The 15 Best Korean Barbecue Restaurants in Orange County | Eater LA

"When thinking of a standard Korean barbecue experience, Cham Soot Gol probably isn’t far off — big air vents, loads of banchan, and a lively ambience that’s optimal for group gatherings. They offer one all-you-can-eat option with classic Korean barbecue meats, such as brisket, pork belly, and bulgogi, while bone-in short rib can be ordered for an extra charge. Though Cham Soot Gol has been in business for nearly 18 years now, they’re consistently known as one of OC’s most dependable AYCE spots, and most notably, regulars appreciate the unlimited ice cream for dessert." - Cathy Park

A long-running OC benchmark with the lively, old-school vibe—big vents, brisket and pork belly on repeat, and the famous complimentary ice cream. Frequently recommended by Eater LA.

First time here and have been in the area for 10 years. Jesus and Kelly are amazing servers. There are so many servers that we were constantly asked if we needed more meats by 10 different servers every time someone passed by. Don't forget the ice cream on the house too! Highly recommend this location. I've been to many, and this place ranks at the top.

I went here for lunch, the service was awesome. The staff treat you like homies, bringing food fast and always checking if you need anything. I’m tired of other KBBQ places like Gen, where you don’t see anyone again for 20 minutes after ordering. The food quality here is great — especially the beef and pork belly, really fresh and flavorful. The only downside is the price, but it matches the quality. Definitely worth it.

Best kimchi ever. Also, enjoyed the steamed egg dish and bean paste stew. Next time I would request half the portion of the prime steak and pork belly. My fave was the shrimp,(4 at a time are served).

Cham Sut Gol has the BEST SERVICE; No contest! My friends and I went out last night to celebrate a birthday and we had such a a great time here. Julie was our main server and she was on top of our orders the entire time. The portions she served were perfect for our party and really satisfied that kbbq-craving that we all have. I was a bit needy (partly because we enjoyed her company so much) yet, she was so patient and professional. In addition to the great service, she cracked cheesy jokes the entire night - a service we didn’t pay extra for but greatly appreciated. The rest of the staff filled in when we needed things in between service so big shout out to Kyle and Temo for helping us with the cake and birthday song. It’s been a few years since I’ve visited Cham so I was very surprised to see all the remodeling they have done. Great job; it looks modern now. We love you Cham!

All around great experience. Traveling from out of state on business first experience eating Korean BBQ. Staff explained what to order and how to cook. I was amazed at the customer service something that seems to be lacking in most restaurants now a days. We had interactions with several workers all very helpful. The way the crew worked together helping one another checking on tables, adjusting the grill flame, changing the grill grates, constantly checking if we need more meat. It was truly a great dining experience and the management should be proud of their team.

We ordered brisket, beef bulgogi and thin sliced pork belly. The portions were huge for 2 ppl! I’d recommend ordering a half size. The sides were delicious and they have radish paper as an option besides rice and rice paper! The food was good, I only wish the thin sliced pork belly had more flavor to it, it was very plain. Other than that, our server was very nice and accommodating! :) they also AYCE ice cream towards the back of the restaurant!

We came here for a birthday celebration, and we enjoyed the time spent here. They have a very stylish interior, comfortable seating and tables. The place to be recently renovated. The personnel is nice and the waiters are friendly and attentive. Not the most extensive menu, but the meats are of good quality.

Menu selection received more meat to select 😋 yum. Awesome and friendly staff. I really enjoyed the remodel. Meat was tender and had great flavor. Really recommend this place.
