    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.

    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!

    Raw chicken

    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!

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

    Bulgogi

    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.

    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

I asked her to check with her manager, she came back 5 minutes later and stated her Manager does not know the answer as well. I find that quite odd Hmmmm .. Overall the food quality is great. The negative things on my visit are. 1. It was warm inside the restaurant which made it uncomfortable. 2. Only one small restroom 3. Prices are a tad on the expensive side. $19 to $20 a bowl. 4. I believe management was not being honest regarding my question about being a Michellin Star rated restaurant. How are you in management and dont know the status of your own restaurant? Honesty is the best policy. Good thing, food was good and everyone was friendly. Overall, i would come back because the food is good and the place does not get crowded.
