Checked out U Grill for the first time and had a great experience. Went for lunch and was shocked and delighted at how busy it was. We are asked to scan the menus before being seated and saw they have a really good lunch special. Our server was very helpful and everything arrived quickly after placing the order.

Grill prep with jalapeño & garlic for the beef brisket. Yummy banchan, steam egg & tofu soup.

We come here often, and I just realized I'd never left a review! We always order the beef brisket, and it never disappoints. We also love all the banchan. My favorite sides are the steamed egg, tofu soup, and rice paper. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, and I leave satisfied after every visit. The only downside? The floors and tables always seem a little sticky. I'm not sure why... LOL. Thankfully, it hasn't stopped us from coming back because the food keeps us returning!

Interior is dimly lit and feels like a sports bar with the number of televisions in the bar area. Floors were greasy as per KBBQ usual. Service at first was a little difficult, but once were seated ot got better. Our meat orders were brought to the table in a timely fashion and the grill was changed out frequently. This place is our usual KBBQ spot since its the closest amd it doesn't disappoint.

The most decent KBBQ you'll get especially in the Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga area. You get to grab dessert after; Kung Fu Tea is right next door! There is genius parking in the front of the restaurant and within the plaza. When walking in, we had made it on time for the line pricing! It was $24.99. Dinner is about $30. They do have weekday happy hour from 3 - 6 PM! We were seated when our whole party was there. The server, Arianna, quickly came by and asked if we were ready to order. We ordered waters, soju cocktails, side dishes, and our first rounds of meat. The meat was frozen and piled onto the plates. We had ordered their brisket, spicy pork belly, beef belly, and bulgogi. We had a watermelon cocktail soju with cheesy corn, Korean party soup, and steamed egg. We had the server bring out salad and some rice paper for us, too. Overall, we got full very fast. Arianna was very kind and sweet to us, so shoutout to her! She had changed our grill three times and kept our waters full. The restaurant itself was okay! Floors were a tad bit sticky and the side dishes weren't filled all the way, which is understand since they don't want it to go to waste. But, I think it made the experience there average. Again, still the best you can get in the area!

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

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.

This is the food that we ate. Amazing.

This was a birthday gift. It was amazing and I really enjoyed it. Our waiter was Noah, and he was. Amazing. I really appreciate the guy. He really made me laugh and he was fast. Kept getting my drinks and attentive, respectful, and Nice.

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.

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!!

No my Grand Daughter is not drinking a beer.

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

Ulises O.

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.

See all

Reviews are generally positive. People enjoy the fresh, flavorful meats, attentive, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere.

We had an amazing experience at Gen Korean BBQ in Rancho Cucamonga! The service was exceptional,…read moreand the food was great. We only waited about 5 minutes to be seated, and everything came out within just a few minutes. Our server, Myles B, was absolutely excellent! He gave us great recommendations, was incredibly patient with us, and consistently checked in to make sure everything was good. His attention to detail and customer service really made our experience stand out. Out of all the Gen's locations we've been to, this was by far the BEST customer service we've received! Myles deserves recognition for the amazing job he does. We truly appreciated his kindness, patience, and attentiveness. We'll definitely be coming back!

1 Star If I could…read moregive this place 0 stars, I would. My family and I went to GEN Korean BBQ last night for a family dinner, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. This is now the third time in the past six months that I've visited, and I've consistently noticed what I believe to be the managers appearing unhappy, snappy, and unwelcoming. I will say that the food was okay, and our server was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the positive experience with our server was overshadowed by the behavior of management. What really stood out to me this time was witnessing one of the managers screaming at their employees. As a paying customer who came to enjoy dinner with my family, the last thing I want to witness is management treating their employees this way. It was incredibly unprofessional and in poor taste. Employees deserve to be treated with respect, and management should be setting a positive example rather than creating an uncomfortable environment for both their staff and customers. After reading other Yelp reviews, I've noticed that I'm not the only person who has had concerns about this establishment. I've come across multiple negative reviews mentioning how unhappy the servers and other staff members appear. It honestly makes me wonder whether the way management treats its employees contributes to the atmosphere customers are noticing. After witnessing a manager screaming at an employee myself, I can understand why working here might be a miserable experience. I wouldn't want to work somewhere I felt disrespected or embarrassed by the very people who are supposed to lead me. Management sets the tone for the entire workplace, and the way employees are treated can absolutely affect the atmosphere customers experience. What makes this even more disappointing is that my family and I have been coming here for over a year. I remember when there was a sweet young woman who was a manager, along with a few other managers who were genuinely kind, welcoming, and always greeted us with a smile. I haven't seen those managers in quite some time, and I can only assume they no longer work there. The difference in the atmosphere since then has been noticeable. It makes me wonder what has changed and who is responsible for hiring and training the current management team. Based on my experiences, there seems to be a serious lack of professionalism and customer service skills among the managers we've encountered. And unfortunately, the problems aren't limited to management's attitude. The last time we visited during the summer, there was absolutely no air conditioning. It was around 100 degrees outside, and with the heat from all the grills, sitting inside the restaurant felt like absolute hell. I understand that restaurant equipment can break, but customers should be able to enjoy their meals in a reasonably comfortable environment. For a restaurant chain like GEN Korean BBQ, I would expect the basic comfort of its guests to be a priority. That experience, combined with everything else, left me questioning whether customer satisfaction is even a concern for this location. This establishment has seriously gone downhill, and it's disappointing to see. The food can be decent, and the servers can be wonderful, but that doesn't make up for poor management, an uncomfortable dining environment, and the behavior I've witnessed toward employees. After multiple disappointing experiences, my family and I will not be returning. At this rate, I genuinely question how much longer this location can maintain its customer base if things continue this way. Ownership needs to take a serious look at what's happening, evaluate its management team, and make meaningful changes before it loses even more customers. We used to enjoy coming here, but sadly, it is no longer the experience it once was.

It's definitely above the average Pho place.. but not the experience I'd want to wait 45+ minutes for. Service was attentive during the initial ordering process, after that we were pretty much forgotten about. I don't think intentionally. I think they just assume you don't need anything else, and they're so overwhelmed with customers that their main priority is getting everyone in and out as quickly as possible. I tried a few appetizers, pork and shrimp fried roll, fresh bread and other items. All great! I also opted for the filet mignon pho. Broth was absolutely fantastic!! However, the portions are small! My main complaint was the amount of noodle and filet I received. A very small portion that left me unsatisfied. I wouldn't see myself craving this place. If I'm in the area, I might eat it. I don't think it deserves a 5 nor does It deserve a 3! An affordable and above-average pho place! Try it at least once.
