Must try their duck bbq It's my reason to go to this restaurant! However their pork belly and eel BBQ are other options too. Top quality meat and home grown fresh organic vegetables to complement the meat equals to a wonderful meal any day and time. Healthy choice for your body!! The owner is very friendly and the salad she made was amazingly delicious read more

If you're like me and you like trying new places for the love of discovering new delicious food spots, do your best to avoid this place. I was surprised to walk in and see no customers at 5pm but after dining here, it all makes sense. Service was absolutely horrible and prices made no sense. The "sauce" bar is embarrassingly dirty. The salad was old and brown. Same goes for the salty cucumber salad and kimchi. Kids 8 and over are charged full price. Fresh veggies are free with the $70 meal. We got the B package which equaled $120 for the three of us but had to pay $10 extra for the veggies. How does that make sense? B and C menu lacked anything premium(Wagyu, shrimp, mussels, scallops, crabs etc) so you're not getting anything worth paying the premium price for. The squid was clearly labeled 2x. So you can only get two orders of squid. Thats not per person, but per table. So if you came in alone you get 2 orders. If the three of us sat at three tables and paid separately, we would each get 2 orders. Again, makes no sense. Anyways we got our 2 orders of squid and then ordered the spicy squid, which is clearly marked as a separate item on the list that also says 2 orders. We were told all squid are 2 orders total. I showed her the menu that clearly states 2 orders for each item. She replied "No. It's expensive" and walked away to another table where the customers were Korean. Ugh, rude. Check came and there was a $5 charge for card. We told her we would pay cash and she circled the cash price. It was the same price. I tried to explain it to her and again she walked away. What is going on? read more

Finally got around to trying Surawon Korean BBQ and it definitely hit the spot. They offer a few different AYCE tiers depending on what meats you want to try -- we went with the $24 option, which still had a solid variety. My favorites were the spicy pork and the beef belly, both were super flavorful and cooked up great on the grill. The place has a nice mom-and-pop feel to it, which I always appreciate. It's pretty laid back, not overly crowded or chaotic like some KBBQ spots can get. Service was casual but friendly, and the overall vibe made it easy to just relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, a solid AYCE option if you're looking for something simple, tasty, and low-key. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu. read more

We came here on a Friday night with friends after the place we originally planned to go to had a very long wait. This restaurant was nearby, so we decided to give it a try without high expectations since they offer both AYCE and individual orders. Surprisingly, it wasn't just the meat, but the vegetables. The owner grows the vegetables in their own garden, and they were incredibly fresh and delicious. Honestly, that alone deserves a 5/5. The doenjang jjigae was also excellent--rich and comforting. The service was very friendly, and they even packed up the leftover vegetables for us to take home, which was such a thoughtful touch. The inside of the restaurant was a bit messy, but it was understandable, and the owner's generosity and warm hospitality left a great impression overall. read more

Everything tasted old the meat the little side dishes tasted old I would not recommend going here

First, my friend and I arrived at 11 AM, the advertised open time. An older man was inside mopping and asked us to come back in 30 minutes. Normally I'd go somewhere else but I had time and good company to wait. We came back in at 11:33 and he said to wait another 5 minutes. After the long wait we were first to be seated but second to be waited on. A Korean couple came in after us, was waited on first, and greeted properly. The man that was mopping earlier comes to our table second and shortly asks what we wanted to order. Before we could finish ordering all 4 meats he walked away. He brought 2 servings, turned up the fire, and walks away again. We were not asked about drink orders or sides at this point. Finally a woman enters and we were able to get water and sides from her. When we asked for the rest of our order she pointed to a buffet table. We get up and see that there are some sides available, but they are not fresh. The broccoli section had a few crumbs left (see pic) and the salad was browning. Maybe this was from a day or two before?? We were the first ones there so there was no excuse for the dismal presentation. Oh, and let me also say that the radish was green and sour. The kimchi had a terrible smell and needed to be dumped. On top of this, we were the only ones told to get up and serve ourselves. By this time, 3 other tables were seated and all being served as is typical of a KBBQ spot. The meat we did receive (never got the full order) was bland. We weren't offered more water. The woman was happily chatting with the Korean patrons and we felt like an after thought. Overall, the poor service, bland meat, and days old sides made this a "one and done" situation. There are so many tasty KBBQ places to go to in the area, go somewhere else. read more

Came here with a friend after they wouldn't stop hyping this spot up, and wow, totally worth it. Love that you DIY ingredients and soup base - you grab what you want, they weigh it, and boom, customized bowl. I did the bone broth spicy base and it was super rich, not just mindless heat. The skewers were the surprise winner though... so smoky, juicy, I kept going back for "just one more" lol. Staff was chill and quick, food came out fast. Solid place when you're craving something comforting but still want to play around with your own combo :) read more

Surawon BBQ - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

Me and my family have been coming here for years and that food is okay but the daughter is always sooo rude she had terrible customer service. Today was the last tine we'll be coming here. There was a new lady serving us and she was very nice and after a while i guess she had left and we're not told she left. We waited an waited for someone to come because we wanted some more meat. They added a bell to ring for service at each table and when we finally rang the bell the daughter said i'm not serving them i'm too busy sweeping and moping. We ended up just paying our bill which was ridiculously expensive for the quality and service and left hungry. Who leaves KBBQ still hungry. read more

We came here thinking the bbq was charcoal grilled, based on several reviews. My wife even asked before we sat down. The owner said yes. When she turned the gas burner on my wife asked where is the charcoal? She said there is none, it is only used on certain fish that is made in the back kitchen. I think we were misled. The dining area is dated but clean. Service was friendly and the meats, sides & soup were good. read more

Not a bad place to eat KBBQ but there are definitely better places to choose from in the immediate area. Perhaps the most alluring thing about this place was the prices. They are somewhat cheaper than other KBBQs and that is about it. We were seated very quickly since the restaurant was practically empty when we arrived. Though there were not many people there, the service was still quite slow. We had to continuously flag down anyone we could to have sides and meat brought to the table. Bear in mind, there are only three workers in this entire establishment, at least for the front of the house. The old korean couple, who I assume own the joint and a young server who seems overwhelmed much of the time. The place itself looked clean enough but according to my friends, the bathroom was a nightmare. I did not check it out myself but was a bit concerned, as I have always been under the impression that the kitchen is likely just as clean as the restrooms. The food was very average. The thing that I liked most was probably the beef belly but sadly, we ordered this towards the end so I did not get to have much of it. I was not the biggest fan of the brisket, no matter how long it was cooked, it always tasted very rubbery. One thing I want to note that was funny to me is that none of the fans in the restaurant were on. Instead, the front doors are wide open, as was the side door by where we were seated. As a result, it is a little cold in there. read more

Korean bbq spot that has interesting service. Please be patient if you're going to come here. It's changed a lot in the past 10 years. Brisket doesnt have a lot of fat, but depending on your server determines if you'll get the meat you ask for. It's about 26.99 per person weekend/evenings for the lowest tier. read more

I could not believe how we were treated going here. Our server was rude and would say remarks such as "you can wait" and "the others tip better". They dropped rice paper on our table and didn't pick it up, they used our own broccoli side dish to clean the grease from the meat grill. My party and I have never been treated worse at any place than here. I believe it was the daughter who has a pink headband that would say those remarks to us. She was so worried about a piece of paper as soon as I got in she told me not to touch it because of a health inspection they were expecting. I felt like we were discriminated against we will never be coming back here. read more

Lots of side dishes here did not taste fresh at all, the bulgolgi here is a bit different than most places out there and I wouldn't consider it bulgolgi. The price is cheaper than most places but this place doesn't scratch that Korean bbq itch. Overall tbe food was edible not great but I was sort of sketched out on sanitary conditions here... read more

Delicious food, the mom is very nice, but the daughter?? absolutely not. she's always got a nasty attitude, weird remarks, she tried adding a $10 tip without asking first. Our total was $58 and she charged us $68. good thing I checked before I paid. she called her mom back to help us pay and she fixed it to only $58. After going here multiple times, this was the last. I'd rather pay more money at kbbq then go back here read more

These guys are greedy! Came in with my youngest daughter (10years old) and her friend also 10. Both girls eat like birds. They charged us full price for them. This has been our go to for over 10 years. Don't think we will be coming back again. read more

Good food! We will definitely come back here! Bring your friends and family!!! Nice service!

We love Surawon! We started coming here 7 years ago when we first moved to Norwalk. We loved the BBQ and all the side options! We also love that the family that owns Surawon knows us and always gives us a warm welcome! Our faves are the beef belly, the brisket and the marinated beef. Love the pineapple chicken too! For sides we love the miso soup, the pickled cucumber, the glass noodles and the kim chi. You'll find us there at least twice a month! read more

Surawon BBQ - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

0 star. The lady is rude. I ask for more help, but she tells us 'shh, wait, I'm looking for the ice.' What's that? And when my wife asks for more meat, she says 'ok, I got it, go sit down.' What's wrong with that lady? She doesn't even ask us if we're okay or if we need anything or want to order more. Instead, my wife has to go ask her for more meat. Also, this place is a mess. We order beef belly, but they keep giving us pork. The rice smells bad, the water cup smells awful, the side dishes are not good, and the meat is okay, but we're definitely not coming back and the cooking for meat is disappointing!!! What Waste of money!!!!! read more

Best Korean bbq place! Everything comes out quickly and the service is always great! The place is also nice and sweet!

The food was very good and fresh. The customer service was phenomenal and fast. The environment was warm and inviting. They played Minecraft ambient music in the background which was the final nail in the coffin. Overall an amazing place you should try and bring your gang Fr!!!! read more

I love this place I been coming here since I was 13 probably younger I'm 22 now. It's my second home. So fire !!

COVID-19 QUARANTINE UPDATE: Ok so I'm 6 months pregnant and have been DYING for some kbbq... however, due to the COVID-19 outbreak and forced quarantine, all dine-in restaurants have been closed and most kbbq restaurants are dine-in only :((( THEN HERE COMES SURAWON TO THE RESCUE!!!! They recently posted a sign saying $9.99 for To-go KBBQ which I was ALL OVER. I called immediately to place a to-go order. Hubby and I ordered the 3 meat combo (short ribs, bulgogi, and brisket) for $14.99 and the 2 meat combo (brisket and spicy pork) for $9.99. They gave the option of uncooked or cooked meat, but we opted to have them cook it for us so we can eat right away :P It was kinda depressing picking up the food because there were no customers :( The owner lady was the only person in the back cooking BUT THAT'S GOOD!!! LESS COOKS = LOWER RISK OF CONTAMINATION/COVID-19! Phew Once our food was done (about 10-15 minutes from calling it in) we were handed TWO BAGS FULL OF FOOD. Including several pounds of meat.... 10 containers of sauces... rice paper.... AND banchan. ALL FOR $27. TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS. like what?! I felt bad that i was essentially getting a FEAST for so cheap while the business is clearly not doing so well, but the lady hooooked it up. I tipped $10 to show how much I appreciated her hard work. Food: The brisket was slightlyyy dry/thick but OOOOMG THE SHORT RIB AND BULGOGI WAS BOMB. The spicy pork was also good but short rib and bulgogi were the best hands down. We were stuffed after not even getting through half the food, so we basically got 2 meals out of a $27 DELICIOUS meal. God I can't get over how the food was so freaking delicious and it definitely satisfied my kbbq craving, except now im gonna want to get take out from here every night LOL I think my take-out experience was even better than when I dined in because with take-out, I have leftovers AND I don't reek of bbq If you are craving meat and want a kbbq option to go, CALL SURAWON!!!! YOULL THANK ME LATER!!! read more
