    Tried Q K BBQ in Buena Park, right across from Knott's, and it was a solid experience overall. The food was good and the prices felt fair. I've had better K-BBQ, but this was definitely not bad and still very satisfying. What really stood out was the service -- our server was super nice and patient, explained the whole process, and even helped with grilling when we needed it (much appreciated since I'm still kind of a novice at K-BBQ ). That made the experience way more enjoyable and stress-free. The restaurant is big, clean, and comfortable, and they offer multiple grill changes, which is always a plus. Not my absolute favorite K-BBQ spot, but a solid choice if you're in the area.

    Decided to go here as an Xmas gift for my family. Had an awesome experience here. The service was top-tier from start to finish, super attentive and friendly. The wagyu beef belly was incredible.. rich, tender, and cooked perfectly. Corn cheese and all the banchan were on point too. They even gave us a free printed picture at the end, which was a really nice touch. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!

    the area inside was clean & the staff were very nice (though busy)! i got the supreme menu which was, of course, pricier than other places but honestly so worth because the quality is SO good. there are also other menu options available which still have good selections. the lobster (1 per person) was bouncy and fresh & the boneless galbi is to die for. highly recommend the garlic ponzu seasoning as well. lots of yummy side dishes/appetizers too. would def go again!

    I came here today on a Sunday for lunch with no wait. The service was very attentive and fast! Our server went above and beyond and even offered to grill our lobster for us. I really enjoyed the abundance of all the side dishes and appetizers for a very reasonable price! I'm surprised that the restaurant wasn't as busy for the bang for your buck you're getting!

    Great service, plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant and it felt cozy inside. The quality of the meat wasn't top tier and the portions weren't the biggest but the taste was still good nonetheless.

    + Service was good, they were attentive to our needs. - But servers tend to forget certain menu items we asked for (since they get orders by memory at times and they check other customers as well) -- so we understand it. We had to remind them about what they forgot. The beef brisket (a staple of every KBBQ) -- first thing we ordered -- didn't arrive til almost halfway of the meal. + Food was great. + The wagyu belly was sensational. + Lobster tails were good as well. - Scallops were served FROZEN -- so we weren't a fan of it. - Japchae was wayyyy too salty. + Other sides were good. - Never asked for the bill (yet) but they suddenly brought it, placed it on the table and said thank you for eating. I thought that was off. Wasn't even 90 minutes yet. - Was a rainy day. Horrible drainage system where the restaurant is. Pool of water in-front of the parking. Not sure of returning. Lots of KBBQ in Buena Park. Lots of things were "off" today.

    Amazing spot! I had my bday lunch here.

The meats were excellent. Recommend will definitely come back

    Saw this place on social media and wanted to give it a try that drew us in with lobster tail (one limited per person) and the taco kit. Arrived Sunday night w/ no reservation and no wait time. Parking is small but easy to get parking if it's not busy. Food was def amazing, we got the supreme and I must say their quality of meats is top notch: bulgogi, beef brisket, and short rib were our fav! Followed by the green sauce for the taco kit and loved the brisket sauce. Service was good; it's a new place that opened 3-4 months ago so they are getting their groove. They changed the grills frequently, refill the drinks, took away empty dishes, and asked if we wanted another round. Only down fall is they forgot my radish paper :( after asking twice but it's okay. :( Ambiance is standard and clean. Music was minimal. We will come back again!

    After a fun (and exhausting) day at Soak City, our group of family and friends rolled into Q K-BBQ on the 12th and what a perfect post-waterpark treat! From the moment we walked in, we were vibing with the decor, the music, and the welcoming ambiance. It's a fun and lively spot, but also super kid-friendly. we had a 4 and 5-year-old with us, and they were totally entertained, especially with the toy claw machines right at the front. Such a smart touch for families! We went all in with the premium all-you-can-eat option and were honestly blown away. The kimchee fried rice? Ordered it twice, it's that good. As for the meats, we had Galbi, Brisket, and Wagyu Beef Belly, and every cut was fresh, flavorful, and high quality. You can really tell when a place takes pride in their ingredients. No overly fatty scraps here, just tender, well-prepared meat that cooked up beautifully on the grill. Drinks? We tried all the flavored sojus (peach is the winner!) and even went for the makgeolli, which was like a sweet, lightly sparkling wine such a fun surprise and so easy to sip on. One of the biggest highlights though? Meeting Brandon, the owner. He's genuinely warm and made us feel right at home, the kind of host you'd happily invite to sit and eat with you. The staff kept the energy high, were super friendly, and stayed on top of everything, which is impressive for a busy weekend. To wrap it all up, the ice cream at the end was a sweet finish, and watching the kids get excited about another round at the vending machines & winning toys made the day even better. We're already planning our next visit and telling more of our friends. Thank you, Q K-BBQ, for the amazing food and truly memorable hospitality!

    Prime Q steak
    Aly H.

    I'm surprised at how positive the reviews are for this K-BBQ spot. I chose the $45 Supreme menu and was extremely disappointed by the meat quality and honestly feel kinda swindled. The meats are labeled as "prime" and the price upgrade implies that better quality meats are used, but it really felt and tasted like USDA Select. The Prime Q-Steak, which is limited to 1 order per person, looked like a thinly sliced USDA Select beef shoulder with some seasonings, a pineapple slice, onions, and quarter teaspoon of butter. I wouldn't call it a "steak" per se, because it's the same thickness as 2-3 pieces of thinly sliced pork belly on stacked top of each other. The wagyu beef belly was served with such a thick perimeter of fat that we trimmed it off to make it edible. The premium beef tongue was very lean and rubbery, which made it feel more like a Standard menu item than a Supreme menu item. The steamed egg did not seem freshly made because it arrived at our table looking deflated as if it were already sitting for a bit. Either that or they just make it really dry there. Our server forgot our water and misplaced one of our orders at another table. The cherry on top for us was the free dessert, which was freezer burnt vanilla ice cream. The best items were the thinly sliced pork belly, lobster, flat iron steak, and Korean fried chicken. The gambijjim was really tender, but the broth was too sugary. The other meats were forgettable. If you still choose to eat here, choose the rainbow sherbet so that your plastic spoon doesn't break mid scoop.

    We made reservation online; wanted to avoid the wait. Overall everything was really good. We had order about 6 ish proteins. Servers were very attentive and on it! Ready to take your next orders. Place is cozy.

    1. All the meats were good, and the lobster tail was delicious! The Korean Fried Chicken had a nice crispy batter! I also love how all the orders are small portions, so you can try many dishes! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with a dark ambiance! 3. There are plenty of indoor seatings! 4. The staff were friendly and attentive! 5. Parking lots are available in the front and back! Note: There are restrooms available for men and women separately!

    Strong Water isn't just a place to grab a drink, it is an entire experience from the moment you…read morewalk through the door. We were escorted inside and our hostess immediately started introducing us to the lore of the place: a capsized ship with the space decorated using pieces recovered from the wreckage. The room is VERY dimly lit, and we actually stood near the entrance for a moment while our eyes adjusted, but honestly that just added to the atmosphere. On the way to our reservation in the Captain's Quarters, our hostess gave us a little tour of the main room and even pointed out the bathrooms for later. Once we sat down, we met our bartender, Drew, who was fantastic. He walked us through the different menus, explained the food and cocktails, and really added to the experience throughout the night. I'm normally a whiskey drinker, so I started with the Southeast Spice Trade while my girlfriend ordered the Pineapple Whipped Colada. Both were delicious, but half the fun was watching Drew make them. You could really see the amount of care that went into the craft and presentation of every drink. For food, we ordered the chicken katsu and ahi poke nachos. I was especially excited when the nachos arrived and I realized they were made with wonton chips. I'm a sucker for wonton chips, so those were an immediate win. We obviously couldn't stop at one round of drinks, so next came the Tarobi Colada and Zombie King. Drew told us a little about the history of the Zombie King and gave us a lesson on rum, so I had to try it, plus it came in one of the coolest mugs I've ever seen. The Zombie King was easily my favorite drink of the night. The flavor was fantastic from beginning to end and dangerously smooth. I didn't even realize how much it had hit me until I stood up. Even leaving was part of the experience. We finally checked out the bathroom and the door has what feels like TEN different locks on it. It genuinely felt like I was locking myself inside the bathroom of an old pirate ship. Between the storytelling, incredible atmosphere, Captain's Quarters, food, cocktails, and especially the service from Drew, this was such a memorable night. Strong Water completely commits to its theme without sacrificing the quality of the drinks. Absolutely an experience worth having, and we can't wait to come back.

    We have returned to Strong Water several times in recent months, so it's time for an update. We…read morefirst returned in early June since they introduced some new cocktails and food to the menu. The other visits were just because this is by far our number one place. Recently added cocktails: Buzzin' Jungle Bird (Jamaican gold rum, coffee infused campari, dark rum, pineapple, lime, hemp orgeat, cane, Angostura bitters). This is a great spin on a jungle bird, with some complexity and coffee flavor. I'm usually not a big fan of coffee, but it is at a good level. Chi Chi (Whey vodka, pineapple, lime, date, honey, coconut, salt). This has a great creamy texture which I believe comes from the dairy component of the whey vodka. It is well balanced with some sweetness, and I could taste the coconut and date flavors. Lapu Lapu (Asian rum, Jamaican rum, dry curacao, lime, orgeat, demerara). It is juicy, well balanced, and served with a flaming sugar cube on top. This is the cocktail they chose to serve at their booth at Tiki Oasis recently which says a lot, try it! Thai Me Down (Barbados rum, coconut liqueur, papaya, lemon, demerara, Thai basil). It is served old-fashioned style, and was light and perfectly balanced. Those Thai inspired flavors were all noticeable. Demerara Dry Float. They added and took this one off the menu as of now. It was a balanced light citrusy drink which was served with a delicious sidecar of Hamilton 151 rum infused with banana chips. I sipped half of that and mixed the rest into the cocktail. It was served with a beautiful ice shell. I'm guessing it was too labor intensive, and took up a lot of space in their freezers. Recently added food: Ahi Poke Nachos (marinated ahi tuna, masago, avocado, cucumber, spicy mayo, furikake, green onion). This is such a tasty starter with so many textures and flavors. I love that the nachos are wontons too, and not just chips. Crab & Cream cheese wontons. Nice crisp wontons with a good amount of crab and cream cheese inside. The chili sauce and spicy mayo adds another layer of flavor, and there is a slice of jalapeno on top for a little heat. Pan-Seared Scallops. This was an excellent lighter entrée. The four scallops are cooked perfectly, and even have a little dollop of caviar on top. I liked the mix of veggies and really liked the bed of potato puree underneath. Steak & Eggs (8oz hanger steak, crying tiger glaze, Nam Jim Jaew sauce, sunny eggs, rice). I normally wouldn't try steak & eggs for dinner, but I can't resist a good hanger steak. It was cooked a perfect medium rare and I appreciate that it was pre-sliced. The crying tiger glaze and sauce were so flavorful. There's plenty of rice to soak up any left egg yolk or sauce. Recently added desserts: Dubai Chocolate Lava Cake. This was excellent, but it's definitely sweet and rich. Save some room if you plan on ordering this. Ube Flan Cake. I'm usually not a fan of flan, but I have to try anything with ube and this was good. The cake had nice ube flavor, and I liked that the flan was a little firm since the looser custardy/gelatinous texture is not for me. This is definitely a lighter dessert than the lava cake. It's not a new drink, but I also had the Naval Grog for the first time. (Lost Voyage rum, overproof white rum, allspice dram, lime, grapefruit, demerara, honey). It is boozy with nice spice notes. Other repeat cocktails enjoyed were Tales from the Black Lagoon (my favorite), Missionary's Downfall, Agave Parrot, Singapore Sling, and Serpents Grasp all of which are excellent. Their cocktails, food, ambiance, and service are always top notch. Thank you Ying, Erica, Greg, Jordan, Joey, Iris, Karen, Kyle, Joy, and John for your wonderful hospitality during our visits. We will return again soon!

    September is SepTiki month at the Blind Rabbit. The interior has been decorated tiki style, and…read morethere is a new specialty cocktail menu with eight new tiki inspired drinks. We visited a few times in recent weeks to try out some of the new drinks. El Quetzal (Illegal Caribbean cask mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Campari, lime, pineapple, cane, cardamom). This is a variation of a Junglebird, and has a nice smokiness with light bitterness. It's an easy drinker, and is served in a tiki mug with a lit sugar cube. 3 Rabbits & a Dash (Blind Rabbit Garrison Brothers single barrel bourbon, Kuleana Nanea rum, falernum, allspice, honey, orange, lime). It drinks a little boozy from the bourbon, and is complemented by nice spice notes. Let the Man'Go (Patron 100 tequila, bitter Bianca, mango, rice, lemon). I love drinks with a foam top, and even though it didn't say it on the menu, it was obvious after one sip that the foam was infused with toasted rice. Good balanced cocktail with light mango flavor and rice notes. Velvet Samba (guava, cachaca, Patron 100 tequila, lime, condensed milk). Unique milky looking cocktail. It's guava and lime forward, balanced, and has a little creamy mouthfeel from the condensed milk. Clarified Ango-Lada (Blind Rabbit single barrel Sagamore rye, Angostura bitters, coconut, pineapple, lime). It's served with a nutmeg sprinkle on top. The rye is toned way down from clarification, and it's a smooth drinker. The Cocktail of Week I believe was a type of zombie. I forgot to write down the ingredients but I believe some of them were rum, vodka, raspberry, and lemon. It is served in their zombie mug with a lit cinnamon stick and was good. Dreamwave (Empress gin, barrel aged Curacao, sherry lychee, lemon). I think this was my favorite. It has a nice tart flavor, not boozy at all and balanced. I was sitting at the bar where my drink was being made, and when the Li Hing Hui powder was sprinkled on top, it had a really nice sweet, almost vanilla-ish aroma. I asked bartender Adrian to make me a Captain's Reserve (bartenders own creation) using rum as the main spirit. He made an amazing cocktail with rum, scotch, passion fruit, and some other ingredients I forgot to jot down. It was lush and perfectly balanced with multiple layers of flavor. I hope he remembers that recipe, it was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Adrian, Ruben, and Sergio all provided great service and conversation, and they make some excellent drinks. Hosts Anna and Emma always give a warm welcome and were very friendly. There's only a few weeks left of SepTiki, so visit soon if you're interested in these drinks. Their Halloween theme will be starting in early October.

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

But be patient, you will eventually find a spot! Be careful out there. Cheers!

    Definitely make a reservation here! I believe there are only like 4 booths!…read moreWe were able to secure a booth because someone missed their reservation. You will have to go through the main tikibar (Stowaway) and walk to a side door in the back. The theme is along the lines of Pinocchio. After you enter the side door, you will be transported and see a story book. You will walk through a whale's mouth to get to your booth. There is so much to look at all around so take your time admiring the decor while you drink. The tiki drinks are different from Stowaway and are delicious! It's definitely more intimate so you can talk to the bartenders. Though since it's all booths, you won't really see them make the drinks. Overall, fun spot - intimate if you want the tiki vibes in a quieter location

    The Belly of the Beast - Pinocchio Speakeasy at Stowaway Tiki Bar, Tustin…read more The Belly of the Beast is a Pinocchio-themed speakeasy tucked inside Stowaway Tiki Bar in Tustin, and it's definitely a fun experience. You actually enter through the mouth of a whale, which immediately sets the tone. The decor and theming are really well done, with plenty of unique details that make the space feel immersive. The atmosphere is more intimate and private compared to the main tiki bar, which makes it a nice change of pace. The food menu is limited, but what we tried was good. The drinks were definitely the highlight. I had the Farewell Jimmy, Smoke the Monster Out, and Geppetto's Last Words--all three were great. Smooth, tropical, flavorful, and definitely potent. Service was okay, but nothing particularly stood out. Overall, The Belly of the Beast is a cool place to check out if you enjoy themed bars and unique experiences. For me, it's probably more of a one-time experience rather than somewhere I'd regularly return to. Still, the creativity, decor, and cocktails make it worth experiencing at least once.
