On a Saturday morning in September, my sister was craving for Korean bbq so we arrived before 11:30am. It's located in the Dollar tree shopping center. Once at 11am, we waited to get seated since we were the 1st group to eat here $22.99. Inside is small with booths in both sides of wall and round metal round tables like in Korea. Very clean with free banchan and marinated meats in the back of wall. We mostly ordered beef belly and pork belly. The banchans are good and salad bowl was yummy with good quality of meats. I enjoyed the atmosphere of listening to kpop in the background. There were only 2 servers running around and they refilled our water jug and banchans. We kept our grill with no change. More people arrived by 12 noon. We were full by 12:30. The fruit slices were refreshing and delicious.
They have a self-serve bar with a variety of food, and the $22.99 lunch deal is available 7 days a week !!! We went with Menu B, and our favorite was the marinated rib finger so juicy, tender, and flavorful! Oh yes, they also have pho! IG: socalhkfoodies
Any korean bbq place that has food out in the buffet tends to make sick. Im not sure why i keep attempting. I always thought i had a cast iron stomach. After eating here, I definitely got sick. They are known for being very affordable during lunch at 20$, but their dinner price at 30$ isn't bad either. Nothing stood out for me as far as meat quality and taste. The steamed egg disappointed me the most bc it was burnt and was not watery and fluffy. The steamed egg tasted like an omelet. I only enjoyed the seaweed soup, and unfortunately that was from the bar. Service was great and its small and cozy inside. I only wish the food didn't make me throw up and frequent my trips to the bathroom.
We came during their lunch special for 22.99. To me it's a great deal to enjoy a decent meal without the bells and whistle. I mean ordering the most expensive selections could be fancy, but i wouldn't be able to taste much of it as I am eating less as I get older. The menu may appear confusing as it highlights "server" and "bar." Server essentially means you order the meats from the waiter or waitress. There is a buffet area where you can select your own raw meats and hot foods; this is referred to the bar. They're side dishes you help yourself at the bar that is not served, like rice paper and tortillas. They also have condiments on the side like hot sauces, sesame oil, soy sauce and seasoning. The meats are at par for a typical kbbq. It's a decent place to grab a bite, hang out with friends, and if you've been in a long relationship to eat out. The interior isn't upscale and is tailored to the general crowd. Reminds me of K-Town spots, but better lit. What struck me the most was their kimchi. General kimchi is fermented, pungent, and sour. The kimchi here was crisp, bright in color, and sweeter. The sauce they use with the cabbage, as well as the cucumber side dishes, was delicious. Roll that up with meat in a rice paper and dip it in sesame oil mixed with soy sauce, bomb. I did notice there were mentioning of poor service in other yelp reviews. I did not experience that. Although they were short staff due to the slow hours on a Friday afternoon, they were attentive. We were checked on and had our grill exchanged several times. It was a great lunch deal, service was exceptional, and I got my fill for KBBQ. Be sure to tip the servers well for this great offer. Thank you for the experience.
We just found out about this AYCE KBBQ for a reasonable $23 lunch special. GUI gui also has a location in Rowland Heights. A few of the proteins need to be ordered through the server, but many marinated meats are available at a self-serve bar. There is also an appetizer/Banchan bar (although if recommend focusing on the proteins instead). I was intrigued by the tiny corn tortillas as an alternative to a rice paper wrap, but the tortillas were hard to wrap and fell apart easily. Overall meat quality is soso, more fat and less protein. I really like the marinades and prefer these to non-flavored proteins. The regular brisket and marinated brisket are both somewhat fatty (see picture), with about half of the area being fat. It will cook down and help to lubricate the grill surface. I also find the brisket slices to be slightly thicker than usual, which is okay with me since brisket cooks quite fast usually. The marinade for the brisket and pork belly is close to a gochujang, with generous amounts of sauce used. This was great for flavor, though did lead to more splattering on the grill. To me the real stars were the already marinaded proteins from the self-service bar. These are immersed in the sauce and so to intake the flavor strongly. I also like that I can choose how much of each protein to get, so I can ensure I get only as much as I want. Really liked the beef bulgogi, as well as the marinated pork stir fry. Marinated pork ribs and pork belly were solid, I just prefer other proteins instead. For sides the salad was okay, dumplings should be skipped, cheese-corn is fun to cook but has more cheese (so next time I would take a bit off before cooking), salted edamame was basic.
Easily one of the better KBBQ spots in the area and the prices are GREAT! For the first timer, they have 3 menus to chose from for different price points. Menu A- Larger selection/better quality meats 49.99 per person Menu b- moderate selection of meats (39.99 pp) Menu c- 29.99 per person and has a good meat selection (bulgogi, brisket, shrimp, chicken, etc) this is the option we choose and it was GREAT! Also all 3 menus include unlimited sides Kimchi, Steamed egg and potato salad were our favorites!! Service was great, very attentive and helpful! They come and replace your grill frequently! All servers seemed nice! Also order yourself the Blond Lager to share its so good and pairs perfectly with KBBQ! Ambiance is typical of a KBBQ restaurant and we will return! We went on a Friday night, it was busy but not crazy busy! If you were thinking about KBBQ in La habra this is the place to go! We will be back! Thanks again!
F O O D My sister and I came for their $19.99 lunch special earlier this year and were pleasantly surprised (I think the price has increased since we've gone). They had yummy cuts of meat that weren't too fatty and a serve yourself bar of sides. There were meats that you can also serve yourself but certain cuts can only be ordered through the server. S E R V I C E We came during their lunch special and service was no bueno even though the restaurant wasn't full. We kept having to flag the server down for drink refill or grill change. We honestly weren't checked on unless we waved someone down. It was busy, but not THAT busy. L O C A T I O N I thought it was sort of random in a plaza next to Italian food and with Dollar Tree and TJMaxx, but there was plenty of parking and while business was steady, it wasn't crazy busy.
Lunch prices went up by $3 but still worth it. The quality meats, excellent service and clean facilities make up for it. A tablet is conveniently located by the door to sign in. Pleasant servers will welcome you in and give you instructions to take a photo of the QR code by your table for the menu (list of meats). Everyone is just smiling, welcoming and accommodating. No more of the paper / plastic menu that feels sticky and dirty on your hands. A bar of commonly ordered meats and sides is accessible. A button to order special meats is conveniently located by your table too. The women's facilities.... I'm impressed. CLEAN! Just one advice: Please provide hand sanitizers by the bar area. We will be back!
We wanted some KBBQ AYCE and decided to check out this place. They have plenty if parking located in a strip plaza. We chosed the $29 meal deal. Lots of meat to choose from. We like the bulgogi the most followed by chicken marinated and the brisket. Service was good. They were attentive. The place was ok. They could use some new pads on the booths. They have a couple of kid games up front for entertainment while waiting for a table I assume. Overall food was good. Go give them a try.
Gui Gui is a great spot to fulfill your kbbq cravings! I typically go for the brisket & beef belly only anyways and it is only $29.99 (Menu C) for dinner! There's plenty of the average sides like mashed potato, kimchi, steamed egg, soups, etc. The quality of the meat was pretty good. The brisket was a little thicker than other kbbq spots so I felt like I couldn't eat as many rounds. Beef belly is standard. I wouldn't recommend the thinly sliced pork belly because it was SUPER thin which made it kind of stuck to the grill. Overall, it was an average kbbq spot to fulfill your cravings. Service was pretty quick and on valentines weekend, there was surprisingly no wait!

Such a good KBBQ spot in La Habra! The meat was fresh, flavorful, and there was a great variety to choose from. Everything cooked up perfectly on the grill, and we definitely left FULL. I also loved all the banchan that came with the meal -- kimchi, cucumber kimchi, glass noodle, salad, macaroni salad, bean sprouts, and more. There were so many different sides and sauces to pair with the meats, and they kept the table stocked throughout our meal. The staff was super attentive, everything came out quickly, and the overall atmosphere was fun and casual. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whenever I'm craving KBBQ! read more

Honestly so surprised that have a $23 lunch price and it's available even on the weekends, which is honestly hard to find. I went with the $40 combo and you get unlimited meat, plus they have an AYCE meat bar where you can serve yourself and grab even more meat. Everything we tried tasted fresh and the quality of the meat was really good. I feel like you get so much food for what you pay here, and the weekend lunch deal makes it even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving KBBQ and especially when we're on a budget since $23 lunch price is such a cool deal read more

Gui Gui 9292 continues to impress! This spot is still the go-to for an affordable, fun, and absolutely satisfying Korean BBQ experience. Starting at $22.99 for all-you-can-eat, you really can't beat the value--especially with the variety they offer. The vibe is just as chill and welcoming as ever. It's perfect for groups, date night, or just when you're seriously craving KBBQ. I especially love the self-serve meat bar in the back--it's stocked with marinated pork belly, beef, chicken, and even sides like fried rice and gyoza. I like that this place doesn't rush you, and the laid-back atmosphere really makes it feel like a hangout rather than just a meal. Great service, good food, and good music!. read more

Affordable, fresh, and so worth it! They have a $22.99 AYCE lunch special every day, and the meat quality is genuinely fresh, Brisket, pork belly, and marinated cuts are all solid, and they bring out your orders fast. The service is friendly and quick, and there's lots of parking. It's spacious inside, so it's great for groups or casual lunch meetups. Also, if it's your birthday, you eat free--such a fun deal to take advantage of. If you're craving KBBQ that won't break the bank but still want good quality and a chill vibe, this is your spot. read more

If you're craving all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, 9292 Gui Gui is the spot! The AYCE BBQ starts at just $22.99, and the quality of the meats is impressive. They've also added new menu items like ramen, pho, kimchi fried rice, and sushi--everything is fresh and flavorful. The drinks deal is a nice bonus too: buy one, get the second 50% off, including alcoholic drinks. Great vibe, friendly staff, and perfect for a casual night out with friends or family. Definitely coming back! read more

Right off the bat I loved the little claw machines and the way it was decorated! The staff was very kind and gave us some grace seeing as I was reuniting with some friends we ended up talking after we were done with our food. Love them for letting us do that. They also politely dropped the bill once we hit the 2 hour mark. And the food was delicious. I was very surprised with the options they had at the bar (some meat you order from a server and some you grab yourself from the bar) they had pickled onions, tortillas, onion rings, and even rice cakes (although those were a little too mushy for my taste). My favorite was the cheese corn. I'll definitely be coming back here again. read more

My +1 discovered this spot and loved it! Gui Gui is located in a large strip mall plaza area but is not hard to find. The place was super packed, but we were able to find parking and found our way in. It wasn't busy inside but there was a kiosk that told us how to add our names to the waitlist. It said C 10-15 minutes, but as soon as we walked outside, we were flagged down by one of the waiters who said that he could get us in right away. They had a lunch special for $25 a person, which I appreciated. There was a slightly smaller AYCE menu to pick from, but we didn't even get through half of it. Some of the premium items, like beef, belly and brisket, had to be ordered directly from the server, but everything else like your standard pork belly, beef, Bulgogi, chicken, etc. not to mention the sides, we're freely available at the buffet where you help yourself. Our server was attentive, but not overbearing, helped us with our first order, and then we load it up at the buffet. He even came around and helped us with some of the pork, which he showed us how to cut to make it easier to cook The food was delicious and everything I look for for AYCE Korean barbecue. We were glad we stopped by, and plan on coming back again. read more
I was a regular here before it changed to Gui Gui 9292 and fnally came here for the $19.99. AYCE lunch which is good 7-days a week. The staffing was good and with so many self serve food items now, the staff can focus on changing grills (which they did often without asking) and getting the non-marinated meats from the back. And, there is a hot bar of food including duk-bo-gi (no hard boiled eggs though since they are expensive now). This is a tough deal to beat and if you can't make it for lunch, it's $25.99 for dinner so still a good deal. Check out my pics. read more
Tried Set B at Gui Gui 9292 in Rowland Heights and the meat was flavorful, especially the beef belly, and the sides like tteokbokki and corn cheese were tasty from the bar. The self-serve meat bar is a fun touch, and staff were friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking in the large lot out front makes it convenient. Fair pricing and a modern, spacious setting make this a solid spot for groups or casual BBQ cravings. Reservations recommended on weekends. Definitely coming back! read more

This is an insane deal. I believe this is Rowland's cheapest ayce coming in with a lunch menu for $22 7 days a week!! The meat was actually amazing quality, and the banchan was all very authentic. I literally have no complaints, they had everything I was looking for. 9292 is Korean approved!!! read more
My group and I were excited to try this place but only came to be disappointed by the slow service. The meats were fine, nothing to be excited about as we knew what we were getting with the $25.99/person dinner special. We enjoyed the banchan thoroughly and loved the variety. We suspect that the restaurant may be severely understaffed as there was a call button on the wall adjacent to our table that had to be repeatedly pressed to get the attention of a server for grill changes, meat orders, and water/banchan refills. We were first on the waitlist and got sat but was serviced after a table that was next after us. We didn't receive water and had to ask for it. They offer the sliced meats to be delivered to the table and then a self serve station with other meat options such as pork belly, pork jowl, and bulgogi along with some sauces, rice paper, radish, and fried appetizers. We could not get past the slow service that ended up diminishing our dining experience. Having to ring the call button multiple times should not have to be done when you serve in a AYCE environment. The servers seemed stressed and overworked leading to them coming up short with their tables. I would highly suggest going to another KBBQ place down the road that will give you a much more elevated experience. read more
Lunch special is worth the visit if you're like me and enjoy the basic cuts. We came before the lunch rush around when they opened, but the place filled up quickly on a Saturday. By the time we left a line had formed. Quality of the meat is perfect for the price. There is also a self service area where you can get the pork belly, rice paper, sesame oil, and other things. I mainly ordered the brisket. Note that steamed egg will cost extra. read more

Great lunch special priced at $22.99 (available 7 days a week which is pretty rare) and they have a DIY taco station! The taco station is so unique and definitely worth trying to elevate the meal! Good vibes, decent service, and you can queue via yelp waitlist. There are two locations La Habra + Rowland Heights! read more
