    The Hangar front of building
    Mike D.

    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

    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!

    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

    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

    UPDATE: damn. The food is inconsistent…read more.. Got an order on a Monday night and maybe it was off but the chicken wings were funky-- not lightly fried with the taste of sauce as they had done before. the pulled pork was dry as a bone and the paper thin pieces of tri-tip were like paper. Smoked paper. The baked beans were kind of meh I do like the cornbread and coleslaw but after this I'm gonna keep looking. One BIG issue is the prices are also inconsistent, cheaper in the online app, higher in the store cash register system and even higher on the printed menu. They need to fix that because I don't like arguing over prices with the counter help... But I will. MY ORIGINAL REVIEW WAS MUCH BETTER Love this place, it's low-key and local and has killer barbecue, tasty sides and more. Staff is super nice and friendly, I just call in my order and it's ready in minutes. So far I've only gotten the wings and SMOKED CHICKEN YUMMM plus sides like mac & cheese, coleslaw and greens are delicious. And I love their cornbread, it's generous and freezes well so you can have it later in the week for breakfast! If you have any leftovers!

    Visited the 10th's Corner location and it wasn't too busy inside. I ordered two 2-meat meals with…read morebrisket and tri-tip plus sides, one 1-meat lunch with brisket and potato salad, and a kids meal brisket slider. Unfortunately, once I got home, I realized the order wasn't correct. I received 3 mac & cheeses and 3 baked beans, but NO potato salad, which I specifically ordered with the 1-meat meal. My biggest disappointment was the kids brisket slider. It does NOT appear or taste like brisket at all--it seems to be a regular hamburger patty. I even specifically asked the young lady at the register if the slider was brisket , and she confirmed that it was. If this is actually a hamburger being sold as a brisket slider, that's very misleading and disappointing. I would like that portion of my order corrected or refunded. That said, there were definitely some positives. The baked beans were loaded with meat and had great flavor. I haven't tried the mac & cheese yet, but the brisket was VERY tender, and the spicy BBQ sauce was delicious! The food I actually received and tried was good, but for an order this large, getting the correct sides and the correct meat--especially after specifically confirming what I was ordering--matters. Hopefully the restaurant can address the issue with the kids meal and improve order accuracy.

Although we were the only ones on the patio, it was spacious and hard lots of covered seating to keep from summer heat. They do require you to give them your driver license to sit in the patio ( we understand why lol) Our server was very friendly and helpful. I originally ordered the bbq nachos and he said the portion for the one on the menu is meant for 2 people and offered a smaller one ( half the price). So glad he did because the half one was plenty. I rather enjoyed the nacho , comes with brisket ( very tasty and tender meat). Fiancé ordered the St Louise rib n meat. He picked brisket as his 2nd meat and his choice of side was Mac n cheese and coleslaw. I didn't try his order, but he said it was all delicious.

I would ask other servers for help and they said they would let our server know. 4. Food Quality is lacking. Ribs and brisket were dry as if they were leftovers. The "Award Winning Chili" has no flavor, spice or heat. Maybe my expectations are higher since I do smoke meat on my own and didn't know what quality was until now.

Onion rings with the housemade ranch is fire too on the side. Had heard some good things about this spot so decided to stop by with the fam for a random dinner. It's a smaller hole-in-the-wall spot but with lots of open space so it doesn't feel too cramped. Parking isn't necessarily the easiest, but I didn't have to wait, just know most of the street parking is paid M-F between 10am-7pm. (1st 15 minutes is free though). This spot was the perfect blend of order/pay first for bomb food. Service was fast even though it was just one person manning both the cashier and service. Jackie was so great and had a great smile and was so nice to even my kids which was a big plus. I loved the food and it's not like typical "Texas BBQ" which I actually liked. The meat didn't feel overly saturated in fat or greasy but was still so tender. Maybe it's because I'm Asian, but "real" Texas BBQ joints or American BBQ spots tend to feel too heavy for me and I don't feel good after eating. This place wasn't different. The brisket could easily be cut with just a fork and that's solid for me. The gochujang pork belly was better than most KBBQ spots I've tried. and dare I say, I think they had the best tasting fries I've had... like it's hard to explain, but the slightest lemon pepper seasoning with the perfect crisp on outside to potato inside was just so on-point. I had to fight my kids over the last couple fries. Make sure to get the spicy and secret BBQ sauces they have in the center along with purple slaw and jalapeño sides. It complements the meat so nicely. Price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get. All in all, everything is so well seasoned without feeling overly salty with great balance across their dishes. I'll definitely be back.

After waiting over an hour, we still only received about half of our order. About 40 minutes into the wait, I was told they were out of chicken, which meant I never received the chicken and waffles I ordered. I also never received my baked beans. I understand that restaurants can run out of items, but I wish we had been told much sooner instead of waiting that long. What makes this even more disappointing is the amount of money we spent, and as you can see from our receipt, we tipped very well. We came in wanting to support the business and have a good experience. Unfortunately, between the long wait, missing food, and the quality of what we did receive, I honestly don't feel the experience was worth the money. We were also visiting from out of town and specifically chose this place, so it was disappointing to spend such a large part of our visit waiting for food we ultimately didn't receive. I really feel that some type of refund or compensation should have been offered, especially for the items we paid for but never received. I do want to be fair and mention that they gave us complimentary water and banana pudding, which we appreciated. However, it didn't make up for waiting over an hour and not receiving our complete order. Would I come back? Maybe, but only once things are more organized and structured. I really wanted to enjoy and support this place, but this experience was just too much. For the amount of time and money we spent including leaving a generous tip I expected much better.
