SEOUL BBQ

This place is definitely getting a follow-up visit. We sat down and all this was immediately brought to our table. Kimchi was on point with a little kick. 👌 potatoes salad could use a little more flavor. Meat was of good quality.

Shhh…hidden gem! This ayce kbbq restaurant is outstanding! I’ve been to many kbbq places over the years and Seoul BBQ is top notch. Everything came out quickly, including the fried potstickers, water refills, meat refills, and grill changes. It was a laid back atmosphere, not a bunch of announcements or loud music. It had a good vibe for talking and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed several rounds of meats from the A and B menus, multiple grill changes, some peach flavored rice wine, and a fun time with friends and family. The beef bulgogi and beef brisket were excellent; everyone else in the group also enjoyed several other cuts of meat including garlic pork belly, flying tiger beef, short rib, beef belly, and others. The parking lot was a bit rough so beware. Everyone that went into the restaurant seemed well dressed and happy to be there.

Update: price goes up to $26.99 but it's still the best in the neighborhood. Meat quality is still really good. My family usually go to Rowland heights for AYCE Korean bbq, so we were excited when we heard about this one in Diamond Bar. We decided to try the $24.99 deal because we mainly eat brisket and bulgogi only. The place is new, nice, clean, very bright and not smoggy. It's roomy inside with lots of tables, good for large parties as well. The meat quality was really good, and the side dishes were really fresh with many varieties. Flying tiger beef was something new to us. It's thin sliced beef bellies with a special sauce which had a sweet and sour taste. It tasted more like Thai to me. Beef belly is usually oily, but with this special sauce, this juicy grilled beef belly can increase your appetite. Kimchi doshirak was also new to try. The waiter had egg, kimchi, rice and some sauce in a metal bento box, and he shook the box to mix the ingredients before serving. It tasted like kimchi stirred rice. Pretty good as a side. The service was excellent. Our grill plate was changed 4 times without asking. Overall, we were so happy with the taste and quality for this inexpensive price.

We arrived and there was no waiting time. I think this is a hole in the wall Korean BBQ. It is tucked away in the corner of this Plaza. The staff is extremely friendly and the service was amazing. The price is vary from menu a and menu B from 24 to 34 dollars. We have soju, beers, and great food. The quality of all the food was great and if you're into Korean barbecue I would definitely recommend that you try this place out. The earlier you get the better. My only complaint is they need to clean the tables with something else other than vinegar because it kind of made me want to throw up, because I hate the smell of vinegar.

This is a smaller AYCE compared to GEN or Thirsty Cow. The menu is tiered, $26.99 for menu A and $35.99 for menu B. There is a 90 minute time limit, which is plenty if time to fill your belly. The quality of the meat is good, and service is quick and efficient. We had the A menu and the variety was enough to keep it interesting. The banchan was solid, with the kimchi being noteworthy. The steamed egg was also exceptional. Plenty of parking as it is located in a strip mall. If your in Diamond Bar and you're looking for a good Korean AYCE at a reasonable price, Seol BBQ is hard to beat. Does forget to check in for your free ice cream sandwich.

Best Korean BBQ I've been to yet! I got some excellent meats from Menu A and when cooked, it was incredibly tender. A huge selling point, and you'll know what I'm talking about if you frequent kbbq places: The scissors work!!! They were super sharp and easy to cut the meat. I can't say much else. Just look at the photos and stop on by!

Really great service for our group of 13 adults and 8 kids. Meat came out quickly and the thin rice sheets always complement well. Also steamed egg available. Good value with $27 per person and kids half off.

I like this place. It’s super low-key and all the food that brought out is super fresh and the service there was pretty cool we ate until we couldn’t eat anymore. We took home some food which cost an extra $10 but it’s OK because it was worth it. Go check this place out. Insta: jwardhooper22

First time here. Good enough to kick back and to make my hungry stomach spoiled. High quality meat unlimited ??? I feel guilty. The junior owner - super nice and friendly. That was a big plus. Wow, I am happy here today. Good quality meat and fine soju and beer - I am the king of the world now. Happy experience and happy memories here at Seoul bbq. Final note : the kimchee was awesome.

Yo....this is such a nice find for a no-frill AYCE KBBQ. Such an awesome place, I want to save this place for myself, but that wouldn't be right. So here we are! So the best value AYCE KBBQ is the $29.99 combo. Comes with a lot of good pork and beef cuts all around, and you get other side dish choices, too. We ordered the Popcorn Chicken (a definite winner in our books btw!), the Flying Tiger beef (best-tasting marinated meat), along with the Spicy Beef. All meats were super fresh and delicious once grilled. We were pretty darn full after. Staff are attentive, but very chill atmosphere here. They do have a 90-minute limit per table, so that's all the time you can sit around and stuff your face. Parking is a smaller lot, but parking should be okay to find depending when you stop in. Restrooms were also clean. A pleasant surprise and will definitely need to come back again. Thanks, Seoul BBQ!

This is now our go to KBBQ spot. The quality of meat here is excellent. Not a single miss so far and we've tried their tier lists. The selection to choose from is quite generous and each one tastes just as good. The side dishes are excellent too and everything tastes fresh. We love the kimchi and fish cakes here. As for their Flying Tiger, it's our go to order. It's simple yet so juicy. It's so easy to eat and you really do get your moneys worth. The service here is excellent too. Whether you're here for lunch or dinner, it's always stellar. Everyone is attentive. Even when they only have one server, it's still excellent service. They've been consistent which is why we keep coming back. The ambiance here is okay. It feels like a hole in the wall, which it is. For that reason, we like it. You come here for the food and service, not for the ambiance. It's definitely worth trying. For us, this is definitely our go to spot.

So we stopped by for some Korean BBQ after Anime Expo today! Parking was a little hard to find due to the Korean market being next door. Josh was our server and he was super helpful! Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh, definitely will be back for more Korean BBQ in the future!

Super small spot but it was such a yummy meal. Not that expensive and had good meat selection. Went right when they opened and wasn't too busy. Service is very reliable and friendly.

Wellllll I found my new spot for some bbq!! Price is so worth it! Quality of food is amazing! Service is super fast and very intimate inside! Honestly a hidden gem and I love it! I will definitely be back! Thank you for existing

Another hole in a wall! Easy to find with ample parking. They were able to accommodate us pretty quick. Service is really fast. They were attentive. The meats were fresh as well as the salads. The ambience is pretty quiet considering it's a barbecue place. The area that they need to improve on is more of the decor and the overall feel of the restaurant. It's the least of my concerns as long as they provide good service and good meats, we are all perfect.

The food is very good. I love their volcano spicy noodle soup the prices are reasonable and their service is very good. Love that they have a good meat selection. This is our go to Korean BBQ place we always go to.

One thing I love about this place than other places is that there's usually no wait time whenever I come here. They have a little ringer at the tables so that the server knows to come to you which I thought was very convenient. Meat quality is good and they have all the options that other places normally have as well with good prices.

Being from Norcal, it's crazy to see what value you get at KBBQ down here. Set A which is roughly $27/pp gives you a good amount of selection, the flying tiger beef belly is probably my favorite one here. Service is pretty quick. Solid spot to have in your kbbq arsenal.

If you're wanting to eat AYCE KBBQ without going brokies, this is the place to go! Super super affordable and also rly close to the boyfies house :-) You get what you pay for, and roughly $26 per person (menu A) is honestly a really great deal for AYCE. My favorite meat is probably the flying tiger meat. I looove fatty meats & felt like it was perfectly fatty heheh We came in on a Wednesday night & it was not too busy. We got seated immediately and our food/ meats came out quickly. Will I come back? Mayhaps! This is def the spot to go to if you don't feel like paying over $60 for KBBQ :)

Love the food and the service. They are a family owned business and have two areas to eat. The food was fresh and service was great. We ordered just about everything... the pork belly, beef brisket, spicy fried chicken, sweet and sour fried chicken, pico de gallo, rice paper, jap chae, kimchi fried rice, corn cheese and so much more! The place is nice and small and service was personal and quick. Forgot to take a photo of the food!

Food and service is always great here! The wait is typically not long at all and they have chairs inside to wait. Upon checking in to their waitlist on a Friday night, we got seated in about 10 minutes. They have 3 options for AYCE KBBQ: MENU A: $26.99 MENU B: $35.99 MENU C: $49.99 Their Menu A is definitely really good for classic favorites like beef brisket, pork belly, sliced teriyaki pork belly, and flying Tiger beef belly. I loveee their sliced fresh garlic, steamed egg, salad, and sides like pickled cucumbers, radish, spicy fish cake, potato salad, and kimchi. I always have to get their kimchi lunch box and corn cheese too. They have a button at each table to press if you need a server which were all very fast in getting me more sides, orders, or changing the grill. Definitely a value worthy great kbbq spot and will be coming back :)

After our favorite Kbbq closed, we've been looking for a replacement. This place might fit the bill. Not a big location, but wasn't too busy when we went in for dinner at 5:30. Servers are friendly and efficient. Empty dishes removed quickly and new orders are brought in a timely manner. We did the lowest menu at $26 and it had a good selection of meats and side items. The bon chan items are also very good. Beef belly was our personal favorite, but the others were great too. Hoping to go again soon to try I higher menu.

Most of the meat was fresh. A couple of them were almost brown... the small intestines weren't clean it didnt feel. They were not quick to serve us... and skipped on bringing out certain items bc they assumed we couldn't eat what we already ordered. They threatened to charge us fee for not finishing our food. The servers definitely showed they were not happy about being there.. ive been to at least 15 diff korean bbq spots in my life, and this has to be my least favorite. Im guessing the stars are from the lunch special.. but if you are big on quality of meat and service. Just avoid. Oh yeah. They dont have much of a large variety of items in my opinion and their sides were the.

I like that they offer unlimited soju and beer for $20. The options for each menu are a lot so I appreciate that even the lowest priced menu has a great selection. The waiters are attentive and change out the grill as needed. Some places you don't see your waiter and have to wait a bit to get a grill change. Here the waiter was checking up on us regularly enough that we never had to ask or wait. I would come back here. It's a solid KBBQ restaurant.

Food and service always are top notch at this place! Very reasonably priced! Unlimited soju and beer for $20/person! Will be coming back.

This place is so good!! We went on Saturday around 2:30PM and we were seated immediately, there was no waiting, everything came out 10 minutes after we ordered. The fries were fresh and crispy like mcdonald's fries, so if you have picky kids then they would like it. i recommend trying the beef brisket, pico de gallo, corn cheese and the tofu soup for sure. The employees were quick and attentive. I want to go back already!

Came here a few times already. The guys are amazing, so helpful and fast. The beef belly and beef brisket is always my go-to! Parking is ample, and the restrooms stay clean. The wait isn't too heavy, but I'm sure they will get busier on the weekends . The noise is average, from the sizzling grills to the date talk, it all sets the vibe , I love it! Their rice paper is the best I've ever had! Some places have it kinda stale, kinda frozen kinda not tasty, and thisnone is spot on! If they had house noodle soup that wasn't spicy, this would be the best of the best. Those big restaurants have nothing on this place for sure !

They will not let you dine unless you have a party of two or more. Insane. Avoid coming here, not worth it.

Umm Umm Yum!!! Went to this place a few days ago. We were there on a Thursday afternoon before the dinner rush. We went for the all you could eat menu and ordered a lot of different meats. My favorite was the Cajun chicken and the marinated squid. Our server changed the grill every time we ordered a new round. Great service. I wish my girl would have eaten more so I had to do all the eatin'. I practice paleo OMAD so I was ravenous. I went in there at 165 lbs. and walked out 170. Highly recommended.

Me and my golf buddies go there after a rounding near there (diamond bar golf / mountain meadows golf) and this place is great. We always take menu C option and we get all variety of meat and side dishes. Noodles in the menu are good; volcano Ramen/dongchimi noodle/ bibim noodle) also they have dosirak(rice mixed with kimchi and seaweed) Highly recommended.

If you're looking to eat KBBQ without having to break the bank, Seoul BBQ is an option. You get what you pay for though. The quality of the meats is just okay, as is the service. We had to wait for a while, and we were finally seated on the side by the kitchen, which didn't have vents. The staff wasn't very friendly, and when they brought out the food, they just shoved it onto the table. The table was small without a lot of space. One guy literally put a plate of raw meat on top of my hand and spilled meat juice on my arm, then walked away without saying anything. Even though we were right next to the kitchen and hence, the staff, they never checked on us, and we still had to flag them down every time we needed something. If you check in on Yelp, you get a free ice cream bar. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but overall, an okay spot if you care more about price and quantity than quality.

Came here to celebrate my birthday yesterday with family and let me tell you.. this place just ranked to one of my top favorite KBBQ spots! Food: 10/10 Banchan tasted so fresh and the server would always refill it every time we ran out as my family loves it! The meat quality tasted amazing and there was so much meat to choose from. Family favorite was the spicy beef belly and their marinated bulgogi. Service: 12/10. There was only one server who was at the front, taking our order, and serving us and he was amazing!! He never forgot if we had ordered something and he would ALWAYS check on us to see if we needed anything. He was literally a superman in service!! He was also super friendly and I give him so much props for doing a one-man show at a KBBQ establishment. Ambiance: 10/10. It was very clean and just a nice place. Overall, I would say this place is a hidden-gem. For the value of it, this place is extraordinary and I am definitely coming back with my friends & family!!!

My first time eating here and it was good the staff were very friendly, and they had a wide selection of meats. I definitely will come back

Very affordable all you can eat Korean BBQ. I choose the middle tier, which is $36 for each one. Other places are $40+ for middle tier now. But the meat are so so. Beef tongue are too thin. Side dishes are not fresh. Pork are declines! Steam egg and cheese corn are highlights of the meal.

The best all you can eat bbq in town, period!!! For the price and quality of services, you can get. The manager Isaiah was extremely patient & kind with warm hospitality serving us love the setting here , as its family oriented and comfortable family environment keep up the great work

We had a craving for Korean bbq and stopped by Seoul BBQ for lunch. Glad we did. It's a small family restaurant with plenty of parking. The nice lady at the front greeted and seated us right away. She gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. She returned with drinks, salad, and condiments and took our orders. We ordered Menu A - spicy tofu soup, steamed egg, rice noodle, bulgogi, briskets, beef belly, spicy pork, and flying tiger beef belly. Great Service. The lady checked on us frequently. We got a steady flow of endless meat and clean grills. Clean and spacious separate men's and women's restrooms. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

Seoul BBQ is one of go to KBBQ spots when we're in the mood for some last minute/late night KBBQ. They don't disappoint and the menu is quite affordable. We usually go with menu A for dinner and we typically just go with the beef brisket, beef belly and flying tiger beef belly. Service here is fast and pretty efficient food and meats come out quickly. The vibe is cool and usually can get packed but depends on the day and time. Great KBBQ option if you're near the DB area.

Yum, a new place has opened for All You Can Eat Korean BBQ in Diamond Bar named Seoul Bbq. Came here for dinner because I was craving some red meat and wanted to enjoy some Korean sides. This place is for it all and you can pick on which option you would like. I had the more expensive one which was menu B for $35.99 per person. We sat here for quite a while just making our red meat and enjoying some vegetables. I enjoyed the cooked mushrooms and don't forget to get corn cheese. The rib eye meat was one huge slab of meat. No complaints here just a happy foodie enjoying her nice meal at this place. Service was quick and they have these little buttons you can push for service if you don't see anyone. Someone will be right with you in a flash! Overall a great small place to come with a few people. I think if it's the largest groups it might be a little difficult.

I really enjoyed the authenticity of this place. The sides they give you when you sit down are delicious, I really loved the potato salad. The meats were delicious and great portions. For every 2 people you can get 1 ribeye steak and or was really flavorful. My favorites include beef bulgogi and brisket. Our waiter did a good job bringing everything we asked for and with water refills. As with every Korean BBQ place, my only complaint is they turned the grill down on me once and that is really annoying. It's usually the owner or manager. It prevents getting a good char on the brisket. But, I had them turn it back up.

Food was really good. We went pretty early so we were seated right away. Maybe I should have done more research on meats, so I stayed pretty basic. Ribeye, beef bugogi, teriyaki chicken, shrimp, beef skirt. Service was quick, however when I said this was our first time at a Korean BBQ restaurant he just nodded and walked away. I am assuming to give us a little time to look over the menu. They gave a lot of sides and that is when I fell in LOVE with kimchi. I have only ever had kimchi fried rice in Hawai'i and it was delicious, I didn't think I would like kimchi by itself and I tried it here and made me want to get some to have in the fridge! Overall, nice little place. May come back for a second visit.

Stopped by for dinner recently with a friend after craving KBBQ and we saw that Seoul had affordable pricing for AYCE and good reviews, so we decided to check it out and we had a great dining experience here! We got their cheaper "A" menu which was $26.99 and it comes with your typical meats and dishes and you get a smaller amount of banchan here but the quality was quite good for everything we got! If you want more variety, I do recommend the "B" menu which adds options like galbi and ribeye. My favorite meat was the flying tiger beef belly which is a little fatter than the typical beef belly and it also has extra seasonings added to it to give a nice pop of a flavor when you cook it! The other meats we ordered like brisket and bulgogi were also delicious and not too chewy or fatty and the steamed egg we got was also good! Service here was excellent with the staff coming by often to check how we were doing and changing grills when needed! The interior is quite spacious and clean and there isn't too much going on decor wise, so it's clean and simple! If you want AYCE KBBQ that's not in the Rowland area or want to try someplace new, give Seoul BBQ a try!

Solid KBBQ spot with good-quality meat for the price. Prices have gone up recently, which makes sense given the economy, but still reasonable. The main downside is that they can be understaffed during busy hours, so orders take a bit longer. That said, the service is friendly, and the ambiance is great.

Great food, service, and ambiance! Our party of 10 left happy and satisfied! 100% would recommend and return again!

Let me first state that I really was excited to try this place! The reviews, and photos looked really promising; so I was definitely intrigued. I had shown up on a Friday night. Granted, I know that KBBQ on a Friday is going to be packed - so I know what I was getting myself into. We probably waited around 45 minutes to be seated, which is completely understandable! There's realistically around 10 working grills total in here - so it's very limited seating. There were 3 servers bussing all the tables. I frequent KBBQ a lot. This was definitely the worst experience I've ever had. We were seated by a couple who was sat at the exact same time as us as well. Where do I even begin? We ordered our first round of meats. We only received 1. Unfortunately, we had to remind our server multiple times to get our meats. I do try to be understanding; it's busy and a Friday night. However, it got to the point where our server wouldn't even look our way. I attempted to reach different servers, multiple times and we just felt like an afterthought sitting there. It was something I've never experience; it genuinely left a sour taste in my mouth when leaving the establishment. To top it off, the couple that was sat next to us at the same time; had the most attentive service. They were able to place multiple rounds of orders, the server was constantly checking in on them. It was night and day in comparison to how we were being treated there. I absolutely don't understand it. The sides are okay, I was able to get the Korean lunch box. It was a blend of flavors and that was nice! The brisket and meats were very fatty and low-quality cuts of meat. The grill also ended up leaking under the table onto my partners shoe, which ended up ruining them. That should be something they should pay attention to for future customers. I really wanted to like this place. I think the meats are so bad that I would stay clear from here for that reason alone.

Their meat is pretty good and it's not too loud. Although, I was concerned when I found a strand of steel wool on my food. They apologized and offered me a free drink to make up for their mistake. Overall, this place is not too bad.

RUN, don't walk!! They are having a special for lunch M-F for $21.99/person (menu A)! This was already our go to kbbq place with its regular price but now we will probably be going at least once a week with the promo. Not sure if they changed management or what but we love really love this place! Service is quick & meat is delicious. 10/10 highly recommend!

Very clean! Very quick! Great quality meat! Side dishes are on the spicy side but delish!

Was in the OC for a Disney weekend, and decided we wanted KBBQ for dinner! This spot seemed to have decent prices and reviews so we checked it out! I personally really liked their side dishes (especially the potato) and the servers were also quite attentive. They always switched out our grills without us having to flag them down, and also refilled our banchan quickly. There are service bells on the table as well, so you can get a hold of the servers quickly. I didn't think the meat was anything too special, especially the teriyaki sliced pork belly, which was quite literally teriyaki sauce sprinkled on pork belly  I enjoyed the marinated bulgogi and brisket though, and they even gave us a free box of ice cream drumsticks for dessert!

This place was much smaller than what I was anticipating. They have a lot of options on their menu which was what first intrigued me. They have a smaller menu for cheaper and then more options on their larger menu - about $35 a person. But the food quality was just okay. And the service was not great. I felt like I was annoying them every time I wanted to ask for something so didn't really get to enjoy the full experience. Unfortunately I don't think I will be coming back.

This is a nice AYCE alternative. It is smaller and more low-key compared to other KBBQ AYCE spots. I came to celebrate a friend's birthday, and they do take reservations! The banchan was limited but was decent. It's also nice that you press a button for service, but it happened a few twice during the meal when we pressed the button and help took a while to come. They also do not pick up empty plates as much as other spots, so we ended up piling plates and bowls. The servers were very nice though! The food was good and standard for an AYCE. I liked that it was more family-friendly and cleaner than most other spots.

This is a smaller AYCE compared to GEN or Thirsty Cow. The menu is tiered, $26.99 for menu A and $35.99 for menu B. There is a 90 minute time limit, which is plenty if time to fill your belly. The quality of the meat is good, and service is quick and efficient. We had the A menu and the variety was enough to keep it interesting. The banchan was solid, with the kimchi being noteworthy. The steamed egg was also exceptional. Plenty of parking as it is located in a strip mall. If your in Diamond Bar and you're looking for a good Korean AYCE at a reasonable price, Seol BBQ is hard to beat. Does forget to check in for your free ice cream sandwich.

Came here for a quick kbbq fix and other places had a massive wait. Decided to give this place a try and was satisfied with my visit! We were sat IMMEDIATELY, which was amazing. They have two different types of grills, I believe. One with a propane burner; or the ones you see at other kbbq places with the in table grill. Upon sitting, we went straight into eating. The meats were solid and the flying tiger beef belly was a favorite for my friends. The vibes were great. It doesn't have the over simulating loud music like other places so you're able to enjoy conversation. It isn't anything super special, but it is super solid!

Food was very typical of Korean all you can eat bbq, various menu options depending on what you want to spend. I got there about 6pm and was sat down right away. Service is good, but when it got busier we had to wait for more food options and water. Servers were friendly enough but I think they could have had another person helping to expedite things. Overall I thought it was good and will probably go back soon as it was a good value for the price.

The food was delicious, service was great, and ambiance was also nice and family oriented. The cabbage kimchi was amazing and cucumber kimchi was my favorite. Pricing was reasonable. My husband and I really enjoyed having an early dinner here. We'll definitely be back with the kiddos!

Absolutely amazing the meat was fresh and delicious Isaiah was our server very friendly. This is my new favorite cream barbecue place. will be back!

For the price? You can't beat this in this area. It's a very small place, but the staff was friendly and the food was tasty. We wanted some bbq after this gym and this spot really hit the spot. Affordable and quality meats!

BEST PLACE FOR KBBQ All you can eat BBQ and corn cheese. Sign me up ! The meat cuts were good and the menu for ayce was A LOT. They have Ayce pico de gallo ?! Amazing Can't recommend this place more. The service was great and the attendants were nice. The ambiance is rather quiet and clean inside. Will be coming back.
