    Found the formula for eating at U-Grill without a wait Come at 3pm on a Tuesday! Every time I come here , which is usually on a weekend, anytime , it's about an hour or more wait. I am definitely coming back on my day off work! I forgot how inexpensive it is for the quality and variety of different meats, veggies and it is all you can eat ! Love all the varieties of banchan . Be daring try everything! It's all delicious! The service was fast and we had an exceptional server Ivan who was very helpful in picking out what tastes great! The ambiance is great for large groups of people. So nice to not have to drive to LA for Korean BBQ! Bring your appetite! Sorry no pics of meat! We were starving and were busy grilling and eating! We selected A and it was more than enough food for 2 people.

    One of my favorite KBBQ's to come to in the Riverside. They offer a wide variety of meats and vegetables along with a selection of side dishes. This location offers a welcoming family atmosphere and friendly service. Not to mention very tasteful food. This place will not disappoint you.

    I was really craving some KBBQ yesterday after doing some studying at Victoria Gardens so I looked for one close by and found this place! Super spacious, vibes were good, and the music was pretty lit not gonna lie. Unfortunately, I had to wait about an hour for a seat on a Saturday so if you can make a reservation beforehand I would recommend doing that. We got seated at the bar which was spacious enough for two people to cook, eat, and drink. Our bartender was super sweet and attentive to us the whole time. I was surprised by how quickly everything came out too! I wouldn't say this place stands out compared to other kbbq in the area but the food was yummy and tasted fresh. I really enjoyed their corn cheese and their bulgogi. Next time, I need to try their pork belly

    Amazing spot!!! This has been my recommendation to all of my kbbq meet ups for a few years now. The staff are awesome and handles the constant busy flow quite well and while there is always a wait, the food has always been quite worth it to me! The place always has a great vibe and all of the servers that have served us have been so cool and awesome!!

    You Grill at UGrill!! UGrill is a chain of Korean-style BBQ. They have two locations in Rancho Cucamonga, literally a few blocks from each other. I chose this location as I was at Ontario Mills shopping, and it happened to be closer to where I was. Upon entering, the host took my name, and I waited a whole 5 minutes before being seated. My server, Daniel, came by my table and not only made some recommendations, but offered me an Ice-Cold Cass ( a Korean Beer). I have eaten at many Korean BBQs over the years, and every one of them has been unique. The UGrill chain offers affordable options, even for its premium menu. They also provide a wide selection of Kimchi to enhance your meal. Some highlights of my selections were baby octopus, which I will cop up in the future for more even cooking, Pork chops, Rib Eye, and a few other meats. I also ordered a steamed egg and a very delicious Kimchi Stew!!! Overall, a great experience with no issues, as the food came out fast when I ordered more selections. My server was great, very attentive and the staff, in general. replaced my grill every ten to fifteen minutes without me having to ask. UGrill is a great place to eat, with many options and great service.

    To be quite honest, I'm not a big fan of Korean barbecue. Generally if I want to cook my own food, I'll do it on the grill in my backyard but the little lady wanted Korean barbecue so of course I agreed. We've been to a couple of the local spots U-Grill was my wife's pick. Very hip, very trendy. Young crowd. I felt like everyone's Grandpa. You have to Scan the bar code to get a menu. Grumpy old man trigger. I let my wife do it. Just hand me a menu like we've been doing it for 1000 years! Sorry for the rant. My wife ordered then raw meet just started flowing to our table. Being the grill meister at home I thought I would take control of the grill. Steak and Bulgogi. Finally some Shrimp and intestines. Yes intestines! Some tongue, ribeye some veggies to pacify the guilt. Lots of small dishes with Kimchi, pickles, radish and rice paper for rolling. Reminded me of the 60's. Don't underestimate these small dishes most of these small sides are fantastic. Between my wife and I and our 2 tag along grand kids we ate a couple of hundred dollars worth of food. Also had a bottle of Soju which might explain my happy demeanor. Everything was awesome including the Mochi ice cream the grandkids had for desert. Next time it's my choice so I'll pick a place where the food is cooked for me. But we will be back so chill the Soju. Definitely Recommended

    This is still my go to KKBQ spot as far as price and availability. It is usually never busy the time we go, unfortunately the service has been a bit lackluster. Other than that, everything has been good.

    Nice bbq place

    Nice server, nice bbq place, friendly environment. Will definitely coming back again here.

    U-Grill has been a family favorite over the last few years. We used to frequent Gen Korean BBQ, but U-Grill is much better when it comes to service and overall flavor. The service has always been great here. Your food is dropped at the table pretty quickly and our servers have been great. The inside of the restaurant has a clean and modern feel and the seating is very comfortable if you are able to grab a booth. We dropped in for lunch on a Saturday and menu option A was $29.99 per person. There are more options with menu B, but it costs more and really we're okay with menu A. Our favorites to order are the beef brisket and beef belly. I know there's a lunch menu, but this is only available Monday thru Friday. Overall, we have never had a bad experience and the food and service are great. Will be returning!

    Located on Foothill Blvd near Etiwanda Ave with plenty of parking. There's a full bar with TVs throughout playing live sports adding a lively atmosphere. The bar counter also has grills, perfect for solo dining. Happy Hour is from 3PM-6PM M-F & 9PM-Close daily. First time here and loved it. We visited this Saturday noon and were seated immediately. You scan the code in the host area for the menu. We chose 'Menu B' at $38.99 per person...with plenty of meat selections such as Brisket, Bulgogi, Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, Pork Chop, and more. As sides, we enjoyed 'White Rice, Steamed Egg, Corn Cheese, Noodles, etc'. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. The beer was perfectly cold. The fun of grilling your own meal right at the table truly enhances the social experience. Be prepared: your clothes will smell like barbecue after dining here. I like that they have big tables to accommodate large parties. The restaurant is spacious, clean and organized. Service was top-notch, every staff member we encountered was very helpful and did a great job switching out our grill promptly. Shout out to our server, 'Anikan' who was extremely attentive, friendly, and made sure we had a great meal experience. Overall, we had a pleasant time here and will definitely return.

    Got in with our 5:00 pm reservation. Good size place . Nice and clean. Warm reception. Quick service. Seated right away. Condiments served right away. Jane took good care of us really well. Friendly and warm. Lots of fun for the family (10 people). Grand kids enjoyed cooking and even more the eating part of it. Brisket, bulgogi, pork chops and pork belies, chicken teriyaki and veggies were some of the choices we grilled. All so good and enjoyable. Been here a couple of times and plans to come again.

    Decent KBBQ place, with the lunch pricing (Mon-Friday, until 4pm) at $23.99. They have pretty much everything you'd expect from a KBBQ place, with a few additions that I haven't seen much elsewhere: curry chicken, for instance, and really big prawns. I can't speak to the quality of the pork (as I didn't order any), but everything I tried was fresh. That said, the beef belly cut was a little unfortunate. I got a couple orders, thinking maybe I just got the first time, but all the plates were extremely fatty. Don't get me wrong, I expect fat when it comes to beef belly, but this was ~90% fat. Ventilation was pretty poor inside. There was a lot of smoke inside constantly. Also, the safety standards seem lax. When the waitress was changing the grill, there was a lot of oil just slung onto the floor. Sometimes there's a place at the table to slot old grills into, but not here. No one cleaned up the oil or anything, so it was just a slipping hazard.

After that was corrected, we again brought up the missing dessert, but it was still ignored. Even after asking to speak with a manager directly, no manager ever came to address the situation. The only resolution offered was a small discount of about $15 and changing one of our all-you-can-eat meals to a kids' meal instead of an adult price. Overall, the lack of attention, communication, and basic service was very disappointing. I expected much better handling of food quality issues and customer concerns.

I've been to Fogo many times, and this was the first time checking out Texas de Brazil, and I have to say, I think I like Texas De Brazil better! The meat service at the start of the dinner was admittedly slow for what looked like the entire restaurant, there was a solid 10-min where no meat was coming except for a chicken sausage. I think that is because they were cooking the meats, because soon after, a bunch of meat started coming out of the kitchen all at once. The quality of the meat was great! The salad bar I think is better than Fogo: I felt the veggies and salads tasted fresher and the area around the salad bar was cleaner. The cheese bread and plantains were amazing as well, much better than Fogo for sure. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and if I am craving Brazilian BBQ again, I'll head over here.

Unfortunately, they didn't even try. We were placed on the outdoor patio; there were 18 of us. First issue, they didn't set the tables for the correct number of people. Second issue, we had to beg and plead to have the gauchos serve us. They would come to the door, say who would like XXX, and if someone didn't immediately raise their hand, they would go back inside. Even if one of us raised our hand, they would not go around the entire table asking people if they would like to be served that meat. Third issue, my husband and I were served undercooked pork. They removed them from our plates immediately, and we never saw pork again. Fourth issue, if we requested a specific item, we would have to ask several times until someone served us our food. Fifth issue, they never brought out the accompanying items that are automatically served on the table, ie, cheese bread, mashed potatoes, bananas, etc. We would have to wait until our server came out to the patio and then request the items. They would NOT ask if anyone else at the table would care for anything. Sixth issue, they acted as if we were in drought conditions, asking for water was torture. We finally got up and brought over our own pitchers to the table. The seventh issue was that the busboys kept trying to take our plates away. Several times, one of us would have to grab our plate back. EIGHTH issue, when it was time for the cake, they brought us a steak knife to cut the cake, NO serving utensil, and saucers from coffee cups as our dessert plates. I asked for larger plates, and they brought us 11 HOT dinner plates. Just a reminder, there were 18 of us seated. You do the math; they certainly couldn't. I love Brazilian steakhouses, this one is almost the worst one I have been to, it comes in at a very close second. I would never return to this location. I felt sorry for the birthday girl. She was given ZERO love; they didn't even know who the birthday girl was. HORRIBLE representation for the Texas de Brazil franchise.
