It's been a while since we've been to KBBQ and U-Grill in Chino has always been the place to go to with family and friends. Our experience and service we receive is pleasant and staff will always check in, if we need anything or would like to order additional items. The quality of the meats and food items is good, so we always tend to come back. Until next time, Enjoy!

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!

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!

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.

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.

As many times as I've been here, it never disappoints when the quality of the food, the amazing flavors, and the great service hits on all cylinders. This location is a fave of mine whenever I crave kbbq because of convenience and ease. So what do we do in the new year? Go to UGrill kbbq in chino... the vibe is pretty chill, the people and staff are super friendly and quick to help u.. its right off the 60fwy and Central Ave. If u haven't tried it... I promise u will enjoy it..

Food is good, i think my favorite is pork collar, brisket and bulgogi. The bulgogi is excellent, with big portions. So beware about the size before ordering. Our server Malayna is great server! friendly and fast responsive. The menu A ( 29,99$) Menu B (38,99$) Place is big and clean. Will come back for sure

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!

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. I do see that parking could be an issue with such a small space but the food makes up for it! They had great music and it was an overall fun time with my girls!

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.

One order of Pork belly. We asked for raw garlic and grilled it in the middle for extra flavor.

The beef ribs were a good size. Only one part of one of the ribs was dry but the other side was tender and juicy as well as the others. The baby ribs were tender and had great flavor. Our favorite was the brisket. Our least favorite was the sausage. I wasn't a fan because when we bit into a piece it kind of crumbled. Seemed dried out but it had good flavor. The spiced watermelon was refreshing and the cornbread was hot and light. The Mac and cheese was solid. I'm not a fan of mustard based potato salad but my wife is and she really liked it. I didn't taste it but she said the ingredients worked together well but it was just a little mustard flavor forwarded. But she was a fan of it. So people that don't like a mustard flavor might not like it. We were split on the beans. I thought they were ok. Very light flavoring. But my wife absolutely loved it. I'm used to the bbq baked beans with the sweet bbq sauce so again it's your presence.

I couldn't even hear the person across from me that I came with to eat dinner nor could I hear the server either. The restaurant was so excruciatingly loud that it genuinely caused bad ear pain and a headache so we left before ordering anything else besides water. Completely ruined the entire experience. And for reference I don't have any hearing problems and I'm in my 20s, so if I can't hear what the person directly next to me is saying then there's a problem here. It was so crowded and full of loud drunk people. Incredibly overwhelming. This place needs better max capacity laws in place or if they actually have them they're definitely not following them here. Also the inside set up is like a labyrinth. It's a confusing half open concept to the outside, half inside, and all very overstimulating. None of the staff seemed concerned at all with the hundreds of people overfilling the restaurant loudly speaking/yelling. This is unacceptable to be honest. I just wanted to come here to have a nice dinner after a long day at work and I couldn't. Beware of the noise especially if you have children or older people in your party; we didn't have either but I can't imagine how they'd feel in this chaotic environment. Btw, sitting outside won't change or help this fact either as it was also extremely overcrowded and nearly just as loud as well. 1/5 stars. Please manage your capacity better because it's driving customers away. This is supposed to be a nice restaurant not a club.

Really sad because it just doesn't have the same vibe or experience anymore.
