    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

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    My go-to KBBQ place!…read more Firstly, If you eat outside, you can use the grill. If you go indoors, they will bring the food cooked out for you. So during the warmer days, you may want to weigh out whether you prefer cooking your own food or if you want air conditioning. The food here is very delicious! We had the moo package which is primarily beef. There were various appetizers to try and the package was more than enough for 5 of us. Ambiance is pretty relaxed, you get your usuals or people new to KBBQ. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, happy to explain anything so you don't have to be a KBBQ pro to dine here. The service is good, better when it's busier since they check in more frequently. When it's slower you may have less check-in's from the staff, probably due to less staff during slower hours. There IS parking in the rear but the spaces can be kind of tight so finding parking truly depends on the time of day you go. Overall, I am never disappointed here and I recently brought someone here who wasn't a fan of KBBQ and this experience won him over. I even got promised to be brought back again! Definitely worth making a visit, highly recommend.

It was 90 degrees outside, hoping that inside would be in the 70s which was not the case. Made our stay uncomfortable. Regardless, ordered 2 Ramen bowls, pork and chicken flavor. Also ordered a pork bun. Watermelon cucumber flavor water was served as complimentary. Was refreshing! 15 mins later we received our soups and pork bun. All tasted very good! No complaints toward the quality of food being served. I asked our waitress if this restaurant still had a Michellin star rating? Her response, I dont know and I think so. 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.
