Best service of all time everyone and I mean everyone was so friendly and they were super quick with everything best experience of all time

The Baseline: For Korean BBQ restaurant the grill meats must be quality, the table set up must be functional, and the accompanying sides must work with the meat. Food: This is an all you can eat Korean BBQ and you can order 4 meats at a time. The portions are big and the meat is of good quality. Plenary of sides and the drinks are great especially when you hit happy hour. Service: We were blessed to have Jackie as our server and she was incredible. Checked on us the perfect amount of time and explained everything on how they operate so there are no surprises (i.e. there is a wasted meat charge if you do not finish). Everyone was super helpful and friendly but Jackie made our night. Ambiance: Very clean restaurant and well kept interior. The layout of dining area is well laid out and the separation of table keeps the adjoining grill smoke from not being overwhelming. read more

U-Grill Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Chino, California

We came here on Mother's Day and had a good experience! They were busy when we came so we had to wait to be seated but we did not have to wait long at all! They accommodated us with a stroller as well! Our waitress was so kind, helpful and attentive! She was so sweet! We decided to order the mango soju which was a mixture of mango soju and sprite. It made sense price wise for us to get that! It tasted different and not what I was used to. I didn't really like it to be honest. We decided to order where we could have meats and options from both menu A & B. We decided to go with beef bulgogi, shrimp, mussels, short ribs and flank steak. We enjoyed the meat and seafood. The short ribs had a lot of fat on it so it made it hard to eat. We also had a variety of banchan, white rice, salad and glass noodles. All of those were delicious! They have a variety of booths and tables and they can accommodate large groups. We really liked the music they played and we were jamming! They have good size parking lot as well! I did enjoy my meal here! read more

U Grill is always consistent, food is exactly what it is and all meats look fresh. Love the extra Kimchi I could order and sprouts. Service was very good and patient as I had my 3 daughters with me. With the TVs and light music playing it was a great experience all together! Definitely a regular place to hit for some lean meats and cheats... Try The Curry Pork Belly! so good! read more

U Grill in Chino was one of the best Korean BBQ experiences I have had so far. Their brisket sauce was truly a standout and the perfect addition to any cut of meat. I love letting the meat cook first and then marinating it in the sauce so it can really soak up the flavors. The garlic slices were also a must-have for me and paired perfectly with my radish paper and rice paper to make the ultimate little meat tacos. We were a party of seven and ended up doing three rounds of orders, four meats each round. Our favorites by far were the beef belly and the brisket, the go-to KBBQ staples that never disappoint. Everything cooked up tender and delicious. The only downside was that the Coke was pretty flat but it was not a huge deal for me. Service-wise, the staff was very friendly and attentive overall. A few items, like the sliced garlic, took a little longer to arrive which delayed my meal by a couple minutes. I am very particular about having radish paper and garlic at Korean BBQ so that was the only hiccup. The restaurant had a nice, welcoming ambiance and the wait time was very reasonable at about 20 minutes which actually worked out perfectly since one of my friends was still on the way. The bathrooms were clean as well which is always appreciated. Overall, the food was excellent and the experience was great. I would definitely come back again. read more

Stopped by here before my long drive to sf. This is one of the cheaper ayce. Its 23$ for lunch. Its very dim in here and the inside was big enough. Im sure they get a lot of customers for dinner. The menu has most of what i typically eat but its not very flavorful. I was expecting more from the curry marinated stuff, but that fell short. The sides are extremely underwhelming and the corn cheese needs kewpie or mayo or just something. The service was excellent. My server was busy so the "other help" was really helpful. They did an outstanding job! I wasnt really into the quality of the food and offerings but the service was very nice. read more

The Greater Los Angeles area has some of the most authentic Korean Barbecue spots in relations to most other cities in the United States. And while many will flock to the time-tested chain restaurants to get their fix, there are a variety of local spots that serve up food just as good. I received a recommendation to try U-Grill from a friend in the area and stopped by on a Wednesday evening around 7:30PM. Entering the restaurant, many of the tables were empty. But despite this, the staff had my party wait about 5-10 minutes to sit down. This was a grim sign at the beginning of the experience. But it seems to be that most people come into this spot later in the evening as each seat was full around 10PM. Sitting down inside, we were given waters, bonchon side dishes, and the QR code with the digital menu. After, our server let us know about the two hour time limit and the four side, four meat ordering limit before letting us eat to our devices. For a dinner at the time of this review, the price was about 30 dollars a person for the regular menu and 38-39 dollars for the premium menu. At this price tag, there are other spots that will offer more meat and side options. But of all options, U-Grill's menu was solid. The regular dinner menu had about 26 meats and 9 diverse sides which were enough for my party. Compared to other Korean Barbecue spots, U-Grill is one of those places were there is more emphasis on the meat texture and natural flavor than marinades and seasonings. And to that, their items seem to reflect this too. Of the items I had, I would recommend the Beef Brisket, Garlic Pork Belly, Spicy Pork, and Garlic Chicken for these items had light amounts of sauce/seasoning, large quantities of meat per serving, and a rich flavor profile. For the beef brisket, be sure to let it char a little as the best flavor comes out after it dries a bit. On the other hand, try not to overcook the pork belly as the moisture made this dish delicious. Next, I would eat the Beef Bulgogi, Shrimp, Baby Octopus, and Calamari Steak sparingly. While the beef was given in large volume each round, the flavor of the bulgogi was too subtle and tasted close to flavorless. The seafood options were tasty for what they were. But each round of the seafood came with four pieces of shrimp, two pieces of octopus, or a very thin piece of squid. While they tasted great, it's not worth the time to make them here when volume is the name of the game. And for last, I would skip the Curry Pork Belly and Pork Skin. While pork belly is often one of the most treasured delicacies at a Korean Barbecue spot, the curry flavor tasted very little of curry. Rather, the flavor was somewhat sour and the meat was somewhat dry which did not go well together. The pork skin had a good amount of hair on each piece which made the texture strange compared to the gelatinous skin. Placing each piece on the grill was a challenge due to the lack of oil. As a result, the skin stuck to the grill without cooking correctly. At least the sides were pretty good compared to other places and I would definitely take advantage of these. I personally enjoyed the corn cheese, jap chae, steamed egg, fish cake, and kimchi! U-Grill is all over spectrum. While some of the dishes did not make the mark, there were others that were absolutely delicious. And while some items were given in mountains, others were only given in scraps. What grounds this as a positive experience are the $30 price tag and the frequent service. Because my party always had meat on the table, clean grills swapped out, and lots of space to eat, it really made the experience instead of breaking it. These all said, U-Grill is definitely doing something right with their 600 reviews here on Yelp and I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try with a 4 star rating! read more

Had such a great experience at UGrill! The service was excellent -- Joan was our server and he took great care of us the whole night. The meat portions here are huge compared to other KBBQ spots, and the quality was amazing. The bulgogi and brisket were definitely the stars! The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept. We did have about a 25-minute wait, but honestly that's not bad at all for a Saturday night. Parking can be a little tough, but we found that parking in the lot by Denny's made things easier. Overall, great food, great service, and generous portions -- definitely worth coming back! The corn cheese and the steam egg were delicious too! Yum! read more

We have been to at least 35 Kbbq throughout southern Cali. Once the wife and I stepped in and felt a very young vibe and read the menu, we figured quality would be ok and service would be ok. We were definitely blown away by the service and bang for your buck that this place offers. Nick, Landon , and Johnathan , went far and beyond to provide excellent service that I did not expect . Dee the manager followed up with us when we got our check to make sure we were satisfied . Only 1 minor complaint ...... the white wine was room temperature but you can't expect red or white wines at kbbq. This place offers good wines and great prices but they need to chill the white wine. Other than that , if you're in the area of the 6o fwy and want a great affordable dining experience, this is the place read more

It's a great business model. Understaff like crazy, have everyone stare at an empty grill for half an hour waiting for their second round order to come, that way everyone's too full to order more! read more

I love U-Grill! We used to go to wang cho every time we wanted kbbq but we've now switched to U-grill as our go-to. The quality of meats is better than other "casual" kbbq spots, they have lemon soju which most other places don't have, and they accommodate large parties. Only negative we've noticed here is sometimes it takes a minute to get the check or get checked on. read more

My friends and I came in on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait for a table and were seated almost immediately. Staff were super friendly and attentive all night! The quality of the meats were great compared to others all you can eat KBBQ spots so it's definitely worth a try.

Usually I never leave reviews for KBBQ places because I love KBBQ, but this one honestly hurts to write. I've been here twice, and I recently went on Friday (2/13) for an early Valentine's Day dinner. The first round was amazing -- side dishes were bomb, meat was good (we usually stick to the basics), and everything felt normal at first. However, after our first grill change, things started to feel off. The second round of meat had a strange, almost chemical taste. It didn't taste like the protein we ordered -- it genuinely tasted off and unpleasant. This was with a completely new round of meat, a fresh grill, and refilled side dishes, so it wasn't leftovers from before. At first I thought maybe it was just "meat fatigue," but the aftermath makes me think otherwise. Today is Sunday (2/15) as I'm writing this, and both my partner and I have been extremely sick since Friday night -- vomiting, constantly running to the bathroom, and just overall feeling terrible. I won't go into more detail, but we've basically been fighting for our lives all weekend. I've never had an issue with KBBQ before, which is why this feels especially concerning. Specifically, during the second round, the cucumber kimchi and pickled radish we refilled tasted very chemical-like and not fresh. The meat also tasted strange at that point. I strongly recommend the restaurant double-check food handling practices, meat freshness, and how side dishes are being stored and prepared. For transparency, here's what we ordered: Meat: * Thinly sliced pork belly (x2) * Beef belly (x2) * Thick cut pork belly (x2) Other dishes: * Corn cheese * Soybean soup * Soft tofu soup Side dishes refilled: * Cucumber kimchi * Pickled radish Service was okay considering it was a busy Friday and basically Valentine's Eve. Our server was sweet, but we were forgotten a few times -- which I understand given how packed it was. I genuinely love KBBQ, and I'm sad to write this because I've enjoyed this place before. But after this experience, especially getting sick afterward, I felt like I had to share. I really hope management looks into their food safety practices. read more

I haven't been here in like half a year. Lucy was our server. Our party of three had a great time. Staff were attentive to us, constantly asking us if we needed grill changes and to put in more orders. Food was delicious, I recommend getting the corn cheese as a side. Huge shoutout to Nick! I believe they were bussing tables, and they were more attentive and helpful than anyone else during our time there! read more

Shoutout to our server tonight Jackie! She was very attentive from the time we sat down until after we paid. Didn't have to ask for refills because before we even thought about getting refills, she was already right there asking for drink refills and/or next batch of meat we wanted to order. She even recommended something that we didn't even think about before. She was also very sweet to my daughter and talked to her for a little bit although my daughter was very shy to talk to her Great food but even greater service. Thank you Jackie! read more

I have tried numerous u-grill location and this location is by far my favorite one. The service is amazing, every worker will check in on your table rather than having just your server check in. The food is excellent, mostly their cucumber, it's always delicious. As for the ambiance it's your typical u-grill. The other big thing I enjoy about this location is how their smoke vents are located on the grill. So the meat smoke does not stick to your clothes and just gets sucked in on the sides of the grill. read more

I've driven by this location so many times & just never thought to stop by because it's always packed but today we decided to check it out for a late lunch & I'm so glad we did! We got there around 3:15 & it was empty! We got seated at a booth & I feel like this place offers way more side dishes than the other kbbq places I've been to. We ordered quite a lot but my favorites were the thin beef belly, bulgogi, corn cheese (the best), japchae (so good) & the marinate short ribs. Our server AJ was so nice and patient with us. The music was giving us great vibes, i will say though that it's a TAD BIT dark in here so it was a little hard to see if the meats were fully cooked or not lol Definitely coming back to this location with our friends & family! read more

The I.E. is always 50/50 hard hit or big miss on KBBQ and unfortunately I have to say this spot takes the low road. Underwhelming results, but a cute location at a pretty "I wouldn't come back again" price point. Another spot in the list of "good beginner KBBQ AYCE". Solid 2.5/5. Food - (2/5) Went with the cheaper menu option as I generally always want to try the staples before guessing if the price hike is worth any specialty items. Absolute misses on most options, especially for the menu prices, from dishes like banchan that tastes like it's been sitting out for a while, to hard uncooked rice, corn cheese served already cooked on a "hot" plate that gets cold and hard after 60 seconds, and poor meat quality (with great presentation!) ((brisket is cut rather thick/tough, beef belly is rather bland)) the most enjoyable thing I ate was the marinated pork collar. Service - (3/5) Server was nice, service itself was average expectations for AYCE, the menu leans on the wider side and does offer a few relatively unique/not commonly offered items but didn't really grab my attention. (Might just be a personal hot take but I prefer a short menu with quality essentials over 5 flavors of pork belly etc.) Ambiance- (4/5) The restaurant itself is very appealing, with great moody lighting, decor, spacious seating and seemingly good ventilation. Grills don't burn super hot it seems which can be fine to avoid too much smoke, just some items i'd prefer to cook quickly. read more

U-Grill Korean BBQ - Pig skin - Korean Near Me - Chino, California

It's rare that I find a KBBQ place that disappoints but this place unfortunately does. Starting off, the banchan all looked old and dry. Tasted that way as well. Their tofu soup was basically just spicy miso soup with a singular piece of tofu. And the meat, all frozen and tough. We ordered two rounds of brisket thinking it would have been different and yes it was different, but not in a good way. The first plate was lean and thickly cut so it was super tough. The second plate was super fatty, which was a little bit more palatable, but not by much. In the end, what really got me was the horrible ventilation inside. The smoke was just piling up inside to the point of uncomfortable. The saving grace of this place is that some of the staff are super nice and eager to help, but there are still a few staff that definitely made me feel like they didn't want to be there. Overall, definitely would not go here again. If you're in the area, definitely skip and just go to gen or wang cho. read more

Went for lunch with another couple. If you're introducing friends to kbbq for the 1st time, this place is not it. Not good quality meats We all got the menuB but it was very tough and the bulgogi was marinated very poorly. Denjang stew had a sour taste, banchan was very sparse and DRY... No comment on the ambiance. The service was nice and they were attentive. it kinda looks like Korean food and kinda tastes like Korean food but definitely not Korean food.
