Delicious all you can eat barbecue at Jeong Won! Loved the Wagyu and other beef the most, couldn’t get enough of it. Really relaxed vibe and like the all you can drink fountain drinks. The staff was great, very friendly and took the time to clearly explain things and checked on us often. Definitely recommend!

Wow brings you back to home with the quality and service. They consistently asked to change the grill plates. Made sure our plates were cleared and was just overall attentive! The quality of meats and seafood was excellent. The lamb and wagyu was mouth watering. The side dishes was plenty, fresh, and delicious.

My husband and I had a great time here, it has a cozy and cute vibe. The food was so delicious too, we got up to get more four times! Shoutout to our server, Andres, who was so friendly and attentive the entire time. He made sure we had everything we needed and explained the food bar well, he added to the great experience. For the price, this place is beyond worth it. If you’re looking for delicious KBBQ with great service and a welcoming vibe, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

Fabulous little gem that our family discovered while having a celebratory dinner. We had just finished up a jiujitsu tournament and adults and kids ventured to this awesome restaurant to refuel. My kids are 7 and 6 and pretty picky eaters. I was a bit worried what they would eat. Well, this place is so family friendly... let me tell you why! We got a wide assortment of meats for the adults and the marinated wagyu, bulgogi, chicken and bacon for the kids. The kids loved cooking their own food on the table top grill. The loved being their little chefs. They munched the rice, grilled broccoli, and carrots and chased it all down with some miso soup. The adults were well-fed with he beautiful assortment of veggies and accoutrements. We loved that we could help ourselves to the food! The service was stellar. The wait staff graciously tended to our large party and changed the grates quite often and really tended to every person in our group. Bravo on a wonderful spot with great welcoming vibes and showing us new comers what the experience is all about! Our picky eater kids are like champs and can't wait to come back!

This place exceeded my expectations in every way. Food was delicious, everything was super clean and fresh, service was impeccable. One thing about this place is everything is self serve from drinks to food. I personally love this because most places that claim to be AYCE grab the meat for you and limit portion sizes. The meats, vegetables, sides, and sauces were all delicious. The entire restaurant and even the bathroom was clean and obviously taken care of. The young girl who was working was attentive, making sure to clear plates and offering grill changes when needed. Excellent service!!! Wish I could take this place back to the east coast with me ):

Come here at least twice a month. No waiting for meat refill, buffet style. Wagyu and other meat selection is excellent, precut, no need to cut it with scissors. Unlimited fountain drinks. Best of the best when it comes to food, service, and atmosphere.

Very good place! I really enjoyed the experience, great variety, fresh ingredients and best of all “No time pressure”. Very friendly customer service overall. The best part of this place is that it can accommodate to your diet habits, either vegetarian, carnivore, keto, gluten free etc. Super recommended.

My husband and I have been loyal customers of Jeong Won Korean BBQ for years, and we've witnessed the changes over time including the rise in prices. While some might see it as "pricey," there's a reason we keep coming back, time and time again: it's worth every penny. What sets Jeong Won apart from other all-you-can-eat KBBQ spots is the freedom to customize your experience. You're not limited to pre-selected trays or wasteful portions you can get as much or as little of exactly what you want. The variety is unmatched, with an impressive spread of meats from beef and poultry to seafood, along with an abundant veggie and side section that always hits the spot. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and inviting. I especially love reading all the quotes on the wall it adds a personal and thoughtful touch that makes the space feel special. It's the kind of place where you want to take your time and enjoy the experience. Customer service here is consistently excellent. Every team member is attentive, friendly, and always making sure your grill is fresh and your table has everything you need. We've never had a single complaint, and that's saying a lot. Jeong Won is more than just a restaurant it's a place where memories are made. From casual date nights to family celebrations, this has become our go-to spot, and it always delivers. The owners should be incredibly proud of the environment they've created. It's clear that quality, hospitality, and heart are at the core of everything they do. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Korean BBQ with great vibes and top-tier service look no further. Jeong Won will always have our support.

One of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. This small restaurant is incredibly welcoming and friendly. The two girls working during our visit were attentive, always clearing dishes quickly and checking in to see if we needed anything. They serve the standard selection of meats (nothing too unique), but everything was fresh and well-prepared. The marinated wagyu was our favorite. On the other hand, the marinated bulgogi, which is usually my favorite at KBBQ, was just okay. The bathroom was also impressively clean, which you don't see often. My only small complaint is that they didn't have soda water. Overall, I'd give it a solid 4.5 out of 5.

The food options: they had a nice variety of options, meat, vegetables, side dishes and condiments. I really like the option to choose the exact food I want to grill and this place allows for that... that way was so good. Service: they were very attentive to our table, changing out the grill plates often so that we weren't cooking g on a burnt grill, that was important and made a difference. The owner (Erwin) checked in on us multiple times (this was much appreciated and nice to see ownership checking in on customers, shows pride in their business) he even offered us some hot tea at the end of our meal. Ambiance: anytime you walk into a restaurant and smell grilled meats cooking, it's always a good thing. Relaxed non-rushed setting. We will continue to come back here as we truly enjoy K-BBQ and this is that with a twist.... See you again, Erwin

Too pricey! $41 per person plus tip. The place looks old and it's self serve. If I knew it was that much ahead of time, I will walk out of there. I will never go back. Food was good like any Korean bbq place and the sides, but it's NOT worth it. Found a place in Vista $23 per person sounds better.

I recently found out about this place and love it. Most Korean BBQ places have the servers bring out the meat. So you're at their mercy of how much or little meat they want to bring you. Sometimes you are brought a ton of just one type of meat. Because of this, I have hated eating all-you-can-eat BBQ by myself. At Jeong Won Korean BBQ you go up and grab everything yourself, including meat, veggies, the sides, and drinks. It's so nice being able to grab exactly what you want and how much of it you want. Thanks to the self serve style, I can grab a large variety of meats though at smaller portions and get to try a little bit of everything. There are small, medium, and large tables for different party sizes. Depending on the time, the restaurant may be packed! For the décor, they have a lot of interesting quotes and pictures on the walls. In addition to the meat and veggies, they have so many different varieties of sauces, dips, and seasoning. Four variety of salt! Horseradish, wasabi, Chinese mustard, and so much more. I never would have known how much I love Korean BBQ meats with Chinese mustard! I usually don't like pork bulgogi, but I love the spicy pork bulgogi here. They leave Wagyu beef just like any other meat and I dream about their bacon. I came here 3 times in the month of December!

Great quality, great quantity, good value. Jeong Won is the most recent KBBQ experience that I've had and I have probably dined at over 30 locations in the Southern California region between LA and SD. So far, this is the most genuine Korean BBQ experience that I have had. The biggest difference between this restaurant and other KBBQs in the area, aside from the great quality of their food, is the self-serve aspect which I enjoyed a lot as it gave way to a very cozy dining experience where I didn't have to worry about flagging down busy servers and keeping mental track of how long ago its been since I ordered more meat. The quality of their meats are stellar which boggles me considering this is a self serve restaurant. They had a huge selection of different proteins, cuts, and preparation styles. They also had a large selection of vegetables and sides; larger than anything I've seen in San Diego so far. They also include free soft drinks with your meal which is available via self-serve. Finally their condiment station offers a pretty sizable variety of wet and dry condiments to enjoy your meal with. The only thing that I find to nit-pick at this restaurant is that it is a tad pricy compared to other restaurants. In my experience, I was able to attribute the higher cost to the better ingredients and the inclusion of soft drinks. Altogether, I had an awesome experience and I will find it hard to enjoy other KBBQs without strictly comparing it to this restaurant in the future.

It's a smaller Korean barbecue spot in the heart of Convoy. The waiter seated me and my guest. It's a self serve which has its advantage on the portion of meat I can get. It can eliminated the waste of meat. I can get my own soft drinks. They have iced teas and couple of sodas. My favorite meat choices were waygu, short ribs, beef tongue and pork belly. They have a sauce bar, veggie options and other meat choices. The ambiance of the restaurant reminded me of a home vibes of random quotes on the wall and decors. I would say the quality of the food is great but can be better. It's still a great spot for self serve purposes.

My friend wanted KBBQ so this was the closest spot. Though there may be plenty of eatery spots, for what we were looking for, we picked correctly. AMBIANCE: Parking: It's in a plaza however you're in Convoy so it can get pretty busy so do come early if you need to prep time for parking especially during lunch and dinner hours. Seating: Inside seating, room for maybe 50 people. Great for groups. Vibes: Welcome to Convoy! There are plazas and plazas of good eats! The spot itself is simple. It's nothing too flashy just a few pictures of food and some nice positive quotes displayed around the restaurant. I dig the lite rock music. Great place for group outings or a lowkey date night. FOOD: Meats (Recommend) Wow! It's basically unlimited. The setup is unique too. I'm usually familiar with servers giving you the meats but you basically go and get it yourself - with your choice of how much you want. You have your ground, air, and seafood, enjoy! Sides (Recommend) I really can't provide any recommendations since everything is good here. However, I would try to minimize your carb intake so you have more room for meats. The miso was nice to help digest food. Also, I would recommend trying to save room for frozen yogurt. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people and helpful! TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Lovely! Great selections, reasonable prices, and a pleasant ambiance. Would I come back here? Most certainly! However in respect I do feel like I should try the other KBBQ spots but if I get too lazy or I need a go to, then this is my spot! TIPS: * Come hungry!

Been here a couple of times ,i like its Korean BBQ buffet and that it's Self-serve, I can get as much meat as I want, and no limit on how many times I get it. The quality of the meats is just okay, flavors on marinated meats its also just okay, but that is why they have these sections of all the condiments you can use to put in your meats. Service is great, they are quick to pick up our used plates and change out the grill. Inside has many Fun Quotes to read on their wall. Parking is a challenge here too, we made a couple of rounds before we found a parking. This Korean BBQ buffet is just okay.

Best Korean barbecue restaurant. No waiting for servers to bring food that doesn't match an order. No having to worry about time. No shortages. And the food is top notch. Along with that, the servers here are so chill and welcoming. You will really feel like you're at home you're here the moment you walk in. 11/10

Fantastic all-you-can eat Korean BBQ with self-serve stations so you don't have to wait and ask for specific cuts of meat to be delivered to your table. Why can't all KBBQ places operate like this?! Absolutely brilliant! The kimchi selection is brilliant as well. Loved the option between fermented and fresh baechu kimchi (napa cabbage). Plenty of seating for groups big and small. A mind-blowing selection of dipping sauces and generously sized saam (lettuce wraps) to make your Korean lettuce wraps.

This is our families go-to Korean BBQ in San Diego. Plenty to choose from, but we like coming here. Probably because its DIY! Just so much more convenient and not having to wait for service. Get up and go get your meat, sides, sauces, drinks, rice, and almost everything, at your own leisure. Parking is a serious pain, but we do our best not to let that bother us. There's street parking, but geeze that is even hard to find, so you have to be patient till someone leaves. Warning...these parking spots are small! Can't wait for our next visit back! PS....its fun to read all the different quotes, notes, etc on the wall. There's some I took a picture of attached here.

Jeong won has always been our go-to for KBBQ. But we've noticed over the last few years that it is slowly going downhill. There always used to be a long wait list but the last couple of times we've come here, we walked right in because the place is EMPTY. The meat selection is good, but not any better than other places that are much cheaper. After our visit today, we probably won't be back. Not only are they more expensive, the fee to pay by card is a ridiculous $7!! and when we questioned our server about it, she was pretty rude with her response. Really though, who even carries cash these days? So long Jeong Won .. thanks for the memories. It was a good run, but this family of 5 will not be coming back. You just lost years long faithful customers. Good luck!

I remember Jeong Won as one of my first experiences of Korean BBQ and that was yearsss ago! I've revisited Jeong Won more recently and was impressed by the no-frills vibes. You come in, all you can eat and drink (soft drinks/teas/water) as you please. I'm sure there's a time limit as that's the norm for AYCE. I thoroughly enjoyed the selection of proteins available. My faves were wagyu, short rib, pork belly, shrimp and mussels. You can help yourself to the banchan bar where you can find japchae, steam egg, fish cake, assortment of pickled veggies. The quality of the meats are pretty good and at this price point, still a decent deal.

Came here with my boyfriend and we absolutely loved this place. We just missed the lunch rush and had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Owner's sister Leah was there and welcomed us with such open arms and made sure we tried everything! She was kind and created such a fun and enjoyable ambience. Even tried some mussels! The food was absolutely delicious and we loved the buffet style selections! Overall, this place is amazing and we will DEFINITELY make this our spot!

Glad we found this little mom and pop shop! It was opened an hour earlier than other Korean BBQ places. And it's definitely better than most Korean BBQ places that is self service. Smaller place though. Since we came pretty close to opening, everything was available and nice and neat. The owner even came around to talk to us. She was super friendly and talkative. I like the fact that you control your portions since I came with 2 other people. I didn't have to eat what they were eating. I got a variety of things and went back for the meats I liked. I also love their banchan choices. I got everything. Good kimchi and japgae too. Then the salad bar had a good selection too. Came with fountain drinks. Great sauce bar! It's more expensive then other kbbq in the area but I like portion controlling and I get to pick what I want without finishing a huge plate of it.

Love that this restaurant is still in business! Came here in 2010 when it was the first and original AYCE KBBQ. It's very simple here. Serve yourself with meats and veggies. No need to wait for a waiter/waitress to reorder. Just keep stuffing your face for as long as you can! Downside: parking is rough.

A friend recommended this hidden gem so I decided to check it out while I was in town. Loved the "grab your own food" concept, you don't see these types of restaurants much anymore. No more waiting for staff to take your meat orders, just get up and get it yourself. The quality and variety of meat was great and sliced just right, but where this AYCE KBBQ restaurant shines is the variety of banchan and sauces that you won't find anywhere else. I didn't count, but there were about a dozen different sauces to pair with your meat. I visit SD a few times a year and will be returning here every time I'm in town.

Met here for lunch with the fam on a weekday afternoon, pretty convenient that this is the only Korean place open early around 10am! I really like the self serve concept as I feel bad when Korean bbq restaurants bring out all those side dishes and I don't eat much of it. I love seeing all the different sauces I can use and that I can get my own quantity of anything. Lunch was $41 but hey it's all you can eat and came with drinks and dessert. The server was attentive and kept the buffet bar clean. Great experience, I'd probably get here early cause I can see it filling up fast!

This is one of the OG KBBQ spots to hit San Diego and I've been going here since the late 2000's. The price used to be more affordable back then (about $20/pp) and they used to have a self-serve ice cream machine that was legit McDonald's quality. It's gone through a few changes over the years, but Jeong Won will always be top tier with their unique self-serve buffet style selections. With options like beef tongue, American wagyu, and short ribs on their standard selection, you really can't go wrong. There's always a crowd here and always so lively inside. I especially love all the clever quotes that have been plastered all over the walls and bathrooms since they first opened. With so many other Korean barbecue places that opened up in San Diego since then, it's crazy that Jeong Won is still one of my top choices. Jeong Won walked so they could FLY lol.

It was my first time here and I love everything about this place! It's practically self regulated. The food is self served buffet style with a covering when not in used, they're broken down by meat/seafood, veggies, sides, sauces. This is a huge plus for me because I get to grab my portion size without feeling the need to finish my food without waste and extra charge. Fountain drinks are self served but if you want oolong, black, or green tea you'll just need to let them know to bring you a cup. I don't know what their soup options are but I had miso and that'll also be another request for them to bring out. Ambiance is low light, homey, oldies music, no time limit which was another plus for me because I get indigestion when I feel rush to eat my food from the typical two hours limit. It's quiet/low noise good for me who wears hearing aids on both ears, and everyone being mindful of each other. Customer service was great! Let them know when you want your grill changed out or when ready to pay. I'll definitely come again when I feel Kbbq. It's too bad I didn't take photos because I was too engrossed enjoying my time there. Some food to look forward to (can't remember all the options): Marinated wagyu, wagyu, pork brisket, short ribs, pork belly, marinated chicken, beef, seafood, garlic, lettuce, potato, carrots, broccoli, zuchini, sour/reg kimchi, radish, lots of other banchan options, rice, and rice wraps, and so many other options. I tried to have as much I could try but next time. Overall I paid about $40 including tip.

Great self serve concept for AYCE KBBQ. The sides are absolutely delicious and you can get as much as you like in whatever combination you like. The meat selection is also awesome with once again, your ability to get as much of only the proteins you want. Our favorite KBBQ spot in San Diego!

First review, but I came here to say the service was amazing. It was our first time here, as per a recommendation, and Chris was a friendly, great server to us. He answered our questions and helped us pick out the best meats. We really enjoyed the food. Loved it, thanks Jeong Won! :) p.s. I definitely recommend coming here hungry! So many options since it's an AYCE and all around lovely atmosphere.

This is a great place! It's cozy and the people are very friendly. The food is excellent--it was my first time at Korean BBQ and they were very kind about explaining the process. The sauces are delicious and the cuts of meat were very high quality. We had a great time and I'll definitely come back!

truthfully, might go again but not in my top 3 what makes it worth to give it a shot: * not too busy * kind employees - one of them offered miso soup to me which was nice * unlimited drinks (unlike other kbbq places where they charge by the can) * you get up and get whatever meats, however many you want * unlimited sauce options * marinated wagyu and short rib were probably the faves at our table * BUT not gonna lie, the interior design is all over the place... there's a lot of cheesy quotes and signs, not sure what the theme is * definitely needs some updates to location * no dessert

We love to take my parents here since my parents aren't too big on red meat and this is the only AYCE KBBQ I know of that includes fish, shrimp, and squid seafoods! There are sooo many sauces and we love trying them all. There are also many sides and condiments available. Another plus is soda and tea are free. The most stand out feature of this AYCE KBBQ place is that you serve yourself buffet style. No more having to wait for someone to bring you your portion-limited meats allows for a more continuous and enjoyable dining experience. There have been so many times at other places where the orders take forever to come out or they get forgotten completely. During the time spent waiting, we lose our appetites. The workers do a good job of keeping the self-serve stations clean and food-safe. Servers are friendly and attentive. What my family loves the most about coming here is supporting a small local business. The owner is a very sweet and friendly woman who checks in on all the customers and tries hard to make a good experience for them.

Great place! We took our daughter for her birthday. We love that you get to grab the meat you want to grill as you want it and not waiting for the server. Great variety of meats, seafood and sides. We also love the variety of sauces available. Service was amazing as well!

Went for the first time and we loved it. It had the best price of $41 with taxes from all the places I searched up. I really like that it's self serve so I can pick the quantity of meat I want and don't have to wait to order more or for them to bring it out. Plenty of options to choose from as well and everything tasted great. The staff is also very nice and always making sure you have everything you need, they even offer a tour if you're new.

Been to every K -BBQ in convoy except this one . Tucked away in a plaza looks small from outside but is good size..single menu price ..what is nice about this place is it is self serve ..there are over 16+ meats/seafood with some premium items like wagyu and beef tongue. Self service drinks as well. Good quality meats... hoods are large here so you don't get smoked out too much ..reasonable price . This is definitely a recommend !

If you're ever in the area Treat Yourself. We were originally going to go to another restaurant. But I wanted Korean BBQ we ditched the hotpot next door and walked into a hidden gem. Feels homely, you pretty much serve yourself like if you would be at mom's house. Meats options are great. sides are good. sauces are on point. You won't be disappointed

The food was plentiful and fresh. So much fun getting to cook and enjoy the food and the social part of cooking while talking and eating at the same time Even though we get our own food, still the server was always around to help. The fish was great...my favorite...and the different ways they prepare their chicken and other meats and veggies for us just makes it an all around fun and healthy way to eat...

A big shoutout to Andres! He stepped up during the busy lunch rush on Sunday and handled everything--hosting, serving, cleaning tables, bringing us drinks, and checking in on us throughout our meal. Most importantly, he kept a smile on his face and made sure we had great conversation. This place is lucky to have him. The food is amazing--while the prices are a bit higher, it's absolutely worth it due to the top-notch meat quality and the relaxed, unrushed atmosphere. I love the variety of Bonchon options, including different types of kimchi, spinach, steamed egg, and all the sauces and seasoning you could ever want. We'll definitely be back!

5/5 Stars: Exceptional Korean BBQ Experience! I'm a self-proclaimed food connoisseur, and Jeong Won BBQ Buffet has exceeded my lofty expectations! Located at 4690 Convoy St #104, San Diego, CA 92111, 858-292-4670 this hidden gem is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean cuisine. The moment I stepped into Jeong Won, with friends I felt the warmth of OHANA - a Hawaiian concept that embodies the spirit of family and friendship. This family-owned restaurant truly embodies this philosophy, treating customers with care and respect. Their all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ buffet is a culinary paradise! With an impressive array of meats, fresh vegetables, and traditional Korean sides, and numerous types of sauces, every bite is a flavor sensation. Cook at your table to your hearts content! What sets Jeong Won apart is their exceptional hospitality. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Korean culture through food. They care about their customers..."family"! In short, Jeong Won BBQ Buffet is a culinary gem in Kearny Mesa. If you're seeking an authentic Korean dining experience with outstanding service, vegetarian offers as well look no further! Mahalo (thank you) to the Jeong Won restaurant for sharing their love of Korean cuisine with our San Diego community! *Highly Recommended!* G.

I absolutely love this place! My favorite Korean bbq spot ever! I I don't want to tell people about this place because I don't want it all for myself. The food is made with love. You can taste it.

My friends and I were looking for KBBQ that opened early and we stumbled upon this gem - it's a cute little mom and pop Korean bbq place that's not your typical all you can eat. It's buffet style so you can pick the meats you want and how much you want of each, as well as all of the sides you want and a plethora of sauces! The owner was super sweet and came around to check on us often, and the decor was very cute with all of the funny and inspirational quotes. The price is a little high, but I guess that's how things are going with inflation. Drinks are included so that's always a plus! We'll definitely be back!
