    Chipotle but wayyyy better. They also have a kids meal if you don't want a big serving
    Anthony A.

    Bulgogi bowl! They have a kids size if you don't want a big serving that's filling. They have burritos, salads and bowls with different types of meat. Would recommend if you're wanting to grab something fast and good

    The Hangar front of building

    Stopped by for lunch out in Long Beach with the Oakland Ballers. Ended up picking Marinate Korean BBQ and decided on the Bulgogi Burrito. This was an instant hit. Full of flavor, spicy pork with kimchi, jalapeños and fresh added ingredients. The sauce had a great kick to it. Very impressed from a fast food joint. Service was very quick and friendly. In an open fast food market style location with plenty of options. Vibe is full of different folks looking for some great food to eat.

    Bulgogi Bowl: holy cow; this is a huge bowl! Definitely worth the visit

    Bulgogi Bowl; easy service, lots of options for customization, and chill staff! Quick delicious KBBQ spot Definitely worth the visit!

    For lovers of Korean BBQ Bowls, I have the spot for you. The bulgogi is strong with its umami flavor, a bit garlic tasting--smoky & sweet paired with the steamed vegetables that feel like the perfect Asian meal of the day. I love the inside of the restaurant because of how modern the vibes feel and the cleanliness of the place. Because the restaurant is in the Hangar Hall, the chairs would be outside of the restaurant where you order. The options of vegetables and garnish are simply shown on display--where you can pick and choose what you like. My full order is a Bulgogi Bowl White Rice and addons are onions, broccoli, lettuce, corn and Bulgogi sauce. The bowl made me full in just one bite, and honestly, it was amazing. But don't worry about how full it will make you because the choice of how you make it is entirely up to you. Lastly, the staff were so kind and gave many recommendations to newer customers. The service is absolutely amazing. I had no complaints so far in my experience. Thank you, Marinate Korean BBQ for providing me a welcoming experience. Hoping to come again soon.

    Raw chicken
    Monique F.

    Beware! I was served raw chicken last night and only noticed it when I was chewing. Outdoor space is so dimly lit I didn't notice till the chicken was in my mouth. When I brought it to the employees attention he didn't offer an apology and asked if I wanted a refund or a new bowl. I said I needed both he said no. After a back and forth he agreed again with no apology. Terrible costumer service and a major public health risk

    Solid place! Alexa helped me out and was super helpful in answering my questions. Big portions, and relatively cheap price. My tofu bowl ran me $14. Great service!

    Bulgogi
    Nina E.

    This burrito was large and in charge! So many flavors. ... It's super filling high in protein and delicious!! At first I thought $20 for a burrito. And that's a little steep, but now that i've had it, I think it's worth it.Because you could easily turn one burrito into two meals.

    Great beef bowl. Tasted fresh and fast to order. Kids like it so it was easy to feed them

    Michael M.

    Horrible customer service. Cashier is telling me he needs. To see a review before he provides me a free drink. Then says he needs to see if it's a one or two star review Also, ridiculous to charge $1.50 for jalapeños. Never again

The parking is hard since it's in the area of Long Beach with lots of condos, so you are fighting to find a place. Once we got inside we noticed it was empty, not a soul in sight except the cashier. We ordered a hainan chicken and a bowl of chicken noodle with ground noodle (sub egg noodle). They only offered dark meat or ground chicken, kind of sad as a chicken place. The broth was not rich and the chicken on the drier side. The pieces did not look like it came from the same chicken (usually it'll form the shape of whatever they cut up, but presentation was not their strong suit). The sauces for the hainan was on the saltier side and not as good as other places. The rice... Did they not throw in broth for it to cook? I did not taste much chicken flavor. The noodles, it's intended to be on the blander side, that's fine. The noodle though... It was as if they could've cooked a bit longer, they seemed to stick together and was not quite al dente so I stirred them around for about a minute to break it apart. Ground chicken, nothing special to season it with, at least it did not have chicken stench. Lastly, the door was left open, the amount of flies coming in was a lot. It was off putting. The neighborhood does not appear friendly or safe as the front door was boarded up. Also a sign saying there is no cash here (implying lots of robberies/burglers). I don't like giving low ratings, but the reviews for this place weren't... Convinencing.
