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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Managing the grill!

Really great K BBQ spot! Only the second one I've ever been to, but based on my prior experience which was also great, this place was a step above. $39.99 all you can eat for dinner seems like a steal when you see the freshness of the ingredients they serve. Our table host was very helpful and made good suggestions for dishes we should try. The only knock is that our grill got really dirty and could've been swapped out, but they were really busy and we definitely could have asked. You know a place is good when patrons are streaming through the front door nonstop. Will definitely be going back!

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

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.

If you're looking for deliciously priced and copious amount of meat, All That is All For You Coworkers and I went here for a nice little dinner, and we had amazing portions alongside the bottles of soju we slurped. I'd recommend starting with the classics, brisket and thinly sliced pork belly before moving to the marinated stuff. Staff was friendly and very attentive, and meats came out quick. Pretty big space inside, but can get pretty packed later at night.

Scorched rice
Melissa P.

The food was not bad for AYCE. Some meats were a little tough like the chadol. We overcooked the galbi but I imagine it would've been good if we hadn't! The marinade was lighter than I am used to but at a AYCE, I get it that they cant marinade for so long. The ribeye was definitely our favorite though. The scorched rice was the biggest disappointment. It was super soggy and not very hot. Service was good! The server was great, and explained to us how to order. It is a big space with many tables. It was busy so there was a lot of noise between people talking and the sound of plates hitting each other from the kitchen. I took away another star because of the noise coming from the kitchen. It would've been nice if the sounds of the plates being stacked up wasn't so loud. For me, for this alone I'd probably not choose to eat here on my own.

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.

I can't remember the last time I've to wait for a table here. It has a large private/party room that can accommodate 50+ people. Service at Asia Buffet is actually quite good. Used bowls and plates are cleaned promptly. Reasonably priced buffet is a good place for someone like my wife who doesn't eat much and enjoys variety. It's good for me in the sense that I can have what I like instead of finishing off leftovers of what she ordered. I usually start with a bowl of hot and sour soup, several types of sushi and seafood.

The seafood boil was probably my favorite- such a good flavor with a kick! Especially loved the corn on the cob. They also have an enormous amount of fresh fruit, cookies, pastries and even ice cream. The service is really good and they are consistently coming by to check on drinks and picking up plates. I really appreciated that. We came on a Sunday around 2pm and it was busy but we had zero wait time for a party of 7. I saw that you can reserve a table if you call ahead. Overall this is a great place if you're looking for all you can eat that tastes good and has a big selection.

A lot of people I trust have raved about it, and I'm glad I gave it a shot. Our server, Leyla, was great. She took orders for 6 people entirely from memory without a single mistake, all while staying kind, attentive, and composed during a busy service. The food was excellent. The tahdig was crispy, and the stews were rich and homemade, easily some of the best I've had. The koobideh kabob was flavorful and cooked very well, and the chicken barg was equally good. For dessert, the faloodeh had a good balance of rose water, and the Persian ice cream was just as good. I really enjoyed everything about this place and will absolutely be back.

Despite a sign saying 'Wait to be seated,' there was no hostess present. After 5 minutes of waiting, a busboy who didn't speak English attempted to seat us without welcoming us. He barely communicated that no seats were available outside, and when I asked what the wait time was, he could not answer. I found the manager, a Persian lady in her 50s, and asked if she could tell me when an outside table would be available. In a surprisingly snarky tone, she snapped in Farsi, 'You're asking me for the impossible, how do I know how long it's going to take for them to be done? Do *you* know how long it's going to take for them to be done?' I was shocked. Obviously, the answer to a question like this is a standard 15 to 25 minutes of wait time, but unfortunately, she chose a much harder and completely unnecessary response pattern. I told her that this is no way to speak with a customer and started to walk away, choosing to take our business to Caspian Restaurant instead. Unbelievably, she then yelled after me, 'Excuse me, I asked you a question, why are you walking away?' to which, of course, I did not respond. I feel everybody should know about this because a restaurant in such an expensive location needs customer service as its foundation to get repeat clients. It's very unfortunate that this happens to restaurants where the owners are silent and hire the wrong managers--managers who can't handle stress well, or who feel their outdated customer support still holds up in 2026. Unless they change their management style and make a visible change, I would strongly discourage anyone from needing to experience the same.

I do have to ding them some point due to the fact that their banchan plate at the salad bar seems sticky and the table too. For $21.99 lunch AYCE, though, I can't complain much. We will definitely come back.
