I like this place. Pretty good customer service. The portions are monstrous, but the prices match the portions for once. This place seems to be extremely popular though at times, because the wait can be long. They also don't take phone orders, you'd have to do some sort of Uber Eats/DoorDash to do an order in advance. My favorite is the spicy garlic shrimp. I do recommend it. read more

We came to this place as it was recommended when we were in search of something similar to this korean bbq spot that is found in Hawaii. As far as the food is concerned, they meet the mark. Everything was tasty and being able to build your plate exactly as you want it is incredible. The meat was flavorful and tender. The sides were also very tasty. The restaurant itself offers no seating and is a to-go based experience which is completely fine. The food took about 15-20 minutes to be completed from ordered as I believe it is made to order, I would recommend calling ahead to place your order, or ordering online to save some time. The reason the review is only 4 stars as opposed to 5, is because the service was not the greatest. The gentleman who took our order was very short and appeared as if he was annoyed with any questions or that he had to be there in the first place. Typically, service isn't that important to me as long as the food is good, especially when not at a sit down, fine dining type of place. Also, the prices were definitely on the higher side but not insane. The smaller of the two sizes is what I had ordered and is in the attached photo, perfectly fine for 1 person, or 2 who do not eat a-lot at a time. read more

Hippo Grill Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

What initially was going to be a 4-star review, 2-stars is more worthy especially when good customer service is lacking and bad attitude prevails. We recently discovered this spot when we were searching for a meat jun spot nearby. When calling in your order is not an option, but either in person or ordering online is, then you'd expect that you can place an order online with no added hassle. If you order in person, expect to wait at least 15 minutes or more. On multiple occasions when trying to place an order online, it says online orders were no longer being accepted. On the most recent visit when I wasn't able to order online again, I went to Hippo Grill to place my order. I asked the guy taking orders if he was aware that their online system is not accepting orders...he said yes, he knew because they're unable to handle online orders plus walk-ins. When I expressed my disappointment, he told me that I don't need to order from them and can go somewhere else. I was shocked that this guy had the nerve to say this. I told him that since their food is good, we continue to support them but may no longer be a choice. When I went back in to get my order, the guy asked me if I was still "hangry." No, I was not hangry and I told him he didn't need to be an asshole earlier. When customers are THE heart and soul of your business, you may want to think first before you open mouth and say the wrong thing to a repeat customer who will no longer support your business. You will lose business like you did ours. No matter how good your food may be, Las Vegas is the mecca of food. We will easily find better meat jun from a business who will appreciate their customers and their loyalty. read more

This has lived up to all of the hype. The meat jun is so ono! Reminds me of home. And to have your choice of multiple sides...oh yeah We ordered the mini spicy pork plate and the regular meat jun. the difference was the amount of rice and sides you get. We will definitely be back for more and add this to our list regular joints to visit in Las Vegas. read more

This was our first time visiting Hippo Grill. They are very friendly however it is weird that you are not able to sample the sides. We weren't asking to sample all of them just one. They advised they don't do samples. Either way we figured why not let's give it a try. It did not disappoint..... we ordered 2 different mixed plates. Since they don't have tables available they advised they would bring it out once it is done. The overall wait was approximately 15 minutes which isn't bad for good food. The plates had some weight to them to say the least. We had to wait to get home before trying it since they are strictly a take out location but it was still good. Would I say it's the best we've ever had, probably not. Will we be going back anytime soon? Probably not. But if we happen to be on that side of town maybe. read more

Such a good fast-casual spot for some Korean classics. Service is always friendly. The portions are enough to share and most food is cooked hot and ready when you get there. Definitely try a combo. read more

If you're from Hawaii or have had meat jun and are looking for it in Vegas, they have it here! The service is great, friendly and only about a 20 minute wait for food which is cooked when you order. This is strictly a take out establishment, so be prepared to take your food home to enjoy, or find a nearby park (true Hawaii style). I'd never been here however had quite a few friends from Hawaii mention it. They've said "plate portions are large enough to share". It is technically true however portion sizes have changed and are not as big as they (apparently) used to be. My husband and I shared the regular meat jun, which includes rice and 4 side dishes of your choice, along with a 5 piece order of fried mandoo. The plate was enough for us to share, along with our toddler (who decided to just eat the sides) however we would have expected more given the $22 price of the plate. Overall, delicious food. Though, I personally prefer my meat jun sauce to have a spice to it. It's not bad just not my preference for sauce. It's a bit far from my house so I probably won't be back for a while. read more

This is like Subway for Korean grilled food, but the food quality is very high. We have been coming here for a few years now and this review is well past due. First note that this is a takeout only place. You can't dine in. Also, note they will cook your food to order. The food isn't sitting on a hot food line, so be prepared to wait (or you can order online, but they don't take phone orders). The main option is to pick your meat(s): chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp. Then you either get 2 sides (mini) or 4 sides (regular) plus rice. When I was there people two people came in and got minis... I didn't understand.. for a few bucks more you get more food which heats up really well for second or third meals :) The sides are so good here. You have your choice of in house made banchan (e.g., kimchi, bean sprouts, japchae, potatoes, mac salad.. and way more to list... that's what i should've taken a picture of). We've tried a lot of the menu, but my go to is the spicy pork. It's full of flavor and is a lot of meat. Their meat jun is also a great option if you're feeling beef. I will say the times I've had the chicken, I've not been as happy (consider that it's sitting while you get home or somewhere where you can eat so maybe that's it). The service staff is always friendly. This isn't fast food, but it's well worth the wait! read more

After coming here many times, I was compelled to write a review. My interaction with JB or JD- whatever it is; well I'm delighted to say, it was very personable, and informative. The food, as always.. it's amazing, no doubt about that, but today; simply amazing! The meat Jun was absolutely flavorful and cooked to perfection, my all time favorite; plus the side dishes, never lack flavor! All-together, I would always recommend this place to anyone looking for some hearty Korean food; this place is well worth it. Also, whoever is complaining about prices, get over yourself- it's 2026, nothing is going down, everything goes up; if anything, this place has gone up, in flavor baby! Highly recommend, great local spot, worth the wait, worth the drive, worth your dime! read more

Hippo Grill Korean BBQ - Meat Jun - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This is my go to spot to pick up food when I don't have time to cook. There is a balance of carbs, protein, and veggies, My favorite is the meat Jun- a dish you don't find very often! It's beef thin sliced fried in egg. It comes with an amazing dipping sauce! The portions here are huge- you get protein, rice and 4 sides. I usually pick the fish cake, jap chae, kimchi, and cucumber. read more

Hippo Grill Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I am an absolute fan of Hippo Grill! One of the things I missed after moving here from Hawaiʻi, was the ability to walk into one of the Korean restaurants and walk out with a mixed plate of food and a smile on my face. Hippo Grill has since filled that void. Its a small restaurant where you'd pick up your food and take out to enjoy elsewhere, but totally worth it. Once you pick which plate you would want, I recommend getting the 2 choice combo so you can try a few different dishes as the portions are large! There are many side dishes to choose from after you pick your proteins, I believe 4 choices are the standard for the mixed plate. The Meat Jun is an absolute MUST when ordering - the flavor is so rich and hearty, and their sauce is delicious. Garlic shrimp lives up to its name with just a hint of spice. For sides - always get the potato salad and japchae (Korean glass noodles) The food speaks for itself, but th service is even better. I ran into a couple issues with a double order I made via Uber Eats, and they were so quick to help me over the phone and get things sorted with my pickup order. It took a bit of a run around, but the gentleman that answered the phone made sure we got it right read more

The food here is fresh and flavorful and their employees are warm and friendly. We ordered the garlic chicken, bbq chicken and meat jun plates and they were all delicious. Lots of parking in the front of the restaurant, so you (probably) won't be fighting people off for a spot. Highly recommend this place if you're ever in the area! read more

The best meat jun and spicy porkbelly in town. The sauce and side dishes are amazing. Huge portions that typically feed me for 3 meals.

We ordered food for pick up and never been here before. I ordered garlic shrimp and Korean chicken. All my sides were great but my potato salad was different from what I was expecting. The garlic shrimp was so good and garlicy. The consistency was also good. They give good portions. Will definitely try again next time. read more

Feed your inner hungry hippo here! Came here on and off and after coming two weeks in a row recently, I got to share the love for Hippo Grill! The portions are huuuuuuge here! They are serving up delicious meals with great value! You can pick between a mini or regular plate at this to-go establishment. The mini comes with 2 sides, while the regular comes with 4 sides. The garlic shrimp has been my go to lately! The sauce reminds me somewhat of a Cajun boil and perfect on rice!! I got the meat jun before and the portion of meat was humongous! Be prepared to wait a little for your food. It is made to order and worth the 10 min wait or so. Happy Hippo eating!!! :) read more

Pricey but a lot of food To be honest, I had to sit here for a while and decide on what to rate this place because it wasn't bad and was just alright. It's like and LnL barbecue place, but Korean style I paid over $30 for a combination meal the Jakob was an extra $12 and it was just OK. I would rather go to an all you can eat barbecue spot then come here. There's no seating so you either so it's only takeout. I can't really rate the service here as they just take your order and then you leave. I will most likely not come back to this place read more

Yesterday I placed an order at 230pm for pickup at 6pm through Doordash. I received a text at 545pm stating that they had cancelled my order and with no explanation. I was already headed there n figured they made a mistake so just go n check on my order. Low n behold i get there and yes the gentleman said he cancelled my order. The explanation he gave me was, that i indicated in the special instructions that i wanted my sides to be in a separate container & since they don't they do that, he cancelled my order!!! Was i upset, you dam right i was. There were many ways you could've fixed that issue & I'm not even in the food industry. No, he just cancelled my order!!!! read more

I had 2 bad experiences here. The first they ran out of Kalbi & bulgogi so I went elsewhere. The 2nd time I went it was horrible customer service & the employees need to be retrained. When I arrived it was completely empty but the worker told me I would have to wait 15 minutes because he had to work on online orders so he won't be servicing anyone in the store?????? That doesn't make sense for me to actually be at the counter and the only person in the store but I'm waiting to just place an order in person.... Very horrible customer service. I won't be back read more

I have been here a few times since their opening and enjoy the place. When they first opened, they were accepting phone orders, but now it seems they don't anymore which is kind of a bummer because the food takes a bit time to cook and there is nowhere inside the store to sit down and wait for the food. Besides that downside, the food is great. I love their spicy pork belly and their regular size is honestly a good portion that it feeds me and my boyfriend. It's also great that you have a variety of sides to choose from. I also enjoy their Fried Mandoo with their sauce. It tastes great and is usually cooked really well. My brother loves the Bulgogi Fries. Itasted has a little kick to it, but their sauce is great. Overall, food and portion size is great. Definitely wished they took phone orders for convenience, but I would recommend if you don't mind waiting! read more

I come to this place quite often, because it reminds me of Yummy's back home. It seems like they have new management now because I noticed that the prices of the meal have gone up slightly but the amount of Meat Jun that is given is less; and they cut it now, to make it look like you're getting a lot. The old mini meat jun plate, you'd get 2 slabs of meat and the regular plate you get 4 slabs. Today when I got my plate, I got it cut up and it was equivalent to 2 and a half slabs for a regular. If you're going to raise prices, at least keep the amount of food you give the same. PI still absolutely love the place but that issue was bothering. read more

3 stars for fast service and the owner was very accommodating since I was in a rush and the perks ahead of me placed a big order. The issue was that the broccoli bahnchon was very salty and the short ribs were thin and over cooked. Some of the pieces were burnt and bitter. It might have been one off since the cook just got hit with a large order and needed to prepare mine quickly. read more

Hippo Grill Korean BBQ - Meat June (Reg) wish has 4 sides: Japchae, Potato Salad, cabbage salad, cucumber kimchi! - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've had Hippo Grill bookmarked for a little bit and after my husband's friend recommended it we decided to finally try it. Inside is small, it's basically just a counter and there's nowhere to sit. All the sides are displayed cafeteria style and as soon as I saw all their lovely deliciousness I knew we made a good choice. My son and I shared the friend chicken, which was crunchy outside and juicy inside. We both liked it. My husband ordered bulgogi beef and shrimp. He liked the beef but thought the shrimp was spicy even though he ordered mild. What really stole the show were all the sides though. I ordered kimichi cucumbers, bean sprout salad, pickled radishes and Mac salad and loved all of them. My husband also had the corn and cabbage salad which were delicious and the sweet potato fries were awesome. Portions were big too and the woman at the counter packed everything carefully and with thought, venting the fried chicken so it wouldn't get soggy. We will definitely be going back. read more

Hippo Grill Korean BBQ - Galbi, mando, Korean fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Upon arrival, the restaurant is clean and service is inviting. It is a Panda Express style where there are different types of meals. The prices are based on the cost of the entree, which comes with brown or white rice and the number of sides. Their menu offers most classics of Korean bbq at an affordable price for the portion size. They are also incredibly allergy friendly and confirm multiple times if you are okay with something if you mention it. They also offer a variety of canned beverages for offer, which includes Korean and Hawaiian so there is something for everyone. With regards to the food, the sides are all cold but do pack nice flavor and texture. I got the bulgogi, which was pretty plentiful and flavorful over rice for $20. I would definitely return to this spot for a different item in the future as depending on how much you eat. You will probably have leftovers potentially. read more

This place is a small place to order and go. Just great for take outs, it has no tables or chairs to sit down and eat. This place can get very busy, so I recommend order in. The food is ALWAYS good,the meats are well seasoned and well cooked. The sides are also always good. Never had a bad experience in this place. This is our go to if we want some Korean without going to a Korean bbq house. The pricing is $$$ for a plate but every penny is worth it and the portions are good to share with. All I can say is I recommend this place, all the food is good. My families favorite is the Kalbi... I also love the spicy shrimp, spicy pork belly etc... it's a must try. read more
