pay for the dinner service. I went for lunch, and the service was fast. However, I think that the options were really limited in the menu, and the many of the meat cuts were very fatty. (I don't know much about meats, so o would not be too sure) read more

If you go here only order meat. You will waste your money if you get anything else. The service is okay, although the guy bringing out our food clearly hated his job. I would say it's ight but yeah if you get anything else other than meat it's a waste. The non meat items they give you a whole heap of, meat is another story. Really skimpy portions not enough to satisfy a small child let alone a large 400 lbs 6ft 5in man like myself. Just remember the house ALWAYS wins. read more

Go somewhere else not worth your money and time. Food was tasteless and bad, service was terrible, they would bring our order with 2 different meat on the same plate. I don't recommend going here. read more

Ombu is alright. That sentence about sums it up, but I'll write a little more. I would love to have rated it 3 and a half stars, but I rounded up-I try to err on the side of giving the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. First of all, the selection is pretty good-you can choose from a menu of 50 items; they ask that you limit yourself to four to begin with to avoid wasting food. I'm glad I followed that guidance, because that was all I could eat. The food comes out very quickly and is presented nicely. If you've never been to a Korean BBQ place, you might be a little lost. There were no instructions given other than how much to order-beyond that, you're on your own. Here's some tips for first timers: when the food is brought out, the server will turn on the grill in the middle of the table. Use the metal tongs to put the raw food on the grill-keep it closer to the middle/top since that's where all the heat is. Use the chopsticks to pick up the cooked food to avoid cross-contamination. The lighting is pretty poor, which makes it tricky to see if the meat is done. The quality of the food was ok. The edamame seemed a little old and wilted, with very little flavor. But some of the meat was pretty good. We were given sauces and seasonings, but weren't sure what they were, since there was no explanation given. Maybe it's assumed that people should just know. Our drinks were filled throughout the meal, and my wife ended up ordering a couple more items, which were brought out quickly. They did also switch out the grill twice during the duration of the meal. We didn't feel rushed to get out of there, but also didn't feel like anyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We even explained that it was our first time, hoping to get some sort of direction, but none was given. The bathrooms were incredibly dirty, as others have said. To me, this is a big reflection on how they maintain the entire facility-if the bathrooms are gross, what does the kitchen look like? Overall, Ombu is alright, like I said before. It's not amazing, but it's not horrible. With a little attention to the details, this could be great! read more

Price wise compared to other Korean bbq was on the cheaper end. But it makes sense why. I feel like the OMBU downtown area was better when I originally tried it. This one in midvale was okay.. but don't think I'd come here again. We were seated at a table with horrible lighting... there was soooo many other tables around light available. Thus making it extremely difficult to see if our meat was fully cooked or not. The grill itself also seemed not to be very hot so it took forever for the meat to cook. The meat we ordered seemed to lack flavor and some of it was so tough to eat. Wasn't a big fan of it. It seemed like all the meat had same taste.... Bland even ones that did come seasoned. I did not like that they had little to none sides offered like you would normally see. They did have a selection on their appetizers. I liked their tokoyaki those were good. Other than that their pork fried rice was good. Soup that is like tofu spicy soup again had little flavor it was not good.. Overall my experience unfortunately wasn't the greatest. The best thing was probably they fried rice and the fact that the food came out quickly. Other than that it was not the best. Meat had hardly any flavor and there wasn't as much of a selection as I thought. Maybe in the future they will had more flavors and have better quality of meats. read more

This is an excellent all you can eat Korean BBQ place. It's incredibly reasonably priced at just $21 for the dinner option that includes 50 items. They also have excellent boba that you can get as well. I got the traditional boba and it was sweetened perfectly with nice, chewy, fresh boba. On to the meal itself. The banchan (side dishes) are very limited. There is kimchi, cucumbers, seaweed salad, and a potato in sweet sauce. The items on the menu include a huge variety of appetizers, meats, and rice/noodle dishes. You can find the full menu on their website. We started off with your standard beef brisket and pork belly. The quality of meat was actually much higher than I was expecting. The meat was very flavorful, and there were a few sauces to dip them in. The pork belly was extremely fatty and melted as you ate it. We then moved on to the marinated items - beef bulgogi, beef tenderloin in a sweet sauce, and bone-in beef galbi. The beef galbi was amazing. A huge strip was brought to us and was easy to cut once it started cooking. It was extremely tender and the galbi sauce was sweet and fragrant. The beef bulgogi was solid as I expected - the meat was tender since it had been marinated. We tried the beef tenderloin which was surprisingly great. Cubes of beef were grilled to a perfect medium rare consistency, with a nice charred exterior. Final meat we had was beef tongue. This was so flavorful and tender, and I highly recommend getting this and not skipping out on it. We got an excellent kimchi fried rice that was filled with egg and spices. The vinegar-y, crunchy kimchi was a nice juxtaposition to the oily, hardy eggs and rice. The soft tofu and kimchi soup had great flavor and was nice to sip on throughout. We never made it to their other appetizers and meats as we were stuffed, but we were very pleased overall. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout, changing our grill multiple times. read more

Korean BBQ restaurants are popping up left and right, and with so many options out there, restaurants are doing what they can to up their game. What I found most attractive about OMBU were their prices and selection of meats and cooked dishes. Korean BBQ dinner for $21.99 all-you-can-eat is pretty darn cheap. I'm from California and prices there are significantly higher, so I don't know if this is the average price in Utah (I'm visiting and this is my first Korean BBQ restaurant). Friends treated me to dinner, and boy did we eat a lot! The items we devoured ranged from an assortment of beef and pork to shrimp, grilled mackerels, clay pot rice, cold soba noodles, cream cheese wontons, fried cheese rolls, tofu soup, cheese corn, fried chicken wings, takoyaki, and pork cutlets. The meats were fresh and plentiful and most of the dishes were great too! For this, they deserve a rating. On the downside, we arrived at dinner early, around 5:30pm, and they were already out of calamari. I felt this may have been poor planning on management's part. If it's later in the evening then I can understand being sold out on a particular menu item, but 5:30pm is too early for that excuse. I felt they just chose not to serve calamari, not that they ran out. For this, I'm docking one star, so they're down to . Also, I wasn't particularly impressed that a Korean restaurant was so limited on side dishes. Maybe it's a California thing, but I'm accustomed to having more side dishes such as Korean pancake, tofu fish cakes, pickled bean sprouts, potato salad, steamed egg, and salad. All they had were kimchi, pickled radish, seaweed, and spicy cucumber. The cheese corn came wrapped in foil and served on a hot plate, and we waited for the cheese to melt but it never quite made it to that melting point. Maybe it was the cheese used, but I found it rather clumpy and not "cheesy" at all. The tofu soup was rather bland in taste and not something I would recommend ordering. All the Korean restaurants I've been to always made their tofu soup with silken tofu, but this tofu was different in texture. It was soft, but not silken. The limited side dishes, non-cheesy cheese corn, and bland tofu soup brings down another star, so now it's a rating. If all you care about is the meat, then definitely come here. They have a great selection and for $21.99 dinner price, you can eat to your heart's desire. Lunch is only $15.99, cheaper than a bowl of ramen! The selection of meat is great and the quality is definitely there! The restaurant is very clean and tables are nicely spaced apart. In a time when COVID still exists, it's comforting to dine at a restaurant where you're not elbow to elbow with other diners. The wait staff were all masked. Overall, I felt the food and service were average. While they were not bad in any way, they just did not meet my level of expectation and I was not particularly wowed. This restaurant is a good choice for meat eaters who don't care for side dishes. I just happen to prefer a full range of side dishes and expect selections on the menu to be available if I'm early for dinner. read more

OMBU Grill has multiple locations and this one is in Midvale/Millcreek UT near I15 and 72 South. Lunch is Mon-Sat 11am-3pm AYCE and you can also order al la carte as an option. $16 lunch or $21 dinner Menu is the same as the other location on State Street including bibimbap. Lots of appetizers choices and the chicken wing was surprisingly good. Overall we ordered the dinner price at lunch time and most items are good and they even have two types of Galbi (short rib). If you've never had KBBQ this is really fun to cook your own food. If you're looking for premium meat go somewhere else. Tip: the tea selection is also top notch served in a glass pot. read more

We waited a bit to get seated, but once they were aware of us, they made up for that with consistent check-ins and frequent grill changes. We went for lunch, so 1/3 of the menu was not an option. Despite this, we had our fill and then some. My biggest critique is that there are not a lot of side options, so I very much felt like a carnivore. I think the dinner option has a salad bar, and that would have made a world of difference. Overall everything we ate was alright. The bulgogi beef, brisket, cheese corn and pork were our favorites. I would advise ordering the one option for vegetables or lettuce cup and maybe do a lettuce wrap. My buddy is a carnivore and he even wanted more side options. It was packed on a Sunday, but that didn't affect much. read more

There are parts about Ombu that I love, others that I do not love. The price is on the lower end, I know what to expect, and they have a decent menu size. I can't always bank on quality, service, and cleanliness. I've been to all three locations now, and this one was pretty good. Everything was fresh and served to us quickly. Our area seemed clean, but our grill plate definitely needed to be replaced more regularly and plates taken away quicker. Overall, not the worst KBBQ but I wouldn't use this as my baseline for what to expect. Side note: don't order the cheese corn. Not sure what was going on there, but it's definitely not edible lol read more

Was my first time going to this place and went with some friends. I gotta admit the food was delicious and the service was great also enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant read more

This place is awful. No one speaks English and they greet you by shoving an iPad in your face for drinks. We ordered a couple of things by the pictures and the so called beef tenderloin was more fat than meat. It looked more like bad bacon. The chicken was frozen solid slices. We ate as little as we could and wanted to get out of there. When the bill came they charged us $25/per person including the two kids who did not even eat. Mostly because they were horrified by the whole experience. As were we. We just did not have enough sense to leave before we ordered. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant. We meant to go to KOU down the street but there was a 45 min wait so we opted for Ombu. I was really excited when we walked in. The space was really clean and open. There was no wait and the waitress that seated us was nice. That first few minutes was the only good thing about this place. We ordered drinks, meat and sides. It took forever for the food to come out. The service is TERRIBLE!!! No one cane to check on our table. We literally had to wave someone down to get service. One of the waitresses was so rude and was annoyed every time we ordered the same because nothing we ordered was coming out. We asked for 3 things, they would bring one. I'll never eat there again. I wished I waited the 45 min for a seat at KOU!!! read more

Ombu Grill - Korean Near Me - Midvale, Utah

Food was good. A lot of options and great service, we will be coming back and bringing friends and family as well!

The service: our server had the worst attitude i have ever seen out of someone. i was sat in front of the grill knob to heat it up, and every time she went to go change it she did not say excuse me, she shoved her hands between my legs and was touching me. it was very uncomfortable and disgusting for our server to be touching between my legs. if i knew our servers name (she was not wearing a name tag) i would be name dropping because that is so unprofessional and down right disgusting like i said. Food: food was mediocre, they forgot to bring us multiple items that we ordered, we were not given utensils or plates. Ambience: interior was fine and seemed clean enough. Never go to this restaurant unless you want to be pretty much sexually harassed then treated like garbage. read more

Great food and experience! $20 for dinner is ridiculously cheap for the variety of food you can get. Appetizer, entrees, soups, and salad bar are ALL included. There is an awesome variety of meat selections on the menu: beef, chicken, seafood, fish, etc. The short ribs and marinated beef are my favorite. This is a new location and it is very clean and nice. I have been to a couple different bbq places like this and this is the best price and quality. Two tips: not a good place for toddlers or small children because of the hot plate in reaching distance on the table. Also, bring a small steak knife if you want to easily cut your meat into smaller pieces. They only provide big scissors for cutting meat. read more

I was glad that an Ombu grill was opened near by...but for a place that is trying to expand...it was such a bad experience. Let's go with the good things. The food quality is the same as their original location. All the meats were good, the ready madE stuff was delicious. The sauce bar was nice and stocked. I think this sauce bar might be slightly bigger. Now why did I give this one star? Well right after we sat down, the waitress took a while to get to us. Don't know why because the place wasn't busy. After she got to us, we ordered our drinks and started ordering food. Well she didn't write anything down and started to write down some stuff. When our stuff arrive half of it was missing. Apparently she didn't put half of it in so we had to reorder half of it. Our waitress knows magic tricKS cause she would disappear for a really long time before she reappear after us flagging other waitress to ask for ours. **eyeroll**. Here is the worst part...we had a baby stroller. A baby was in the stroller sleeping. She thought it was a good idea to refill our water by holding our cup on top of the stroller and poured...well it wasnt a good idea and she spilled all over the sleeping baby. It was winter, a soaking wet baby means potential sick baby. That's a bunch of bs. So good food. Bad service. Highly recommend going to the original location or even down the street for korean bbq. read more

Ombu Grill - Grill time - Korean Near Me - Midvale, Utah

OMBU used to be our family favorite. It was definitely our go to for AYCE Korean BBQ. We were always pleased at meals we enjoyed there. However, a couple of weeks ago we had friends visiting from out of town and brought them here. Food was good as usual. Service was typical; until at the end of our time there. We did spend a longer time at the table, as we were happy to catch up and visit with our friends. However, it was MAYBE about 75 minutes? It definitely wasn't excessive, like we weren't just sitting there for HOURS past our meal and not ordering anything else. And the place wasn't super busy either. We arrived for dinner at 5:15 PM on a Sunday. One of the workers started cleaning the booth behind us and ended up squirting my friend in his eyeglasses with the cleaning solution she was using! If he wasn't wearing eyeglasses the chemical would've gotten into his eye! As you can imagine he was very taken aback. When he mentioned he was hit in the eyeglasses, the worker halfheartedly mumbled an apology. And then our original server came back to our table and blurted out rudely, "MY table CLOSED 20 minutes ago!!" Okay?! How would we know that? It was clear we had overstayed our welcome there and they wanted us out. There was definitely a more tactful way to tell us that they wanted us out and/or wanted to "close that table". We don't even want to return to OMBU anymore after this experience. read more

2.5 Stars. Customer service is a huge disappointment. If you are feeling ravenous as well, I do not recommend coming here. The food is good, but they take so long to serve it. Although the waitresses are nice, they will neglect you unless they feel like we need something. They aren't as attentive as well. One of the waitresses forgot the tea until we reminded her. They never refill the water or checked up on us. There were 3-4 group of people, but it's like they're unbothered to do their job. Left a 15% tip, but won't be coming back again. read more

Not satisfied with how We were being served today! 1. Messed up the meat order like 5 times. 2. Wait an hr to take used plates out. 3.

Terrible service here. Servers were rude and disappeared for long stretches of time. Literally had to be flagged down to wait us. they brought a tiny condiment dish, for a party of 5. We asked for extra side condiments and they pointed at the table that we still have some. Finally another waiter brought us more condiments but the portion was for ants. After that, we didn't even bother. Ironic that they advertise all you can eat yet don't bring enough food and have a bad attitude when you ask for more. I love their food but this location got terrible service. If you love Ombu, do yourself a favor and go to the downtown location for good food AND good service. The staff at this location will disappoint read more
