Food and service were great, but the place was a bit too loud for my comfort level. I understand this is a social spot but when I say loud I mean LOUD, you have to yell just have a conversation with the people at your table. Service was friendly and courteous and took their time to walk us through the ordering process. The food was very delicious just hoped the chicken were sliced a bit more thin, takes way too long to get them cooked with how thick they are. Expect to leave this place “stinky” all the food odors will stick to your clothing; so I recommend this to be the last thing you do before going back home.

I was so excited to try this place, its such an authentic all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant.There are 3 different options you can pick from the menu:[A] Station (AYCE 39 Items) $29.99[B] Station (AYCE 50 Items) $39.99[C] Station (AYCE 58 Items) $58.99As my first time here, I went with their B menu, and trust me, it has a huge variety of meat you can order from. My favorites are the pork jowl and beef tongue!! The service was excellent as well. Our waitress must have helped us change grills 10+ times.

I’ve been here twice now and it’s always been a good time. What stands them apart from other kbbq spots is that they have pretty tasty side dishes and a buffet bar for additional meat selections, salad and select side dishes. They have karaage as one of their side dishes and it’s pretty good. They have (3) menu selections: Menu A priced at $29.99 for 39 items, Menu B priced at $39.99 for 50 items and Menu C priced at $58.99 for 58 items. If you’re not craving seafood and just want the standard kbbq meats, then you can just go with Menu A. When I went both times, I opted for Menu B since I’m always craving for beef tongue so it’s worth it for me. Our server was super attentiv and would change our grills quite frequently. Meat orders were always replenished. One thing I do wish is that they offer steam eggs. I understand many kbbq spots removed it from their menu when the price of eggs were rocket high. It’s not a deal breaker though and I would still recommend this kbbq spot to friends who want great selections of meat and speedy service.|| L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G ||-Cross Streets are Beach Blvd and S La Mirada Blvd-Located in the same plaza as Paris Baguette, BCD Tofu House, Cocohodo and more!-Although there are many spots in the plaza, there’s still ample parking.|| F O O D ||Here are the meats I’ve tried:#1 Marinated Prime Beef Boneless Short Rib Cut*#2 Prime Ribeye#3 Prime Montreal Top Sirloin Steak#7 Prime Beef Tongue*#13 Premium Butter and Garlic Shrimp#14 Premium Beef Brisket*#17 Caribbean Prime Beef Brisket#18 Premium WAGYU Beef Belly**favoritesI highly recommend getting #1 because it has just the right amount of meat and fat and is marinated well. They give out a decent portion so I’d recommend not ordering this with other thicker cuts of meat. When I had their beef tongue during my first visit earlier this year, I liked that they provided a thicker cut but when I went recently, it was much thinner, similar to brisket thin. I’d prefer it to be a thicker cut but maybe that is just me. Nonetheless, I’d still order it though. The brisket and wagyu beef belly were super delicious and paired well with my radish paper and rice paper.

Great KBBQ spot in Buena Park! They have buffet style meats to serve yourself and also kitchen order. Meat quality is pretty good. I really liked the beef belly and rib fingers. They also have sides you can serve yourself. We just did the standard menu and I enjoyed it!The restaurant is very spacious and staff is friendly. Parking is easy. I would definitely come back here when I’m in Buena Park!

First and Last time here. It’s not worth it at all. Came in on Tuesday around 4pm. It’s hot outside and insideThey do have few different option menu to choose from, but server kinda rushing us to order the food. Once we decided to go with option A, the server told us “just order with the number, not the name.”The food/salad bar was not cold at all. It has lot of marinated meat.The front door was opened, so some flies were flying around the table which was very annoying. Fan was off and there was no AC running. Super hottt!The meat was not that fresh, lot of fat and the sirloin was super chewy.Banchan were not good, kinda sad looking.Service was nothing special, you order food and they bring it out. There were about 5 tables (including us), mostly 2-3 people/table. From lots of AYCE bbq we’ve tried, this was one of huge disappointment experience.

I came here with my friend another day to try out the Korean bbq! We came in at 2 pm, it wasnt packed at all! We got seated and treated with all the sides and utensils right away! We chose option B so we ordered the meats we wanted.The service here is amicable! The food here is delicious! The interior here is huge and it has a meat and salad bar! I would recommend trying the wagyu pork belly and beef tongue! I would coming in during lunch time when it isnt packed.

You have to get IAN as a server!! He is quick precise and does grill changes at the right time. This place is great. We got A for $29.99 and the rib fingers, wagging beef belly and brisket is a must. Love the sauces and banchan. The ambiance is fun. Great great service. Definite spot to visit. Celebrated my bday here and it was bomb!!

Normally Im skeptical of AYCE spots but I was pleasantly surprised with this one! We got the $39.99 option with 50 items. My favorites were the ribeye and the wagyu beef belly. The staff was very friendly and attentive with bringing us grill changes and more meat. The restaurant had ample parking and was nice and clean inside. We came hungry and left stuffed!Update: We went back to try their section C menu for $58.99 which has 58 items. The main ones that were different on here that I wanted to try were the kotsal (highly marbled but a little too fatty for me) and the prime short rib! The brisket was a little chewy but maybe we cooked it wrong or let it sit out too long :(. The marinated short rib was my favorite. We also tried the scallops.

High quality cuts of meat available. My favorite is the #1 in Menu C! The grills are very strong. The staff was very attentive and changed grills frequently. The best thing is the modern and clean ambiance and they are open late!

The wait was a little long, but you already know why. Long waits = great tasty foods!I was very impressed! The quality of meats, flavor of the meats, cleanliness and the staffs makes it worth visiting again.
