When I heard Red Castle had KBBQ for $19.99, I thought it was a typo, a prank, or a glitch in the matrix...so naturally, I called 3x just to be sure. Spoiler: it was real, and my stomach and I were ready!!!
Pulled up w my daughter, and BAM.... line was longer than the DMV on a Monday. Checked in via Yelp like the modern foodies we are, and we were 11th in line. Waited 30 minutes, which in KBBQ time is basically express lane status.
Went w Menu A (aka the budget-friendly dream): brisket, beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi..... all marinated like someone's Korean grandma whispered secrets into them. Banchan was solid, and YES, they had japchae, the noodle MVP!!! Ssamjang tasted like it was blended w love and magical ingredients.
Now here's the plot twist: while waiting, they served us CHIPS & SALSA. At a KBBQ!!!!! And it was fire!! Spicy, legit, and made me question everything I knew about culinary boundaries!!! Fusion, people!!
Big thanks to Isayana & Tony for top-tier service. And seriously.... where else can you get quality KBBQ for under $20? Not even my favorite spot in San Diego can touch that on happy hour prices!!
Overall, amazing spot!!! Super affordable, its a steal!!! Go hungry, go w friends, bring your entire family, in-laws, and your neighbors too and prepare for your wallet and your taste buds to be happy!!!!!
