The mac and cheese was pretty bland but a good option for kids. Pandan banana pudding has great pandan flavor but the texture of the cream was a bit foamy.

I'm assuming chicken wasn't as popular but families like ours, where chicken is a preferred meat, will unfortunately not be able to come back bc of the missing healthier option.

All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

*** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

One of the best affordable BBQ places in OC and on our family's list of regular dinner choices…read more We've been going here for years but I was compelled to write a review today because of the extraordinary service I just received. I usually call in an order for pick it up but I needed to finish up some work before dinner and my family wanted BBQ. I didn't have time to drive over there but noticed they now offer delivery so I downloaded their app. I was having trouble adding an item to my cart so I called to ask for help. After trying to walk me through it without success, Cole just offered to personally drop off the order for me. I was totally thinking I was going to let my family down and have to figure out something else. I was shocked that he even offered because I know they are a small shop and can get busy. I assumed they partnered with door dash or Uber eats for their delivery. The cherry on top was that the food got here faster than if I had used door dash Anyhow, it is rare to experience this kind of hospitality these days and thought they deserved the kudos. Thank you for going above and beyond. Our favorites on the menu are the pulled pork, brisket, sausage and chicken.

Review based on delivery... I think it would have been better fresher…read more The cheesy porker came with a side of slaw, that I put directly on it. Would definitely get this sandwich again. The BBQ chicken was alright, a bit dry, but again, this was delivery. The potato salad was not something I'd get again, unfortunately. Not very flavorful.

I also love the people who work here and since I speak the language, I think it helps. But even if you don't, they can understand English. What I hate about this place is the parking. It is extremely stressful during busy times and it always seems busy here. I try to come super early, but even sometimes, it is already busy. This isn't a fault of New Duong Son, but man, when I want BBQ, I have to brace myself coming to this plaza.

Anyways, I've been coming to this place for many years and I do believe they do a great job when it comes to the food. However on my last visit, they gave me the wrong order. I ordered pork belly but received rib belly from another customer. The middle aged man and grumpy was the one that MADE the mistake. I didn't realized I have gotten the wrong order until driving home. I call them saying I got the wrong order and if I can get a refund or dispute because I am not going to pay for something I did not want. Upon calling, they asked if I can drive back and return it but I'm already an hour away on the freeway. They took down my name and number and said they'll redeem the same order in my next visit. Here I am visiting today, and I told them the situation and the same worker talked to me. He started lecturing me that I should've returned the food. "Food is food. If you don't like don't eat"... He continued to talk loudly and making a statement in front of this whole team and all of them looking like I was in the wrong. Excuse you? Did I ask for a box of bones? Weren't YOU the one that made the mistake? How RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL you are to the people helping your business. Please grow up and deal with situations more professionally. Hold yourself accountable for mistakes you made. Your customers are what keeps you in business Uncle. With that being said... I will never come back to this place ever again.

Finally writing a review for this spot after a few visits! We first found this place through Yelp,…read moreand it definitely lives up to the hype. It's located right across from H-Mart in Garden Grove, which makes it super convenient. It can get pretty busy depending on when you go, but I love that you can join the waitlist ahead of time through Yelp--that's a huge plus. They offer different menu tiers (A, B, and C) based on the type and quality of meat you're looking for, so there's something for everyone depending on your budget and appetite. Service here is consistently great. The staff is always attentive, walking around to check if you need more meat or anything else, and everything comes out quickly. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it's well-organized and runs smoothly. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

The types of meat they include are pretty standard. The quality of the meat was good! Everything tasted fresh and clean. I also liked that they have a self serve bar where you can get the usual ban chan side dishes for yourself. I did enjoy that they include tempura squash, which is pretty unique for me, as I've never seen an item like that at other kbbq places. Overall, food was great and I'd come back. This is a good place to get kbbq without breaking the bank. I do wish the ventilation was a bit better though, as the smoke from the grill did get into all of our faces, but this is really just a quibble. I would happily come back!

Finding a good Korean bbq in the Garden Grove area is like a needle in a haystack because there is…read morean abundance of KBBQ restaurants in the area. Doing the appropriate Yelp research can sometimes land you a diamond in the rough find. Since I knew we would be in this area, Chung Dam looked interesting because they have a happy hour special which at first I was not clear how it worked, but when we arrived, the one woman team explained how it worked, and we right away selected our meats and off on our own to the well stocked and great variety self served Ban Chan buffet. Honestly, just that alone, you can get full and be satisfied with it, but you go to a KBBQ for the meats. With the HH menu, there's a limited selection of meats, but our go to are Brisket, beef belly and pork belly. As I mentioned the one woman team for the front of house staff, service was excellent. She single handedly took care of all tables bringing out meat orders, clearing tables and cashing people out, she honestly did better than some other restaurants we've been too with more staff. I definitely would come back here, but again only if I'll be in the area and it has to be during the Happy Hour time block

The pork jowl and pork belly are DIVINE - clearly high quality. Workers hand us a sticker with specs about the preparation and aging process, which is oddly charming and shows how much pride they take in their meat. The staff even cooks everything for us, so we can sit back and stuff our faces. The sides are great too. Tangy pickled or fermented veggies, sweet pineapple, mushrooms, and soups help cut through all that richness from the fat. The pork and kimchi soup especially hits - it's super comforting and balances out the meal. This is also a great alternative if you're craving BBQ but don't have the stomach space for AYCE. These portions leave us full and satisfied every time. Overall, an amazing spot for a casual, pork-centric feast!
