Been here at least 20 times and it never disappoints. By far best KBBQ place I've ever been and the service is always amazing!! Will probably be back this weekend again lol! read more

Amazing food here! Hubert was our waiter and he was great! Very attentive, & very kinda my family really appreciated him :)

Out of all the AYCE kbbq spots in the area, I really appreciated all the space in their restaurant. From smaller groups to larger groups. I can tell it was very comfy. Ample of parking. But remember this place is very popular, so get there in a timely manner or prepare to go hunting for a spot. The lines are a little tight for mid sized SUVs. Great choices and delicious meats. Sides are great too. Fast service. Guess what! They give free ice cream at the end. Vanilla with brown sugar syrup. FTW! read more

pretty good kbbq! line can get long during peak dinner hours. you can add your name to the waitlist! inside is a cool ambiance, music is playing and people are eating away food was good, we liked the egg and side cucumbers to accompany our meats . the soups were also not bad. we didn't like that the belly meat came marinated so we had to keep changing our grill because it kept burning. but other than that, a solid place for ayce kbbq read more

I've eaten more than my share of Korean BBQ around the SGV and 88Q just hits so nicely! They have a great selection of authentic side dishes, service is fast, food quality is high, the soft serve ice cream to top off the meal is a must and most importantly... they have kept the place clean and you don't feel that greasy feeling that you get at other BBQs. And, take advantage of the Toast online wait list. read more

We were a party of 6 so upon arrival, had to get on a waitlist Sunday night. I suggest coming early to find parking because the parking situation is not the best! The interior was super cute and love the vibes. As for service, some servers were very accommodating replenishing our side dishes and asking questions while some others did not seem like they wanted to be there or help. For food, we got majority of the Set A menu list and had the beef brisket, bulgogi, pork belly and etc. My favorite was the pork belly and bulgogi as they were quick to bring out and also delish! My friend got the soju lychee slushie which was refreshing and yummy! At the end, we were given vanilla ice cream, though there were other flavors available but not that day. I would come here again to try out the other sets! read more

88Q Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Had a celebratory birthday dinner here with my sister! Joe was our server today, and he was extremely helpful and proactive! He brought us almost everything without us ever having to ask (waters, refills on the rice paper, etc). When I ordered my drink, he noticed it was my birthday while checking my ID and even said happy birthday! How sweet! The meat were very high quality! We only tried the beef brisket, beef belly, and pork belly but they were all fresh and had beautiful marbling All of the kitchen sides were wonderful too! The tofu stew was very spicy and had plenty of tofu (some places barely give one-two pieces). The steamed egg was light and fluffy. The fries were very crispy and not salty, which was perfect! For soju, the Viet coffee was pretty strong! It was really rich and creamy, which I appreciated :) Also, the restroom (at least the ladies' room, but I'm sure the men's has it too?) has a mouthwash station where you can press a button to dispense the cutest, tiniest paper cup for disposable mouthwash! So innovative! Thank you 88Q! read more

100/10 !! the best Korean bbq spot I've been to! All of the meats are so tasty and the sides from the kitchen are so unique & delicious! I've tried set A and set C so far and you can't go wrong with either one. Set C is a bit pricey but totally worth it. All the staff is friendly and helpful. The interior is decorated so nice, and we've never had to wait super long! read more

Best KBBQ around! Super fast service and prices are more affordable than other places for the variety of items you can order on the menu. Prices range from $38 for the Set A to $62 for Set C (highest tier that includes seafood). I also love the soups, steamed egg, and the banchan dishes. All the dishes are fresh and delicious! The restaurant is pretty big so great for larger parties and I love how smoke-less it is so no worries about inhaling all the smoke and getting your clothes smelly. The lines can get pretty long so make sure you utilize their wait list system to eliminate long wait times. read more

Came here with a few friends and was blown away by both the food quality and the overall vibe. The meat quality is fantastic--the marinated galbi and bulgogi were super flavorful, and the pork belly grilled up perfectly crisp. read more

I wanted to try a new kbbq spot so I decided to come here after seeing the diverse variety on their menu. There were different tiers that included better items, with set B being the most enticing for us. I joined the waitlist for a party of 13 & waited around 30-35 minutes before being sat at 7:30PM on a Friday night. Our server promptly greeted us and explained the menu to us. She also took our order right away & the banchan was already set up on the table. They had a good variety, ranging from cucumbers to kimchi to potato salad and even japchae. Our first round was mainly beef brisket & thin pork belly. Both of them were alright, not the best of quality but it was still delicious. The star of the show for me in the second round was their steamed egg. Next, we ordered galbi, beef tongue, & pork jowl. I was not a fan of any of these meats. Then, we tried their flat iron steak which was extremely gamey. By this point, we had almost tried everything & I was not impressed by any of the meats. Our last order was their pichana steak, which happened to be the best and my favorite meat on set B's menu. If we had tried this earlier, I would've only order this and their brisket. Overall, I would come back if I wanted to do ayce for kbbq. It is quite far from me so unless I'm extremely craving their pichana, I would make the drive for this. read more

88Q Korean BBQ is super popular for sure. Came here for a birthday dinner and we had to wait over an hour to get seated. The place inside is quite large with nice comfy padded booths. You cook your own meat and have exactly 90 minutes to eat some Korean BBQ. All of us had a good time here and I would say the meat was tasty. You also get dessert at the end with a scoop of ice cream. read more

Thank you to our server for your great service! Hubert was always refilling our side dishes with what we wanted read more

Was super craving Korean bbq and husband found this place on yelp! Glad he did! It was absolutely delicious. We came on a Friday during lunch and were seated rather quickly. The restaurant is very clean and you don't leave here smelling like bbq which I love. Our server Nicole was great! Super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed along with plenty of grill changes. The meat quality was pretty good, we got set B which is the middle tier. Had everything we needed to satisfy our cravings, well... my craving. The only meats I didn't care for were the pork items and the prime brisket which I found pretty tough. They had a good selection for kitchen items. The spicy tofu soup was good but a bit on the oily side. We loved the kimchi fried rice and the steamed egg. Will definitely come back and recommend you give it a try! read more

My son's family took me and my hubby to this wonderful AYCE Korean restaurant in RH. Since we came at off peak hour, we got the table within few minutes. As soon as we sat down, Cassie, our server, greeted us with a beautiful smile. She took the order real fast and within minutes food started coming. We got the premium brisket, flat steak, beef bulgogi, beef belly, steamed egg.. The meat was fresh, high quality with all the marbling. So tender and juicy. Love the salad, brisket sauce too. Cassie was attentive, she was frequently checking on us if we need to order more or to refill our water. Food came out fast too. At the end of the meal, everyone will get free ice cream With good food, good service. What's not to like? We'll definitely come back. read more

Best KBB place I have ever been to!!! From OC originally an have had a lot of kbb places doe there, but nothing compares to this place. First off the vibe in here IS LITT. Music bumping, people are hyped all the time. We ordered off the b set which allowed us access to the a and b menu. Our server Joseph was able to describe why the b menu might be a better suit for us and we loved his answer. Throughout us eating Joseph and other staff members were VERY attentive. Water never ran out, sides and sauces and meat was always on the oven. Place is a HAVE TO if you're in Roland heights read more

The first time I came here, I tried Set C and it was pretty good. We mainly wanted to try the sides that Set C came with (The Beef Tartare and Garlic Butter Scallops were okkk. The Seafood Pancake and Seafood Boil were good though! I just remembered that the meat quality was decent). Now, the second and third time I came here was way better than the first because the meat quality was waaayy better. We always get Set B, which i think is worth every cent!! My family always eats so much compared to their usual amount. My dad loves how they have an adjustable air vent because it sucks up majority of the smoke. The restroom is also very clean!! OKUR NOW THE SERVICE IS HOLY MOLY..EXCELLENT. On a scale of 1-10, they're 1000000. Each visit, our servers were right on it. We had Nicole, Hubert, and Nelson as our servers and they're the best. Nicole and Hubert recognized my party and I, which left us impressed by their memory since our visits were pretty spaced out. The picanha steak and the seasoned sirloin are by far our favorites!! The food always comes out very quickly as well. Anywho, this place is added to my new go to KBBQ spot in Rowland!! read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: 3/5 Family friendly: 4/5 Stroller friendly: 2/5 ADA accessible: 3/5 My friend suggested 88Q for dinner on a Friday night at 6 pm. They only take reservations for parties , I think, around 20 people. Unfortunately, my whole party was not present when I showed up at 545 so the wait ended up being around 30-45 min. Once I got the food in my mouth, allbof the hangriy-ness was an afterthought. There are 3 different levels from A:$38 to B:$48 and C:$62. We stuck with menu A and it was still a great deal with prime meats. I'm sure they were previously frozen, but when the meats came out it was perfect. Although at KBBQ the protein is usually the star ingredient, the spicy tofu soup and cinnamon sugar pineapple slices stood out to cut the saltiness of the food. Service was on point but parking was meh. There's a shared parking lot and IT IS PACKED (with some people who don't know how to park their Tesla's. But thats another story on its own ). If you're in the area I would recommend this place and hope to come back sooner than later. read more

This place was great; I completely understand why people here love it so much. there was a line outside the door before the restaurant even opened. It was our first time, so we got the middle tier. The meats were good; and the sides were just as great. The fried mandu was crispy, the garlic noodles had good flavor and texture. I don't think any of the meats in particular stood out to me (we ordered mostly the usual beef belly, brisket, and some of the ribs), but the sides definitely enhanced the flavors. The mala spice blend and the wasabi salt in particular were amazing; the korean chimichurri added a very welcomed freshness to the meats. There were a few meats that weren't very good: pork jowl, the the picanha. The restaurant had some music playing in the background; just enough to hear it, but not so loud that you couldn't talk to the rest of your group. Service was phenomenal as well. By far, they changed the grill more often than any other kbbq spot I've ever been to. The server asked for a grill change after the first plate of meat grilling, not even the first round of meats. read more

The meat cuts here were very high. My cousins and I stopped in a random weekday. We opted in for the set A AYCE menu. This was plenty as the brisket, intestines, pork collar steak, cinnamon sugar pineapple and pork belly were delicious. The meats came out fresh and did not take long to cook. The banchan were delicious. The chimichurri and wasabi powder are great to dip your meats in. They do offer the bean pasta soup and spicy soup in your sets as well. The service here was very high. Our servers brought out all of our food quickly. Our grill was automatically changed. The ceilings were very high and the ventilation was on point. Definitely save some room for dessert as the vanilla was delicious. I'll definitely be back to try their other AYCE set menus and the higher cuts of meats. read more

Still loving this place and service is still amazing and fast!! Great fun vibes!! I am so happy they still serve Beef Tartare!! I just love it and the food is great quality!! OH! This time I did order their Banana Milk, that I did not like, I thought they made it or something (my bad for not asking), but it just came in a small carton, like the juice box, and it tasted too sweet and banana tasted artificial, bleh...but everything else ROCKS still! And I'm still amazed that they clean the menus here which is fantastic! read more

Glad we gave this spot a try!! Might have found my new KBBQ spot. The ambiance and decor was nice and modern with the lights and humorous slogans. The quality of meat and sauces were top notch for even just getting the basic tier. Will definitely try the higher tier next time! Service was also very top notch. We never had to ask once about getting more meat, sides and grill change. They always came around every 5 mins to see if we needed anything. Bonus: they gave my toddler free fries to snack on since he wasn't doing KBBQ with us. But it did help to keep him occupied which was nice! Will come back again! read more

Came here being part of a party of 8. Be prepared to wait if you have a big party . Some of the tables can fit 8-10,but not too many so you are going to wait unless you get lucky and come at the right time, especially on Saturday. We had to wait about an hour and some change . Customer service here is awesome and fast paced and the servers are nice , they know what they're doing. There is a bar, just in case you get thirsty while waiting for a table. The food here is good. The meat selection for Set b is wide and plenty to choose from . The quality of the meats were good especially the short ribs and brisket . Definitely a Kbbq spot I'll come back to . Just be cautious about wait times . If you are planning a dinner at 6 make sure you get here by 5, and make sure your whole party is there, especially on the weekends. read more

Pro tip: join the waitlist online through their website to avoid an in-person wait. For a Saturday night, I joined the waitlist at 6:30 p.m. and we got in a little before 8 p.m. The check-in process is smooth, but just make sure the entire party is present to be seated. We ordered from the Set A menu for $38 and, unfortunately, ordered only one round. My appetite is not what it used to be. We tried the brisket, beef belly, and bulgogi - all of which were good. You can order 3 orders of meat at once and I believe 2 (or 3) items from the kitchen. I got the steamed egg and it had just the right texture and saltiness. It was busy and all the booths were taken but the service was still great. They changed the grill without us asking and asked if we needed anything or wanted to order more. They came by at 9 p.m. saying it was last order so that was unexpected since they close at 10 p.m. read more

First time here yesterday. It was absolutely worth the wait! Amazing service, food, quality of meat, top tier service, servers are attentive. Joe started our table off he was wonderful. He explained how everything worked and our time limit. Our server was Will. He was spectacular! But the star of the show is John. All 3 were very attentive! John was super helpful, kind, very engaging. Quality of meat and portion was amazing. Worth the money. We went with Section A. Everyone loved it. They have fresh rice paper, they make all meat and sauce fresh DAILY. Banchan was also really delicious and refillable. This is a really good korean BBQ spot because they have you 1 hour and 30 mins of eating time, and they're on top of their game. Very attentive! Bathroom was clean, although they ran out of tissue paper and seat covering. That's the only con I have. Restroom needs better attention. Would love to come back and definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Rowland Heights read more

First time trying this place, make sure you get on the waitlist! Thank goodness you don't need to be in a certain radius to get on the waitlist, cause usually this is a 1hr - 1.5hr wait lol. Parking here is also pretty crazy. They have a pretty spacious parking lot, but definitely not enough for this KBBQ joint. It's nearly impossible not to park at Jack in the Box. Once we were seated, the restaurant is very modern, and very spacious! I enjoyed how clean the restaurant was and spacious the tables and everything else were. Our server was really friendly and frequently checked up on us. The banchan selection here was also really good! I enjoyed how corn cheese was a side item. The corn cheese here was actually really nice and cheesy. I feel like it's pretty hard for kbbq joints to nail down the corn cheese cause it's not sweet or cheesy enough, but this one was spot on. We got Set A and tried various items off of it. Set A was also pretty much enough for us too haha. Starting off, we went with the classic and got the brisket, then pork belly, and steak. The brisket was actually kind of tough, even if you cook it slightly under. It's pretty thick as a brisket. The pork belly was pretty decent, quite thin actually. I enjoyed the steak one, can be cooked perfectly to soft and tender! Also tried the beef belly and that one was actually our favorite. The right amount of fat and meat, it was very flavorful! The one we liked the least was the marinated pork ribs. That one was annoying to cook cause it can be cooked unevenly cause of the shape. In the end, we finished our round with the beef belly. At the end of our meal, you get a free vanilla soft serve with brown sugar drizzle (tasted like boba!). That was definitely a delicious way to end the meal. We celebrated our friends birthday here too so they just put a giant candle on the soft serve. Would definitely come again! read more

The speed of service is something I have never experienced before. So quick and so efficient it was really impressive. Not a single request took more than a minute. They were serving other tables as well so the teamwork was on point. The foot itself was great. Quality is solid and worth the price point for the service and variety. Don't miss out on the sauces. The whole restaurant was big and open so felt spacious. One thing Id say needs improvement was the cleanness of the restroom. That was the only con from the entire dining experience. read more

This is my second time coming here and I was very impressed. My first time coming here was when they just opened and I was really happy with my visit. I came around 8 PM on a weekday night with no wait for a party of four. Parking is easy as well with a parking lot, but I can see it getting full when it gets busy. Our first server was so nice and kind. She walked us through the menu and continually checked in on us with a smile to see if we needed anything or would like to place an order. The food was delicious and you can tell the meat is high quality as well. We really liked the sides it came with, such as the spicy tofu soup and the DIY rice balls (highly recommend!). About halfway through our visit though, our server changed to a young Asian male. We got the vibe that he didn't like us for some reason. It felt like he was rushing us during our meal. Maybe because the restaurant was closing in about 30 minutes... When I placed an order for more meat at last call, it almost seemed like he was annoyed. Whenever he came to our table, he wouldn't really greet or acknowledge us. He seemed to be moving really fast. When we needed a refill on our soft drinks, he would just rudely stick his arm out without saying anything. We had a plate of beef bulgolgi still and at one point, he dumped the plate of meat onto our grill, almost as if to get us to hurry up. While we were finishing up our meats too, he asked if he could start clearing up our banchan and throwing food away. It was just a bad look, in my opinion, while we were still eating. And I don't think we were staying that late... there were still other tables finishing up their meal as well. I heard the table next to us apologized to the waiter for ordering so much, and I heard our waiter say something along the lines of "don't worry - there are some tables who order a ton of meat at the end and it takes so long" ... almost as a dig towards my party. Maybe he was stressed out or something because I think he was the only server left and maybe he just wanted to go home. The vibes just didn't feel so good with this waiter, which is why I'm giving the place a 4/5 today. I will definitely be back and I'm sure it will be a 5/5 experience but we just didn't have a good feel with our second server. read more

88Q Korean BBQ - Menu 5/2026 - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Favorite KBBQ spot in the 626! 88Q has opened fairly recently, but has built up a great rapport of quality meat, service, and trendy/modern design they got going on inside. On a Sunday night, around 6pm we got seated under 30 mins after joining the waitlist. Our party of 6 kept joking that our servers were reading our mind, because before the words came out our mouth that we wanted a grill change or another order of meats they were there. This happened constantly, so honestly amazing team they have over here and it's clear they got the efficiency down par. And of course, the quality of meat, I feel like is way too hard to beat at this price point. $38 for Set A, and all of the meat we ordered tasted great with our favorite for sure being the Beef Belly. In addition, they still a bunch of stuff included like tofu soup, corn cheese, French fries, and my favorite the dipping sauce assortment. Korean chimichurri was my pick - went through like 3 rounds the whole night haha read more

Wow! This is my new go to Korean barbecue spot now! I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was filled inside, but did not wait in a long line because of how big this place is! The service was really fast after we ordered our food meat started coming out and all of the waiters were more than happy to serve. The meat was fresh and I really enjoyed the sirloin pieces of meat with garlic marinate. The salad was nice and crunchy and I thoroughly enjoyed the salad dressing and would usually use that as dipping sauce however, since the meat was super flavorful, I didn't find myself dipping as much. At the end, they had vanilla soft serve ice cream with brown sugar syrup, and it was super delicious! I don't have any critique to say about this place, I was thoroughly impressed with the food service and ambience! We'll try to come here for dinner next time hopefully their wait isn't crazy. read more

Waitlist when you arrive. Can have long wait times on weekends, fyi. Get here early. Parking lot spaces are small :( Service is great. Never had an issue every time I have eaten here. This is one of my favorite reasons why I come. Their Wasabi salt is very addicting. Their tofu soup even tastes better than some tofu houses tbh Their tend to marinate some meats, such as beef belly. I would recommend to ask for non marinated. Highly recommend. read more
