Mother's Korean Grill

Once again a 10/10, just can't grow old of this, it's too good to say no to a craving late at night lol. Food was amazing, service was on point even though it was pretty busy and the music and ambiance was peaceful. Especially after a long day at work!!

Nice BBQ place, definitely gonna come back again. First time been here, service are good

Absolutely amazing. Danny might be the best server in all of Korean BBQ lore. Worth the wait....!

First time here and wanted to share my experience! There are a lot of parking stairs here, so you will always find a stall. We walked in at 5pm and we're immediately seated. It helps to know that when you enter, you know which tier you're going to get, then they will seat you with that menu. We ordered, and it food started coming out within minutes. Most everything was very good, the only one I questioned was the pork belly sampler. It was good, just that they almost tasted all the same, though they were seasoned differently. Again, still very good! Overall, very satisfied! Our server was awesome, lightning quick with all our orders! We will be back!

The food was good. We went with the lowest rated set but were stuffed by the end of our meal. Our server Danny was also very helpful and friendly. Good service and bang for your buck.

As always food is good. It's our first time ordering in menu C to try out the Kobe beef. It was delicious and I don't really know how to differentiate Kobe beef vs A5 Wagyu. The service is excellent, and it's our first time that they left the iPad in our table to order the meats. We can just directly order through that. It was a packed night, it was Valentine's Day after all. We reserved online through Yelp and the wait time was 1 hr. And the wait times is pretty accurate.

888 Korean BBQ is on my top 3 Korean BBQ places!! My general concern after a few not so great experiences is that at times the flavors and meat quality doesn't always ended up being the best and no one wants to end up with subpar flavors. This could be user mistake or based on the great experiences I've had I do think it has to go a lot with the quality of ingredients and meats! 888 Korean BBQ surpassed all of our expectations! It was on our must go to list after a glowing review from my sister's coworker. We got on the waitlist and waited about an 1.5 hrs before our table got called. There's a lot to see around there so you can walk to other shops while you wait and they'll text you when your table is ready. We got seated and our waiter explained the process. You pick from three different menu options. If you're going with others, just make sure you're all in agreement about the menu choice (A (Angus): $27, B(Prime):$33, C(Kobe):$44)). If one person picks menu B, everybody in that group has to go with option B because food is served family style. Individually everyone pays the $33 for their food course. This has to do with the quality of the meats as well as the different food items available in each menu. Our waiter also informed us that you have 90 minutes to finish everything you ordered. There is a surcharge for anything that isn't consumed within that time. We ordered the following: Mini Handrolls - Snow Krab, Salmon**, Spicy Tuna**, Shrimp Appetizer: Chicken Karage**, Fried Dumplings Salmon Poke*** , Crème cheese wonton BBQ: LA Kalbi** , Fillet Mignon**, Beef Bulgogi**, Beef brisket**, Garlic shrimp**, Korean chicken** Not in picture : Side of Salt* , Siracha Kimchi**, bean sprouts, greens with ginger dressing, Sushi Ginger**, White Rice, Sesame seed* oil, Chili paste*, Spicy Miso Ramen**. Everything with an asterisk is a must have! My favorites were the Salmon Poke I had two bowls! The Beef Bulgogi, fillet Mignon, everyone loved the Miso ramen, and Spicy Tuna! When you're ordering you order by the piece so if we wanted one serving of an item for each person we had to say 6, when a person wanted something individually you ask for one serving. Also although the rice is good I'd say skip the rice and fill up on more proteins!! After going over what we got I realized that there is still a ton we didn't get to try! I'd also suggest asking for a side of salt so you can season the meat to your liking as well as having the additional sauces for dipping. It's also a must to have some sushi ginger! We completed off our meal with some S'mores and finished everything!!! Our waiter was great and the place is clean and you can see how fast they are working to make sure everyone has what they need! Can't wait to go back to LV to taste the things we missed!

This review is long overdue. 888 Korean BBQ was outstanding: the meat quality was excellent, service was top notch (orders arrived very quickly and staff stopped by frequently to see if we needed more food), and the booths were very spacious and comfortable. The meat and the three tier pricing are very similar to 888 Japanese BBQ, the side dishes and appetizers are different. The two of us went with the Kobe. The meat was delicious and we had more than enough to eat!

This has hands down been the best meal of the year and may remain that way for quite some time because the bar is set real high here. First, the service was stellar, I'm talking constantly asking if we needed anything, taking plates away when done, helping with the cleaning of the non-stick grill. The booth we had was huge and thus we had so much room to move about and cook. They had a booster seat for my LO. The food was delicious and the selection is on point. I would come here again and again!! On top of that, it was quick service, so whenever you wanted anything, it was right there within seconds. Everything about the operations and quality of this restaurant was on point! If I would to come here again, I would get: All the hand rolls Spicy Tuna on crispy chips Steamed Egg Seaweed Salad Beef brisket Thin pork belly Pork Taro

This is, hands down, the BEST Korean BBQ I've ever had. I'm so glad I got the chance to try this spot, and now I can't stop thinking about it. I'm already planning my next trip just to come back! The meat quality was outstanding, it was so tender and flavorful, it practically melted in my mouth. Their side dishes were just as impressive. Very versatile, delicious, and the perfect complement to the main event and every bite was an absolute delight. On top of the incredible food, the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, regularly checking in on us and making sure our grill was changed at just the right times. This place truly exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to experience it all over again!!

"It's our problem but you don't get to dine here because we require a minimum of 2 person" on Xmas eve! After waiting for 2 hours. They pointed me to some post somewhere (yeah good luck noticing that for 3 hours queue), and their reservation system allowed 1 person anyway. If you were the management I want to call your mom something that you certainly know what that is, and if you were the front desk congrats to be so stupid and inflexible for just one person which the mistake was yours. Someday you will meet someone who will be REALLY mad and make you regret it (or you be in the hospital anyway so saving your regret).

Came here for the first time with my friends. Ordered the bbq all you can eat premium which included everything the normal choices are plus Kobe beef which I think is definitely worth getting, but you can only order Kobe beef once per person so make sure you claim that one otherwise, if you're not gonna eat it, then order the normal all you can eat choice so it's cheaper. We came a little after they opened this morning and we got seated right away. Luckily, we did because it got busy real fast and a line formed. There were a lot of great choices to choose from, but the Kobe beef belly, brisket, ribeye/NY strip, and Kobe beef were my most favorite. A bit pricey, but definitely worth going once in a while. Go if you can smash some food to make your money back. Staff are friendly and fast. Lots of parking and tables to dine on. They didn't use the traditional grill top that I'm normally used to seeing at Korean bba joints, but they had a stone-top type skillet to grill our food. This was convenient because they won't interrupt your grilling like the other places because the grills are getting burnt up.

Looking for an All You Can Eat place for dinner in Las Vegas, Nevada... Searching my Yelp app, I saw that my Twinsie, Joyce W., from Arizona had been to 888 Korean BBQ. It seemed like a good establishment, so, I joined the Yelp Waitlist from my phone. By the time we arrived at the restaurant, our table was ready! We used the convenient restroom right away and went to our table which had beautiful banchan (side dishes such as kimchi) laid out for us with a fresh, green salad! The only thing that could improve would be the location of our table. It was right at the entrance where customers wait for a table. Plus, every time the door opened, a gust of chilly November evening wind (maybe 55°F) would blow on us. I'm not imagining it because our napkins were inching across our table! Maybe some kind of wind breaker can be placed nearby? Service was quick and pleasant! We got refills on the radish wraps (I showed my roommate how to cover the meat with them to add a bit of crunch and tartness to each bite)... yum! ... and our server cleaned our grill for us... thank you! I enjoyed everything... the New York steak (one per customer), the corn on the cob, zucchini slices, steamed egg, cream cheese wontons, bulgogi, beef brisket, mini salmon hand rolls, etc. I would return!

Joined the waitlist from home. 10/10 the best way to start waiting if you're going at a popular time. Service was so quick and friendly. We got the pork belly sampler from the Prime menu option. The pork belly sampler was my favorite, followed by the tofu stew. I will 100% be back here, but I was disappointed that they didn't have any ice cream or something sweet like other Korean bbq places do. 8/10!

This place is outstanding. We got there on a Friday night, the place was super busy. They told us it could be a 3 hours wait. We sat at the bench for about 3 minutes discussing whether or not to stick around and they called us over and told us there had been lots of cancellations. We were seated immediately. When we got to our table it was already set up with a salad and your basics. The kimchi and daikon by the way were soo yummy we ended up asking for more. Our server was Danny ... 10/10. He was friendly, helpful and super accommodating. I wish I'd taken more pictures, better pictures, but to be honest, I was so excited about what I was eating that I just didn't get it done. We had the (middle tier) "all you can eat". I'm not a huge eater but I love to try lots of different things. This was perfect. We started with snow crab, filet mignon and salmon carpaccio ... yum, yum and yum! After that we had beef bulgogi, lobster mix cucumber, prime harami miso (beef), baby squid, king oyster mushrooms, jalapeños and seasoned red chili paste. We were stuffed and we loved it all. Excellent service and excellent food. When I'm back in Vegas I will return & I'll go hungry. haha.

It can be a bit of a wait, but the food is good. I wished I could same the same about the services. We didn't have many checkin to see how we were doing or if we needed refills unless we asked. Overall the ambiance could use some work.

Food 5/5 Service 3/5 I was very excited to try KBBQ for the first time alone as usually i would go with a friend that's already very experienced in korean bbq in how to maneuver the whole thing. One thing i will say is that the food was excellent, we had the Kobe $44.95 per person and nothing on the menu disappointed. Everything was definitely EXCELLENT on terms of the food and will definitely be back for the food even if the wait time to be seated was 45 mins it was worth it. However, in terms of our service it definitely was not the best.. like mentioned earlier it was our first time really going kbbq without our experienced friend and the waitress didn't bother to ask if it was our first time nor did she bother to explain anything about the set up. I then proceeded to ask for her recommendations on the nigori sake's after a few orders in and her response was " I don't drink so i don't know" very unenthusiastic and as a waitress you should know how to upsell your customer and give a great recommendation based off other customer's popular sake requests, ect so overall the service from our customers waitress was not where near outstanding and she just seemed annoyed to even be working. So for that reason instead of being a 5/5 experience it was 3/5.

Worth the wait! Get on the waiting list on Yelp and save yourself some time. We enjoyed all the meats we tried; beef belly was #1. Good flavors in the banchan, though I wouldn't mind a little more variety. They happily refill everything. This is such a fun night out when you have friends visiting Las Vegas.

I went with my family for the first time and I have to say this was probably the best AYCE taste and value wise I've been to in town. My family got the B tier menu and we loved all the meats. I also appreciate the iPad which allowed us to order more food without waiting for a server to come back. The kalbi ribs and filet mignon were the fan favorites of the evening. Very tender and the kalbi has a great marinade. I was also surprised at how good the garlic shrimp were! My recommendation is to definitely make a reservation before you go as the wait times can be up to 40-65mins+. Also! I really liked how the grill was set up here and how the grease is able to drain from the grill so you never have to get a grill change and keeps the smoke down! Very cool! Overall, a 10/10 experience check it out!

Great food great service. Excellent quality meat. Kalbi was fantastic. Great deal. Hostess got us in right away despite the long line

This is my favorite Korean barbecue in Las Vegas. I highly recommend getting the premium menu, where you can order items such as kobe beef and filet mignon. Come hungry because it's all you can eat.

We came here at 10:30pm on a Thursday night and we were seated immediately. Parking was plentiful so that was great. We ordered all of the premium choices to max those out with all 6 of us. There was a lot of choices on the menu and we all went for the Kobe AYCE menu along with beer and soju. The vibe inside was pretty chill and definitely good to wind down. The premium items like Kobe Beef were delicious and it would have been nice to have more than one. The rest of the food was still delicious like the beef brisket and the pork belly and good that it was AYCE since we went through a few rounds before we were done. I stopped taking pictures since I wanted to eat and we were all hungry. Our waiters were friendly and helpful as well. Great food here especially for AYCE and I wouldn't mind coming back in the future.

Best Korean bbq place in the CIT-AYYYY i love ittt soo much. This place is the spot for date nights for me and my man. We love the staff, the korean bbq is SUPERB over stone grills. Very authentic. Only downside is that you can't switch the grills like that cause they heavy asf. Me and my man have been coming here for the last 3-4 years & love this place! Totally recommend it to people ! & I always tell people make SURE you cook your beef and pork separately to avoid getting SICK!! Look up food-handling and safety if this is your first time! I start with the prime cuts & then go for the other options! 10/10 recommend !

Truly love this Korean bbq joint. The service is quick and attentive. The food is fresh and no problem with it being plentiful!! The rib eye, bulgogi and filet stood out as most tender and juicy!

Def worth a visit!! I went to Bacchanal the night before and, for the price and quality of food, I would pick 888 over Bacchanal any day. Service - fast, attentive, nice, efficient, no complaints Food - Brisket - good Bulgogi - good Salmon hand roll - SO GOOD!! This was my fave. Steamed egg - good Pork belly sampler - just get regular pork belly. One of the flavors was matcha pork belly Parking - ample and free We got the lowest AYCE option and we were soooooo full and satisfied afterwards. And the price is only $27 a person!!!!! U can't beat this. Don't waste ur time/money at buffets at the strip. I'm

This is a buffet and the table decides which category you want to order from. The three options are Angus, Prime, and Kobe Style. Angus is $26.95 per person, Prime is $32.95 per person and Kobe Style is $43.95 person. We chose Kobe. Our group ordered the Tofu Stew as our soup and to grill we ordered Kobe Beef, Kobe Beef Brisket, Kobe Beef Belly, Filet Mignon, Ribeye, Spicy Pork, Sweet Corn, Garlic Asparagus, and Zucchini. We also ordered white rice, garlic butter and wasabi. The key is for everyone to have tongs so they can help manage the grill. Our top 3 favorites were the spicy pork, Kobe beef and Kobe beef brisket. This is an experience and it was a lot of fun. Great service. The restaurant is located in Chinatown and it was a short drive from our hotel on The Strip. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable.

888 Korean BBQ was so good! The place was packed and we had to wait but it was worth it. There are different price packages and it's unlimited. All of the food was fresh and tasted amazing. The ambiance is casual. I will definitely return next time I'm in Vegas. It's a great place for groups as the booths accommodate a lot people.

I love this place super delicious nice vibe ! Servers are quick and nice. Food comes out quickly

Really good!! I've been wanting to try this place for years but never got the chance to whenever I've been in Vegas. We were able to make a trip over this time around, make sure to join the waitlist otherwise the wait times can be ridiculous. The interior is fairly small in comparison to other kbbq establishments, which explains why the wait times are so long. We ordered a bunch of stuff from the menu and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Great selection of meats, soups and appetizers. Highly recommend.

This place was so good, I literally think about it once a month for when I return to Vegas again lol. They're located in Chinatown and offer three types of AYCE KBBQ menu. We opted for the "B" aka "Prime" menu which was about ~$33/person. The meat was pretty good but what I really loved were their special side dishes! Highly recommend the spicy tuna with crispy rice. It wasn't that spicy but had an interesting texture between tuna and crispy rice. The salmon poke was also fresh and had a creamy sauce mix. The 888 pork belly sampler is a must try. It had about 8 slices of pork belly drenched in interesting sauce like green tea and red wine. The stew soup was quite large for our group of 4 so keep that in mind if you're planning to order it. The soup was flavorful and I liked that you can ask for them to turn the remaining into fried rice. I don't recommend the cheese corn as it had no flavor except it left a weird canned corn taste. I was disappointed when I saw they had snow crab and it turned out to be little meat like a stick of imitation crab drenched in sauce lol. We went Monday evening and it was such a long wait. You have to join the Yelp waitlist. It was estimated to be a 2 hour wait but ended up being almost 3 hours. Our server wasn't very friendly and hard to flag whenever we needed to order. I didn't realize there was a dessert menu until I looked at other reviews after dining. I think it's kind of strange and unfair that we ordered AYCE and didn't have the option to order dessert yet lots of folks on Yelp posted that they were offered s'mores?? :/

Pretty below avg Korean bbq. There are some guilty pleasures that just fill you up But the meal quality is pretty below standard Came here for early dinner. Wasn't too bad

The food was just ok. Nothing stood out. The only thing I can say weee the best is the house sauce, salad dressing and the short ribs. It's just not worth going to again. If the service was better maybe I would have gone back. I'm sorry but it's just mid.

Our group had a blast, leaving stuffed and buzzed. 5 guys for OYCE sounded like a good idea. We packed into a booth and started ordering right away. Swift service and lots of food with the standard options you would expect at Korean BBQ. 888 was packed on a weekday night but the service is was great. The food and beer kept on coming. This was a great value and we all enjoyed ourselves. I'll definitely be back.

Had a great time with my friend! I love how fast we were able to be seated compared to other places. We were asked many times if we needed anything else. We received our food pretty fast as well, ready to be cooked.

I've had Korean BBQ in Houston so many times and to be honest, it's really not my favorite. There's only a couple in Houston that's worth going back. Considering Houston has so many options for different types of food, I'll say Korean BBQ is really lacking. So we wanted to see if Vegas can offer something better. 888 is definitely a solid spot and exceeded my expectations but it wasn't perfect. My friend and I arrived for dinner around 8pm & it was extremely busy. We got on the waiting list and waited close to an hour before getting seated. This place has a nice ambiance and is very chilled but pretty small which explains the long wait. They offer 3 tiers of the AYCE BBQ. 26.95 (Angus), 32.95 (Prime) & 43.95 (Kobe). It also includes mini hand rolls, small bites, sides, stew, sukiyaki & ramen. We opted for Menu B (32.95 -Prime-). Here are the list of items we've ordered. * Salmon mini hand rolls- good. 3.5/5 * Snow crab- it was okay, I would've been fine if it just came out plain with butter or lemon. I think they marinated the snow crab onto some sort of sweet sauce which ruined it for me. 2/5 * Fried dumplings- fine. 2.5/5 * Shrimp tempura- light, crispy, minimal amount of salt, flaky batter. 3.5/5 * Filet mignon- it was sliced into cubes. I cooked it to my liking which is medium rare and it came out juicy and tender. Good quality beef. 4/5 * Ribeye steak- it was pretty good. Could use more flavor though. 3.3/5 * Beef bulgogi- hands down the best I've had. I can tell that they marinated the bulgogi for a good amount of time. Nice balance of sweet/savory. 4.5/5 * Beef brisket- plain but it was tendered. 3.5/5 * Prime beef hanger steak- fine. 2.7/5 * Kurobuta Pork belly- Terrible. It didn't matter how long it was cooked. It came out tough and chewy. Bad quality pork belly. I don't recommend. 1/5 * Spicy Pork- good. 3.5/5 * Garlic shrimp- basic. 2/5 * Spicy chicken- it was okay, just a little bit of heat and that's it. Luckily we cooked it the same time with the beef bulgogi & the juices from it latched onto the chicken which gave it more flavor. 2.5/5 * LA Kalbi- very good. Marinated to perfection. 4/5. Overall I'll give it a 3.5 stars but our server was accommodating so I'll round it to a 4. He did get very busy so he handed the iPad/tablet to us so we can order on our own, it's user friendly and not confusing at all. The wait time is a little long but not too bad. I'm sure the weekends are way crazier. Considering this is Vegas I was expecting way higher prices on the AYCE, but it's definitely affordable and you'll get your moneys worth's. Of course you have a time limit to eat & any huge leftovers you will be charged extra. Standard AYCE practices which is understandable because people be wasting food. Will I come back? Let's just say if 888 was in Houston I'll go quite often, so yes I'll be back.

I think it is absolutely ridiculous that this place has no reservations. I played the game on a Sunday night at 7:45 and was told there would be a hour and a half wait time. This is crazy and just laziness on the owners. Never again. 888 is a No No No in my book. Too many good restaurants in. Vegas to waste my time.

I have been to many Korean bbq places in china town, and by far this is my favorite. The menu is amazing, so many options and packages to order from!!!!! The yakult shoju drink was my favorite, and of course the s'mores dessert (included in package) was absolutely fun and delicious! The meats were amazing, and banchan was an amazing variety. The cleanliness of the resultant was outstanding!!! Could not recommend this place more!!!!

WOW!!!! Danny our server was OUTSTANDING!!! Give this man a raise!!! Food was great but service was even better! Food came out incredibly fast! We will be coming back!!! Thank you Danny!

This place is so good and it's usually my go-to Korean BBQ spot. They have plenty of booth and table options but if you come on a weekend or beyond 7pm any other time, there's guaranteed to be a wait. Try and join the waitlist in advance if you can (here on Yelp)--I have seen the wait times exceed two hours before! They offer diners 3 different menu options, so you can find something that is in your desired price range while still having delicious meats to pick from. One thing to note, everyone at the table must be on the same tier--they don't allow parties to get different tiers (which is understandable). We were sat at a big booth. Since there were only two of us, we didn't need to use the second grill top/cook station. At this restaurant you cook your own food, which I personally enjoy and don't mind doing. This isn't a place where they cook in front of you. One thing I noticed that was really awesome, they have tablets at each table. Once you place your initial order, you can use the tablet to submit subsequent orders, that way you don't have to wait a long time for a server to come around. Every time I come here, they provide great food and service. So long as you plan your arrival accordingly and come hungry, you're sure to leave satisfied!

Nina our server was awesome. She was very pleasant greeted us and met our needs for the first time when we came to this restaurant. She helped us understand how the menu worked and what the payment structures were. She offered us wonderful premium dinner which had all kinds of assortment of foods and meats and we also had the opportunity to taste the premium ribeye and Waygu with the center cut short ribs. We loved all of it, but additionally, the dinner was pleasant when we had a wonderful server as Nina. She is the best! Las Vegas Residents - Charlie Chen

Tried this place on a Saturday at 5:30pm and it was crazy busy but despite the yelp waiting list saying a two hour wait we only waited 30mins. Service was great and food was very good. Highly recommend this place! Meat sweats alert.

Visiting from LA. It was good, not too kid friendly but they were nice and the food was yummy!

I have high expectations of this place based on the raving Yelp reviews; unfortunately, it's a little disappointing on the quality of the food. Meat quality - 3/5. Some of the cuts are way too fatty and their "Filet mignon" cut is not good at all. Seafood quality - 2/5. Shrimps are mushy. Avoid at all costs. The Miso seafood soup is ok because of the veggies and squid. Sushi - 4/5. You should eat the sushi immediately as it's very saucy. We all enjoy the snow crab legs sushi. Glad we have tried it, but it's not a place worth an Uber trip to visit while you are in Vegas as there are many other good eats.

Made a stop by here since the buffet we wanted to go to was super busy with a 2 hour wait. It was not worth it. Decided to come here and so glad we did. The meats were fresh and I like how the brisket didn't have so too much fat on it like some AYCE KBBQ. The sides were simple, I have had more delicious sides. The corn cheese tasted a bit odd to me, definitely not like the corn cheese I had in SD. Andrea our server was great! Super fast and friendly. Kinda bummed she disappeared and we had another server who didn't really stop by as much.m and we requested him to make the fried 3 times and by the time he got back, our broth was pretty much burnt and deteriorated LOL. He still put the rice in and asked to use the remaining soup in our bowls. So our rice was kind of burnt tasting.. I still enjoyed it though! Just wish it wasn't burnt. The egg soup was delicious, light and airy. I love how there isn't a grill change here - the grill they use doesn't get burnt, more KBBQ should have this!! Ambience was nice, pretty small inside and simple. I would stop by here again.

Great all you can eat korean restaurant. We choose the kobe selection more money but worth it. Always busy do sign in on yelp so you don't have to wait. Fast and friendly.

i came in on a friday night and waited 3 hours for a table of 4. i was really excited since i heard great reviews and this place did not disappoint! there is a wide variety of appetizers, meats, and soups you can choose from. the price is also very reasonable and all the meats were great. i love that you can have a ramen on the side as well. i would say this is one of the best kbbq restaurants in vegas. the only downside is that the restaurant is quite small, attributing to the long wait time.

Love this place!! Erwin is the best server. Ribeye was my favorite. But the mini sampler hand rolls were great.

Great service IPad didn't work but server was great Food was really good Maybe some instructions for first timers but it was really good

Stop reading this and put your name on the wait list!!! Let me start by saying, my 2 buddies and I had to wait 90mins, on a Saturday early evening and this spot still gets 5 stars. Hostesses were very welcoming and explained the wait expectation. Because they text you, we went a block down the road check out the infamous Tiki Bar (worth a visit). When we arrived back to 888, the hostesses were still warm and informed us our table was about 10 mins from being ready. She then offered us a spot at the bar and let us know we could transfer the bill to the table.....sake selection is great and the import beers are ice cold. 10000% worth the wait and am going to make this a staple for every trip I make to Vegas moving forward.
