    Beef Belly
    Jennifer L.

    We came to celebrate my future son-in-law's birthday and had a really fun evening overall. We usually go to the Arden location, but since it's closed right now, we decided to try this one,and I'm glad we did. The sides were a standout,everything was fresh and flavorful. The fish cake was especially fresh, and the miso soup was absolutely wonderful,comforting and perfectly balanced. The fried rice, unfortunately, missed the mark for me. It felt more like plain white rice with peas and corn mixed in, rather than a true fried rice dish. That said, the pork belly more than made up for it,it was delicious, well-cooked, and full of flavor. Definitely don't skip the cheese corn and dumplings, they were highlights of the meal. And all of the beef options we tried were excellent,tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The birthday dessert was wonderful and such a nice touch to celebrate the occasion.I loved the spinning reward, which made the experience even more fun and interactive. Overall, a great atmosphere, fun experience, and strong food highlights. We'll definitely be back!

    As a big fan of the OG Howe location, our longings for Blue House were hitting hard with the prolonged remodeling of the original location. We went to Blue House Roseville for a celebration, and were hoping it would be as good as the OG. For the most part, it hits the spot. If you're a fan of the taste of Blue House, you'll feel right at home here. There were some things of note that were of interest to us that differed from the OG. The ventilation isn't as good. It's definitely more smoky; not only is it visibly more smoky, the smell definitely lingers more at this location onto your clothing. This place is smaller and can't handle as much traffic. Just something to note for large parties or those wanting to go on days that are probably more busy. The ordering process at least for us was old school. Unlike their other locations that use tablets, it was paper and pad. This led to some mistakes in our orders. Additionally, it took a while between rounds for wait staff to get back to us. This also was reflected in drink refills. The kitchen felt it was a little slower than other places, so it compounded into longer waits. If they fixed the wait times between rounds, it would have made a much better experience.

    Came in for dinner and had a really great experience overall. The food was just as good as I expected and everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. I did notice this location is a bit smaller than the other one, and the selection of side dishes is a little different too, but it didn't take away from the experience at all. It actually felt a little more low key. The variety of banchan here was a bit different compared to the other location I've been to, but everything we tried was still really good. It was nice getting to try a few new things, and everything paired perfectly with the meat coming off the grill. Huge shoutout to our server Erica!! she was amazing all night. Super attentive, always checking in at the right time, and made sure we never had to ask for anything twice. She really made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Definitely would come back again, especially knowing we'll be taken care of like that.

    The food was on point and the music was fire. Nghia was off the chart!!! He made the experience . Coming back soon

    Slushy Soju Cocktail "Seow Mate"

    Came here on a weekday. Not too busy during dinnertime but when it does get busy, there's not much room for waiting inside so be prepared to hang around outside if you're waiting in line. Lots of parking. The interior is well lit and great for a catchup dinner with friends or even going to eat after work on a weekday. It's a bit more casual than some other KBBQ places which I enjoyed. I tried Option B on the AYCE menu, only thanks to my server's recommendation and I'm so glad I did! I was expecting to only try the A option but after talking to the staff, I was completely convinced!! Service can be okay depending on when you go. The night I went, I was blessed to get Koby as my server. He was extremely welcoming, and really took the time to educate my group about the different options and meats. We had a million questions and he was warm and friendly through it all! He was super quick and handled all of my table's needs. He really took "Make a customer, not a sale" to heart. If you can get Kobe as your server, do it! Your table will have the most fun time. You get the basic sauces right away (salt and sesame oil with a side of Gosu sauce). I usually get lots of kimchi and lettuce wraps to pair with my meats but you can also get rice if you're feeling it. I love the little taiyaki ice cream but sometimes the ice cream does come a litter freezer burnt. I wish there was another taiyaki piece to balance out the ice cream to taiyaki ratio. This is a KBBQ place after all but that's something that I noticed if you're looking to get dessert here at the same time. They have several soju flavors to try and a special Valentines Soju Cocktail Slushy as well. It was sweet and refreshing but I don't think I would reach for it again unless I was really in the mood for a sweet treat. It wasn't too strong either. Shoutout to one of the workers (I think his name was Alex?) for recommending the drink to me. He looked so focused working, I honestly felt bad for interrupting him but his hospitality was incredible and he was wonderful explaining the different drink options for my table. Where does a restaurant find such amazing talent for servers?! I would have given 3 stars but honestly, the two servers from that night brought my review up to 4 stars. Overall, Blue House is a great casual hangout place after work but maybe not for super big special events. I enjoyed my time there and will come back with my friends. Thank you Blue House!

    We came on a Saturday right when they opened so it was empty. Even as we dined, it was empty and a few parties did not trickle in until the end of our dining experience. This was my first time at this location. I have previously dined at their Sacramento location years ago, which is now temporarily closed. Service was great. A shout out to EJ for being so attentive that we didn't even need to use the service button. Also how cool is it to have a service button on the wall at your table that you can press! I've never seen that at any restaurant and thought it was nifty. We chose the lower tier option which still has a TON of different meat and appetizer options. I enjoyed the galbi and my sister enjoyed the spicy bulgogi. They also give you cubes of meat fat as a way to grease the grill before laying down the meats, which is a nice touch as well. We got the fries, jjangmyeon, and steamed egg as appetizers. The fries weren't the best and could probably use a couple more minutes in the fryer. The jjangmyeon was disappointing. I've never tried it before but it looked like regular ramen noodles to me. I wish we had more room to try more appetizers! Overall a good experience!

    Food is 5 stars, I've been coming here for years and really enjoy all the selections they have on the option A. The reason for the bad review is because of the new tablet they have at the table. You order through there instead of through a server. Kills the customer service and interactions so that's a 1 star... next the system didn't even get my order right. Order multiple things that didn't come and wrong quantities when it did go through. Please get rid of this!! Then you will get 5 stars all day. Hate to even post this review tbh

    Dining area and bar

    This was by far one of the worst steakhouse experiences I've ever had. I waited about 15 minutes just to get a fork. I was told multiple times that they would bring one, but no one ever did. There were no napkins on the table, my water was empty, and I wanted to order another drink, but no one came to check on our table for about 20 minutes. The service was extremely disappointing and inattentive. As someone who also works in the restaurant industry, I understand that restaurants can get busy, but basic service and checking on your guests should never be ignored. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place. Save your time and money and spend it somewhere else. Out of all the steakhouses I've been to, this was easily the worst experience.

    About $70 difference between total check amount and what was charged

    Came Blue House for AYCE dinner for a friends birthday and the service was beyond terrible. We had ordered multiples of the same item and only received one each time. This was for both the meats and appetizers. The excuse was that there was a "language" barrier of the cook which I think ridiculous given that there numbers indicating how many servings we requested. So we had to wait the 10 minute minimum to order more. The food took forever to come out and the excuse there was there is only 1 cook in the back. The restaurant was full so I don't why management would have a full restaurant with only 1 cook... And the cherry on top was that our bill came out to a total of $258ish (with tax) but our card was charged for $331. That's about a $70 difference. There wasn't an itemized reason why were charged that much!! Of course they reversed it but I caution everybody who comes here to check their bill before paying!

    Had the best experience at Blue House on Thursday! My friends and I usually go to the Arden location because it's closer, but since they were closed we decided to drive the extra miles to the Roseville location to celebrate a birthday. We've never been to the Roseville location and were surprised to see how upgraded it was compared to Arden lol. We were seated immediately with no wait time (but then again, we were there on a Thursday night). It did get busy throughout the night, so I would expect a wait if you're coming later during dinner time or if you have a big group, and I suspect the weekends are even more busy. The service here is amazing, our server checked in on us frequently and always offered to change our grill. We noticed that compared to the Arden location, our server here literally never forgot to put in our orders and everything came out really fast, which we appreciated. We happened to come the night that the general manager, Eric, worked and he came by our table and had a great chat with us. He ended up surprising our table with complimentary tiger prawns which he cooked for us, some mango bingsu with mochi, and a coupon for my friend's birthday. We weren't expecting ANY of this, so it was quite a treat and made the drive out there so worth it. We loved this location and can't wait to be back soon

    Quite literally the best food i've had in a long long time! This place is not just amazing, it deserves all the stars possible! Very affordable for a dine in place nowadays also has lunch specials 11-3pm.! Our server on wednesday evening was just amazing, top notch service and they make sure to make every person happy despite being so busy! This was my first time trying them, and i'm so surprised on how much i like it!! The kimchi was so delicious, and the meat even better. Sesame chicken got me on a choke hold now!! i will not stop telling people about this place!

    Spicy Noodles and grill

    Great food and great service. We went on a saturday at dinner, surprisingly there was no wait. We did all you can eat for 2 adults and a kid. It was great, all the servers were super helpful and efficient. You can order from a tablet every 10 minutes, which i enjoyed because you didn't have to wait for a server to come around. it also had pictures of all the items which was helpful as somebody who rarely eats this cuisine. The manager was amazing, he was wandering around the restaurant checking in, he noticed our table was burning fast so he replaced the meat & burner for us. he helped us cook the meats to perfection, and made suggestions of which were the best choices! After helping us, he was helping another table pour shots and drinks! For korean bbq it was about average, $40 per person with the option to order 12 rounds of meat (if you order every 10 minutes for your full 2 gours) 10/10 would reccomend coming here if your looking for korean bbq!

    Diana F.

    Tried their AYCE option "A" for $38/pp which included a variety of beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and all the appetizers. Option "B" had a few extras but didn't think it was worth it. It's a standard Korean bbq place. The star was definitely the meats. The appetizers were fine, but you'd end up getting filled on those and those were mid. Props to the servers walking around replacing the grills. That alone is 5 stars. Definitely recommend. 10/10.

    Blue House Korean BBQ Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Blue House Korean BBQ

    All you can eat?

    Yes, it is all you can eat.

    When is kids eat free?

    Wednesdays!

    Hi, I'm in search of finding a Korean BBQ place that allows solo AYCE. Can you accommodate single person? Thanks

    None of the AYCE KBBQ restaurants in Sacramento require a minimum number of people.

    How come the cheese corn isn't cook before bring it out anymore?

    Hello Justin, thank you for submitting a question. Cheese corn is one of our favorite and most popular item. We’ve learned from our randomized sampling surveys on corn… 

    Are they doing dine in?

    Yes they are. We just dined in on Wednesday evening

    How much does the dinner All You Can Eat cost?

    I may be wrong but I think it's like $27 and $36. The higher one obviously with more meat choices and more seafood.

    Is this all you can eat?

    Yep

    Does this location have steamed egg?

    Yes they do! I didn't get to try it though. You can order only 2 sides at a time and I didn't get the chance

    Has anyone had the fried chicken? Care to comment?

    Sorry, we didn't order the fried chicken.

    How long does it take to get in and out during lunch? Looking for it to be less than 2 hours to make other appointments in the afternoon.

    We went on a weekend lunchtime and it wasnt too busy so it depends. You can make reservations, so I would recommend it, if u can. Our entire experience lasted at least an hour. I would leave 30-45 min between your appointments, depending on distance.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes, I know they do on weekends but not sure about every day

    Can you please compare Blue House to the prior restaurant Iron Gate?

    Hands down better than the old restaurant that was in the same place before.

    Does this location have halal meat?

    Perhaps you should contact the restaurant directly. They certainly do not advertise that any of their dishes are halal or kosher.

    Does this location have All You Can Eat?

    They don't have all you can eat but the portions are really big. We got the $59 meat plate for five adults and had tons of leftovers.

    Came here with the family for lunch on a weekday. We were seated right away without any issues…read more The place is very big with lots of seating. My sister said it gets very busy at dinner time and the wait time can be over an hour. For lunch, it was quite a good deal. AYCE Hotpot, sushi and BBQ for about $30. If you only choose one of the AYCE options, it is about $25 but seems worth it to get the all 3 combo for $30. It does seem that everybody at the table has to choose the same option. Hot pot - You each get your own individual hot pot. There had a pretty good variety of broth flavors to choose from. There is a menu that you can order the meat from. There were 5 of us and we were told we can order 4 meats to share per round. There is a separate area for to grab a tray/bowl and choose your veggies. All in all, I enjoyed the Tonkatsu broth and like the variety of meats and veggies available. Korean BBQ - A bit different in that you do not order at the table. There is an area with small trays of meat available for you to grab and bring back to your table. Good variety. Pork Jowl was my favorite and it's not as common. The only issue is that if your party doesn't communicate, you some how end up grabbing all of the same items! So discuss amongst yourselves or else it might be an overkill. Didn't try the sushi simply because I had some good quality sushi the night before so no need for buffet style sushi. The staff was VERY friendly and efficient. They came by often to check on us, take away dirty plates and to change the grill. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot.

    i don't usually have high expectations for restaurants that serve such a wide variety of items…read more.. but i was recommended ktown by several people, so i gave it a try. it wasn't very busy when we came on a friday night. the interior was decorated with neon lights, and it was spacious. i thought the seats and table felt a bit sticky, and the rest of the restaurant didn't feel too clean either. we were seated quickly, and service was friendly. our server explained the menu - essentially, the soups and meats for hot pot could be ordered off the menu, and everything else could be grabbed at the bar. there were a lot of options, and i was excited to try everything. i ordered the szechuan mala broth, which i thought was so mediocre. it was pretty spicy but otherwise bland, like there wasn't any real flavor. i usually like to drink my hot pot broth, but i didn't think it was good enough to sip a lot of. the thai tom yum was a better soup, but it still wasn't super flavorful. it tasted like a watered down tom yum - not super tangy. i also typically like to dip my meats in sauce, and ktown offered a sauce bar with all of the basics, including sesame sauce, soy sauce, ponzu, cilantro, garlic, and other things. there were also sauces for kbbq here, like brisket sauce. there was a lot of variety for meat options, but they were all just a lot thicker and tougher than i expected. our server explained that the ones on the menu were really just for hot pot, but we used some of them for kbbq anyway because we wanted more unmarinated meats. most of the meats at the bar were marinated. i would recommend avoiding this with the beef tongue. it was so thick and extremely chewy, although it was better when cooked in the hot pot broth. the beef belly is usually my favorite cut, but it was also chewy. the black angus brisket was okay; it was on the tougher and drier side. the us kobe beef was my favorite cut of beef because it was the least chewy. the pork shoulder and pork belly were also just okay; i liked that the pork belly was a thinner cut. i probably enjoyed it the most. the australian wagyu was just too dry. the new zealand lamb was right there with the beef tongue as the worst cut because again, it was very chewy, even in the hot pot broth... the broth kind of masked the texture of the meats, but it was so bland that i needed a lot of sauce. at the bar, there was a variety of seafood for the hot pot, including clams, mussels, fish, shrimp, and crawfish. they also offered a good selection of vegetables, like enoki mushrooms, peppers, cabbage, spinach, and onions. there were also quail eggs, roe pockets, fish balls, and dumplings, among other things. there were a lot of meats at the bar for kbbq, but they weren't labeled nor set out in any particular pattern. the spicy pork bulgogi was overmarinated, but it was one of my favorites (of the meats on the menu and the ones set out) because the sauce masked the low quality of meat. it was the typical korean spicy pork marinade - not too spicy and slightly sweet. we also tried the bulgogi, and it was also typical - sweet as expected. they set out thicker cuts of pork belly here, which were super heavy and fatty. almost all of the meats were marinated in some kind of sauce. there were some steaks that were just seasoned with salt and pepper, but they were so tough. there were a lot of other appetizers and hot dishes too, although everything looked like it was left out for a while. i saw kimchi, beansprout salads, cold potato salads, cucumbers, seaweed salads, fried dumplings, tempura, and some other things. i tried the wings, which were plain and kind of dry, and the skin wasn't crispy anymore. the japchae was okay, but there wasn't a lot of flavor. there were some mussels that were covered in cheese and a creamy sauce, which made them pretty heavy. the seafood boil was lukewarm, but the seasoning was okay. it was just a little oily. i did enjoy their corn cheese, which we heated up ourselves over the kbbq grill. i liked that it was slightly sweet. on the side of the bar, there was a variety of nigiri, sashimi, and sushi rolls - all poor quality. the salmon nigiri and sashimi weren't tender nor soft, and neither were the tuna or yellowtail. they were kind of mushy and slightly rubbery. the rolls were better, although they were almost all variations of california rolls doused in sauce - most of them had spicy mayo and a sweet glaze. the sauce at least masked the quality of the fish. overall, ktown was a jack of all trades and master of none. while i was impressed by the extensive variety of options, i got full very quickly because the quality of food wasn't the best. if someone ever needed a restaurant with options for everyone, then i might suggest ktown, but i wouldn't really be able to say i liked the hot pot, sushi, or kbbq. since i would rather have tasty food over lots of options, i wouldn't come back.

    I don't know if the people that work here are Christian, Catholic, any other Faith, or just really…read morenice people. We came as a group. One dude in our group has housing issues and has rare or nearly no access to water, including drinking water. He filled up all his containers of water and we had to ask for like 1,000 refills of their water containers. He also ate the "extra dishes" / seasoning dishes like a buffet. Once he found out this was free and the staff was refilling his water / giving full water containers, he went to town. Anyway, you know there's a lot of homeless in Sacramento. The staff could have said stuff under their breath (is that the expression?) They could have asked us to leave. They could have charged us for the extras. They could have made us wait forever to get more water etc. No. The staff didn't do that. They treated our sort of homeless friend that came in to collect water and try to eat food to keep him alive for the next year - they treated him like family. I was so tired I forgot and didn't ask any names of the staff. But I just wanted to give 5 stars and thank this restaurant that they were patient and kind to "whatever you call" my dude friend and what he did. Not sure how he got connected to the two ladies I treated to dinner. But it's like having to also invite "that brother" when you invite a family out. Yeah, he had to tag along. I'm sure all their 5 stars make it clear their food is great and all that. They work hard and fast. But this review is also to point out they treated near-homeless-dude that has water access issues so kindly.

When I was visiting my brother last month, we went to go eat at Seoul Zip. It is a great spot for Korean food! They have a great variety of options, from galbi to naengmyun to soondae gook. Everything we tried was delicious. It's nice to find a place with such a wide selection of Korean dishes. And they give you lots of banchan! Definitely worth checking out if you're craving Korean food. Will definitely be coming back next time we are visiting.

Try all the flavors they offer, you're guaranteed to find a favorite. I've ordered bone in and boneless chicken and both are moist, juicy and large portion. Crispy padak (lightly sauced and piled with green onion) and yangnyeom (sticky savory sweet chili) are my favorites. My brothers favorites were the regular crispy and honey butter which to me is reminiscent of kettle corn. We also enjoyed their veggie japchae ($13), kimchi fried rice ($7), and beef gimbap ($10). Their chicken combo meals are a great bargain starting at $14. I usually have leftovers when I get that. Staff at this branch are very nice, politely answered my questions and the restaurant itself is tidy. Building is tucked away in a tiny plaza next to the tokyo cream shop. You can pre order to go using their website. There's more to their menu than fried chicken so I will be returning to try more soon.

The chicken was perfectly crispy, moist inside, and sauced but not drenched. 5 stars. The japchae was inedible. It was a soup of sauce making the noodles overly salty. The noodles didn't taste fully cooked either. I mentioned this to the cashier on my way out. She offered to make it better next time... unfortunately I do not live around here so likely won't be back anytime soon.

Today's mission: find something fast, affordable, and satisfying...and WOW did they deliver. I was craving a solid bibimbap, and this one hit all the right notes. We're talking savory bulgogi beef, fresh veggies, fluffy rice, and that perfectly fried egg on top. Mix it all together, drizzle on their spicy sauce, and boom...flavor explosion! Oh, and it comes with miso soup? Say less. Full, happy, and back to work in no time. Now let's talk sushi... because they're not playing around here. Ever been somewhere that loads up the rice and skimps on the good stuff? Yeah, not here. These rolls are PACKED with filling and just the right amount of rice...finally, the balance we deserve. And if you're feeling indecisive, they've got plates stacked with all the goodies...teriyaki chicken, spicy pork, beef, salmon... basically a choose your own adventure of deliciousness. But the real MVP? That teriyaki sauce. Listen... they sell it in bottles. Do yourself a favor and grab one because there's definitely something magical going on in there. I'm not saying it's addictive... but I'm also not not saying that. So if you're anywhere near Roseville and stuck on the "what should I eat?" struggle....lunch or dinner...just go. Trust me. Your taste buds will thank you later.

Today we came to celebrate my son's birthday with a party of seven, and unfortunately the service was noticeably worse than any of our previous visits. It was slow to get our order taken, refills were rarely offered, and overall our server just seemed inattentive and uninterested. I had already decided I was going to leave a smaller tip because of the service, but when the bill arrived, I noticed that gratuity is automatically added for parties of six or more. That honestly made the experience even more frustrating. I really dislike automatic-gratuity policies like this because there's no longer much incentive for the server to provide great service, the tip is guaranteed regardless. Maybe that wasn't the reason for the poor service today, but it certainly felt that way. Great food as always, but for a birthday dinner with a larger party, the service was really disappointing.
