Koreana Grill

Amazing experience! The all-you-can-eat meats were perfectly marinated, tender, and great quality, but the real star for me was the banchan. Everything is made in-house and you can tell--the cabbage and radish kimchi were fresh and crunchy, the pickled radish had a perfect tangy-sweet flavor, and the cucumber salad was super refreshing. The service was just as good as the food. The waitresses were all so friendly, gave us great recommendations, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Delicious food + warm service = my new go-to spot for Korean BBQ. Can't wait to come back!

Good brisket, galbi, pork belly, and beef belly. Sides and meats were buffet style. The banchan were tasty and they had the standard ones plus some tempura stuff and ice cream. The only issue was that they would run out of certain items and you would have to ask a server to refill them, like meat, california rols, rice paper, and plates.

Pretty good service, quick food, and value for money. After having an appointment in the area, I looked for an ayce place. This fits the bill. During weekdays from 12-3:30... they offer buffet @23.99 .... all other times , it's 32.99 ... I was a single diner and was led to a booth. It's basically a buffet style thing... you're able to get whatever you want and cook it at the table.. They have cooked items and meat that you can grill.... They have all the basics for meat... beef brisket, pork collar, pork belly, bulgogi, spicy pork, teriyaki pork, teriyaki chicken, spicy chicken, tripe, and marinated calamari.... They also offer a couple of soup, plain rice, fried rice, dumpling, pumpkin tempura, squid tempura.... Banchans were a lot as well... radish kimchi, kimchi, tofu, seaweed, radish wraps, bean sprouts, salad, lettuce wrap, different sauces, Oranges and ice cream for dessert... They're pretty quick to refill the table so thats a good thing. In terms of ambiance, it seems like the place does its thing.... meaning it serves its purpose... the staff are quick and would change the grill for you if they see that it's almost burnt... they are quick to refill your drinks as well.... The staff are mostly Koreans as well. Sweet Ajumma and kind ahjussi.... Will definitely return for their lunch weekday buffet.., Meat quality was pretty good.., Bulgogi marinate wasn't too sweet I like the calamari... the tripe didn't hurt as well. :) the chadol had good marbling and pretty thin. Only thing is that you will smell afterwards so Protip: bring febreeze or an extra shirt.

Food? Amazing. Self-serve style? Genius. Prices? Totally fair. The place? Spotless. The staff? Straight-up rockstars--friendly, fast, and on top of it all. P.S. Learned the hard way that the cabbage is just decoration... not a side dish. Will 100% be back!

Choices of meat ! Friendly service. Feels like home after a couple of visits. Enjoy spending the time to cook and eat.

The restaurant is buffet style bbq, so it was not very fresh. The meat kept falling apart. I don't think we will come back.

Food is amazing, view is uniquely nice, service is great. Always lovely and delicious food:)

First things first the owners are so sweet & very friendly, they make you feel like home!! Not only that but he carried a conversation and you can tell he loves doing what he does! Food was a plus! 10/10

First timer here and everything was delicious. Buffet style for a good price. My kids enjoyed it and we all left really full.

What a great Korean BBQ spot in the Middle of Corona! Nice all you can eat, buffet style menu. The meats are fresh and plentiful. Be cautious with the Korean Potato Salad.....it is addicting and will fill you up before you can enjoy the great meat variety. The prices were as expected with some premium f Items to order separately. We will definitely be coming back.

The bathroom is disgusting and should have 2 stalls. When you have a line outside the women's bathroom and go in and find out the toilet is backed up. That is bad! The food is mediocre and not enough space in the booths. Service was OK. YOU REALLY NEED TO UPDATE THIS AYCE. ITS MAKING THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE LOOK BAD

Really unique Korean bbq experience! I've never been to one where it's buffet style but it's better like this so you can just grab what you need. The meats were good quality and all of the sides were fresh! Servers came around frequently to switch out grills and dishes and were so nice! Would definitely recommend this place

It's a buffet style where you pick meats, banchan, fried appetizers and rice from the buffet. The grill is pretty small and they only have one grill per table. Our table was a group of five and we were hungry in between meats cooking because the table only has one small grill. After being sat at our table we didn't see our server until 1 hour into the meal. That was to change the grill. This place gets busy and a line forms outside so get here early or expect a wait. The bathrooms are single stalls as well.

Had to audible and find a last minute place to eat due to the protesting in the downtown Riversidearea. Just had a wonderful celebratory dinner here! Not my first time eating at Koreana Grill. There was a big line outside but the wait was reasonable, 10-15 minutes. Food came out quick and was fresh. The food bars were fresh and stocked. The servers were nice and cordial. Very solid place to take people to and have great time eating and drinking soju!

Came here for the first time I must admit I was very impressed. The quality of food was very good. Service was excellent. Had plenty of room to enjoy food. However it was a little bit hot a seat and kick in very well overall will try again.

Food is great and I don't have to wait for the food! U serve it urself! The staff is also real friendly! Always attentive! Great place to eat even when there's a wait

https://youtube.com/shorts/SbEUAyzHhr0?si=VlxEiWICh3qkN0Hu My family's favorite Korean all you can eat buffet in Riverside. See the full video @ YouTube/CuriousCathy & follow us. This restaurant doesn't disappoint. The food is great, the servers are polite & fast, the ambiance is just right! Our favorites are the beef, Bulgogi, beef, brisket, calamari, beef tripe, Japchae, potato salad, and their side dishes on the buffet.

This place is good value for the price. It's not in the best plaza but it's worth the visit. There is usually a line during normal peak dinner hours. It's the kind of KBBQ where you can get up and get what you like at the buffet bar and their premium meats are controlled by using the paper menu system with your waiter. But they do bring out as much as you'd like. It's once price, not tiered pricing like other places. The place is not the cleanest and their bathrooms could use some work, however the food makes up for it. They also have warm prepared foods like fried rice, tempura veggies, and gyoza. They have soft serve machine with either chocolate, strawberry or sometimes mango syrup. Service and staff has been great each time. You can sign in with your phone number and wait in the car until they call you to come in. Free refills on soda. If it's your bday they play an overhead song for you.

this place was really good!! my family loved it and it was a great selection for meat, but i wish there was more side dishes. super good nonetheless

I hope this helps. Yes sometimes there is a wait. Sometimes the wait is really long, call ahead. The food is great the service is top notch. Grill changes, soda refills and specialty meat orders are all handled very quickly. Most items are self serve which I enjoy they do have some specialty meats that you have to ask for but i think it's to help keep food waste down. If something is low they usually refill it rather quickly and if it's not just ask they are pretty quick. Anyways you won't be disappointed. Can be a little warm on a busy night but I mean it is what it is. Oh the ice cream is soft serve and kinda milky, but really good.

One of the best places and affordable to eat. I love that it's buffet style and you can grab what you like. We have been going here for 4 years now. It's not the typical koren restaurant where they have corn or rice cakes. It's straight to the point which we love meats and sides. The service and quality is always amazing. On weekends always a wait but for the price and food it's the best

Koreans Grill is my favorite Korean AYCE in Riverside County! I live in Temecula. There are about 3 AYCE KBBQs in the area, but I'd rather drive all the way to Riverside for lunch at KG. The quality and value are incredible! I also love the self-serve buffet set up, so you don't have to wait for your order to arrive. There's a huge variety of condiments, salad, kimchi, and marinated meats to choose from. Parking lot is not that big, so space is limited.

We are super loyal to another KBBQ but decided to try this place and I think it's my new favorite! The meat is really decent, it's not a huge selection but it's all the main favorites, and the flavors are outstanding. Best bulgolgi sauce I've ever had. What really impressed me was the sides and extras! You're not just eating meat all night, they have every side you could ever want! Even noodles and broth to make soup! All types of veggies and pineapple to grill, dumplings calamari rice all kinds of appetizers.. multiple sauces. Made it such a full exciting meal. I was in awe and can't wait to go back! Plus so friendly!!

Awesome service Great attitudes all around Great set up Food is delicious Plus soft serve dessert Staff is friendly and help you if you have questions Don't be afraid to ask !

Great service and customer service is very friendly and attentive. Clean and cleanly environment Ambiance is very good to come with your family.

Good food. Staff is very friendly and helpful always happy we like to eat here. Our daughter and her friends go here a lot.

Always my favorite AYCE Korean bbq location the food is always good. I never feel like I'm stressed with time as the service is always quick and the ambience is always nice sometimes it can be crowded but it's always the same service which is good.

came here past 1pm, still busy. but the service is always fast. love the beef belly fresh meat and server are very attentive about changing the grill.

Food was pretty good. Only thing was the waiter kept forgetting to bring the sides we asked for and sometimes the meats too.

Went on a Saturday around 3 pm and paid $30/person which I believe is the dinner price because it's the weekend. Also got a peach soju and a soju bomb (beer and og soju). One of the servers/hostess, Nancy, actually taught us how to make the soju bomb. She was so kind and friendly, and I'd definitely come back just to see her again. The whole place was clean and had a modern interior with booths galore. I love their buffet concept for the meats and sides since one of the biggest downfalls for kbbq is waiting on refills. Definitely one of my fav kbbq spots in Riverside for quality of meats and price!

Food was tasty recommend the beef bulgogi, buffet style no waiting for you food to come loved that you can grab and bring back to your table and cook. Service was amazing constantly checking on my table for refills. Dinner time offers extra specialty meats the California rolls were huge and tasted fresh. The room was clean not too loud but also not quiet. Plenty of privacy between booths. I almost wanted to gate keep this place but they deserved a review. They offer ice cream and a few syrups on the side my wife and daughter had some and said it was good and creamy No ice crystals like at other buffets and restaurants.

I've been coming here for years, and even during COVID, I made it a point to visit. I dined outside, and they went above and beyond during such challenging times--it was clear how much effort they put in. They truly did an incredible job. Even now, everything remains top-notch. The service is consistently excellent, the food selection is fantastic, and the dishes are always delicious. Happy to say this place gets a solid 5 out of 5 from me!

Wow what a layout! Our first time here was great we ended up coming after the wait at another restaurant was 2hrs!! So glad we found you on Yelp. The buffet style set up was spectacular! I like to ration smaller portions of certain meats so that was a breeze here.. we were skeptical of the quality of meat due to low price and short wait but after the first round we were sold! Meat was delicious, salad was fresh and crispy and yummy vanilla ice cream to seal the deal. Thank you! You've definitely made regulars out of us

This place is now in my top 5 Korean BBQ spots! Food: I absolutely love that it's a true all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. You get everything from salads, side dishes, and sauces to your choice of meats right at the salad bar. No need to constantly ask for more meat--you can just go up and get exactly what you want. 100% perfect. Service: The service is quick and efficient. The only time you might need a server is for a grill change or drink refills. Ambiance: The ambiance is great. While the seats could be a bit roomier, they were still comfortable enough to enjoy the meal. I'm sad I didn't get a chance to take pictures, but next time I visit, I'll definitely snap some. I highly recommend this place Thanks for the meal! I'll be back for more

I was looking for a decently priced Ayce KBBQ spot for lunch on the way back from Coachella and I am so glad found this gem. Immediately walking in, we were greeted by the host asking if we here for lunch special pricing and excitedly said yes and got seated right away (there was ample seating around 3pm Monday as expected, but I was surprised there were more people than I thought there would be at this time). Self service was amazing because we were starving and we quickly helped ourselves to all of the banchan, garnishes, sauces, and of course the meat, they had to offer. They had all the fixings (sesame bean sprouts, broccoli, potato salad, kimchi, radish kimchi, green salad, fish cake, japchae, rice paper, white rice, sesame oil, brisket sauce, spicy paste) which was already amaing because a lot of places usually are missing some of these that I really love and then there were some offerings I don't normally see water kimchi, green onion strips, lettuce leaves, jalapeno and ssamjang (last 3 usually only come with bossam) but love them so I'm so happy they had this. They also had some appetizers that I didn't care much for (pot stickers, tempura, fried rice) but still a nice add. They had a basic selection of meats (brisket, thin pork belly, pork jowl, bulgogi, and chicken) and the mouthfeel definitely varied on how long that batch was has been out, but overall the quality was always great - nice red color and marbling for the beef, not too much fat on the pork belly, good marinade on the bulgogi (not a chicken person at KBBQ so can't comment on that). All in all, I usually am looking for the whole experience with Korean bbq, so to have such good quality of meats, a wide selection of really flavorful side dishes and garnishes, soft serve, and a super friendly staff, really made this place stand out to me and I would love to come back and recommend this spot to whoever is in the area.

Awesome Korean bbq place, most things are self service Food was great but only issue was when we wanted to order galbi it took a while for a waiter to get to us, otherwise everything was great

I have been going to Koreana Grill for years! They are a local favorite for my family and friends. The food and service is great for AYCE Korean BBQ.

Friendly service. Great staffs. Reasonable price. I like the self service vs. Placing order with the sever like other kbbq. Because you have to wait if your server is too slow.

Food was amazing and top quality. Price is definitely justified. The best customer service I've ever had at a restaurant! Definitely recommend!

So much better than GEN! This is my first time coming to Koreana grill I was recommended by my coworkers to come here and I have only tried Gen and one other kbbq spot. This place by far beats those two. Price was worth it , and the customer service was excellent!

Got greeted about 4 minutes after arriving, asked for table and got a large booth. Calamari is good, veggie tempura is good, burners on tables work okay not great. It is an okay place to eat, but at 23.00 all you can eat, I'll go elsewhere.

About time I leave a review. Love this place Being able to get up and get whatever meats, veggies and sides/soups I want is a plus! A couple menu items need to be requested but they're fast. Always ready to change out the grills and super friendly

There are enough meat selections. There are also hot foods like fried rice, veggies tempura, pot stickers, and calamari. Calamari was good, not tough. There are many sauces options to go with the meats. Beef bulgogi or beef teriyaki, not sure which one, that was good. I like the pork belly, cooked to crispy. All the sides are good not the best, fish cake was salty. Service was good. We came on Tuesday so it was not too busy.

Lo mejor de lo mejor servicio excelente, la comida super rica, el ambiente es agradable

Seated quickly for 2, fresh food, amazing service and overall would recommend. Came around dinner time: 8:30pm. Chatty and comfortable ambiance.

Minimal wait even though the place seemed very busy. Very modern layout and atmosphere. A DIY style of Korean BBQ. The staff will set you up at a table, give you a rundown of the rules and you are on your own lol. It's up to you to go to a meat bar or the other bar that has veggies, soups, and other non-meat items. You grab up everything you want to cook and return to your table to start your feast. There is also a small side menu for "the good stuff" like shrimp or scallops, so be sure to order those early, before you get full. I personally loved the kimchi here, it has a nice crisp bite to it with a little bit of heat which I like. The staff can get a bit busy so we had to wave them down from time to time to refill drinks and ask for tableware. Likely to return though, had a great experience here.

A bit pricey and meats are not premium. They are low end. Side dishes are not that good. I'd rather go to wang Cho it's better if you are in this area.

Very good food, loved the buffet style and the staff was very friendly! They were very fast with grill changes.

I love how you're given the ability to get your own sides and meat. There's also an option to request for meats that aren't self-serve through a check off list that's picked up by the server. The quality of everything is fresh. The restaurant gives off the usual Korean bbq ambiance. Customer service was attentive enough to take your dirty plates so that it doesn't stack up and they come often to check if a grill change is needed. The best part was the magical soft serve. The creamy vanilla flavor is so simple but left such a huge impression. I'd come back again, no doubt!
