Back Street BBQ is a great place if you are looking for Korean BBQ and/or Hotpot in the Lower East Side of Milwaukee. They have plenty of seating so you can walk-in without a reservation. We got the hotpot and they had the standard appetizers which tasted decent and quite a few options of meat and vegetables to choose from. They also had some desert options which were alright but nothing too different from other chain hotpot restaurants. The broth flavors were good but a little thinner than what I am used to. Service was quick and efficient. Overall a good place to go to if you are craving hotpot or BBQ.

The service and seating was really good. They were fast and explained the soups. The meat options were good but I thought it was limited compared to other hotpot places in the suburbs. The soups could've had more options as well, it didn't seem that flavorful so had to use sauces to get the meat to taste better. Ambiance is nice and they have plenty of seating.

All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ + Hotpot combo (your whole table has to agree to do both!) For BBQ we got LOTS of bulgogi beef, ribeye, garlic shrimp, & chicken dumplings, we even tossed some of the hotpot meat on the grill For hotpot we did instant ramen, udon noodles, spicy beef, marinated beef, & chicken dumplings (SO good in the broth ). The spicy broth had the perfect kick! Also tried their chicken wings: just okay but worth a try. Overall, hotpot was a solid first-time experience 4/5 Still love Iron Age in IL more, but this spot definitely hit the spot. Heads up: sauce station costs extra, so we skipped that part ‍ & left with a bunch of the green tea candy they give you at the end! Super friendly staff who always come to change your grill & make the experience pleasant!

Had an awesome time doing Hot pot and Korean barbecue. Plenty of options and great service. Food came pretty fast and was fresh. They did a good job of switching out our grill when it got burnt. Well ventilated and the place was decorated really beautifully. We're gladly come back.

Hot pot and K-BBQ

Such a cool place for hot pot and K-BBQ. Great service fast and friendly service! Very authentic decor and sauce station was A-1 they had everything! You did not have to wait long for the next round of meats/order. Must try!

The hot pot is amazing. We've been here for bbq before as well. It's a lot of the same items so it's also good. I just personally don't like having to wait for everything to cook as hot pot is much faster. The sauce bar is great to be able to make things unique to your taste. Staff is extremely attentive and it's a great value for the price.

Korean BBQ

We stopped by a Friday night and were seated right away! Our server was kind and welcoming and explained the different options they offered. The Korean BBQ was great however I wish the meat was sliced thinner because it took forever to cook. They have a small sauce bar which was also nice! Good value for what you get!

Somewhat overwhelming, but in a good way? An all you can eat Korean BBQ and hotpot joint with no shortage of options to choose from, our night at Back Street BBQ was one I won't soon forget. The ambiance is cozy and the staff was incredible, anticipating our every need and keeping our grill and hot pot well-stocked. Makes for a fun night out with a group or could be a unique dining option for couples looking to try someplace new.

What can I say about Todd? I love their wings, tenders, rice cakes AND their katsu. It hits all the…read moreflavor and texture profiles I usually want and they are really quick about cooking the food to order. The staff is always very nice and if they are busy for some reason, they even have kiosks to order from as well. I'm Korean and love me some Korean fried chicken wings, but going here means I do not have to make them, make a mess in my kitchen, or have to spend time prepping everything beforehand. Yes, I know these are Karaage but they are very similar. I usually get the boneless wings just because I am weird and do not like having sticky fingers when I am eating, so these I can eat with a fork. The crispiness is always spot-on and I love that they give you just enough sauce to give everything a good coat and flavor but not too much that the chicken is drowning. I also really love the rice cakes that they add into the tenders and wings, it's like a nice little chewy treat to go with everything. Their fries are a LOT of fries! My wife and I have learned we can share one order of them. They have a bunch of varieties of seasonings you can add to the fries but I tend to get mine plain and just eat it with ketchup. I love coming here and their little outdoor patio is great when I want to bring my pup or just enjoy the nice fresh air as we eat our meal.

We love this spot! The food is always fried to perfection and crispy. The staff are always kind and…read morethe little restaurant always has great music playing. This time we noticed they had a covered/heated patio seating area which was great for the chilly day but we got two barstools inside. We originally found this spot when looking for yummy fries but ended up finding a new bay view fave! Looking forward to returning!
