Well it was so delicious I forgot to photo the meat. I love this place and have been here close to 10 times. I did try the noodles and they were amazing. I use to skip it and just get potato salad. I also tried the marinated mushrooms that had lots of flavour too. It was super fun to show of my cooking skills. The waiter was on top of our order too. Always great service. Lunch time is the best time to go. We were seated immediately and it was not too packed. Still had a great crowd.

I'm honestly flabbergasted by the negative reviews here. We had superb service--our servers came around every five minutes to check on us and offer more food. Since it's all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, they bring out the meats and sides quickly, and you cook them at your table. The food was excellent (and as someone who's half Korean, I can vouch for the quality). The atmosphere was nice, with the doors open for good ventilation, and we definitely left stuffed and satisfied. The only small drawbacks: bottled water comes with a charge, and there's a 4% credit card fee--but if you pay with cash, you get a discount, which is a plus. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Korean food. We'll definitely be coming back!

First time at this spot. I have had Korean BBQ at other spots before. This spot does not have a large selection of meats. Not many sides or veggies to pair with the food. We were a party of 6. Did not set enough utensils for 6. Service was not good. Had to ask for items multiple times before getting it. Super smoky inside. Hood range did not seem to function well. Bathrooms were unsanitary. There was water all over in the female bathroom. It looked like their toilets were leaking. Toilets were not flushed. No seat covers. Food was okay. The spicy meats were not spicy. The tofu soup was spicy even though it was not labeled as spicy. I did not try it but my spouse got it and has a pretty high tolerance for spice. We tried almost all the meats except for the pork bellies and the spicy pork bulgogi, and seafoods. The kids liked the LA marinated short ribs the most. My daughter ordered shaved ice and asked about how big a small is compared to the large. Waitress said it's small and used her hands to show an approximate size which was an individual size. The shaved ice was an 8 inch bowl which was enough to share with the whole family. If my daughter had known it was that big, she wouldn't have ordered it. Ice cream macarons were also sold but not on the menu. They charge a 4% processing fee for debit and credit card. Will not be coming back to this spot.

We are new to Korean BBQ and found this place quite pleasant. Let's take this step by step discussing in detail. Salad bar area: the only items I grabbed were fresh onions, zucchini and garlic to grill with the meat, the cucumbers (which were super salty and I am a heavy handed salt user) and the cold noodle dish which was ok. I regret not going back and trying the other stuff. My daughter loved the kimchi! The meat portions were very generous in comparison to other places I have been to. Other Korean BBQ restaurant's that we have been to only had two flavored meat options. This place served the most seasoned meat selection that we have seen. We tried all meats on the lunch menu and the squid was very fresh tasting. My only complaint was I am a spicy person and there was no option to add spice other than jalapeño, some sort of chile oil or sriracha would have been delicious. It was definitely my fault for not asking for any of it is something they do have. Other than that everything tasted great. SMALL PORTIONS ARE AN OPTION... The "sauce plate": the white sesame oil had a really good flavor and it's my favorite thing to add to rice w salt and pepper. The other liquid was slightly sweet and went really well with some of the unflavored meats! Silken egg was super just a beautifully lucious texture and it was really enjoyed. At home I dress it up a little more, but this was good. Tofu soup: I had one piece of tofu in my tofu soup and about a half cup of mushrooms. I wish there was a little more balance, but other wise it was good. Service: We had a young female server who was very attentive, explained everything well, and was prompt with items needed. Her service was well appreciated. Grill itself: I asked to turn the heat up and the server promptly did. Our grills were replaced often and without us asking her to. Cleanliness: the restaurant was very clean. WOULD WE RETURN? Absolutely!!

This was our first time at this particular restaurant and we were not disappointed. At first we weren't sure how this worked but the server was very helpful and we caught on fast. The spot wasn't empty but wasn't overcrowded. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves

As good as it can be for Fresno! The inside is generally pretty clean and the service is pretty good every time I go. They have separate lunch and dinner items + prices. However, on the weekends, you just pay the dinner price and have access to the dinner items. $33 per person. It is important to keep in mind that you also have to pay for drinks, even if it's water! They only provide bottles of water, so you do have to pay a $1 for water with no free refills which is a bummer. They have a variety of banchan (side dishes) they offer (i.e. radish kimichi, cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, japchae, and korean potato salad, etc.) however, they do come in small styrofoam cups. While they are small, they are unlimited and the servers are also willing to bring extra! Additionally, they offer sides such as: tofu soup, steamed egg, and steamed rice! All of which are unlimited as well! Their tofu soup is literally to die for. I dream about that soup. It's the perfect spice level for me and is a great pairing for the meal. I easily put away two of these during my Shila outings. They also provide a complimentary pajeon at the start of the meal which is yummy. You can also get extra of those if you ask nicely. As for the meat, I think they offer a great selection. They have all your kbbq classics! You can pick 3 meats at a time and they check in every so often to ask if you want another round. Note: if you don't finish all your meat, you do have to pay an extra cost! I haven't been to other korean bbq places outside of Fresno, so for me, this place is pretty good! Since this place is pricy, it's even more incentive to eat your weight and food to get your money's worth tbh. I enjoy my time here and it's always such a fun experience when I come here with friends or family.

Ask the Community - Shila Korean BBQ

Are there any takeout options?

When will they be open again? :(

June 1st is what I heard.

What time is the lunch menu active?

They open at 11AM Monday-Sunday. Lunch is served from 11AM -3PM. They are closed from 3 PM to 5 PM.

Can you get sides?

Yes you can

How are the prices?

the cheapest menue is I believe $15 for lunch and $20 for dinner. Then the second menue I believe is $25 and the most expensive menue is $30. Also, on Sundays they charge dinner prices all say.

How can you justify charging a 10 year girl as an adult and how can you justify charging people by height instead of age?

Same thing happened to me with my 9 year old son. He eats no where near as much as an adult. I thought it was ridiculous

This is my third or 4th trip to Chucks. I am trying to order something different every time I go!…read more I also go at different times of the day, and of the week. The service is always excellent and down home friendly. The atmosphere is homey and welcoming always! The tables are always clean and the food is just mouth watering good!!!!! Today I had a plate of boneless ribs with two sides: potato salad and rice pilaf. My daughter had tri tip sandwich with fries and hickory smoked beans Plate. The meat tender, juicy, and fall apart delicious! Everything is just homemade delicious! I think about it when I am working! Cooking! All the time! It was noon time, so they were pretty busy, with take out orders as well as dine-in. If you have not been you must go try some BBQ, soon! Happy eating at Chuck's!

Lean in for the YUM 'case the FOOD here is deLiCiOUS! Caving a bacon cheeseburger today after seeing the pics. Glad I did. Had to try the p-salad as I needed some carbs after the gym. Glad I did! The quality of the bacon cheeseburger, the taste, thickness, char was fantastic. Nice and THICK/juicy. P-salad was cooked properly and had a nice fresh taste. Suggestions/personal preferences: Onion: IF a customer is specifically asking to 'add raw onion,' you should assume that they LIKE onion... without overcompensating understand that it's not always just the taste some are looking for but the TEXTURES! Into textures here! And yeah, then taste. Mayo: IF a customer asks specifically about mayo, wanting it on BOTH sides of the bun, you might assume, 'Guy like's mayo' and firm that up a bit more. Perhaps offer extra on the side. (On-going Dream Burger) Standards for me, start with the dressing of the bun. I could hardly taste the mayo. It was on so thin! Way important here, I NEED that spread edge to edge on both sides and thicker, please. **please don't include packs of ketchup as I didn't request and don't use them. Hate tossing things without using but got 'juicy burger juice' on 'em. :) P-Salad: While tasty, might experiment with some pickles, even chopped olives. Again texture differences and flavor. Would LOVE to have seen PAPPIKA used on top when serving. Perhaps a level #3 dump of that stuff! 'Guy likes his P!' Humm.. Whoops, not going to go there but kinda did! Yeah, some picky stuff. Next time I'll refine my order more carefully. The staff here were friendly and connected. Loved the food and will be back, 'cause you know? The FOOD IS DELICIOUS! -G

The best BBQ I've had ever. I've been here 4+ times and it still hits…read more Lines can vary from time to time, but I was happily surprised that the line was short today even for going in at noon. What's convenient is they have a posted paper at the front to tell you what they ran out of, so you know when you order. They ran out of their 2 cobblers, chicken lollipop (I usually find that they run out of this often) and pork belly today. Took 10 mins to get food after ordering. A good amount of spots to eat inside and outside. We ordered two 2-meat plates + cornbread. All in all, we had their brisket, burnt ends, tri-tip, and ribs + coleslaw, potato salad, Mac & cheese, and beans as sides. We've tried almost everything at earlier visits and burnt ends are still my fav. All meats are tasty with their special rub, as well as their OG bbq sauce on the burnt ends. No notes for any of the sides- just delicious! Also if you like some heat, definitely get their spicy BBQ sauce on the side. This will forever be my fav BBQ spot!

Ordered a two meat platter of brisket and chile verde ribs with a side of potato salad chili beans with brisket. While chile verde ribs weren't my first choice it was surprisingly really good and tender. Brisket was amazing, fall apart and full of flavor. The barbecue sauce on the side was just an added touch but honestly it's so seasoned you don't really need much. The sides were both delicious! What really stood out here besides the amazing food is the amazing staff! The owner Anthony went around and chatted with everyone like we were all friends and family. His aunt brought us honey cornbread on the house just to try which was so thoughtful ! Anthony's wife at the counter was so nice and helpful because we knew we came at closing time yet she still got us two full plates of what was available. Now helpful tip: you gotta come early ! Everything sells out fast !!!!! There are literally lines to the parking lot before they even open! Everything is so damn good people are willing to line up at 10am. Barbecue for breakfast type good! I will back soon and plan to load up on the Texas twinkies I see all over tik tok

There's honestly nothing bad I can say about this little gem on Cedar. I've never had a bad…read moreexperience here. The tri-tip sandwich is my go to and it never disappoints, tender, flavorful meat every single time. It's great as is, but I usually add the BBQ sauce on top, which just takes it to another level. The bread is buttery and garlicky, exactly how I like it, and it pairs perfectly with everything. The pulled pork is great too, and the hot link sandwich is another solid choice, full of flavor with just the right amount of heat. This time I only ordered the rice pilaf, but I usually get the chili beans as well, they've got a nice little kick of spice. It's a bit farther from me, but not nearly far enough to keep me from back!

The pulled pork sandwich was excellent, with contrasting textures and balanced flavors that…read morecombined smoky, tender meat with tangy sauce, crunchy slaw, and a soft, toasted bun. It was succulent, saucy, and deeply comforting. The pork was rich and exceptionally moist without being mushy, carrying deep smoky and savory flavors from the slow-smoking process and well-seasoned rub. The BBQ sauce was equally well-balanced--subtly spiced, tangy, and slightly sweet. It complemented the richness of the pork rather than masking it, and I appreciated that it was neither overly drippy nor sticky. The vinegary housemade slaw added the perfect contrast, bringing fresh crunch along with a briny, acidic sharpness that balanced the savory meat beautifully. The garlic-butter French roll held everything together nicely without falling apart, yet remained soft enough to absorb the sauce. I was not nearly as impressed with the tri-tip sandwich, which happens to be their best seller, though I still enjoyed it overall. The tri-tip itself was on point: thinly sliced, tender, medium-rare smoky beef piled onto a garlic-toasted French roll and complemented by tangy BBQ sauce. It delivered smoky, savory, juicy flavors with a satisfying contrast between the tender meat and the crunchy bread, which held the juices well without becoming soggy. That said, I thought the sandwich could have used a little more meat, which likely explains the popularity of the Jump Tri-Tip -- a larger version of the regular tri-tip sandwich that adds more meat on the same excellent bread for only a few dollars more. I also felt the sandwich needed an additional element to elevate it further--perhaps caramelized onions for sweetness, melted cheese for richness, or a sharper horseradish cream or garlic aioli to add more depth and contrast. Service was warm and friendly throughout, and I was always greeted with a smile.

Ordering is done at an outdoor window--no indoor walk-in--which actually adds to the charm. It's quick, efficient, and keeps things moving.

Seating is outdoors, and honestly, it's not bad at all--especially in good weather. It's a laid-back vibe where you can just enjoy your food without feeling rushed.
