Big parking lot. We experienced friendly, attentive customer service, didn't even need to use the call button. Nice ambiance, although a casual atmosphere, I love the booth seating. Had such a wonderful dinner w the hubby! We were craving brisket, and opted for the lower tier menu price. Good price and quality. Dipping sauce is addicting. Self serve, all you can eat banchan. The banchan and kimchi soup, corn cheese, pretty solid! My favorite of the self serve fried appetizers were the fried spring rolls. We will definitely be returning here ! More pix next time! Sorry phone was left in the car :D

We celebrated our anniversary the only way true food lovers should: by aggressively grilling meat at Chung Dam Korean BBQ and calling it romance!! *Pro tip: checked in on Yelp, strutted in like VIPs, and only waited five minutes. Five!! That's basically winning the KBBQ lottery. *Parking is plenty, as the restaurant shares a huge lot with other stores. There are 4 menu tiers: Silver: $26.99 Gold: $36.99 Diamond: $58.99 Happy Hour: $21.99 We went Gold because we're loyal to our ride-or-die cuts: kalbi, finger ribs, brisket, and bulgogi. The meat quality? Absolutely fire!!!! The ribs were so tender and juicy every bite was oxytocin high!!! The brisket disappeared at an alarming speed. No regrets!! There's also a self-serve island of sides and garnishes, which is dangerous for someone like me who believes in "just one more scoop." The Korean fried chicken wings were tasty, crispy, criminally good!!! The japchae? Flavorful, slurpable perfection!! We left stuffed, glowing, and completely sated!! Plot twist: we loved it so much we came back the next day because apparently one anniversary dinner wasn't enough. Ryan, our server, remembered us (iconic behavior), welcomed us back, gave solid recs, and actually chatted with us like we were regulars already. Friendly service + elite meat = main character energy for the whole weekend. Would celebrate love & brisket here again!!! Definitely recommend if you're looking for good quality Kbbq in this area!!

This was our first time here bringing some of our friends from NorCal! I was actually trying to go to thirsty cow but the weight was one hour long and here was only five minutes for a Saturday night at 7 PM. Parking is great around the area since most of the other stores are closed. Service was fantastic as everyone was super attentive. I love that you're able to grab your own Banchan and other snacks so it saves the servers time. I'm all about efficiency. Everyone made you feel like home and it was a comfortable, relaxed, environment. Food: - Banchan - Potato was solid, kimchi and cucumbers were great, you can grab your own radishes - Meat - We ordered the diamond and it was nice being able to try everything. Beef belly was delicious. Tongue was tender. King rib was very cool. I've never seen that before. Short ribs were tender. Squid was marinated very nicely. Brisket and Pork jowl were awesome. Overall, we honestly had a great time here. Everything was very efficient and meat came out very fast. For speed and being able to grab all kinds of appetizers and fruit. We thoroughly enjoyed it all. I would definitely come back. 10/10.

We ended up at BBQ Chung Dam because our usual spot was packed. The good: no wait time, self serve bar with lots of options both hot and cold, service was quick, price was fair (happy hour 21.99) restaurant felt clean and spacious. The bad: some of the meat was a little dry and tough such as the brisket and some parts of the bulgogi, they didn't offer rice paper which is my favorite, they don't allow people to eat by themselves and we watched someone get turned away because of it which was a little awkward. Also be warned that if you have lots of leftovers the charge you full price for it so make sure to only order what you would eat. Overall if you're doing happy hour i say it's worth it but i wouldn't pay for their regular or premium menu because i think there's other spots around the area that are better.

I'm stunned I haven't tried this spot all this time! Located in GG, there are so many KBBQ options that you can easily miss this. I'm glad I tried it! My friends and I did the Gold Tier AYCE (~$36.99). We were STUFFED. The self serving area for sides was the best part. Definitely missing some key items I usually order, but it's still enough to keep me satisfied! The meats came out quick, and they were also good. The variety they have is enough for the price, but if you're looking for more then it may be worth for you to upgrade the tier.

My husband and I decided to try this Korean AYCE BBQ after watching Rockstar Eater's YouTube video featuring their LA Koreatown location. After checking their website, we found out that the Garden Grove location is actually the original one, so we decided to visit OC location. Parking was easy, which is always a plus. We visited on a Sunday evening around 7pm. It was busy, but the wait was reasonable and we were seated fairly quickly. This is an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant where you choose a tier- Diamond ($58.99), Gold ($34.99), Brown ($24.99), or Happy Hour ($19.99). We went with the Gold AYCE. Meats are ordered through the server, while side dishes are self-serve in the lobby area (self bar) . The layout is simple, table spacing is comfortable, and getting sides is very straightforward. Since this is the original location, I naturally came in with slightly higher expectations - partly because of the YouTube recommendation and also from friends who had positive experiences in the past. For us, the meat quality was decent and the selection felt a bit limited, but everything was prepared well and enjoyable. Service was a highlight. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to help, which definitely improved the overall experience. Overall, this is a solid AYCE Korean BBQ option in the Garden Grove area. While it didn't completely wow us, we still had a pleasant meal and would consider coming back for a casual BBQ outing.

What can you do with $22 in SoCal? Hmm... a full fast-food combo? Or a quick car wash? Or-- enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet with 40+ options! Chung Dam BBQ's buffet goes above and beyond. Not just veggies, rice, and banchan-- they also have chicken wings, braised pork ribs, kimchi stew, and more And that's not even it! For the $22 happy hour, you get prime cuts like prime beef brisket & prime beef belly But we wanted something more royal, so we upgraded to the Diamond Tier King rib & short rib -- ultra-tender, buttery, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth good Highly recommend this spot for holiday meals or everyday cravings.

The service was good and very attentive. The meat were high quality, and although we could only order 3 at a time, they served large portions, so this was no issue. The side self service bar was great too!

Brisket on the grill and beef belly on the plate. Both were yummy!
Laura H.

Happy hour lunch was $19.99 per person (it's only on Mon-Fri between 11:30am-3pm). Main meats from the kitchen are brisket, beef belly, and pork belly, and they were all good. My favorite of the three was the beef belly, especially since they were fatty and very thinly sliced. I tried honeycombed sliced pork and marinated abomasum from the self-serve bar, too. Sliced pork was tasty, especially dabbed with some salt. Abomasum was a tough chunk of organ meat that was interesting to try, but I wasn't a fan of the sweet, bulgogi-like marinade. Buffet bar had a variety of foods, like potstickers and fried rice. I sampled a braised rib, a sesame ball, and an onion ring to cleanse my palate from all the beef belly I was downing, and they were ok. Nothing made me want to to back for seconds, though. Standard banchan minus the radish paper, but I didn't ask if they had it. Sauces and condiments were provided at our table; it's nice to know that we could top ourselves off whenever. Interior was bright and clean, and thankfully not stuffy or sticky. Waitress was straightforward and helped us get right down to business for meat orders. She was also very attentive about grill changes and clearing away empty plates. We also got individually packaged vanilla ice cream cups after our meal, so that was much appreciated. Plenty of parking in this old Garden Grove plaza. I'd definitely come back for the happy hour lunch.

Roughly $330-$360 for middle option with tips included.

I've been telling my family about this place for years and finally we made plans for dinner to come…read morehere. We got here on Friday night 4/3/26 around 5:30pm. All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

*** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

I usually call in an order for pick it up but I needed to finish up some work before dinner and my family wanted BBQ. I didn't have time to drive over there but noticed they now offer delivery so I downloaded their app. I was having trouble adding an item to my cart so I called to ask for help. After trying to walk me through it without success, Cole just offered to personally drop off the order for me. I was totally thinking I was going to let my family down and have to figure out something else. I was shocked that he even offered because I know they are a small shop and can get busy. I assumed they partnered with door dash or Uber eats for their delivery. The cherry on top was that the food got here faster than if I had used door dash Anyhow, it is rare to experience this kind of hospitality these days and thought they deserved the kudos. Thank you for going above and beyond. Our favorites on the menu are the pulled pork, brisket, sausage and chicken.

Review based on delivery... I think it would have been better fresher…read more The cheesy porker came with a side of slaw, that I put directly on it. Would definitely get this sandwich again.

I didn't realized I have gotten the wrong order until driving home. I call them saying I got the wrong order and if I can get a refund or dispute because I am not going to pay for something I did not want. Upon calling, they asked if I can drive back and return it but I'm already an hour away on the freeway. They took down my name and number and said they'll redeem the same order in my next visit.

He continued to talk loudly and making a statement in front of this whole team and all of them looking like I was in the wrong. Excuse you? Did I ask for a box of bones? Weren't YOU the one that made the mistake? How RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL you are to the people helping your business. Please grow up and deal with situations more professionally.

We went when prices were still like $18.99/each AYCE at night but now I heard it's $23/each, which is understandable but unfortunate for us students. Both times we went, the portions each order was solid and the meat quality was good, better than expected. We ate tons of meat and some of us ordered sides, the wait for the orders weren't too long and the grill was being changed frequently. The staff were nice and the service was relatively quick even when they were busy. One order seemed to be forgotten but another server checked in on us and they went back to make sure everything was proper, which was nice. When I went with my friend, the two of us were challenging each other and we ended up being the very last party to leave. Unfortunately, we ordered more than we could eat due to our competitiveness and it was already past 12 p.m. They decided not to charge us the leftover fee so I tipped more to compensate. Shoutout to the kind staff that watched me try to scarf down the food at the end and seeing a duo last longer than a party of 11 . I recommend going here late at night to try out their, now $23, AYCE from 10 p.m to 12 p.m and note that their last call is 11:30 p.m. Another thing is that you have to sign up on the waitlist via their tablet in-person, so come around 9:15 p.m if you're going with a large party and hit up the H-Mart across while waiting!

Three of us went in around 10:30pm. The other 3 were not seated until 11pm (last call is 11:15) and were all the way across the restaurant. Because of the long ass wait, they had to over order to compensate for the lack of time, which led to left-over fees. When checking out, they told us we would be charged as a group of 6.

Tangy pickled or fermented veggies, sweet pineapple, mushrooms, and soups help cut through all that richness from the fat. The pork and kimchi soup especially hits - it's super comforting and balances out the meal. This is also a great alternative if you're craving BBQ but don't have the stomach space for AYCE. These portions leave us full and satisfied every time. Overall, an amazing spot for a casual, pork-centric feast!

Although they primarily specialize in skewers (including lamb, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and vegetables) there's also main dishes you can order such as dry spicy hot pot, fried rice, and stir fry beef udon. The generally vibe inside probably leans towards large group outings where you order soju or sake with some friends and just have a good time. However, it also a good place to bring family or kids and just enjoying watching the skewers rotate on the grill. The service here was good and the skewers came out pretty quickly. I could see myself coming back here again.
