Bullgogi Korean BBQ

Great quality meat. I love the options and ilthe value is great a lot cheaper than other ayce kbbq that doesnt have as good quality meats or selection. I drive from korea town to here. Service is great, friendly and helpful. My goto spot for kbbq.

I’ve been to a lot of Korean BBQ spots, but I can easily say this was one of the worst experiences I’ve had. While the food was "okay," the service was so poor that it completely ruined the meal. ​From the moment we sat down and ordered, we felt completely unwelcomed. Our waitress seemed miserable and made it very clear she didn't want to be there. We were a party of 10, and rather than accommodating a large group, the staff treated every basic request as a "daunting task." The lack of attention was frustrating. Several items we ordered never even made it to the table. We had to ask for the same things multiple times. For a group dinner that should have been fun, the energy from certain staff was incredibly dismissive and cold. ​If you are looking for high-quality meat and service that actually makes you feel like a valued guest, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. There are far better options in Koreatown or out in the Valley that actually know how to handle a crowd. ​Save your money and skip this one.

It’s become my go-to spot for a reliable, no-stress meal. The menu has a great variety without being overly complicated, which usually means everything is done well. I’ve been here for both a quick lunch and a slow dinner, and the service has been consistently attentive without hovering. The kitchen is impressively fast during the rush, yet the food still comes out looking beautiful and tasting fresh. If you’re looking for a place that delivers exactly what you expect (and sometimes a little more), this is it.

I came as a group of 5, there was a bit of a wait but they sat us quickly! I drive from Rialto here because it is my favorite kbbq! Their bulgolgi is amazing and the server was so attentive! The owner is always helping and is very kind! Definitely worth the wait and drive! :)

Came on a Saturday and got the $20 menu. The sliced pork belly, beef brisket and beef belly were all very juice and soft . The kimchi and cucumber was very good . Staff is very attentive and nice i will definitely be coming back

It was crowded upon entering the restaurant yet got seated right away. You have 3 menu choices for each price per group not individually. All the meats were surprisingly flavorful and aromatic after its cooked. The staff was very attentive, easy to obtain and orders come out rather quickly, the atmosphere was Melo and lively with Korean K pop videos playing in the background as our food simmers to a crisp texture. Dessert was just ice cream, but unlimited as well! Overall good dining atmosphere and quality. I recommend all who live the taste of Korean cuisine to come dine here, bring your appetite, it's worth the fair price of the menus. The only con I would write is, the lack of side dishes, there were hardly 5 small dishes, but we came for meat, not small side dishes.

Highly recommend Bulgogi Korean BBQ! The meats were high quality and delicious, the drinks were great, and the service was quick and attentive. Myself and three of my friends enjoyed every minute of our experience. Everything came out fast and fresh, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy good food with friends. We’ll definitely be returning again!

This used to be one of my favorite KBBQ places, I’m sad to say that their Customer Service policies i’ve significantly gone downhill. Just went in for lunch on Thanksgiving, got told I can’t be seated because I’m one person. Their new policy is if you’re solo person Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and holidays, they will not seat you. It’s already hard having nobody to celebrate holidays with, because your family is not here. But to be humiliated like that in front of the whole restaurant was uncalled for.

Fast service, nice neon vibe, fast and attentive staff, and free unlimited ice cream.

Great service. The meats are fresh, the restaurant is very clean. The experience is great overall

Great food and service! Servers were highly attentive and were able to accommodate our large party. Love coming here every year with the boys. Highly recommend!

It was my first time here and it definitely won't be my last! Parking was a breeze as a lot of other office buildings were closed so there was a lot of regular parking outside. It was super busy for a thursday night but I only waited 10 minutes or so to sit down. The layout of the restaurant was very interesting. I did like the huge open kitchen area in the front where the servers would be able to grab items since it made it pretty efficient. Service was incredibly quick and I like that the portion sizes weren't giant. I was able to try a lot of different meats. Multiple servers would always check up on us every so often and get sides replaced instantly. Food from the C Menu: - Banchan - I loved all of the banchan. Kimchi was fresh and not sour. Cucumbers were delicious. Ddukboggi was super tender and soft. - Sauces - They were solid. No issues - Meats - LA Kalbi was marbled nicely, Tongue was great, Flap Tail steak was not bad but I think I was just so full. Brisket was good but I think I liked the fattyness of the Beef Belly better. Short rib was very well seasoned as well. - Steamed Egg was absolutely delicious. Overall, I had a wonderful experience here. I used to work at a KBBQ place so I know service and efficiency. I was thoroughly impressed! Price point is great with different options. Thank you so much for the food and experience Bullgogi! Will definitely come back to try the other meats! Only thing bad was that I WAS SO FULL and couldn't try more items so definitely come here with more people so you can try everything on the menu :(

Run down hole in the wall. Service from the female older waitress was excellent. She was prompt and visited our table several times. I wish I could say the same about the food. We only had the beef bulgogi, beef belly and brisket. Everything was chewy and extremely tough. We gave it 3 tries because my son keeps saying it's good. Maybe we came on off days. Each time we came back, the meat was tough, too tough to chew. I spit out several mouthfuls into my napkins. Also, the banchan are horrible and there is not much variety. How do you screw up kimchi and cucumbers. The chili sauce in the red bottles was expired the last 2 times we came. And had a rotten smell. You get what you pay for.

Amazing ribeye bulgogi!! This kbbq place had one of the best bulgogi I've tried, and for an amazing price! Staff was kind and service was efficient. The place was clean, and tables were big. There were times were staff forgot some of our order, but they got things sorted at the end. We also ordered their brisket, which was also good, and their marinated spare ribs, which was subpar and very chewy and hard to eat. Unfortunately, their ice cream tasted a bit off, so i wouldnt recommend it unless you're looking for a spinoff of the original 3 (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) flavors. Overall, their ribeye bulgogi is what sealed the deal, with its spectacular marbling and delicious marinade. For its price ($21/person for course A), I'd definitely come back.

This place is pretty good! The AYCE meat is flavorful and good quality. I really enjoyed my visit. We were very hungry and ate a good amount of food. My favorite was the sirloin steak. Such a good amount and it seared so well. The octopus was really good too. Very fresh food. I will return. Service was very attentive. A ton of different staff came by to refill water and asked if we needed any more side dishes or meat orders very frequently. We were well taken care of. There is self-serve Thrifty ice cream too. I got black cherry.

BEST JAPCHAE EVER! I actually come here specifically for the japchae, it's amazing and I quite literally dream about it. The spicy beef bulgogi is INCREDIBLE and my favorite type of meat! The customer service is great and the employees are very attentive. It's always busy when I come, especially on the weekends! This is one of my favorite Korean BBQ spots and I've introduced multiple people to it. You can't beat the prices and quality. They play good music and have clean bathrooms. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Price to value - 10 stars Meat choices from B selection- terrific Service- On point with water refills and getting the sides in a timely manner Ambiance - old school, vents don't work I really enjoyed coming here. Meat choices were great. Slight marbeling, not not melt in your mouth great. Some cuts were awkward. One was shaped like a Y. So cooking It evenly was almost impossible even with the shears. What really docked a star for me is the constant smell of fabuloso. The guy who busses the table seems to be really efficient. However due to the ventilation, you can smell the cleaner and it just dulls the taste of the food. But other than that we enjoyed this place. Egg pot was fast and tasty and the usual panchan is good. You can ask for sesame oil, comes in mustard container. Just don't mix the ketchup bottle (sriracha) and mustard together. Bubblegum and vanilla flavored thrifty ice cream was hard as a rock. Our server was excellent. We will be back because he did it all!

It was delicious! So affordable and everything was yummy. Loved the sweet ladies serving us. They always made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a scruffy looking hole in the wall, but that's how you know the food will be amazing. Big place though, so not a small hole in the wall. Happy my friend introduced me to it. Great tradition to visit here when going to Disneyland. It'll definitely fuel you up for walking all over the park.

Good service even when busy. I've been here multiple times at various times of the day and the service and meat quality is always really solid, even with the cheapest menu. If you come here in the morning the service is the best, no one's around and you can tell the workers care. Best part is the price. One of the cheapest kbbq ayce spots with proportionally good meat and service. One of the few downsides is how greasy and oily the floor feels.

I've been waiting to come here but of course lines have always been super long because of how affordable and great this place is! I got Menu B and it has all the meat I wanted and decent amount of sides to choose from. Ventilation is also great here. Will definitely come back

Amazing food and service as always. The staff is so nice and some of them even recognize me and my girlfriend now! Last night we think we were taken care of by a new server because we haven't seen him before and he was fantastic. Our server Kevin was consistently checking on us and making sure we were enjoying everything. If he is a new server, he's already doing a great job!

Second time at Bulgogi K-BBQ in Garden Grove, and I'm impressed. I judge a K-BBQ spot by two cuts--beef brisket and pork belly--and both delivered. Brisket gets an A-/B+ from me: tender, flavorful, great marbling. Pork belly is a B/B-, but still solid. What I appreciate most? Consistency. Every round came out with the same meat-to-fat ratio--no "first plate good, second plate meh" situation here. Family-owned, hands-on owner, and a great vibe for either a casual dinner with friends or bringing the family. Staff are friendly and attentive. It does get smoky inside, but they keep the AC cool so you're comfortable while you grill. Solid quality for the price--especially compared to AYCE spots charging almost double. 4 stars. I recommend :)

Came here after Disneyland and this place did not disappoint at all! Great staff, good hype music playing, ambiance, the food was good and the side dishes had tons of flavor. They were always attentive to our table, and ice cream in the end for our kids was a bonus since it is part of the meal. Ample amount of parking as well.

TLDR; decent kbbq at a great price, but service speed and meat quality shows Bullgogi is situated in a shopping plaza on the northwestern side of Garden Grove. The first thing you will notice is the dimly lit interior, followed by the loud chatter of fellow KBBQers inside. The lunchtime price is very attractive, and the place is always filled. The meats are decent and the salad is fresh, but note that service speed is quite slow due to understaffing (I guess that's one way to keep the price down, which is fair but hard on the servers who are quite nice). Sometimes the cuts of meat you get look like "scraps" though... but if your primary goal is to fill up your belly and don't care about appearances for instagram or whatever, this place is great! Note that I didn't have any photos this time -- I was too busy stuffing myself with beef brisket

5 stars for being the cheapest kbbq in town! The quality is good too. Service is whatever but the food and price compensates for it. The floor is very slippery bcuz of all the fat from the meat flying off the grill. I've been here many times and will come back again

5/5 if you're ordering from the $20 menu. I did a lot of research and this is the CHEAPEST ayce kbbq in all of OC (that I could find). This is my second time going and it has all the essentials- 떡쌈 (rice wrap) and 무쌈 (radish paper). They even have a FREE Thrifty ice cream bar with rotating flavors!!! Also service was pretty good despite being so busy!! There are a lot of 아줌마s working and that's how yk it's Korean certified!! Btw this is in a pretty big plaza so lots of parking. The meat itself is fine (can be hit or miss) for $20, I think the low ratings come from people who had too high of expectations lol. Here are things you need to be aware of to have realistic expectations: 1. The air circulation is not great- I always come dressed prepared bc the first time I was sweating sm BUT IDC FOR $20 AYCE!! 2. The interior is pretty old but you can tell they're trying to be trendy so I appreciate the effort lol In conclusion, if you're looking for a good deal with pretty authentic flavors (I'm Korean so trust me yw) this is the spot. If you're looking for nicer quality and interior like a date night and ur not broke- this is not the spot.

Meat is fresh and great quality. Sides are very good. The staff is super friendly. Air flow is limited at times I was sweating while eating here but I would still come back. Hopefully they get their AC working.

We came here for dinner the other night, and you really can't beat 20 dollar kbbq. Meat was solid, lighting made it hard to see if things were cooked though, and you can smell the meat when standing in front of the door so by the time you leave the scent has gotten into your clothes and hair. Would definitely come back.

I wasn't expecting much after seeing the price but this is One of the best AYCE Korean bbq places I have eaten! The quality of meat is very good and they have a good variety of side dishes, service was also great.

All you can eat for just starting at $21! Unbeatable for the amount of meat one can order. Banchan and bbq, all basics covered. Not much of ambiance here but it feeds the masses for the price one pays here. Standouts were the bulgogi steak and pork belly. Yum!

Came to Korean bbq because hubby was craving. Bulgogi is still fairly cheap. Smelled good as most Kbbq places do right when we walked in. We came at a good time right before the dinner rush. A lot of tables were open and we were seated and attended to right away. Service was fast, accurate, and friendly. I asked for a fork and a side of steamed rice from the waiter. We ordered from the B menu. Hubby ordered several meats: beef, chicken, and pork. I ordered beef bulgogi and chicken bulgogi. Yummy!

Affordable AYCE KBBQ, $20.99 for their regular menu and $26.99 for the premium menu. They had a good amount of meat selection including the usual such as brisket, brisket belly, bulgogi of various cuts of meat, short rib, pork belly as well as non red meat options like marinated chicken and squid. Wish the meat had a little more flavor, but solid for the price! They also had solid banchan, my personal favorite was the Korean potato salad. Perfectly whipped and fluffy! Also had a yummy steamed egg that was perfectly fluffy. Service was quick and attentive, they changed the grill at appropriate times and the food came out quickly. We went on a random Monday night so it was not crowded and we got seated quickly for a group of 7. Nice casual place for affordable AYCE KBBQ with friends

So initially it was a good experience, I came here with my two friends, service was as expected for how busy it was getting but over all they were pretty attentive. Getting to the food part, the first couple rounds were good. The brisket was tangy and tough most likely old, small intestines were very very bitter. I'm not sure if I'm just not educated on beef belly but the last round we ordered it had bones in it and the first couple rounds we got did not. Getting to the part that was the worst, I was woken up in the middle of the night to the worst abdominal pain and nausea, I thought I was going to throw up. My other to friends had the same symptoms. We will not be coming back to this place, very unfortunate.

Overall a great place to get delicious and reasonably priced kbbq. & it comes with thrifty ice cream as dessert! 10/10 food is so good!! My group of friends chose menu B. My fav dish was the spicy pork bulgogi. Great flavor to it. I'm an avid corn cheese eater and I would say this one was mid. The corn and the cheese itself were not the best of qualities. They also have AYCE self serve thriftys ice cream!!! Tbh the ice cream was my fav part of the whole meal haha 100000/10 service was spectacular!! There was a lady that was so on top of serving us. Come to find out she was the owner! She was so attentive and sweet to us. 9/10 price is def cheaper than most places. We chose menu B. before taxes comes out to $24.99 with tax and tip comes out to $31. Not too bad!

love this place, prices are unbeatable my go-to kbbq spot whenever im up in LA, great selection for meats and sides, the ambiance was great and the employees are very hospitable

My favorite AYCE go to. This place never disappoints me. It's not exotic or high end, but the food is great and the staff are attentive. Best KBBQ value in the area

This place was the perfect spot right by after Disney. They have three sets of menu. The service was quick and the meats were very good. Best of all they have free ice cream. Very fast service and you get your money worth.

The price is the standout of this spot. However, it feels like the cuts of meat have gone down over time. Also it's your typical greasy kbbq spot. The floors are greasy, the tables are greasy, everything is greasy. I'd rather go to Star BBQ and pay a little more to get better cuts, but that's just me.

Meat is really good. Good mix of fatty and lean cuts. Service is great and quick. If you need someone, servers are close by. Parking is easy and ambiance is good.

This used to be one of my favorite KBBQ places, I'm sad to say that their Customer Service policies i've significantly gone downhill. Just went in for lunch on Thanksgiving, got told I can't be seated because I'm one person. Their new policy is if you're solo person Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and holidays, they will not seat you. It's already hard having nobody to celebrate holidays with, because your family is not here. But to be humiliated like that in front of the whole restaurant was uncalled for.

This used to be my go-to child hood spot! They used to be self serve but now it seems like they swapped to the traditional service. Our expectations were blown away regardless, it seems like the new system is working. The restaurant was laid out in a way where the waiters were able to attend to us and other tables pretty quickly. We fired off plenty of meats at a time and they took note and came back before we finished the current rounds. Show stealer of the night was definitely the steaks, the thicker cuts here cook really well and are pre-seasoned (can be added more) to your liking. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a modern KBBQ experience in OC :)

An outdated resto. you get the quality , for the price you Paid. Time for a new renovation.

Went here midday on a Friday, and it was not crowded at all. It's an interesting vibe in the middle of the day because they have a lot of neon lights and blaring music (creating the late night ambience). What stood out to me the most about this restaurant was the pricing (~$26 per person with tip for AYCE) - you can definitely get a bang for your buck here. The options for meat did not particularly stand out to me from other places, but it does the job. Added plus was our waiters were constantly checking in on us and making sure we had what we needed.

I loved the great service! They had very kind and attentive staff. Also the inside was super clean and efficient

We came at 5pm on a Thursday, there were only a few people eating so we had amazing service. They had plenty of workers and they constantly asked if we needed anything. First time here and pleasantly surprised. Portions were great and pricing is good.

3.5/5 - Great tasting side dishes and the steamed egg. The cucumber dish was made with the wrong cucumber type so the skin was super hard to eat. Main issue is the inconsistency of meat quality. Ordered brisket and the first plate was tender and the second plate ordered was cooked the same way and came out dry and chewy like leather. With the subpar meat like that, then it make you really think "ah, this is why the cost is cheaper than other places"

Came here to meet with some friends amazing service. The food was fresh. We didn't have to wait long for the portions of meat we ordered and we had a large party. I will be coming back

Affordable And hits the spot! Beware of busy times throughout the day.. 20.99 for basic A and I get my beef belly, bulgogi, brisket fix. With fried rice and the fixins, my go to living in garden grove that doesn't break the bank.

Price is good and interior is nice, great for big parties. I had a meeting scheduled with a friend's group here and we all finished work a bit late. Knowing they close at 11:30pm, we were expecting the place to give us some leniency and told the staff we understand the short timeframe to order until their last call. We've been here before a while ago and at that time it was earlier, but then we got turned away this time. They should really post their hours clearly some where. Well so I am posting here hoping somebody don't have similar experience like me and waste your time if you're close to their closing hours.

The food was incredible, as was the service. Every time me or my husband wanted to order something else, our fabulous waiter would appear within seconds. It was like he could read our minds! We stopped in today at about 4 pm and there was no wait. We selected Menu B ($25) which was an amazing choice. We got so much food for such a good price!!! Whenever we're close to Disney, we will for SURE be back here. This place is amazing!!!

If you are coming back from Disney resort at night & feel eating like a horse, you are in the right place. It is budget friendly as well. You may choose option A ($19.99), the most budget friendly option with quite a lot of meat option, or option B (24.99) with more variety of meat choices, or option C ($29.99) with optimal meat options. Our waiter and the owner lady were very friendly and attentive. Lots of big screen TVs were used to decorate the walls, bright and shining, and the musics blared from the speakers was a bit loud but gave a festive environment. Two restrooms, 1 for men & the other for women, were available, and were decently clean. No ev chargers were nearby within the parking lot area. Reservation may be made if you have large group event. Call the restaurant for detailed info. Meanwhile, Bon appetite & enjoy your kbbq meal!

Very friendly staff. Gave us some good recommendations. I'm stuffed- for just under $25. The other lace was pretty full around 1:30 on Friday- the day after Thanksgiving. Lots of families. I was here with my son- he's loves Korean BBQ and gave it a thumbs up!

Affordable prices and great service. Kind Server made sure there was always meat on the table and side dishes were full.

Server was attentive and replaced our sides every time we put a dent in them. Cheap and good bang for your buck

I came here for dinner on a Thursday night. Overall you get what you pay for and for 20.99 you can't beat AYCE Kbbq. Theres 2 options - menu A and B menu A is 20.99 and B I believe is 25.99 for a bit more variety of meats. My mom and I just don't much meats so menu A was perfect for us. The servers were VERY attentive and had great attitude/service. The meats were nothing special to be honest, some of the seasonings were a bit sweet. The sides were amazing. The floors are a bit slippery so be aware. It was quite busy when I had arrived but there was still plenty of seating. It's quite close to my house so will be coming back when I'm the mood!

I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could. My rating is based off of my experience and in comparison to my experience with other KBBQ places. I saw how popular and busy this place was so I thought I would give it a try. There's a constant crowd of people so I assumed it was amazing. Pros - the meats came out pretty quick considering how busy it was. Pricing is great for all you can eat. How alt a great price when you're on a budget and need a KBBQ fix. The staff were very nice. The taste wasn't bad but wasn't mind blowing. I've been to a good amount of KBBQ places and I see why people come here. I think I've just had better tasting food. Like I said, it wasn't bad... it just wasn't great to me. Not so great - when you walk in, you have to write your own name on the list. If you don't know to do this... you end up just standing there and getting skipped. I'm unsure if this is always like that, but it was when I went. They call a number so try and remember what number you wrote your name on. The restaurant itself is arranged well but a bit old. They have string lights that make a good attempt to liven it up. Because it was pretty busy, we had 2 of our orders missed but it wasn't a huge deal since we got pretty full off what we did receive. I never got the water I asked for (twice) but the soju kept me happy lol.

Don't be intimidated by the dated interior, sure it looks a little dingy and old but I think this place is well worth it. The meat quality was decent for a price that I haven't seen in the last 5 years. They had quite a lot of choices available and the service was very good with regular check in from our server. I will absolutely be eating here again when I have a hankering for kbbq!
