    The food quality was much better than before and the last time I was here. I like meat quality better. The marinate beef finger was a favorite. Thin pork belly was crispy good like bacon. The boneless non marinate beef short rib was tender. . Love the endless ban Chan bar. They also now have sushi too. The sushi rolls and the Kimbap was a favorite. The bon chon like kimchi, beansprouts, and broccoli is a favorite. . They also have good miso soup and tofu spicy soup endless serving help yourself. . The price point is under 40. I do like to see beef bone in la glabi for that price. Also they do have diy ramen bar which is fun and unique. . Overall I am glad I give them another try and i would start coming again with the improvements. Love the sushi and diy ramen bar add on. Its a great options besides kbbq. Service was attentive. Thanks for reading. Hope this helps. Have a yelptastic day.

    I really enjoyed this restaurant. For the cost of roughly $25 you get array of tasty meats,seafood,sushi, salad gar items and soup assortment. Service was pretty good. The servers came pretty quickly to take our orders, clear our plates and change out the grills. The decor made you feel like you were in Korea. The Soju cocktails are also very tasty, so definitely try. The only thing I'd wish they'd add was an ice cresm/sorbet item to the mini menu item I'll definitely be back.

    Immediate fan for KBBQ in SAC. The service was really good especially for coming an hour and a half before closing. The self serve bar had sushi, all the regular sides, soups, and rice. This was the first time I've seen smores at KBBQ along with a ramen station where you can make your own ramen. Even though, I didn't get to try the ramen it was still crazy they had it on top of everything else. For everything they offer, the price was cheaper than a regular KBBQ down in SoCal or a Gen so points for that. Would love to come back again, also the ambiance was pretty cool with floating umbrellas in the ceilings.

    This was an easy go-to Kbbq spot, short wait and food was good but over the years it started to lack a lot of things. I came here frequently because they offered a mini course, which is such a good deal if you don't want so much for kbbq. I'm not sure if I'll be back anytime soon now. The service I received this one day was probably the worst service ever. Server was not attentive at all and did not follow any of our orders as simple as getting us water when asked multiple times. We barely got to order our rounds, we maxed at 3 rounds with just two bowls of meat each round because we waited so long for our server. The sides have gotten more bland and not as flavorful. It was a slow night too but the sides went fast and no one refilled it. I felt like I waited majority of my time rather than eating.

    Fabulous! Fresh food cooked perfectly, fun atmosphere, lot's of room and space to vibe, accomodating of large groups, great service even when short staffed, and really cool environment to enjoy. Prices are more than worth it and you won't be disappointed. Ease of access and navigation for mobility aids and devices. Staff are kind, knowledgeable and service oriented. Definitely a great place to go, eat and enjoy. Excellent for small and large groups.

    All you can eat sushi caught our eye. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our server Brandon was superb, we like him so much. He was very attentive and polite. The food was delicious. The kimichi was not good but everything else was. We didn't try the ramen bar. The SUSHI was pretty good, better than most all you can eat places. The decorations and choice of songs were nice too. We'll come back when we're in this area.

    Amazing experience at Bullta Korean BBQ! It was smoke free for the most part and all the attendants were considerate and respectful. They often check on you to make sure you are safe or have all your ordered food. The ambience is as follows for all kbbq location family style tables and bar. Will be back for the amazing food, price, and combination of food and drinks! A+

    Bullta Korean BBQ has usually been my favorite KBBQ spot in the Sacramento area, which makes this experience even more disappointing. We came to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately it was the worst service I've ever received here. Our server, Ara, spent much of the time sitting behind us on her phone (I even have photos for proof). We were rarely checked on and had to go through much of our meal without being offered additional meat selections. At one point, we sat with empty water glasses for nearly half the meal because they were never refilled. To make matters worse, our table was never cleared throughout the entire dining experience, leaving plates and dishes piled up as we ate. The level of attentiveness was practically nonexistent. Part of the reason I chose Bullta for my birthday was because of the fun and energetic atmosphere I've experienced in the past. This time there was no birthday song, no celebration, and none of the special touches or prizes that made previous visits memorable. I've always recommended Bullta to friends and family, but this visit left me extremely disappointed. Great food can only make up for so much when the service is this poor. I truly hope management addresses these issues because this experience was far below the standard I've come to expect from this restaurant.

    This place is decent for the price, but I'm not sure if I would return. The good: the staff were friendly and service was quick. They have different tier AYCE menus that you can choose from, and your food is delivered by a robot. They have a decent selection of meats and items you can choose from. The buffet area also had a small variety of food, along with a sauce station where you can DIY your own sauce to your liking. And if you want to take a break from the meat, you have your options of sushi and even a ramen station. The bad: although there was a decent selection, the quality of the food felt lacking. The meat quality didn't taste fresh, and I left the restaurant feeling extremely thirsty. And although there were side friendly staff, the service was slow. While we were there, the restaurant was not busy at all, so it was a chore to keep our eyes out for an employee to pass by to be flagged down for more orders.

    Disappointed by the entire experience. I was excited for the metal food trays and the seaweed rolls, pork skin, chicken gizzards that I saw in the Yelp photos but it seems they got rid all of that. Metal food trays would be been so much more convenient grabbing the banchans than individual tiny bowls. That would've made this place stand out amongst other kbbq places, it's too bad they got rid of it. The customer service was also very lacking, they barely checked on us and we had to flag the down every time to order more food. The place wasn't even crowded but food took a while to come out most of the time. I always order galbi but the boneless galbi pieces were big chunks which weren't as pleasant to eat. The diy instant ramen bar was a nice touch and I did enjoy the sushi hand rolls.

    Last visit was in 2023 , same AYCE with more options like sushi , hotpot , instant ramen station where you can pick your own ramen flavor and make it. The Banchan walk up bar is still there with a few changes but still have your basics and soups and rice. Service was great! we went for the Bullta AYCE premium meats were good also the wyagu and lamb galbi. Handrolls and other sushi rolls made to order , appetizer menu with shrimp tempura very good . a table for 4 with one grill and they do changes in between so you can keep on cooking! like the new menu just a lil bit more on the price. they also have other menu options if you just want to order during lunch time to go.

    My husband and I we have come here twice. This place is huge and the meat and the food is good but I think when the time we went it was lunch not a lot people was there so the food on the side was already there for a long time. I like my food nice and fresh. The people there are nice. The place is nice love the bathrooms but we hear the music a bit loud. Do I recommend here? Yes I do

    Spicy beef belly

    I am a huge fan of kbbq as I love Blue House and Korean Oz. This one in particular I think has better quality of meats and a wider variety and bang for your buck aspect. The reasoning of this 3 star isn't for the employees themselves because they were great but their arms are spread very thin. I'm here for lunch at 1:30 and I got seated at 1:00 and all I've gotten was 1 round of kbbq and 1 grill change with no refill. With Blue House and Oz I would be on round 2-3 with refills and wouldn't have to be writing a review waiting on my second round. Got second round at 1:39. 40 min to start a second round.

    Ask the Community - Bullta BBQ

    Do they do half portions of meat?

    Do they impose a 2-hour time limit like most Korean all-you-can-eats or buffets do?

    They're really friendly & aren't as strict with that

    Is it noisy?

    Yes it gets pretty loud

    Do they have the robots that deliver food yet, or am I thinking of a different location?

    they have robots!

    Is it possible to get on the waiting list (for party of 4) while on my way there?

    You can get on the list by visiting their yelp page. Based on current capacity and the size of your party it will let you know if you can reserve for a specific time slot.

    Are there "appetizer" options like french fries etc. for picky toddlers who do not eat this type of food?

    Yes! There are french fries! There are also fried mandu/fried dumplings and fried spring rolls.

    Can someone post the lunch special menu?

    Helen H. did it in her review recently… 

    Is it open to the public during the soft opening?

    Yes, it is open to the public during their soft opening.

I ordered the Large American Kobe Beef with miso and crab broths. It was an average size to feed two people, however I was hungry so I was not full after the meal. The dish came with thin sliced beef, veggies, and choice of noodles or rice. The portion of noodles was very small. The crab broth was my favorite of all the broths and had a nice crab flavor. The meal came with dessert which was a choice of ice cream; I chose the cookies and cream. The chicken wing appetizer was scrumptious. The wings were fried and coated with sauce with lots of jalapenos. Service was good as the employee offered samples of all their broths to assist in making a selection. After the food was served he checked if we needed anything and refilled water. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It was busy on a Saturday evening so reservations are recommended. Free parking is on the street.

Glad my mom suggested it for her birthday dinner or I don't know when I would've ever gone! Service was excellent (both helpful & informative). Since we'd never gone before, we were offered a sample of the broths; this was super helpful and appreciated because I ended up not ordering one of the broths I thought I was definitely going to get. I got the Kobe Beef with Miso & Crab Rieu as the two broths. I was able to comfortably split the large size with my husband, but we probably could've used a slightly larger portion for his sake. (He felt a bit hungry after the meal but noted his stomach had settled.) As a party of 5, two of us shared one pot (or two broths) and three shared another pot. The chicken wings appetizer was very flavorful too! (The server listed three options for wings and we went with the one that included jalapeños.) For noodles, you can choose between instant ramen, fresh ramen or vermicelli. It also came with a small scoop of ice cream at the end of the meal! I think I'll come back for AYCE soon. All the ingredients were fresh and very tasty.

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.

    Mixed review on this one…read more Standout: Service, Service, Service! The food runners and the supporting staff were amazing! Great patients with the grandparents as they are less adventurous as they took time to explain the process as well as recommending a less "punch you in the face" broths for their individual hotpot. This buffet style was also cool in that all the individual proteins (pre-cooled/seasoned/fully cooked) were individually plated and in little half boxes . Diners take an empty lunch tray, gather what looks good for their liking and return to their table to cook and enjoy. Definitely much more "civilized" . Way better than large sections with multiple tongs encouraging the food savages. Another big plus is the wide selections. For those food influencers...it will be a long running camera shot just to capture the amount of different items. The challenge with this approach tho is that the plates and small food containers can stack up bery quickly and take over much of the real estate on the dining table top. But we were amazed at the team work of the staff to quickly make the needed elbow room. On a busy Saturday night tho, it definitely can still be a bit tricky. The value for the AYCE die hards are definitely there! There are solid options of meats fish and veg. But those fearing AYCE diners can also expect a certain level madness. We saw many unintentional dropping of trays of eager patrons. There were definitely ambitious customers that are stacking their trays sky high. Customers on our visit were generally very cordial to staff and on the couple of "tim.....berssss" we witnessed, the response time to clean up was really impressive! The AYCE masses are hard to please for sure, but it may make a difference to apply some general limit on the individual patrons trays? That may frustrate some hardcore diners but can enhance the experience of others. We will reiterate that the managing team is just doing such a bang up job in hiring a great crew! They all were hustling and we definitely noticed! WTG!!!

There's just…read moresomething so so soothing and satisfying about this cuisine and something so communal and fun that I just can't get enough. When considering a hot pot restaurant, I think you have to look at two things the broth choices, and the selection of the signature proteins. A lot of places will try to convince you that you need to upgrade to the premium level to get access to the best of the best, but I am more appreciate places like this one that offer a ton at the low and medium level with only a few really choice select things added to the premium level Making the decision pretty easy. We opted for the mid tier which included several cuts of beef, lamb, pork chicken, as well as a lot of fun, add-ins, like fish balls, and tofu, skin, chrysanthemum greens, and more. For broth, I went with the Sichuan spicy medium heat level and frankly I probably could've dialed it up a little bit. As the broth evaporated did get hotter and hotter like it's supposed to and I did have a couple of reactions to the heat as it hit my sinuses, but other than that, it was deliciously tolerable. Now, while we upgraded to the midtier, my favorite cut of meat had to have been the spicy beef and the green chili chicken. Both of these had house marinades or dry seasonings on them that made the meat delicious and added it to the broth as well. But above all that the real shining star here has to be the service. The server was ever present in the most appropriate way possible quick to take an order, and the kitchen was even quicker to get that order to us. The restaurant was completely clean and we were never wanting for more than literally a second. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area if you live in the area and you haven't been, you are seriously missing out. Oh yeah and the shrimp balls are made in house and insanely good!

It took a little while for him to take our order after we were seated, but he did a solid job making sure everything we ordered made it to the table. We did have to get up a few times to get his attention while he was hanging out near the kitchen prep area. We tried the AYCE option at $38 per person. Each pot comes with two broth choices. The price isn't bad, but I feel like they could offer a few more seafood options and maybe include some appetizers. The beef selection and vegetables were good, but for seafood they only offered fish roe balls, shrimp and mussels. The shrimp being peeled was definitely a plus. Appetizers are only included with the premium AYCE set, which is $78 per person. There's also a sauce bar. I made my sauce the same way I usually do at Seapot and GoGi, but the ponzu was a bit too sour and the sesame sauce was pretty bland. Overall, I wasn't disappointed with the experience, but I don't think this would become one of my go-to hot pot spots.
