Part steakhouse, part Korean barbecue, with dedicated BBQ tables where staff cook wagyu and prime cuts alongside classic banchan, steamed egg, and jjigae. Covered by local media and the center’s directory; a splurge-y but memorable Irvine original.

Great food. Meat is fresh and cooked perfectly. Service is great, staff is attentive to detail. They picked off the burned parts and refill the side dishes quickly when they are low or empty. Ambience: nice decoration and quiet. Great place to have good meat with conversation with friends and family.

Their meat was really tender and marinated meat flavor was perfect for my family. Side dishes were tasty too. All the servers were attentive and had amazing skills to grill the meat. The restaurant was clean and the noise level was just right to have conversations without any disturbance. I would visit again.

Excellent KBBQ. Banchan (side dishes) all tasted great. Portions are decent. Chadol (Brisket) was little chew. Ribeye and short ribs were tender and juicy. Service was great. Now, don't need to go up to Buena Park for upscale KBBQ in Irvine.

I visited Marble for lunch with a group of friends based on a recommendation about their lunch specials. With prices ranging from $13 to $18, it’s a great deal, especially nowadays! I ordered the stir-fried spicy pork (Dwaeji Bulgogi, 돼지불고기) in Korean, which led to some initial confusion with the server—he thought I wanted the stir-fried soy pork instead. Since most Korean restaurants don’t typically offer a non-spicy version of this dish, it’s best to order exactly as listed on the menu to avoid any mix-ups. The banchan selection was a bit puzzling. We were served four side dishes: stir-fried fish cakes, marinated seaweed, sweet corn, and marinated cilantro leaves. Surprisingly, there was no kimchi. When I asked for some, the server explained that since someone in our party had ordered galbitang, they would bring it out. This left me wondering—does Marble only serve certain side dishes depending on what you order? In most Korean restaurants, kimchi is a given, not an optional add-on tied to specific dishes. Had it not been for the galbitang, would we have gone without kimchi altogether? Our table also ordered soondubu and doenjang jjigae, both classic Korean dishes, yet still no automatic kimchi. As for the food, it was decent. My spicy pork wasn’t particularly spicy, at least to my taste, so I asked for jalapeños and garlic to wrap with—items that weren’t included by default, even though they provided ssam (lettuce wraps) and ssamjang (dipping sauce). Overall, despite a few quirks, the reasonable lunch specials make Marble worth a return visit. I’d be interested in coming back to try their KBBQ (table grilling) to see how that compares.

Marble Steakhouse is a great, very great Korean BBQ restaurant. Everything here is so perfect: friendly, skillful, caring staff. Beef is so tender and juicy. Banchan is plentiful with many different dishes and good taste... The restaurant is very clean and has easy vibes. The desert is so impressive with affogato. Kevin is our helper today. He performed great skills, caring, and so nice. I would like to give Marble Steak 05 stars for all and highly recommend. Definitely, we will come back soon.

I used to visit here alot but last night’s beef combo was awful. Brisket tasted like frozen and was bad quality. Also the beef ribeye wa terrible… both were very chewy.. so we tried port jowl to see if it was a beef thing and pork was ok. The worst thing is that they also kicked us out cuz they said they are closing early due to lack of customers and not sure if that is the way to keep their business going. Pretty disappointed to lose one of our fav kbbq place in irvine.

We had our year-end company dinner. Everything was perfect. Spacious dining experience. Meat quality is not something you see everywhere. They cook them for you at your table. I cook my steaks at home, but they know how to cook the perfect steak. Very friendly staff!! I will come back again!!!

Spicy cold noodle Great service in grilling the meat for your table. Full bar of cocktails to pair with your dishes. What an amazing spot!!

Wow, what a wonderful experience! We've passed this place by so many times in the Woodbury shopping center thinking it was a traditional steakhouse. But don't be fooled, they certainly serve KBBQ, banchan (sides) and all! Let's get the money talk out of the way since that seems to be a major point of contention here. We got the $85 small beef combo, which comes with 3 generous meat portions (brisket, ribeye, boneless short rib), a beautiful spread (see attached photo), steamed egg & soybean soup. The spread also includes a sizeable kimchi pancake and 2 large shrimps. All of these was more than enough food for 2 people. We couldn't finish and ended up taking some home as leftovers (which you can't do at AYCE!). Most AYCE KBBQ in Irvine cost about ~$40 per person, so the price is very comparable. If you can vacuum down the meats like a savage, then yea the AYCE will be a better option. But if you want a filling and balanced meal, packed with different vegetables, then this is superior. Not to mention the employees grill the meat for you to perfection, and the quality of the meat is better too! You don't have to do any of the cooking. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be coming back when the KBBQ craving strikes again.

This place is my new favorite go to place for Korean bbq. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was amazing. We got the beef combo small and it was definitely enough for the two of us. It was $85ish for the combo which is very reasonable in my opinion. They had a wide variety of ban chan as well. They cook for you here. So good food, good service. What else do you need.

I came here on a date for a pasta night a few years back, not the greatest pasta I've had, but it was not bad. I will say the meats looked better at the other partie's table. So perhaps you're better off with the Korean bbq instead of the pasta! The appetizer were good.

I've only been for lunch specials but I imagine the kbbq is great too! Lunch specials wise the Hot stone pork dish is great. They give you a lot of pork. Cold noodles also a refreshing one to order. The banchan tastes fresh and delicious. Service is always great! They take reservations and parking is plenty.

Marble Steakhouse & Grille is a very clean and nice spot--you can tell they put effort into creating a sleek, upscale environment. Located in Irvine, it definitely gives off that polished, modern vibe. The food quality is good--nice cuts of meat and nicely presented. No real complaints there. But you definitely pay a premium for the experience, and for me, it just didn't quite match the value. While it's a solid option if you're looking for a fancier night out, I'll probably choose other spots that give more bang for your buck moving forward. Worth trying once, but not necessarily a go-to for the price.

Came here for Valentine's Day and it was a great experience! We were so surprised at how spacious the interior is, the high ceilings and dark woodsy vibes were so nice. They have large tables so they can definitely accommodate for larger parties We ordered the small beef combo which came with brisket, marinated boneless short rib, & our choice of either ribeye or non marinated boneless short rib where we chose the latter. It also comes w a soybean stew and steamed egg We ordered another boneless short rib which was highkey waaaay too much food for the two of us xD but it was delicious The side dishes were really good! I absolutely LOOOOOVE how they have raw marinated shrimp as a banchan bc like what other kbbq place has that as a side dish?!?! Absolutely amazing Only downside was that their kimchi was a bit bland but their kimchi pancake was super dank Alisha was an amazing server!!! She cooked our meat to perfection and was sooo sweet and personable She gave us free dessert which ended our meal perfectly I highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for some really good quality Korean bbq with great service and good vibes Can't wait to come back to try the beef tongue and pork belly hehe

Came here with my girlfriend for our four-month anniversary after a last-minute cancellation at Perch LA, and let me tell you--we left with absolutely no regrets! While I've always been partial to AYCE KBBQ, Marble Steakhouse and Grille completely changed my perspective on an à la carte experience. From the quality of the meats to the exceptional service, every detail of our meal exceeded expectations. We opted for the Large Combo, which came out to around $150 (tax included)--a price well worth it considering the portion sizes and quality of ingredients. The combo featured a generous serving of beef brisket, our choice between beef short rib or ribeye, and a beautifully marbled steak, all accompanied by mushrooms, chives, and onions. While we did have to wait about 30 minutes for a table, the experience proved well worth it. One of the standout features at Marble is that the staff cooks the meats for you, ensuring that each cut is expertly grilled to perfection. Every bite was beautifully seasoned, incredibly juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The brisket was an absolute delight--rich, flavorful, and incredibly filling--the perfect way to kick off the meal. The short rib and steak were served at a perfect medium-rare, showcasing the freshness and premium quality of the meat. Each bite was packed with bold, meaty flavors that paired beautifully with the side dishes. Speaking of sides, Marble doesn't disappoint when it comes to banchan! The meal came with an array of refillable sides, including kimchi pancake, fish cake, broccoli, and other traditional Korean accompaniments. The kimchi pancake was unlike anything I've had before--crispy on the outside, packed with flavorful kimchi and vegetables on the inside, offering the perfect balance of crunch and zest. To round out the meal, we were served steamed egg and tofu soup, both of which were fantastic complements to the meats. The steamed egg was light, fluffy, and perfectly cooked, with no burnt edges--an absolute must-try. The tofu soup was equally impressive, featuring generous portions of meat, cucumber, and tofu, all immersed in a rich, savory broth that tied everything together beautifully. Overall, Marble Steakhouse and Grille delivers an exceptional dining experience, offering top-tier meats, generous portions, and incredible flavors at a price that truly reflects its value. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an unforgettable KBBQ experience, this spot is definitely worth checking out. 10/10--will absolutely be coming back!

We got the small set of beef which includes thinly sliced brisket, marinated and non-marinated boneless short rib. Definitely enough for 2 people and they cook it for you. The banchan was a little different from other KBBQ places. I really like the jullienned green onions and the corn dish, that is something I don't remember seeing at other places. The decor inside is modern and feels new. The service was exceptional! I thought the brisket was decent, but when the set menu was a little pricier than at an AYCE restaurant I expected it to be better. It was a little dry unfortunately. The non-marinated boneless short beef had nice marble to it which came out in the flavor. It was very juicy and packed with flavor. We also got the naengmyeon or the cold buckwheat noodles. Refreshing with all the beef we had. But the star of the night has to be marinated boneless short rib. The flavoring on the marinade really compliments the beef. I believe it was soy based with a lot of garlic, which was right up my alley.

Marble has a lovely ambiance and a plethora of good side dishes. The employees were always on hand to help and they grill the meat for you. We came here for dinner and it wasn't busy at all, so it was an ideal place to chill and talk. If you're looking for a high-end K barbecue place with a quieter ambience then this is perfect. It is a little pricey for the quality of meat offered, but I would definitely eat here again for the service and atmosphere!

This place is a nice scenery away from ayce kbbq. You could tell this place focus on service and quality meat since it's not ayce. We were seated in the middle tables without the table grill but they cooked the meat elsewhere before putting it on our portable grill to keep warm. They were great in keeping our banchans refilled once they're empty, it's nice of them without having us to ask! We had a large party so we ordered 3 combos, as well as some other side meats and raw crab which was plenty of food. The crab was very flavorful and fresh compared to other Korean restaurants. They also provided us all with gloves to keep our hands clean. Come here if you want good quality Korean bbq meat!

Really good kbbq! We came in on a saturday night and it was pretty busy. For my wife and I, the small beef combo was great. The quality of the beef was good and we really enjoyed the boneless short rib and the marinated one as well. The sides were perfect and very unique compared to other kbbq spots. I would say the concept is similar to gooyi92 and baekjeong with the set meat combos and having the staff cook for you. However, the pace was way too quick. It felt a little rushed as they were trying to cook the food so quick, especially for my wife, who isn't the fastest eater out there. For the sides, we really enjoyed the scallion salad and the seakelp with garlic. I loved how they were generous with the portion when you ask for more. I did wish they had a better system for reservations. I believe you can only call ahead. It looks like theres no online reservation system such as opentable or yelp. Regardless, we will still be back.

The restaurant is trendy. The staff and servers are friendly and courteous. The great thing is the servers cooks for you. We ordered their set menu, Beef Combo (L) and their Seafood Green onion pancake. They were all delicious! Will definitely come back!

Came with reservations on a Friday night and their system seems to be out of wack despite now having been open for some time because the hostess seemed surprise to hear my name and asked me if I had a reservation despite me having "checked in" 15+minutes before that and having been told-- by the same hostess--that the staff was getting my table ready. In total we waited around 20 or so minutes from the actual start of our reservation time so it was not a great start. Then I sat down to a dirty napkin place setting so lost a few points there too. We ordered the large beef combo with short rib as our choice. The brisket was dry and unimpressive. The short rib was nicely marbled and melted in my mouth. That was the best meat of the bunch-- but unfortunately that was the only good meat so not much of a choice. The next marinated option was a bit lacking in flavor and we weren't excited about finishing it at all. Tasted like it had marinated for all of a few hours. Meh. The banchan also left a lot to be desired. The salad for one was brown at the edges... no thanks. The kimchi pancake was bland and soggy like it had been made hours ago. They didn't even have kimchi and all the banchan felt like easy put-together options-- nothing special there. Won't be back.

We were in search of an above average Korean bbq restaurant and we stumbled into Marble, I'm glad we did. While we did have to wait a while to be seated, our meal proved to be worth the wait. We ordered the Beef Combo (S), for two, which came with brisket, short rib and marinated short rib. Everything was great! And the banchan hit the spot from the moment we sat down. I'd stop by again for sure the next time I'm in the area and have a big appetite.

We love our local Korean bbq spot in Woodbury center in Irvine. Everything we had is amazing. From the meats to service, everything tasted delicious. Easy to park and great place for celebrations since they can accommodate large parties 6+. We've had a few family celebrations here and enjoyed it every time!

Love love love this place! Came here for a business lunch & my client ordered for me & every thing was delicious! The quality of all the meats were excellent! This was way better than an all you can eat place. All the side dishes were great. I love how our server is the one who cooks the meats for us. This place is so worth it! I'm definitely coming back.

Oops....After driving so far, this is what we got. Unbelievable. Just saying -- having well-educated staff would make a difference. At least when the meat is overcooked like this, someone might offer an apology. Maybe then the atmosphere wouldn't be so awkward.

I had the best experience here!! Everything was sooo good. The meats were melt in your mouth delicious and the banchans were addicting. This is most def one of the best KBBQ places in Irvine. There wasn't a single thing I didn't enjoy. Came with a group of 6. We ordered one of the combo sets and added pork jowl, two spicy cold noodles, and a seafood pancake. Everything tasted like perfection. We were stuffed. Service was top notch. Everything is cooked for you - shout out to Gary who did an amazing job! We didn't feel rushed or anything like you probably would at Baekjeong. I cannot wait to come back again!

We made reservation for KBBQ and were seated right away once arrived. Place was nicely decorated and spacious. We ordered the large beef combo and added beef tongue and spicy cold noodles. They cook the meat for you like Baekjeong, but the meat quality and service is a bit better than Baekjeong. Just disappointed that Marble doesn't have rice paper or seaweed. I like to wrap my meat with those. But overall the food and service is better than Baekjeong.

Our intent was to try their lunch specials but the lunch specials don't include KBBQ so husband and I ordered the small beef combo ($85) instead. It totally turned out to be a blessing in disguise because we were so impressed with the meat quality (and marbling!) of their brisket, boneless short ribs and marinated short ribs. Kevin expertly grilled the meats to our liking: so tender and flavorful! There are a LOT of side dishes here that are not offered in other KBBq's and oddly kimchi is by request only. Also there's no japchae (my super favorite banchan) however the combo comes with piping hot steamed egg, an even hotter soybean paste stew, raw shrimp and Korean pancake. We had a lovely lunch, the ambience is 10x calmer than the usual AYCE kBBQ, we didn't smell smoky at all when we exited and more importantly we didn't feel rushed. Thank you to Gary and Kevin for the delightful grilling and friendly customer service. We'll definitely try the stone pot lunch specials next time!

The food is always so good here. They give you a variety of side dishes and will refill for you when finished with it. The bibim naengmyeon was great and so was the beef combo. The beef combo came with 3 different types of meat with soybean stew and steamed egg. The service was ok, they were kind but took a long time to provide bowls and scissors. Usually they would provide all the bowls and scissors with the dish but they didn't provide.

Wow, this Marble Steakhouse & Grill offers super high quality KBBQ, and I love that it's full service in that one of Marble's friendly staff members will prepare and cook each cut of meat to your liking. We chose medium rare and everything was absolutely scrumptious! We also love that the KBBQ combo comes with so many delicious banchan / side dishes. My favorites are the kimchi pancake, steamed egg, and the flavorful soup, but all the pickled veggies are great too! The raw/marinated shrimp is also great for anyone who loves that texture. You'll get plenty of food with a combo, but if you're still hungry, there are a lot of yummy add ons you can pick to make your meal extra decadent. I love the cold noodles as well, and will add this on if I'm feeling like taking home some leftovers. Ambiance is very nice and doesn't feel stuffy, and restaurant staff is friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for the excellent food and service!

I had a great dining experience here. Upon reading others' reviews tho I guess their service and quality of food seem to be inconsistent. We had a reservation on a Saturday night. There was no line and the place was pretty quiet. We got seated quickly once our table was ready. Upon arriving at our table, I was wowed by the setup. The banchans were beautifully placed and everything looked delicious!! There were 11 barchan dishes, such as fish cake, pancake, mayo corn, cucumber, salad, etc. AND marinated raw shrimp!! They were very delicious! We ordered the beef combo- which included brisket, short ribs and Ribeye, as well soybean paste stew and steamed egg. Honestly food was really good, and quality was there. I hate to say this but I think our server butchered the cooking part. When the brisket first arrived, it was just sitting at our table, and no one came so after waiting for a bit I assumed that we had to cook for ourselves. I began putting brisket on the grill, and the server came rushing out and took over. He kinda commented on how I messed up on the brisket, which was confusing to me. All I did was put the meat on the grill, how much can I really mess it up really? He cooked the brisket way longer than I would've cooked them. To be fair, I'm also not a fan of brisket anyways and I thought the brisket was overcooked and tough. We had the short ribs and ribeye done medium rare, and they were very good. The steamed egg was so good, I would get a second serving if I wasn't overstuffed. I think the small beef combo is plenty for 2 to share. The interior was very classy and elegant. I also like how each table is nicely distanced, so that you don't have to hear other people's conversation involuntarily. Though they are similar to Baekjeong, Marble is a lot calmer in terms of atmosphere and energy. It's a nice option if you want to have a quiet, intimate Korean BBQ dinner.

Food The food was great for the price point. My dad ordered the Spicy webbed octopus rice bowl that came in a sizzling pot with a fried egg- absolutely delicious especially when the rice crisped up at the bottom (and only $15!). I had the spicy cold noodles (Mul Naengmyeon) that came with vinegar and mustard on the side. It would have been nice if there was a tad bit more broth (like maybe 1/2 a cup) but other than that it was still very filling. I can't believe it was only $13 with all the sides and a buckwheat tea. They also brought out this lovely beef and radish soup (not sure if it came with the octopus or my noodles) but it was really tasty and homey. Service Thank you to Pk and Gary for providing a lovely dining experience. Gary was on top of everything and knew the menu well. He was very articulate and generous with refilling our sides/tea. Ambiance It seems like an upscale Korean Place with the classic silver utensils and warm wood accentz. The inside is bigger than I thought with both outdoor and indoor seating, and it can accommodate large or small parties. It was lunchtime and very pleasant seeing other diners ordering lunch specials. Thank you!

I cannot stop RAVING about our experience at Marble! I've done all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ before, but like many, I'm not a fan of having to cook everything myself. At Marble, the chefs handle all the cooking and even cut the meat for you, making it such a stress-free and enjoyable experience. The ambiance of the place was so classy and beautiful--it really elevated the dining experience. On top of that, the staff were all incredible, ensuring everything ran smoothly and making us feel so well taken care of. Here's what I tried: * Thinly sliced brisket * Marinated boneless short rib * Boneless short rib * Steamed egg * Soybean brisket soup * Beef tartare * Beef pancake Everything was absolutely delicious, and the quality of the food was top-notch. This place truly takes Korean BBQ to the next level. Highly recommend it!

Quality of meats is fantastic! Beef tongue and brisket were both very meaty with the right consistency when chewing. It is more on the pricey side, and it seemed a bit understaffed. Spicy pork was also delicious, but the spicy cold noodles could use more flavor. Portions are a bit small, however it's overall a great experience to try out once.

Wife and I tried it for the first time and ordered a small beef combo. Plenty of food for 2 people and everything was great quality. My only critique is the service was not as good as I hoped when you're dropping over this kind of money for kbbq. Servers weren't very friendly and didn't really check up on us.

I've been here quite a few times before since they opened up because they are right down the street from me. It's been good but service today was beyond horrible. This has been the worst service I've received from any establishment in irvine. Unfortunately, the front desk staff member who picked up the phone is very incompetent. I asked a question and she said kept saying "uhhh uhhh" four times and said can you call later? I asked her if she can just ask the chef available regarding a specific ingredient but she was lazy and asked me to call later. I asked if she could please put me on the phone with someone else, finally said okay and made me wait for a few minutes before purposely hanging up. I called back, she picked up and hung up again. It's disappointing that Marble has a lazy and incompetent staff member answering calls. This is not at all what I'd expect from Marble and I'll be letting my community know to longer come here

I have heard many decent reviews about this place and decided to give it a try with a friend visiting from the bay. I called in on Monday morning to make a same day reservation for 5:30pm. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess who showed us to our table which was already neatly set up with a large variety of banchan. My friend and I opted for a beef combo (S) and we almost ordered the beef tartare to try it out. But the waiter thankfully forewarned us that it may be too much food. When the meats came out, we were ultimately glad we didn't decide to order more. The grill was coal powered which added an extra char to the meats. The brisket was good but also a little on the lean side. Maybe the cut was just a little leaner, but it was a bit drier than we expected. The star of the night was definitely the marble fattiness of the short rib. We opted for extra short rib instead of the ribeye, and the short rib was so tender and just melted in your mouth. You could definitely taste the quality of the beef. The interior of the restaurant was very modern and gave more of an elegant vibe compared to your usual KBBQ spot. Ventilation was also set up very nicely and the waiter was very attentive in helping us cook our meats and refilling the banchans as well. My friend thought the experience was comparable to baekjeong but in a more upscale setting.

We celebrate our wife birthday at Marble but there's a lot things that we left disappointed - BBQ place with a lot of table without grills - Service always slow and a lot of times we have to go look for someone to service - Meat quality is nothing special - The meat was prepped at the other table next to us, but the ribs were raw and nobody even bother to cook it - We come here thinking they would have more options besides bbq but they only have bbq and their bbq ix extremely limited - Lastly when we asked to clean up half of the table so we can share the birthday cake. The waiter slides the bucket of dirty dishes on our table to clean it from one end to another

If I could give 0 stars I would. Terrible and I mean terrible service. Confirmed a reservation. Showed up on time. Staff told me to wait. Waited about 20 mins and they told us it'd be another 5-10 mins. At the 30 min mark, gave up and left and then they called me at about the 40 mins mark and told me my table was ready. So glad I was already happily parking at Bakjeong instead. Do better. Like the restaurant was 3/4 empty and staff were literally just standing around. Plus one lady was grilling meat at an empty table. WTF?!?!

I've been here 2 more times since my original review. While a lot of what I didn't love about the restaurant still holds true, now that we have a better sense of what to order, both follow up meals have been overall better experiences.

Such a fun experience! One of the great places that we have tried this type of cuisine. Amazing food, service and vibe. Freshly served veggies and meat. I highly recommend this place for celebrations, dates or casual small or large family gatherings! Our chef's name was Sky and she did an excellent job! We will definitely want to come back here again and bring other families and friends!
