This was a really fun event with great food & great people! I arrived a bit early to find that some of my elite friends had made it off the waitlist same day and were already there! The staff greeted us happily. The space is big and open. We were all seated at tables of 4 which worked out great. Some of the banchan (small Korean sides) had already been placed on the table and they continued to bring more. They turned on the grill and took our order for a soju drink (watermelon, passion fruit or strawberry) I wasn't planning on having one because I don't usually like soju but the passion fruit was good. They then delivered the thinly sliced meat, beef belly, bulgolgi and brisket. One of our group had never had Korean bbq so it was fun as our table talked her through it. Her delight at it all was infectious. We grilled our meat and shared everything. We ordered more sides like ramen, tofu stew, pot stickers, corn cheese, kimchi pancakes, steamed egg and sweet potato. We ordered spicy pork bulgolgi and spicy pork belly. Everything was so good and we were stuffed! We knew the elites at the tables on both sides of us and it was fun chatting and laughing with them too. We were even passing meat and sides that we/they couldn't finish back and forth. I think pretty much everything got eaten and we were all so full! This was such a great event! I look forward to returning soon. Thank you 2n1 Korean bbq, Audrey, Caitlin, Yelp! And my fellow elites for making it such enjoyable night! read more

Meat (and sides) for days! Knowing that this all-you-can-eat Yelp extravaganza started at 4 pm, I deliberately skipped lunch, which was a wise decision indeed. I was pretty much full after the first round of proteins - beef belly, brisket, and bulgogi - but also managed a few bites of garlic pork belly and spicy pork bulgogi that my table ordered during our second round. Pro tip: the marinated meats are delicious but intensely flavored (e.g. "Would you like some pork with your garlic?")! Nevertheless, I'd happily order anything and everything again, including the tasty soju cocktails - we had a choice of passionfruit, watermelon, or strawberry. The restaurant was squeaky clean and service excellent with multiple grill change-outs - staff earned every bit of that fat wad of cash tips we all left at the end of the event! Thank you 2n1, Yelp, and CM Audrey L. for an incredible MeatFULL Monday! read more

There is a wonderful new Korean BBQ that has opened up in Vista. Everyone watch out for 2 in 1 Korean BBQ. Thank you to Audrey for having us at such a great event. It was truly one of the best times I have had! So much fun. The food was delicious. My favorite was the pork belly. I enjoyed it wrapped in rice paper with the delicious spicy green onions. It was such a treat and I loved everything. The staff worked hard and it's not easy catering to so many Elites at one time. You guys did an amazing job! Thank you for great food and a fun evening! read more

What a unique Yelp event, and I mean I've been to too many to count now, but never at an AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. Definitely a fun event and you get to intimately meet 3 other yelpers. Tables were set to 4. The first round was predetermine meats, beef brisket, beef belly, and bulgogi. The beef round was really good. The sides were plentiful and the banchan were really good. I enjoyed the kimchi too, normally I don't, but it was good. Our second round we got all the pork's. Garlic pork belly, regular pork belly, spicy pork bulgogi, and regular pork bulgogi. We messed up and didn't get the thinly sliced pork belly. We also got some steam eggs, corn cheese, and dumplings. But everything was amazing. Loved it all. Definitely coming back here with the family to try their premium menu. Some offerings look good that we weren't able to try. Unique and fun event thanks to 2n1 Korean BBQ and Yelp for the experience! read more

I was one of the lucky 50 Yelp Elites who got to attend this AYCE Korean BBQ experience. 2n1 Korean BBQ has 2 locations, the original in the Temecula Promenade and the new location where we had our event opened a few months ago in Vista Village. The concept is like other Korean BBQ restaurants where you have two hours to eat your heart out. We had quite a feast! For the first round of meats, the restaurant showcased their pork belly, beef Bulgogi, and brisket. They brought out a wide assortment of banchan that included salad, pickled radish, pickled cucumbers, macaroni salad, kimchi, japchae, green onion salad, thin raddish wraps, and fish cake. For the subsequent rounds, we were free to order anything from the menu. Our table of four added spicy pork belly, spicy beef bulgogi, spicy sweet & sour fried chicken. For the sides, we ordered the cheese corn, potstickers, ramen, tofu soup, steamed egg, kimchi pancake, sweet potato, and rice. This was a lot of food snd we were stuffed! We wanted to try the many different types of meats, but knew we couldn't eat them all. It would've been nice if there's an option for sample meat platters with a few pieces of each meat. This would be a great way to showcase the menu and cut down food waste. While there's a rule of $10 per plate of leftovers, it's still wasteful. The staff was very attentive and made sure our dirty grills were swapped out with clean ones, so we experienced no interruptions during our grand feast. To wash down all this delicious food, there were flavored soju. I had a mix of strawberry and passion fruit. Normally soju has a very strong taste. If I didn't know any better, I would've gulped it down like soda! This was one of my favorite Yelp Elite events, definitely the mist generous! Many thanks to the owners of 2n1 Korean BBQ and their staff for hosting our group! Thank you Audrey and the Yelp crew for organizing this awesome event! read more

Thank you to the 2N1 owners and staff, Yelp, Audrey and Kaitlyn for a great sit down Yelp Elite meal experience. Please enjoy my photos and look for some posts on instagram. I love Korean BBQ but don't get to try it very often so I was happy to get to be 1 of 50 select Yelpers to try this new restaurant. It was a little surreal sitting in there knowing what it used to look like, being a Panera for so many years. I definitely like what you did with the place. The dark and grey colors and solid looking decor feel very welcoming, but also fun with all the TVs, lights, and other various illuminated signs. There were also signs talking about their history, the journey, the food, etc. The place was spotless and ready for us to dive in. We were treated to a wonderful experience trying pretty much everything on the lunch menu. Right away we were treated to a Soju cocktail drink, the flavors were Mango, Strawberry, and 1 other kind (maybe passion fruit). I tried a sip of the Strawberry - it was tasty and not overpowering. The tables were loaded with all kinds of ingredients including salads, kimchi, noodles, macaroni salad, and so much more. There were also dipping sauces kind of like a sweet and savory experience, and some salt to sprinkle on the meats while they were cooking. The sides started flowing pretty quickly with some great recommendations from the staff. The corn cheese, and the dumplings were 2 of my favorites. I also liked the sesame ball dessert, and the rice cakes (but I was the only one at my table of 4 that liked the rice cakes). We also tried the steamed egg, some onions, pineapple, mushrooms and sweet potatoes. There were some soups but I did not try that. We got to try bulgogi, chicken breast, pork belly, beef brisket, and beef belly. Someone ordered too much and gave us some of their spicy bulgogi, but that put us over the top, that was just too much food. The meal was fantastic. Definitely all you can eat. So come hungry to get your moneys worth. The quality of the meat and ingredients was very good. Definitely a top notch experience, with every person on the staff smiling, helpful, answering questions, and in a non stop parade of food coming and going. It was a great to have one so close and get to try it out. Now I have a good spot to take family and friends who come to visit. Thank you very much. I hope that you will have plenty of customers trying out the wonderful dining experience and quality food. read more

My family loves Korean BBQ and are always excited to go and try new places. However, this was my first time. Let me tell you, what a great experience! From the moment we walked in I felt welcome, the staff were friendly, smiling, great sense of humor and there to answer any questions we had. The food was amazing, from the sides to the meats everything was fresh and well seasoned. Loved the variety they have, so much to choose from (everything from salads to hot sides). It is so much fun snacking on the sides while cooking your meats on the grill. It is perfect too because you get to cook everything how you like it. The cheesy corn was tasty as was the cheesy egg (mixed perfect with the rice and meat). I got white rice so I could mix in some of the sauces and various meats and veggies but there was also a kimchi rice available which I heard was great. We e had the lunch option and there was no shortage of food for sure, we actually ran out of room on the table! Dinner options are a bit more but include more meats. Hard to imagine because lunch includes so much. All options are reasonably priced as well. Each table sat 4 where we were so it was a great opportunity for me to meet some new people. There is plenty of seating inside and the space is nice and open (well ventilated for sure with all of the grills especially) and location is great, not far from the freeway and easy to get to. Food brings people together and 2n1did exactly that! I know they just opened and for having all of us there at once and being brand new the staff was flawless, like a well-oiled machine. Cannot wait to take the family. Thank you 2n1 Korean BBQ, Audrey, and Yelp for hosting us and an overall one of a kind, amazing event!!! What a great way to start the week with good food and new friends. read more

Such a good time!! I really loved the lunch menu that they offered!! I'm gonna have to come back for the dinner menu for the steaks!!! I always love the cheese corn, if you haven't tried that always get it at every Korean BBQ. Thank you for the onion salad, it's more something you add to the meat for extra flavor for me, rather than eating alone. I really loved this event and the people at my table were super inviting and loving, this made it even better. Thank you Carmen, Keith, and Natalia. We had a time, that's for sure. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, everyone was very nice, thank you again!!! read more

Elite Event: 2n1 Korean BBQ - Good times n food - Yelp Events Near Me - Vista, California

I love to be the first person to review as usual! I am loving everything I am seeing in the table, this is going to be epic! Well, it was really epic! So much variety of appetizers and meats in a communal setting of 4 at each table. I loved it so much, I enjoyed the fact that was an early dinner as I ate so much I then needed some hours to rest and not eat anymore! I loved the ramen broth a lot as well as the meats and my least favorite thing was the egg dish that was kind of watery (but I guess this is the way it is). Service was stellar, they treated us promptly and very courteous. Thanks so much Yelp and 2n1 for this fabulous generous treat. Btw, we asked by 2n1 as we understood it was 2+1 and we didn't get it. So one of the waitress told us that was referring to 21 days that certain meat needs to be cured. Interesting. Good luck to this new culinary venture in Vista! read more

Thanks a bunch Audrey for hosting having us at such a great event What an evening with wonderful YelpFam with whom I had a spectacular evening. The food is fresh, flavorful, and plentiful--from the wide variety of meats to the delicious sides. Our table tried Corn cheese, fish cake, pickles, cheese egg, cucumber and kimchi rice. We were offered from lunch menu and looks like dinner includes even more meat options. Despite the generous portions, prices remain reasonable. My favorites, spicy pork, The brisket and beef belly. Service we so prompt and there were quick in swapping the grill and serving. The atmosphere was vie and restaurant is clean, spacious, and well-ventilated--perfect for grilling at the table. We sat in groups of 4 and It was a great chance to meet old friends and new people. Once again, A big thanks to Audrey for organizing such a fun and flawless event. I can't wait to return with my family! read more

One of my favorite Yelp elite events yet!! All Yelp elites sat together at one side of the restaurant so it felt intimate and like we could get to know our fellow Yelp elite friends! This was an AYCE experience and the food did not disappoint. I especially loved the brisket and beef belly, and the numerous amount of sides they offer. The tofu soup was amazing along with the corn cheese and steamed egg. They had every side you could think of and service was so quick! The servers were so nice and helped us with the menu. They brought out our meat and sides so fast, we definitely got full! The restaurant itself is super clean and I love that the ventilation is so good so you don't sit in smoke the whole time you are eating. Thank you so much to Audrey for this fun event! read more

I enjoy small scale sit down Yelp events and this one was just perfect. 50 of us lucky Elites got to visit and have an early dinner/late lunch at new Korean bbq 2N1. This restaurant was just recently opened and its looks and feels very clean and polished with minimalistic design. The wait staff was helpful to navigate the menu and made suggestions on the side dishes. It is indeed an interactive cooking experience and also an ice-breaker in a social setting when you sit with people you have not met before. I shared a table with 3 other Yelpers and we all had fun cooking the meats and trying different sides. My favorites were the cheese corn, salads and all of the fermented vegetables. All the proteins we cooked were delicious and well marinated. Thank you to Audrey, the Yelp team and 2N1 Korean bbq for this amazing dinning experience. read more

Thank you Audrey and 2N1 Korean BBQ for this opportunity! I haven't been to a Korean BBQ in a long time so this was definitely a treat. Glad to have sat with Ashley, Meg and Megan. I appreciated their tips and conversations. Overall, the experience and the food were amazing! The table could have used more space since the meats, condiments, sides, and drinks were all there. Definitely will come back and bring my son or my friends. My favorite was the Garlic Pork Belly and the Bulgogi. I also tried a little bit of the Passion Fruit Soju Cocktail which was not too sweet after all. The 2 hr limit was great! It gives time for our tummies to digest plus more time to talk. read more

Everything was really flavorful! For the second round, we got the 2n1 bulgogi (which was probably my favorite) and garlic pork belly (super garlicky). We were all so stuffed! What a good find! We will definitely come back! read more

This is an excellent new Korean bbq! The facilities are excellent, inside there are many stainless steel tables with adjustable height vent hoods. The food was top-notch and the service was excellent and attentive. For example, they would be sure to swap out for a clean grill plate whenever our current one got dirty. My favorite meat was the 2in1 spicy pork bulgogi. Favorite hot side was the kimchi pancake. I appreciated the selection of really good banchan too, but would like to see some other common favorites like potato and spinach. One suggestion: the garlic pork belly had an intense garlic flavor, perhaps too intense. Also, it was two huge pieces of meat - one would suffice. read more

2n1 serves a variety of high-quality meats and side dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed the Beef Brisket, Bulgogi, Beef Belly, Garlic Pork Belly, and Chicken Bulgogi. Each of the meats were so flavorful and went so well with the sesame oil and gochujang dipping sauces. I also recommend their Passion Fruit Soju; it was so refreshing and had the perfect amount of sweetness. It's my new favorite soju! Thank you, Yelp, Audrey, and 2n1 for this amazing Yelp Elite event.

Such a fun and sumptuous meal! We had the lunch menu and had beef brisket, beef belly, bulgogi, and garlic pork belly. All the meats came out perfect and fresh. We also had tofu stew and corn cheese. The tofu stew was delicious- the level of spice is balanced. The cream cheese corn was loaded with too much cheese- for some it might be good, but for me, it's a bit too much.

Another fabulous Yelp Elite event put on by Audrey and her team @YelpSanDiego. The venue was held @2n1Vista Korean Barbecue, a new restaurant in Vista. The facility is sparkling, clean and beautiful. The Yelp Team did a wonderful job of setting everything up for the event starting at 4 PM. The tables were four persons per table, sitting around essentially vented grill, allowing our party of four to share in the cooking and enjoy a family style Korean meal. Brisket, beef belly (first for me) and bulgogi were the protein starters. There wasn't anything that we had at the table that wasn't good to fabulous. I visit my daughter in Vista on a regular basis and I definitely will be bringing the family to this Korean barbecue spot less than 10 minutes from their house. There's plenty of parking and easy access. Thanks again to the Yelp San Diego team for another tremendous event, exposing us to another five star restaurant!

Wow! What a treat to be invited to such a wonderful event! Very generous! The servers were all friendly and informative. The setup when I walked in was really a delight for the eyes. I sat with 3 other solo elitists which was nice. All the meats were great. The sides complimented well. Wish I knew more about how to combine things the right way! One of the girls at my table was knowledgeable and provided some much needed guidance on the meal. The passion fruit soju cocktail was so yummy! I honestly can't even pick a favorite thing. The steamed egg and dumplings were good sides. Kimchi pancake was excellent too! The Hawaiian beef was probably my favorite of the meats although there was great variety. Wished I had ordered the octopus! Very nice inside. Table was a little small for all the sides but we made it work. Thank you again! Always appreciated when I get to participate in these events. read more
