    Sauce, they don't give sesame oil
    Andrew W.

    Service is extremely absent. Matt turned the fire on the lowest setting at the start and never came back. Make sure you know what you want from the beginning, because it's likely the only time they will see you. The meat quality is not good, so it's better to order marinated meats to cover that. Avoid popular, un marinated cuts because they are the worst. We had it rough because the low heat stewed the thicker meat into a chewing exercise.

    A solid ayce Korean bbq spot that offers a variety of meats and side dishes! My standard go to orders are the beef brisket and beef belly (pro tip: combine both on the grill for a perfect balance of fatty and lean meat). I especially liked the cilantro banchan, which is not something I've commonly seen in other kbbq restaurants. I also enjoyed the honey rice cakes, grilling them gave a nice crunchy and chewy textured. Dinner prices were expensive but comparable to other ones in the area. Service was quick and the grills were changed frequently. Overall the spot has great vibes and is a staple spot for kbbq.

    I've been to All That Barbecue a number of times. We came on a Wednesday evening recently. Check in with the tablet next to the hostess area. The wait time was about 25 minutes for our group of four. Through Yelp, it will tell you what place you are in line to be seated. We had enough time to go next-door to buy some snacks at 99 Ranch market. We were seated in a booth near a corner. Unfortunately, our grill had a low flame and it took forever for our meats to cook. A couple of the staff tried to fix it but it sounded like that particular grill was problematic. This made it for a longer outing for sure. Good thing not all of us were hangry. We appreciated how the staff assisted all of the tables as one team so that we didn't have to rely on one staff member. They helped move things smoothly. Everyone was nice and provided friendly service despite it being busy during the dinner rush. There are no tiers of meat items like other restaurants. That's what I like about this place. We enjoyed the brisket, beef and pork belly, filet, rib meat and baby octopus. The tofu soup is decent with just enough spice for me. The banchan side dishes were not that great though. The kimchi tasted old on its last day before it gets tossed in fried rice or soup. What's up with the chopped cilantro with dressing as a side dish? Don't get me wrong, I love cilantro, but not just by itself with some sauce doused on it. We will be back when we need a local KBBQ place.

    Came here for lunch and was unfortunately so disappointed. We originally wanted to try the $30 lunch price however we wanted galbi and that is only offered on the dinner menu which is a total rip off and does not offer many more options for an extra $10. The meat quality of the galbi was very poor. It was chewy and the marinade did not taste good. Basically everything tasted just okay and had little flavoring. For 3 people it cost about $130 so I wish we'd spend a few extra dollars and go somewhere with better quality meat. The service was okay, kind but we had to flag somebody down when we wanted more meat. The burner was very slow. The restaurant was clean so that's a plus

    Still the best around. They added some new steak options that are incredible! We ordered Fillet and got two baseball steaks to grill. The meat was very tender. This place is all inclusive, you pay for dinner and you get everything. There are no top tiers, which I do not like. You get the best meats! Everyone wins. Highly recommended.

    Finally a quality AYCE KBBQ place in Irvine! :') Visited for the first time in so many years. Solid banchan, yummy salad, and good service. I came here for a weekday lunch and the place was pretty empty. Clean and spacious. Servers are nice and attentive, and they bring the food out pretty quickly after you order. The brisket and pork belly are nice and thin, just the right amount of fatty too. You get a choice of a small plate or a large plate, and the large is more than enough for a party of 4. We especially liked the seasoned boneless rib meat (Don't Rib Me Off) - super flavorful and tender! The menu item names are cute and unique too lol. Overall, the meat is of good quality here and it's worth the $30/person lunchtime price. Would come again!

    Establishment is clean and comfortable. Staff was very professional and attentive. I've been here many times, though this will be the first review I have posted of my visit. This location is a tried-and-true, wont disappoint. Very standard kBBQ location with great quality. Personally I recommend beef belly or tongue at kBBQ locations. As with other AYCE, try for yourself and see which items you like best. Meat quality is all good. Service is quick and responsive. I recommend finishing your meal with the Winnie the Pooh's snack (rice cake with a side of honey). Put it on the grill to get it soft and chewy, then dip in the honey and enjoy! TLDR: Excellent service, great food, great establishment, good value. Would recommend!

    Celebrated birthday for with my kids. The restaurant is busy with lots of sizzling meat cooking. Every table has a grill for each dining party to cook up the meat. The dinner price included ribeye and filet. The dinner menu also had many other cuts. The naming of each item was clever. We polished off many plates of brisket and pork belly. When the restaurant is busy, you will need to be a bit patient with the staff filling the orders.

    Lots of food not a fan of the baby octopus or the shrimp
    Neluta G.

    Get the dinner menu if you go at lunch the quality of the meat and choices of the cuts are better. Filet minion and ribeye are a must. The short ribs were disappointing. Please is understaffed so service was not very good. If you are in the area a must but go hungry because it is a LOT of meat.

    It's All That and a little bit more if you're looking for an All you can eat Korean BBQ score . You know the drill, throw all those tasty fixings on the grill then wait for that delicious thrill. The service could be great good or decent and this time we got good. After all this is in a really decent hood. The atmosphere can be live and especially on the weekends and that's no jive. They have a nice selection of meats and other things but definitely not chicken wings, LoL. The wait can be long for larger parties so I'm telling you to be prepared don't want you to get frustrated and start to swear. Overall it's a popular place but when it comes to the parking it's kinda hard to find a space. And that's my take on this BBQ place, Peace out

    very delicious definitely recommend!

    Great BBQ buffet with fresh meat, tasty sides, friendly service, and great value! very good!

    Maria L.

    Good deal = weekday lunch price for AYCE at $29.99. We got seated right away and noticed the salad and banchans are already on the table. Salad & kimchi didn't seem that fresh anymore and fish cake was a bit hard so we wondered how long it's been exposed out there. We skipped the side dishes and grilled the meats. The meats were ok: nothing to rave/complain about. We noticed they weren't proactive about changing the grill as well. On our way out, we noticed more empty tables with the side dishes and salad already sitting there... There seems to be a new KBBQ in town every other week that's exciting to try so I'm not sure we'll be returning to this one anytime soon.

    Delicious Korean bbque, they even have filet mignon and ribeye. Service is poor, have to call our server several times just to get our order and for refills of the side dishes. Ambiance is great, there's music and great for groups and families as well as date nights.

    What time is last seating?

    I plan to host a party for 10. Will there be a table for 10 or at least 5 each seated side by side? Does this restaurant take reservations for a Monday celebration?

    They do have large tables for a party of 10. No reservations but you can add your name to the list.

    Is this an all you can eat Korean bbq resto?

    Yes...all you can eat

    What time is last call for food on a week day?

    Business hour shows 11 PM, but they do food last call at 9:30 PM when I dined in on Monday night.

    Do I need to make a reservation if I want to come at lunch time? And is it open on Labor Day?

    U can only rock up to make bookings. And yeah they be open on LD

    Is there a waitlist option for today?

    What is the average wait time on Saturday during dinner for a party of 10?

    Honestly I would say about 1.5-2hrs. I'd definitely recommend sending someone to sign you in ahead of time (they only allow you to check-in in person) and have the rest of the party on standby.… 

    Does this menu accommodate vegan?

    This is a Korean style BBQ. Meat is everywhere. I suppose you can order the veggies but the vegan would be smack dab in the middle of raw meat, cooked meat and walk out smelling like a meat campfire.

    A kk k ? Q do

    Ze big poo poo

    Max party size?

    This place is Big. I believe can accommodate at least 150 people. For the exact number of people, call the restaurant and ask.

    I'm going with a large party later in the evening, so I won't be eating. Will they charge me?

    Yes, usually any AYCE will charge people based on party number even if you are not eating. Same thing as not being able to choose different menu options at other places- all parties will need to have the same menu option.

    Can I bring my pet dog to eat in patio?

    Hi, They have outdoor seating area.

    Are they closed for good? Tried calling them and the number is disconnected.

    No. Ate there last week.

    Do you allow single diners for AYCE?

    Yes

    Do they have wait list on yelp? I don't see any waitlist. Do I need to call?

    You have to add yourself in person. Can't do it online.

    Are they open for indoor or outdoor dining?

    Yes they are.

    Is this business still open for sit down ayce dinning during this time In light of the new lockdown ordinances?

    They are open for regular indoor dining.

    Are there gluten free options?

    Meat is gluten free

    Are you allow to order half portion? Because I'm worry of no able to finish full portion.

    Yes you can order half portions. If there's something you wanna try but not sure if you'll enjoy the full portion, then half portions are a good option.

The staff was attentive, and we were pleasantly surprised when they brought out a complimentary bowl of jjajangmyeon. The black bean sauce was smooth and flavorful, and the noodles had a great chewy texture. The banchan were all solid. I especially enjoyed the crunchy cucumbers and the daikon radish, which tasted very fresh. The acorn jelly was another standout with its soft texture. The fish cake was the only side that didn't quite impress me, as it was a little on the dry side. We also ordered the mandu, which had a crispy exterior and a juicy filling. It's an easy appetizer to recommend. For our main dishes, the naengmyeon was light, refreshing, and slightly sweet with just a mild kick of spice. It was a great contrast to the richer dishes on the table. The bossam was another winner. The pork was incredibly tender, and the kimchi and ssamjang served alongside it added just the right amount of heat and acidity to balance the richness of the meat. Overall, this was a really enjoyable meal with attentive service, well-prepared food, and several standout dishes. I'd definitely come back, especially for the bossam and naengmyeon.

The flat glass noodles soak up all that sauce, and the chunks of kabocha squash add a slight sweetness that balances out the spicy, heavy beef. Service is super fast.

If you're looking for a quick group lunch spot where you can split something huge and spicy, it's definitely worth coming here.

While I've noticed some dishes have definitely improved in quality, I can't help but feel that the portions and overall experience don't quite match the rising prices. One major gripe I have is the banchan portion when you order takeout--it's definitely lacking, yet the price remains the same. I get it, this is a premium spot, and part of what you're paying for is the ambiance. But when you're just grabbing food to go and the service feels a bit off, it starts to make me question whether it's worth it. Honestly, I've been feeling like the prices have crept up a bit too much lately, likely due to the landlord hiking the rent. Plus, I've noticed a bit of pressure to finish up quickly, especially when I'm dining solo, which can be a bit off-putting. That said, this is my go-to place when I'm under the weather--I can't get enough of their soups! However, with the rising costs and what you actually get in return, I've found myself stopping by less frequently. It's a bit of a disappointment, as it used to be a staple in our family's dining rotation.
