    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+

    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.

    Brought out from the owner and sous chef... beautifully presented and delicious!

    Bullta is a great and impressive restaurant. Their Galbi, wagyu, and sushi are so delicious. This is the second time we've been here and they did not disappoint. Our server was the best. The owner and sous chef is also a sweet, skillful, and nice man. Very respectable. Their buffet has wonderful, traditional Korean food options. A very clean, trendy restaurant overall. Give Bullta a try!

    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.

    Choice of meats on mini course $24.99

    Been here a few times and the selection of meats and side dishes never disappoints! They carry the flavors of KBBQ and hits the spot. The establishment is big enough for large parties and classy and fun for a date! Believe they even have a nice bar, I'll try next time! Service is good not to long of a wait and the robot brought us our items! Always a good choice if ur wanting a different KBBQ with sushi to come to. We even chose the mini of 24.99 which had great selection of meats with good quality and came with the buffet. Believe only thing wasn't a ramen bar. But I was ok with that!

    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

    My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary dinner. I wanted to try a kbbq place that we both have not been to before so we decided on Bullta. The place is nicely decorated and felt perfect for our date. Unfortunately, I started knocking stars down within seconds of walking in. There was no host in the front. Staff saw us but completely ignored us. We were standing in the front with no acknowledgment for a good 15 mins. Finally, the host showed up. No apologies. I asked how long the wait was. She said it will be quick as she just needed to seat the 2 groups ahead of us. Another 15 mins have gone by and we were not seated. The host was in between her station in the front and in the back doing other duties. While she was in the front, she ignored all the other customers that came in after us. Again, no acknowledgments or informing customers that she will be with them shortly. She definitely lacked in proper customer service. We were finally seated. The menus were really dirty. Water cup had lipstick stains. Our server was nice and pretty attentive at least. He explained how it works since it was our first time there. We selected the Bullta Course. Meats are order through the server. Banchan, appetizers, sides, some sushi and utensils are all self serve. There is a instant ramen station as well. The meat quality and flavors were alright. Sushi was mediocre. Steamed egg was burnt. At the end of the meal, our server offered melona ice cream for dessert. There are different flavors to choose from. Overall, they are not the worst kbbq in town but we will probably not be back again.

    3.5 stars . This our second time coming and on our first time the waitress was very helpful and attentive. But this time we had a waitress was not too helpful. She just did her job. She would come by and switch out the grill and not say a word and then go lower the heat setting Even though we were still trying to cook , And we never got drink refills until we finally asked. And she just seemed half annoyed by any Request we Made but she was pretty quick and besides that she wasn't bad. We brought our friends and we had a lot of fun, eating the hot pot and trying all the side dishes. The food was pretty good. I recommend the galbi and the spicy octopus! The regular and spicy cold noodles are also good! The restaurant is very cute and it really has a Korean vibe and you feel like you're in Korea from the deco and kpop . It definitely hits the spot if you're craving easy and filling Korean food .

    beef brisket
    Ester L.

    Came here for AYCE KBBQ and it was super good! The interior is beautiful and this setting is great for both families and hungry college students. Sushi was really tasty, gimbap was a little disappointing though. Kimchi jiggae was pretty good. The fruit was outstanding (pineapple, green grapes, oranges). I also really liked the mung bean salad and cucumber kimchi. Whenever something ran out, someone on staff was immediately wiring the kitchen about it. The beef brisket was delicious, not too much fat on most pieces even when some plates looked like 50% fat before cooking . I tried one round of beef belly and it was just gross how much fat there was, so we went back to the beef brisket and preferred its flavor. The service here was amazing especially given that we were a party of like 50+ (reserved). Orders came as fast as possible and they were slicing meat as we ate. The older Korean woman who served our table was especially great. When I forgot my Invisalign and came back for it, she found it in the kitchen and rinsed it for me before handing it over and she was so sweet and nice about it. I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back!

    AYCE
    Kristina M.

    Bullta just keeps improving since they first opened! I like to see these positive changes. The inside is fun and welcoming. I do love this about this location. There's a few AYCE options and the higher priced items also include ordering fresh, made to order sushi and other delicacies! The first few times I've been here, the bar where you get all your fixings and items such as sushi rolls was not as fresh as I would have liked. This most recent experience had fresh items and the bar was well stocked! I love to see these improvements. They do have your DIY Ramen station which I love too. Customers need to pay attention to the ramen making instructions when they do this on their own. Like with many Korean BBQ spots, this place also has a robot to assist with serving and making the customers happy. I do recommend this place when you want a fun environment for Korean BBQ! Check it out!

    Sides and sauce
    Alex D.

    If I had choose one KBBQ place to go to, it will havbe Bullta! I've been going Bullta since they first opened and I believe it's the most consistent kbbq restaurant I've ever been to! The restaurant is huge, and when you first step in, you're greeted with loud K-pop music and the host. I typically go for dinner on weekends and it can be busy during that time. Once seated, the server will ask you which option you would like, and I always choose the family course. Every time we go, we MUST order the corn cheese and steamed egg, and I think they have the best in Sacramento. As for meats, my go-to's are the marinated boneless shortrib, beef belly (my personal favorite), brisket and thin cut pork belly! You are allowed to order 3 meats at a time and however many sides you want, but we try to limit that to get our money's worth. After ordering meats, you can go to the self-serve bar and get some side dishes. My plate will always have the meat sauce, house spicy sauce, some raw jalapeño and garlic, cucumber kimchi, pink daikon, and the julienned green onion. The tender and delicious meat in combination with the side dishes is so good, and the acidity from the sides helps with not getting tired of the fattiness. The food gets served by robots that follow paths around the restaurant and will stop in front of your table with your food and will have a receipt on it for verification. I prefer being served by people as the robots could get in the way of people and may bump into them. As for the grill itself, I like that it is constantly sucks in the smoke as you're grilling, rather than having a vent hang above you and honestly those don't work that well. I do miss the metal trays that had before that had little sections for side dishes, now they have round dishes that don't hit the same but still do the job. Our servers are always coming by to make sure we received our orders and offer to put in more if it looks like we're finishing up, which is nice. They also put an effort into talking with us and answer any questions we have about the menu or certain items. I like to end my meal with getting a spicy cold noodle with some pork belly which is something everyone should try! Overall, Bullta is an incredible place to get kbbq and it's a fantastic place to bring some friends and pig out! Also, it's really funny that they blast the birthday music so everyone knows!

    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… Read more

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 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.
