    WORST KBBQ EVER. Staff was friendly, but extremely slow and not attentive. We had to follow up on each of our orders due to either receiving the wrong item or never getting the order altogether, causing us to wait constantly. The burner also shut off 3 different times, one time by our waiter but other times randomly which added to more wasted time. Out of the 2 hour time limit, Id estimate less than half that time was actually dedicated to eating. We were waiting & following up for majority of the dinner. The food was below subpar quality. My family couldnt eat the "premium beef" it "angus brisket" because it was so dry/tough. Seafood tofu soup lacked flavor and steamed egg was watery. The list goes on but most of the items were gross. I hardly ate because nothing tasted good. The most consistent item was the sliced garlic. Lastly, they shouldve installed directly fans above each table but they have the fans high in the ceiling, making the air smoky and the place extra loud. Heavily disappointed as I heard good things about this chain. Save your money and go anywhere else.

    We came here for dinner and had a great experience. The restaurant is very spacious, with dedicated areas for karaoke and larger group gatherings. During dinner service, Option A offers an excellent selection of appetizers and meats. Our favorites were the soy garlic beef belly, butter shrimp, and LA galbi--we ended up ordering those every round. The spicy Korean ramen was also tasty. The service was outstanding as well. Everything we ordered arrived promptly, and our server was friendly, attentive, and happy to accommodate additional requests throughout the meal. Overall, it was a good dining experience, and we'd definitely come back if we were in the area and want bbq.

    Had dinner here last night. The restaurant is super spacious with an abundance of seating! Booths and tables everywhere it's actually pretty neat and esthetic looking. It's an ayce Korean bbq. I love that concept lol. There were an array of bonchon they start you with and then you pick the menu you would like to dine. We picked the A menu.. it included a lot of good stuff. Service was awesome. Our waitress was very attentive. She made sure that when our orders came out to come check and place the next order right away and our grill was constantly replaced as it would char up. Everything I ate was delicious. My fav meat was the soy garlic beef belly and I love the butter shrimp .. all dipped in their pineapple sauce they have on the menu as well. Overall I would definitely be back when craving Korean bbq

    We did it, and completed the trifecta. We got to visit all three of the Blue House locations. Pre-completion of the renovation of the OG location, so this one is easily the most modern and nicest of the three so far. More open feeling setting, and some cool features like the karaoke room for reservation and elevated middle section. Blue House did a good job with the design. I enjoyed the vibes, and the staff really was great. Constantly checking in, making sure we were good or ready for a next round, and more made this experience great. Blue House tasted solid, and I would absolutely make a return trip if wanting KBBQ in Vacaville.

    I've been to other locations for blue house before and always enjoyed my visits. This Vacaville location is a first visit for me and it's roomier and better airflow I felt. The server was really great sorry I wasn't ordering much my table mates did that and I didn't get her name but she was great. The food we always enjoy the garlic soy beef belly, boneless Galbi, and a bunch of other selections. We usually stick with beef but we do like their banchan selections. Spicy ramen is pretty common ramen but the way they cooked it was solid, some people put way too much water to cook. The potato is great, the pickled daikon is a must and broccoli is a solid choice too. The server gave us a bunch of refilled for these. The only drawback this time for me was the chicken wings. Plain really meant plain, no salt or any flavorings. The wings weren't freshly fried so they were rubbery and room temp. I think fresh with some Cajun seasoning maybe would be a hit . If I'm in Vacaville and craving Korean bbq I'd for sure revisit.

    Saying I love korean bbq is an understatement. So when I found out this is where we were going for my bachelorette party dinner I was ecstatic. I wanted to order so much but I got so full. The food is so good and the place feels intimate for being so open. The pork belly is by bar my absolute favorite, and not pictured is a cherry blossom type of drink that they gave us and oh my goodness if I could remember what it was called, I would order it every time I go. The service was so fast and I love the little robot that brings us our meat.

    Writing this review for an experience my family and I had on Mother's Day. I believe this was not anyone's fault, but rather a tech glitch. However, I believe the situation was poorly handled. Living an hour away from Blue House, I added myself on the Yelp waitlist for a party of 7. I told my brother to also join the waitlist just in case. When we got to the restaurant, we just waited outside since our "expected time" still says 20 min. However, I noticed that the expected time was not moving. So I went inside to talk to the host and ask about our wait. The host then asked if I have a reservation, and I mentioned joining the waitlist. I even pointed at their iPad where I see my name. He was puzzled because apparently, I am not supposed to be able to make a reservation or join the waitlist today since they are fully booked. He said that unfortunately, they will not be able to accommodate us because they are fully booked. He proceeded by removing my name off the waitlist and telling us to wait 3 hours for our seat. I asked him about the Yelp waitlist on their iPad. "Are you just going to ignore that?" but he didn't bother answering. I understand that this is frustrating on his end too, especially on an extremely busy day, but it just sucks to have driven an hour for our name to be removed from the waitlist without having a proper explanation whatsoever. I went back to the car and my brother, who have joined the waitlist too, was next in line on the "Yelp waitlist". He went inside and the host said the same thing, but before the host was able to proceed in removing my brother's name, my brother asked for the manager. (we never do this - this is probably the first time ever). The host quickly talked to his manager and the manager was able to accommodate us a table right at the moment. After all of that chaos, the rest of our experience was extremely pleasant. Our server was fantastic. Everyone assisting the tables, whether it was the staff bringing the food or the grill changers, were amazing. Food was great of course - never have disappointed from the handful of times my family and I have visited. The host definitely deserves a 1 star, but our actual dining experience was an easy 5 star rating.

    Good Korean barbecue and good drinks! Went here for the first time and was so pleasantly surprised. Been to a couple KBBQ and this was just as good as a lot of places! It is a little more on the pricier side though so keep that in mind. You do get a lot of options for the price but depending on the option you choose it can be pricey With that being said the quality of the meet and food overall was very good! And they have proper steaks which I don't see often at KBBQ. The short rib was well marinated and had a lot of flavor and the appetizers were very good like the fried chicken! The side salad had a great sauce over it and all the kimchi dishes were great! They offer a pretty customizable drink menu, if that's something you're interested in, the slushie options is nice and refreshing for a hot summer day! Along with refreshing flavors! The restaurant itself is pretty big and has a really cool interior! They have a full bar in the entrance and lots of seating further in! They have robots that bring you your drinks and/or whatever you order like meats and such! Super cool The staff is very nice and our waiter was really attentive and on top of it for getting more orders in! All in all pretty unique kbbq and fun experience Good food! Good drinks! Nice people! Definitely worth checking out

    We came in on a Friday evening around 5:30pm with a party of 7 to celebrate 3 May birthdays. We had a reservation for 5:30, but we still had to wait about 15 minutes for the staff to set up a table as we were considered a large group. For AYCE Korean BBQ, there are 3 choices: A ($38/adult), B ($48/adult) or C ($108/adult). We chose option B which had plenty of choices to eat as it also includes all the option A items. They were having a Cinco de Mayo drink deal where a handful of their alcoholic drinks were 1/2 off today (May 1 to May 5). I got the Mangolicious alcoholic drink which is inspired by the Mexican mangonada. They drinks were not too strong, but they were 1/2 off. They have a 2 hour eating limit, but I don't think they are strict about enforcing that unless you really stay there much longer. There is an automatic 18% gratuity added to your bill for parties 7 or more. Our server was pretty attentive overall. In Vacaville/Fairfield area, Blue House Korean BBQ is one of the better AYCE restaurant, but there are better Korean BBQ restaurants in Sacramento and the East Bay. In the past for birthdays, they would let you spin the birthday wheel, but they didn't offer that to us. The server did offer to give the 3 birthday celebrants a hefty slice of cheesecake each which was nice. If you are a big eater, meat lover and enjoy Korean BBQ, give Blue House a try.

    Took a quick parents brunch date before picking up the kids from school and came when they just open. Quick and easy. Princess was a awesome server. Got our meats hella quick so we were able to go in and out with our bellies full! Love they are festive inside including the robot with the Christmas hat and Christmas songs just gives all the holiday vibes.

    Came in for lunch with two of friends. We were seated immediately by the host who was nice and welcoming. The floor plan offered different seating space including private rooms including a few room that offered kareoke :) Price per person was decent. The menu offers an upgrade for a higher price tag. $30 to $100 per person Our server Omar was excellent, attentive despite the many table he was servicing to and pure pleasant at each encounter. We liked his professionalism and service with a smile. Items we ordered came out fast Seafood soup could have used more seafood but overall great experience. Will come again.

    Pretty good Kbbq! Went for my niece's 100 days celebration and they set us up in their private party room. Spacious space with attentive service and an impressive menu. I did option A and got several tasty cuts of meats including brisket, short ribs, chicken with some cheesy corn ramen, veggie bibimbap, egg rolls. A few gaps- the miso soup was overly salty, fried chicken wasn't that good but to be fair, you don't really come for that. Wish they had the vent tubes over each grill like in the Kbbq in Korea! You will def leave smelling like bbq- make sure you wear clothes you plan to wash right away and take a shower after!

    Had a great experience at Blue House Korean BBQ. The quality of the food was really good and everything tasted fresh. I also loved the setup of the inside -- it's a really nice space, even though I forgot to grab a photo. Service was pretty good, and they even have robot servers on the main floor which was pretty cool to see. For the price, it felt very reasonable for what you get. Overall I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.

The beet salad was also delicious, and major appreciation to the kitchen for thoughtfully splitting it into four equal plates for sharing. Small touch, big hospitality points. The lemon ricotta pancake was the one slight miss for me. The powdered sugar ended up being the main character, overpowering some of the balance and richness I was hoping for. The fish tacos, however, completely redeemed things. Flavorful, fresh, and made even better by our incredibly thoughtful waitress, who had the kitchen prepare four tacos for sharing instead of the usual three. Those little gestures really elevate the experience. But the true standout of the meal? The Back Door Berry Bramble. Pure bliss in a glass. Made with seasonal local fruit purée, lime, grapefruit, orange liqueur, and vodka, this cocktail absolutely knocked it out of the park -- bright, refreshing!!!

We were seated immediately, which I always appreciate. The space is pretty big with a modern feel, and there's plenty of parking out front (no circling the lot like a hawk -- love that). Even though they gave us the lunch menu, we went à la carte. Ordered: tandoori chicken, butter chicken, coconut shrimp, butter naan, and rice -- all medium spice where applicable. The tandoori chicken was tender and well seasoned -- no dry chicken nonsense here. The butter chicken was exactly what you want it to be: rich, creamy, tomato-forward, and comforting. But the one that caught me off guard a bit was the coconut shrimp -- creamy, slightly sweet, and a little more mild than "medium" heat, probably because of the coconut milk, but still really good. And listen... the butter naan? Fresh, warm, and absolutely necessary. Both the butter chicken and coconut shrimp were made for dipping. No shame in wiping those plates clean. Service was great. Staff was kind, checked in on us without hovering, and kept our water filled without us needing to flag anyone down. Overall -- easy, enjoyable lunch. Good food, good service, no complaints.

First before being seated we were approached by a female server who was angry we were seated at her table to enjoy waters before being taken downstairs to the show. She told us we're r not allowed to sit there even though the host placed us there. A whole thing... we moved for her. I was there for my birthday, husband Venmo 20$ to play two songs and do a shout out ( owner attacks me in my original review insinuating that I am an entitled princess demanding a happy bday song ( which I didn't request) and that we stormed out after an hour. We stayed till almost 10:30 show ends at 11. We asked for 2 songs that were fun classics everyone could sing along to since the playing of "wet a** P***y" wasn't exactly bumping in the club and just made the establishment even more grimy than it already was! We got outbid, not knowing exactly how dueling piano bars r ran. Now we do and we will never go back. We just wanted a shout out which coulda been said in 2 seconds... is that why you got a 1 star? No. The food was also extremely gross. Only dish with eating was the pasta. What salad comes with no lettuce lol? Weird whatever? I didn't order it. My original review complemented some of the songs and some other things but it was also pointing out the crappy parts like asking for more money mid song. I hate places that seem like they r begging for money. It's just not my vibe. And while this place is "ALWAYS sold out" how many are return customers!? And why are the restaurants reviews at 2 stars? Because it's a 1 star establishment. I have never had two reviews deleted before so yes... my bad... I take full accountability that I ASSUMED your establishment had anything to do with a removed review and it didn't. But i did not delete it myself. Jason m the pianist had asked at one point for me to remove it and I said I would not but I understand the concern. He then brought up health issues and played on my empathy and my love for God then came back and told me how I was rude and how Jesus was not always nice so he justified Jason and himself don't have to be nice to me. My review was unfortunately taken personally by these two men...when I did not say anything personal. The owner though... got personal with me over my expression of why this place was a 1 star ( for me ) and silently attacked my character. Thank the lord for my husband. M. C. Who came to bat like a pro for me. I didn't even ask him to, but he mentioned my military career and other services to this country that in otherworldly do not take the title of "princess". ESPECIALLY the paths I have gone down! I hope this and his review make you think twice about how you speak to people before getting upset over a 1 star review! It's the internet I wasn't being a bully I was explaining so other who read are aware of what they r stepping into. A 1 star bar and restaurant venue who ask for a lot of money don't treat their customers with much respect in person and over the internet... and don't reimburse people for items they don't receive or accidentally got charged for. It's not hard to DO the right thing. And "being a good person" doesn't mean I have to delete a review for your bar. I am a good person. I'd like to say proudly... a bit better of a person than you Jason. I wish you luck! My first review below: edited review above My review was deleted don't know why. Who whole establishment was a rip off. And having my review deleted makes this so much worse off and corrupt. Very interesting. I understand piano bars r based off tips... but this was gross and like begging for more money every song that played. My request was never played.. while I was there... and ( they reached out o tell me they eventually did) (By the way other ppl reviews they were reimbursed for not playing their song but mine wasn't) While some songs were fun... the music selection was truly trash... I won't go back and I'll never reccomend. No one at my table would ever go back. The food was horrid old dry and gross tasting also.
