Wang Cho Korean BBQ

One of the best Korean BBQ spots in Riverside. They offer plenty of meat, side dishes, and vegetables. Be sure to try the pork belly with hot sauce. The quality of the food is excellent, and you’re sure to have a wonderful dining experience here.

When it comes to Korean BBQ in Riverside, WANG CHO is my choice. Located at the Riverside Plaza, the atmosphere is great, and the servers are nice and friendly. Whether it's a special occasion or just going out to eat with friends, family, or that special person, you won't be disappointed. Korean BBQ is an experience you won't forget. Selecting your choices of marinated flavorful meats usually beef, pork, and chicken and cooking them on a gas grill yourself on your table is a great experience. Select your choice meats from three different menus which are EMPEROR, KING, or PRINCE which is all you can eat and each menu comes with side dishes. They also have a lunch special from 12:00 to 3:00 my favorite meat choice is the beef bulgogi and beef brisket the dipping sauces and condiments is also very tasty. If you like spicy, then ask for the chili dipping sauce. They also have soft drinks and  alcohol. Try WANG CHO and enjoy the experience.💯🥢(Menu prices on the photos may be different now from when the pictures were taken).

Sometimes the servers take a while to get to your table to get your rounds of food. Quality of food is good though. This place isn't the best in my opinion but it's okay, better than Gen! I do love the corn though.

Don’t recommend. Way overrated KBBQ place— was actually one of the worst we’ve ever been. Meats weren’t marinated properly and of poor quality. The sides were also meh. Lacks flavor and taste.

My family and I used to frequent this all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant a couple of years ago, and yesterday, while in the area, we were craving some good food. It was the first time I'd seen the restaurant not busy, and we were seated immediately. However, there's now a limit on how much meat you can order at a time (four was the limit), and you don’t get any sides unless you order them separately. Our initial waiter was quick to help, but we never saw him again after placing our order. The meats arrived very quickly, but it was challenging to get the attention of the staff for sauce or sides. I had to ask three times for hot sauce before finally receiving it 15 minutes before we left. Our waiter/waitress changed with every order, and after three or four orders, no one came to our table to see if we wanted more. The staff seemed to avoid eye contact and appeared to be rushing us, even though we had only been there for an hour, and the time limit was two hours. Additionally, our water was never refilled unless I asked. I was disappointed by the customer service. While every other table around us was attended to, we felt ignored and overlooked. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you enjoy being ignored by the staff.

Located in the Riverside Plaza on De Anza Ave, closer to Merrill Ave behind El Torito with plenty on parking. We went on Wednesday at about 6 PM and were lucky to find an open table because shortly after, there was a wait time. First time going to this location. We tried their lowest package, which is the "Prince" at $26.99/person. Not so worth it when you have 3 kids under 10 years of age who do not eat much meat, but they had a good experience. Sides are available upon request. I was surprised at the small amount of food portions they'd bring out as we ordered (like 1 sausage for our party of 6). The meats were okay. The sides did not seem or taste fresh. I don't know what to think about their overall service. Our server was not friendly or attentive at all, but the staff walking around to swap out the grill did an amazing job. The restaurant was clean and organized with nice decor and lighting. There's a nice, good-sized bar by the entrance. Seems like they have the capacity for outside seating but were not set up for use during our visit.

Visiting the Riverside area, we decided to get some Korean BBQ and settled on Wang Cho. Overall, we had a very nice experience at Wang Cho. We went with the King menu. Lots of choices, although we mainly stuck with beef items. The spicy pork spareribs were great. The seasoning and spice level is not as aggressive. Some might say their food lacks flavor. To each his own. Service is attentive, and food comes quickly. Perhaps because it was a Monday. After placing an order, items would arrive in 2 to 3 minutes. I like how they place a tray on the side of the table so that raw items can stay off the table and dirty dishes can be placed on the tray and whisked away Grill cover changes are frequent, and the servers come by often to see if you want to order anything more. Overall Wang Cho is a good korean bbq restaurant, in my opinion. It's not as loud and industrial looking like Gen BBQ and unlike Gen BBQ, their food comes quicker.

‼FOOD POISONING‼My cousin and I visited Wang Cho to celebrate my birthday yesterday evening. After an hour, my stomach began to hurt like hell. Something was brewing in there, it was very painful. I developed a migraine, my body was very fatigued (especially my lower back). TMI, but when I arrived home, I developed a fever as well and had diarrhea. My symptoms still remain. I was hoping that Wang Cho's standards were higher this time around. I visited this SAME location pre-covid & the brisket was brown and smelly! It was NOT fresh/stored properly (2021). The meat looked & tasted perfectly okay last night. Here's what we ordered (pictured below): 1. Bento box 2. 2 rice bowls 3. 2 plates brisket, 1 plate pork belly, 1 plate beef bulgogi. 4. ALL sides: fish cake, japchae, rice paper, kimchi, pasta salad 5. Green salt & meat sauce 6. Thai tea Please DON'T EAT here‼

Fernando served my group real well. Food was good specially the wangcho steak and macaroons.

great service juan was a great waiter he offered great customer service. and was so fast and efficient at everything. very kind man.

Food: 5/5 I miss this spot. I moved to the Central Valley and think about this spot often. The meats are delicious! My go to is the basil pork belly OMG so good! Service: 4/5 Service is fine, can vary depending on how busy it gets. Ambiance: 4/5 Typically full with lots of people. It can get pretty loud. I don't mind it!

All three stars goes only to our busboy Fernando! He was the star. Management needs to learn from him. He was super fast and very friendly. First, we arrived at the restaurant at 9:10pm. The website and yelp page says they close at 10pm. So we get in and ask for a table for 3. The hostess says that they are closed, and that last call for order is 9:30pm. We told her that it's only 9:10 and that we would be very quick about ordering. She called her manager in order for the manager to tell us that they were closed. So we politely asked if we can just please be seated and that we would be very quick about ordering and eating. The manager reluctantly decided to let us be served. We thanked her, but at that point we were given the eye rolls and cold shoulder from both the hostess and manager. Once we were seated, we ordered everything we wanted in one round. The food came out very fast. We cooked and scarfed everything down, paid our bill and was walking out by 9:58pm. There were still other guests cooking and eating even though we were the last to be seated and served. When we left, I said thank you to the hostess. She just continued to walk by me, not acknowledging my "Thank you." She just completely ignored us, not even a smile. I suggest that to keep this from happening with other customers, just change the hours on the website from closing at 10pm to closing at 9pm. It makes no sense to say you close at 10pm and turn customers away at 9pm.

Food tasted good and interior looks nice. Service was bad. Had to ask twice for napkins , and dipping sauce. Asked for updates on drinks. The waiter seemed like he didn't want to be there , never smiled. Wished he gave updates on your order or drink is about to come out . When we were done eating we waited for our check for a long time. then finally asked about it and was told to pay up front. Really strange for a dining experience. My cousin mentioned this bad service is why he stopped coming to this location. We would have rather drove another 30 minutes somewhere else, on top of the 20 minute drive coming here. Go somewhere else if you want decent service. Seemed like this place is low on servers or doesn't train staff properly.

Wonderful experience! The wait was over 30 minutes, but worth it. 5 adults, one toddler. $28 for all you can eat was well worth it. Everything tasted fresh and amazing. Cooking trays were changed out regularly, customer service was phenomenal, restaurant was tidy and nicely decorated. Spicy bulgogi spicy pork spicy pork belly was so good! Toddler enjoyed the rice glass noodles non spicy meats and fish cakes. We will be back!

Oh man, where do I start. This was our first time to this restaurant. We got the Emperor menu at $39.99 per person. We paid $475.33 (gratuity was added to that) we were a party of 9. There was a lot that our party wasn't happy about. We took some family members to try/experience Koran BBQ. They all have never tried it before. So I was excited for them. My husband and I eat Koran bbq all the time. I get different Koran bbq places are all different. But this one was hard to get into. Let's start with the positive things about this restaurant. It's nice and big. We were seated right away. We were a big group (9). And we all had a lot of room. I liked how the table had 3 grills. So we were able to cook lots of meat. And once we started cooking they changed our grills without us asking. Now on to the bad... This restaurant was extremely HOT! They have fans everywhere inside this restaurant. At some point more towards the end of our meal, we finally asked if they could turn on the fan. Because it was so damn hot. I don't know if that a tactic for them to get people not to eat a lot. Make them hot and they won't eat a lot. But my son had to go to the restroom to put water on his face. He was just so hot. Other people were fanning themselves. They did put the fan on when we asked. And it felt a lot better but those fans are also blowing right on your food. It was very off putting. But we were just too hot to care at that point! The service... Once you sit down and they take your drink/food order. Good luck for a waiter or waitress's to come back. They would drop your food off and then take off. Hardly did they come in and check on us. I asked if they had different dipping sauce because all they gave us was salt pepper and some kind of soy sauces. I had asked if they had a hot sauce or anything else and she said she would bring it out. It never came and we were already done eating by then. We felt we had to order lots of meats every time they came to our table because they hardly came to our table. Our water pitchers were empty. Not once did they fill it up. And to be quite honest. Some of the meat options needed to be more seasoned or maybe be marinated a little longer. Some options of meat were better than others. And maybe add more dipping sauces? To add flavor to some of your meats? For the amount we paid, they need to come up with a better rotation system. Because coming back to our table and us having to give them a long list of things we needed like napkins, side items, sauce is just ridiculous. Other Koran bbq places have a button to push for someone to come to your table. I've been to a Koran bbq place that has a iPad at each table to place more orders. I feel really bad this Koran bbq place was my family's first experience. Had I know it was going to be like this, I would've waited and picked some other place. I wouldn't recommend this place. Just take the food and service out of it. It was just too hot in this restaurant to enjoy your meal.

This place was real cool for us to eat on the rush. We had the grill warming up before our meats came out so everything cooked relatively fast. Their restaurant wasn't really busy. There was some sorts of debris trash on the floors in different areas as we walked in. Let's see when we come back as the competition is HOT!! Henry our server was such a peach

Wang Cho Korean BBQ is fantastic! Even tho the place was packed, we were able to be seated in a timely manner. Inside there is plenty of seating as well as on the outside. The food is delicious and authentic, with perfectly seasoned meats and tasty side dishes. I love their garlic pork belly, Bulgolgi beef, cali steak, and sausage. They have plenty of other yummy meat choices as well. The service is excellent. staff are friendly and attentive. The ambiance is cozy and modern, making for a great dining experience. Highly recommend! I would definitely be coming back.

We were looking forward to this meal out since we ate in all week. We were kind of underwhelmed with it - after eating at a few k bbq places in the past to compare. The meat was sort of flavorless and fatty/chewy and the sides were bland and very tiny. The meat portions are sliced so thin they fall apart, tastes like you're eating ground beef. The hot tofu soup was basically all oil. The quality just wasn't there for us with this place. Plus side - Our server was very kind and attentive, they have large tables and tons of seating inside and out. He was good about refilling drinks and coming to check on us.

I came from Moreno Valley just to eat here I think is the best Korean BBQ on Riverside I love it and the price is not that bad compared to others

Located at the popular Riverside Plaza, Wang Cho KBBQ offers ample parking and easy access. Check-in is handled via a tablet at the entrance, and the place can get crowded, so it's wise to plan accordingly. Wang Cho offers an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) experience, with separate lunch and dinner menus. For dinner, there are three pricing levels--Prince, King, and Emperor--with reasonable prices given the offerings. Unfortunately, like many places post-pandemic, Wang Cho seems to have experienced a decline in quality. The variety of banchan (side dishes) has decreased, the salad quality is noticeably lacking compared to before, and it's now offered only upon request. Previously, there was a full bar with an extensive selection of liquors, but now it's mostly limited to beer, wine, sake, soju, and pre-blended beverages. Having been regulars here for over 10 years, we typically choose the King level, which includes some premium beef options. The marinated short rib is a standout--soft, flavorful, and delicious, and the thinly sliced beef tongue is always a treat with its rich flavor and satisfying texture. On this occasion, we had an international guest and decided to splurge for the Emperor level, hoping for an elevated experience. Sadly, it was a disappointment. The Angus beef rib and steak were both extremely chewy, even after trying different grilling techniques. The jumbo scallops were small, smelled fishy, and were clearly frozen, which detracted from the meal. Despite the price difference between the King and Emperor levels not being significant, the lack of improvement in meat quality is still disheartening. Moving forward, we'll likely stick to the King or even Prince level. Some of the tastiest options, like the spicy red pork belly, marinated large intestine, and Cali steak, are available at the base level, which provides better value without sacrificing taste. I wish I could give a higher rating, as I've loved coming here over the years and want to continue supporting this family-run business. However, the focus seems to have shifted toward quantity over quality, and while AYCE is appealing for some, I'm more interested in the latter. Wang Cho has the potential to be great again, but for now, the decline in quality makes it difficult to fully recommend at the higher pricing tiers.

When I visited. The food was so very tasty. I love that bulgogi beef!!! The service was great and the atmosphere was good! Great place to get full and hang out with the fam

My family and I used to visit this ayce Korean bbq restaurant all the time a couple years ago and yesterday we were in the area and was craving some good food. This was the first time I saw the restaurant not busy and there was no wait to be seated. There's now a limit for how many meats you can order at a time, four was the limit, and you aren't given any sides unless you order it. Our original waiter was quick to help us out but we never saw him again after the initial order. The meats came out extremely quickly after our order was placed but it was very difficult to flag down any staff if you wanted sauce or sides. I had to ask three times to get some hot sauce before finally receiving it 15 minutes before I left. Our waiter/waitress switched every order and three or four orders in, no one stopped at our table to see if we wanted to order more. The staff would purposely avoid eye contact and it felt like they were trying to rush us out, we had only been there for an hour and the time limit was two hours. The staff also never refilled our water until I asked. I was honestly disappointed by the customer service, while every table around us were attended to, we were ignored and disregarded. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you like being ignored by the staff.

My first time trying kbbq in the area and this place was nice. Typical meats but service was great. It's a nice area in a shopping center. I would return.

Wangcho KBBQ is my go-to spot whenever I'm in the IE, and with multiple locations, it's hands down the best option for AYCE Korean BBQ. They offer three menu options--A, B, and C--featuring a wide variety of meats including beef, poultry, pork, seafood, and plenty of complimentary side dishes. One of the main reasons I keep coming back is their amazing tofu soup--honestly, not many places make it as delicious as Wangcho does! If you're with friends, definitely try the beer tower--it's super fun! If not, their soju is a solid choice. Their salad is tastier than most, thanks to their flavorful dressing, and the glass noodles are a standout, better than what you'll find at most KBBQ spots. The place is always busy, but wait times are surprisingly short. Who knows, maybe I'll see you there sometime!

Always excellent food and excellent service. Radish paper really helps cut through the heaviness of the meat, and I like to dip my meat in the tofu stew to cool it off a bit. It does get crowded sometimes but it's never too loud. And for Korean BBQ the value is excellent.

I love how quick (usually less than 20 mins) it takes For us to get seated. Our waiter was awesome, and the grill changing time was so quick and efficient. I really enjoyed the Korean Lunch Box! For $27 a person, this place has the best bang for your Buck and the meats are very high quality in taste. I wish that y'all would do reservations in Yelp!

This is one of my favorite Korean BBQ spots. The service is always great they are always coming in to check on you and place your order for more meats and other items. The place is a good size but still feels cozy. I would recommend this place but beware it is busy so place accordingly.

We had the lunch special. It had great choices and was an excellent value. The chicken dishes were excellent. This is not something you normally say about Korean bbq. The basil chicken was especially good. You should try this place! You won't be disappointed.

First time here, this review is coming from someone that mostly ate in LA and moved to the IE. this was good but not the absolute best, the kimchi was not completely fermented and the meat was still semi frozen. But fortunately the Cali steak was delicious (7.8/10), and the service was decent. I would come back, at least to scratch that itch.

this place is good. However, it could be better. The service was okay. Our server, Robson, was very friendly and good. However, we would go long periods of time, needing a grill change and needing to order. I know it was not his fault, more of a team effort. it was very busy! we understand and appreciate how hard our server worked. We were sat by the patio and the doors were wide-open around 8 o'clock at night . It was freezing and the entire meal I was shivering. I know they can't control the weather however, I just wish I was more comfortable while I ate. Thanks guys!

wang cho definitely a solid spot to get the job done. i have visited other korean bbq chains within the year and yea they just don't hit like wang cho. maybe it's because i'm such a big corn cheese fan and other places sometimes don't offer that side option. but regardless the meats are super flavorful and the ambiance is nice. service could use some improving tho.

Always a good time at Wang Cho. Even the lowest tier menu has extensive options and a variety of cuts and sauces to try. The banchan this time around had some hits and misses, with the fish cakes and the glass noodles winning. Also, radish wrap beats rice paper every time. This time the servers knew we needed a grill change before we even did, and were much more attentive than the first time I came, despite being a busy Saturday evening. Love bringing guests here and treating them to a filling and satisfying meal.

Service from the waitresses is so horrible! Came in yesterday and had a server named Valin and she was just bad!!! Her attitude her lack of follow up and the Mac salad she brought us looked like someone already ate over it. She just had a really bad attitude from start to finish. So after not seeing her for over 15 minutes and we were out of meat, another server Fernando came and took over and saved the day. She needs to go back in the kitchen with the piss poor service she provided! The portions of the sides have for sure changed, like a spoonful of each. Lol. I've been coming since the prince menu was $19.99 and now it's $27.99.

First time at this k-bbq place and it didn't disappoint. I read a few of the reviews before we went so we were not expecting a lot we just wanted to try the food. Food: we got the prince all you can eat, you can order 4 meats at a time and side dishes as many as you wNt, meat was good, soup was good , serving was good, condiments were good, good portion size. Food came right away. No long wait. Actually you have to food came faster that we could eat. Service: We were seated right away and seen by our server. Our server Jessie in the orange jump suit was the bomb!!! He was on it all the time. He took care of us well. Very friendly, attentive,and courteous . Ambiance: Maybe it is a little cooler now but it was not hot as some claimed in their reviews. Of course it can get hot because you are cooking but it was not THAT hot! Price range affordable. You have to try this place.

It has been a family tradition to eat here on Christmas Eve every year. I called and checked the days hours and was told it was normal hours. Got a call at 12:30 on Christmas Eve that they'd be closing at 6PM and couldn't accommodate us. We had multiple families meeting us for dinner and now our night is ruined. Such BAD BUSINESS. Wang Cho just lost a faithful customer! Eat somewhere else! The place is dirty and the service is bad but we always overlooked that because we liked the food.

Great options and service! The smallest and cheapest menu still had a lot of choices. The meat was really fresh and of awesome quality. Everything we ordered was delicious and we didn't have any problems. The service was absolutely impeccable. My friends and I kept ordering multiple times and asking for certain things throughout the meal yet the servers didn't complain a bit. They also brought everything out super quickly and were very efficient. The place has an awesome vibe and plenty of seating. They have a really tall ceiling and fan for all of the smoke. My friends also really enjoyed the side dishes and thought they were pretty high quality. Will definitely be back if we're ever in the area!

Located in the Riverside Plaza on De Anza Ave, closer to Merrill Ave behind El Torito with plenty on parking. We went on Wednesday at about 6 PM and were lucky to find an open table because shortly after, there was a wait time. First time going to this location. We tried their lowest package, which is the "Prince" at $26.99/person. Not so worth it when you have 3 kids under 10 years of age who do not eat much meat, but they had a good experience. Sides are available upon request. I was surprised at the small amount of food portions they'd bring out as we ordered (like 1 sausage for our party of 6). The meats were okay.

There's a nice, good-sized bar by the entrance. Seems like they have the capacity for outside seating but were not set up for use during our visit.

Love coming to this location! They have the best service, food, and prices. The restaurant is clean and always a nice comfortable meal. My husband and I come here often and will keep coming for some amazing KBBQ.

AK!! Thank you! Great service and plates came out quick. Loved that they changed out the grills and brought out extra sides. Definitely coming back. Also thanks to Juan and Fernando too! Cool guys!

Service was great! They helped us a lot. and were super patient, attentive, friendly. they changed our grills frequently much appreciated. Drink was yummy

Wangcho is always my favorite spot for Korean bbq all you can eat! Very fresh and nice customer service

This place is always on point and the food is amazing. You can tell the meat is higher quality than some other places. They have a lunch special that's affordable so I recommend going during lunch if you're craving on a budget. The staff is attentive and they check in pretty often, I love the booth seating they have for a more intimate atmosphere and they do offer chair seating if that's what you'd prefer mostly for bigger parties. The music isn't crazy loud so you can still have a conversation and they have a good list for meat selections. The only down side is the wait time but after you're seated you're good to go.

Wang Cho had a lot of variety when it comes to the menu. My group mainly ordered beef belly, bulgogi and the few options of steak that they had. Overall the meat tasted good and my group had no complaints. Service was great as we were served by a man named Joel. He was quick with coming back to change or grill and taking our orders constantly so that we can keep on eating.

Great food. Great service. The staff is always an absolute joy. I wish they allowed us to call in reservations, BUT that doesn't take away from the great atmosphere. This is my go to place for good Korean.

Wang Cho Korean barbecue was one of the other Korean barbecue restaurants that in Riverside besides koreana and it was really close to where we were. It opens at 12 PM until 10 PM and other days it's 12 PM to 11 PM, I believe on weekends. when we got there, we had to sign in even though we were the first customers there we got seated within five minutes, and they took our drink order and they brought all of the appetizers and got our order. The price was decent. The food was OK. It wasn't that great and the customer service was OK. It could've been better. I kept having to raise my hand and having to track down our server to get us more water or more appetizers or anything like that I wish he was more proactive and asking what we needed instead of me having to raise my hand and say excuse me I need this or excuse me I need that . overall, I wouldn't really come back here again. I would probably go to another Korean place somewhere in Orange County or something.

We have been to this restaurant many times. But the price is getting a bit too much for a family of 4 when 2 are less than 6 years old. Therefore, we decided to try take out this time! We chose 1lb of brisket, 1lb of pork belly, and a few side orders. Just FYI, the side is about $2 each. Decent portion. They said salad cannot be takeout; plus they never do takeout for Galbi soup but it was listed on the takeout menu?‍ Overall, I think we will do take out more until our kids are older. Because this is just becoming unaffordable for K-bbq. The person who answered the call was not that nice.

My go-to spot when I'm craving Korean BBQ. Be prepared for a wait, especially if you're going around dinner time on the weekend, but always well worth it. You pay a flat fee and can eat however much your heart desires for 2 hours. They offer a variety of raw meats including shrimp, pork, beef and chicken and you get to cook it right in front of you. This makes a really great date night in my opinion, but also works well for families or larger groups. If you're in the mood for this style of food, you should definitely check this place out!

They customer service wasn't so great I had to look for my waiter it was my time so I wasn't familiar with the menu or the experience

‼FOOD POISONING‼My cousin and I visited Wang Cho to celebrate my birthday yesterday evening. After an hour, my stomach began to hurt like hell. Something was brewing in there, it was very painful. I developed a migraine, my body was very fatigued (especially my lower back). TMI, but when I arrived home, I developed a fever as well and had diarrhea. My symptoms still remain. I was hoping that Wang Cho's standards were higher this time around. I visited this SAME location pre-covid & the brisket was brown and smelly! It was NOT fresh/stored properly (2021). The meat looked & tasted perfectly okay last night. Here's what we ordered (pictured below): 1. Bento box 2. 2 rice bowls 3. 2 plates brisket, 1 plate pork belly, 1 plate beef bulgogi. 4. ALL sides: fish cake, japchae, rice paper, kimchi, pasta salad 5. Green salt & meat sauce 6. Thai tea Please DON'T EAT here‼

Went on a late Friday night and was seated immediately. Really nice ambiance and modern interior. Ordered the King menu because we wanted to try the shrimp. Good amount of variety for the banchan, but wished they had more staples like lettuce wrap, rice paper wrap, potato salad, etc. Good and quick service. Soju came out cold and served with shot glasses. Favorite dishes included beef brisket, wangcho steak, garlic butter shrimp, and garlic pork belly. Tables were cleared quite frequently and our grill was changed twice, but the server forgot to bring out more sides when requested. Overall, pretty good meal but a bit pricey for the options. Would come again for a special occasion :)

Went with my family to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I took a little cake and the person that checked us in kindly said they could put it in the fridge. While eating we heard waiters singing HB at different tables. When we were finishing our food, my husband told our waiter about our cake. Our waiter came with the cake, still on the box and in the bag and hand it to my husband. We had to ask for plates and napkins. When he brought the napkins and extra plates, I told him again it was her birthday and we were hoping to sing for her. He just looked at me and left. Right after that he came back with the other waiters, with a cake and a candle and sang at the table next to us. I know singing HB is additional that they don't need to do. It was unfortunate to see how obvious it was he purposely just didn't sing at our table. Food was great, as always. The place was extremely hot. We tried hard to not let the experience ruin the night, we were surprise at how we were treated. We usually come to Want Cho to celebrate many of our birthday days.

Juan is hands down the best server l've ever had-anywhere. If you're coming to Wang Cho in Riverside and don't *personally* ask for him, you're doing it all wrong. From start to finish, Juan delivered exceptional service that made our meal unforgettable. He's incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely cares about making your experience amazing. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure every detail was perfect without us ever needing to ask. It's rare to find someone who goes above and beyond like he does. Wang Cho is already a great spot, but Juan elevates it to the next level. Trust me-you'll regret not requesting him. Thank you, Juan, for making our night so special! We'll definitely be back because of you.

Always good service! Juan was the best server we've had since we've been here! So attentive and kind. Definitely deserves a raise. No complaints. Wow just Wow

Went here for dinner with my kids and we had a great time. Meats were good and I loved the sides. Our waiter and the others helped out to ask us if everything was okay. They were all attentive and refilled our drinks throughout the dinner. They replaced our grill checking often if the grill was too charred. The place gets busy with a lot of people but we were able to get a seat within minutes. This is a good place to take your family or have dinner with friends.

The service has been on point out last couple of visits. The grills are changed out and our food is out quick. This is my favorite kbbq place and highly recommend them. The Angus Steak on the Emperor menu is delicious. The garlic pork belly is also really good.

Cesar is always great and we are regulars at Wang Chos but because it's always busy we never thought we weren't recognized but he remembered us and was asking on how we were doing since he hadn't seen us in a while which was so sweet!!! This is a great place and we always enjoy going. Like I said before we are regular goers because of the staff and food quality but didn't realize that the staff actually remember us or our orders! Thank you so much to both Wang Cho and Cesar!!!!

The service was great, they always check on us to ask if we needed anything. 4 stars because the tofu stew was not good, the soup tasted like just a kimchi juice, the intestine was very tough and was just a waste because we dis not eat it. Other Korean bbq restaurants boil them to make them tender.
