    Overall, the meat quality at Seoul bbq is decent! We ordered the premium tier which honestly wasn't necessary but my friend wanted to try their wang Kalbi and wanted the lobster. Spoiler alert: the premium tier was not worth the price, hence the four stars. Would recommend getting the tiers below premium since the quality of those tastes the same if not better than the premium tier. The lobster tasted frozen and the king/wang Kalbi was tough and chewy. Their Kalbi and pork jowl from the signature tier was amazing. Absolutely tender and flavorful. Skip the beef tongue; it is tough and chewy. On the other hand, their sides, ramen, radish cold noodles and corn cheese were delicious! Service was excellent! Our servers were attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. The restaurant is a bit small so there can be a wait on the weekends. Plenty of parking in a shared lot with other businesses. Would come back for their other tiers.

    Really enjoyed my meal at Seoul BBQ. The galbi and marinated galbi were both tender, flavorful, and definitely the highlights. The pork jowl was also really good. Service was friendly and attentive, and the meat came out quickly. Great AYCE KBBQ spot in Diamond Bar--I'll definitely be back.

    The food was good. The meats were a tad underwhelming and I felt some of the sides lacked flavors as well but the price is good, the service is quick, and it was super cute!

    Got the middle tier and the food quality was great! Our favorite was the beef tongue! Service was very fast. The sides were surprisingly really good!!

    Seoul is one of the best Korean BBQ I tasted. The meat quality are always excellent and love their big ribeye. The seasonings are great as well with the side dishes. I like the french fries offering for the kids. Overall, a great dining experience and mo wait on the weekday. Very great services and spacious environment.

    Right behind the Korean market, If it weren't for the company of my friends I would have rated this place a bit lower. Staff is pretty friendly, the work flow is very streamlined order through the iPad request small things from the iPad (chopsticks forks extra plates sauce etc) The meat came out pretty fast, and tasted really good too. Some of the issues were the floor SUPER greasy/oily. yes I know classic kbbq has oily floors it's a standard to a good kbbq, it just seemed VERY slippery. One of orders of the pork steak came out we cooked it and it tasted sour like the meat had gone bad. The restroom was a bit messy, my friend who went before we sat down said it was messy. I who went after the check saw it was messy. I'll still rate 4 out of 5 because I had a great time there. (Even though it took a while to get seated)

    Clean and fresh meat.  Love the corn cheese.

    I like the beef tongue so much! Place is hidden and not super packed like other BBQ places, kinda like it.

    Food!

    Found this place online and it did not disappoint. The service was fast and food was delicious. The meat quality was great and all of the sides were tasty.

    The ambiance was great. Lots of people having a good time. Service was fast even though there were multiple parties, everything came fresh and quick. The beef here is great compared to other AYCE KBBQ. Also the garlic pork belly is good but be careful how you cook it because the garlic pieces burn easily if you like pork belly crispy.

    The meat section was great.
    Michelle S.

    There were a lot of different opinions for meats and sides. The service was quick. The tables are spaced enough so we weren't back to back with us customers, I loved that they changed the grill often so it is not smoky

    Hands down one of the best Kbbq places I've ever been too! The quality of all the food is superb. I love that they give you a tablet and you just order the meats yourself, saves time trying to flag down your server. The pricing is very reasonable for what they offer. Next time I come, i want to try their premium menu.

    I recently moved to the area with my wife and wanted to try a local KBBQ spot. During a…read moreneighborhood walk, we saw this restaurant and felt the inkling to try it especially since there was a sign that indicated under new management. Upon entering the restaurant the host was friendly and seated us without a reservation which was very convenient since we were starving. The restaurant was clean and there were some TVs that were playing sports channels. We were given standard banchan and the steamed egg was cooked perfectly. The menu had an array of options such as prefixed combo and ala carte selections. We choose the mid level combo and wow there was ALOT of meat. My wife and I were blown away at the value of the combo because we underestimated how much brisket, bulgogi and short ribs would be coming. The server was attentive and assisted us with cooking our meats perfectly. The meat cuts were great and very flavorful so we ate to our hearts content until we were able to satiate our appetites. Overall the experience was so great that I came back a second time with my mom and brother and they enjoyed the place as well! I recommend this KBBQ spot to anyone looking for a great value and good service!

    We were majorly disappointed with the service. The restaurant's posted closing time is 10:00 p.m.,…read moreand my husband and I at approximately 8:30 p.m., which we felt left plenty of time to enjoy our meal. However, around 9:21 p.m., the staff began turning off the lights and shut off the air conditioning while we still had several meats left to cook. We were sweating and uncomfortable, as it was very apparent that everyone wanted to go home. However we felt rushed to finish our meal rather than being able to enjoy the dining experience we paid for. If a restaurant cannot accommodate diners who arrive 90 minutes before closing, it would be more appropriate to adjust the posted hours or communicate a last seating time. We understand staff want to get home at the end of the night, but guests should not feel pressured to leave before the advertised closing time. Food wasn't bad though. We'll see in the morning!

Expect a wait during dinner/weekends, but it goes by generally fast. Orders come out very quick too and the staff is constantly running around. My favorite cuts here include wagyu beef belly, short rib, rib fingers, brisket, tongue - so clearly I recommend the premium choice! Another standout is the salt selections - four choices, each with distinct flavors. The banchan and other sauces are also pretty good. Looking forward to coming back!

    My partner and I ate here the night before and we weren't going to leave a review despite the poor…read moreservice, but we've both been having nonstop diarrhea and on and off headaches since so now we're a little compelled to leave a warning. We got sat relatively fast for a Friday night and everything was going fine at first but after our first round of meats were ordered, our server would not tend to us for long periods of time. It was to the point that our grill was smoking and blackened for a long time and no one came to change it, despite multiple servers and busboys walking past to serve food to other tables. Furthermore, every time we tried to flag someone over to change our grill we never could because literally everyone actively avoided making eye contact with us and would walk away too fast to be heard. Then at some point during our dinner, our server just kind of disappeared entirely and we didn't see him for the rest of the night and he got replaced by some other guy but we never got any heads up about it, so it was just the cherry on top of an already very disappointing experience. The one silver lining was that food tasted good and the meat was higher quality than other kbbqs, but as I said in the beginning, both me and my partner have been having nonstop diarrhea since so good tasting food doesn't really matter. Neither of us had anything to eat besides Thirsty Cow that day so it couldn't have been anything else that we ate. For like $50 a person we expected much better service and no food poisoning, we won't be returning.
