    10/10 !!!! One of the best Korean BBQs in OC! Such affordable price. We chose the lunch menu ( around $30), and their Meat quality is Top Tier . We came in a party of 13 people and the service was AMAZING. Our server today was so kind and sweet, she made sure to check on us and always refill the sauce, the water , change the grill frequently ( we came today 07/02 at lunch time , did not get to ask for her name but she did an excellent job!) Their banchan: AMAZING, must get the crunchy seaweed with mayonaise. Thats Mr. BBQ's specialty. Though I was full, now writing this review makes me hungry again lolol. Highly recommend : chuck eye meat, wagyu beef belly, bulgogi... honestly anything on their menu, was high quality meat, fresh cut and their side dishes like cold noodle , Corn cheese was decent as well. We had such a good time at MrBBQ thank you to the awesome service. And yes Im willing to wait in line just to eat here, they deserve the HYPE and the drive lolol.

    I'm back in California visiting so I had to visit Mr BBQ. This is my favorite Korean bbq restaurant out here! The service was amazing. My server was so attentive and checked on us constantly. I really enjoyed the service. They were playing music and I was cooking and vibing. I was so happy. I ordered bulgogi, brisket, cheese corn, steamed egg, kimchi soup, ribeye steak, extra orders of banchan, and rice. Everything was 10/10. I will definitely be back to this place and hope the vibe never changes. If you want to celebrate your birthday, please come here. You will have a ball!! It's such a vibe!!

    Mr. BBQ is hands down my favorite Korean bbq spot that I've tried! This is an all you can eat spot where you can either go for the standard menu for $44/pp or a premium menu for $55/pp. I went for the premium menu but ordered off both menus and let me say, all the meats here are AMAZING! My favorite meat to order is the galbi--I highly recommend ordering this. Alongside the amazing food, the service and vibes here are great as well. Our server checked on us often, changed our grill without us asking, and brought us sauces throughout our meal for us to try. Wait times here can be long dependent on when you go, so be sure to keep that in mind.

    Place was fairly busy and service was still very quick and attentive. There were a lot of very good banchan dishes. From the lunch menu, we got 1. USDA prime beef brisket* good 2. Marinated USDA choice ribeye too sweet 3. Premium Wagyu beef belly* good 4. Marinated USDA prime chuck eye too sweet 5. Spicy marinated chicken: ok 6. Finely sliced pork belly good 7. spicy garlic pork butt too sweet 8. bean stew good 9. steamed egg ok I can see why it's popular. Overall food was better than expected. It's a bit far but would come back if in the area.

    The wait is just as long as everyone tells you: at least two hours. There is a Boba shop right next-door so my friends and Ithere got a drink and waited it out. This is one of our friends favorite places to come to every time he is in the OC so we had to try it. Honestly, the meat was super high-quality and everything was really good. On the other hand were very low quality in my opinion. The radish paper tasted very old and we told the waiter and he got us new batch, but it was the same and we just did not want to take the risk anymore. The waiter was extremely professional, and so it wasn't his fault. Would come again only if someone really wanted to try it out, but the weight isn't necessarily worth it in my opinion. Atmosphere is pretty fun though, especially for birthdays!

    Mr. BBQ is the best AYCE bbq in all of Orange County. Every meat that came to our table was top tier. Their banchan are on another level too. The kicker though is their spicy house sauce. Whatever they had in there needs to be bottled up and sold. Another plus on this place is the attentiveness of their staff. When we were running low on meat, there would always be someone there to check on us. Most places, when things start to get smoky, it takes a while before you can flag someone down. Here, they already have their spidey senses going and are immediately there with a fresh new grill. Mr. BBQ, if you were closer to me, I'd be a heavy set man. Thank you for being 40 minutes away from my house.

    Great experience and service thanks to Kaipo our server! The wait time was exceptionally long at over 2 hours when checking in at 5 pm on a Saturday. Luckily, our party of 7 utilized the time to catch up and play games as we waited. Since the waitlist is attached to Yelp, you can frequently check your status via the text link or through the app. Once we seated, we ordered immediately. Service was fast, the grill was efficient, and we ran into no issues once we got down to cooking. Kaipo took great care of us, memorized our orders accurately, brought us all the things we needed, and was very kind. We loved getting to know our server, as this made the experience very memorable and personal. Our favorite meats to order were the beef belly and rib fingers. Other notable picks included brisket and fresh pork belly (thick cut pork belly). Steamed egg was also included which was amazing!! Spicy sauce and sesame oil upon request. During our visit, we celebrated a birthday as well. LED sign, sparkler candle, and ice cream was brought out accompanying a song choice/artist that we liked. This was a special birthday and very celebratory. Only downside to this restaurant is parking can be tough. The lot is small and they share it with another small dessert spot that reserves 3 spots, in addition to take out and check in parking reserved spots as well. Leaving only the back area and one row in the front, you may need to wait around to park or get dropped off. Dinner price currently is $43.99 and premium dinner is $54.99. No drinks included.

    Heads up, the parking lot is brutal and shared for 2 businesses. Carpool as much as possible during peak times! Came here for my friend's birthday with a party of 7 and had a great time. Apparently this is THE spot for birthdays. They bump the speakers and serve a huge sparkler with the complimentary ice cream, I think every 15 minutes we heard it go off during our time here lol. Good vibes. It's a bit on the pricier side (what isn't nowadays ) but they make up for it with a strong selection. We got the premium ayce menu which is about $55 per person. Some highlights: Scallop (premium menu only) - at first I was a bit skeptical but this is a must try if you like scallops. Juicy and well marinated - delicious and smoky after cooking. The rib and new york strip are also well-sized and very satisfying to eat. Classic staples like beef belly and tongue are solid too. Service was excellent - everyone was very friendly and attentive. Overall, highly recommend

    so many sides!!

    we had a great experience today at Mr. BBQ! we came right at 11 so we didn't have to wait any time to be seated. As soon as we sat down, they brought out so many sides, we were surprised, and all of them were delicious. It is premium AYCE, i highly recommend the woobaesal! Cherry on top was our waiter, Weston, who was so attentive and friendly. We had amazing time!

    Drinks are cool definitely a Vegas vibe

    Drinks are good, but it is a really long wait they send an hour and we've been here for an hour and 45 minutes already

    I've been to Mr. BBQ several times. Always had a good experience when I could get in. Biggest problem with the place is the frequent long waits. But this review is primarily about my most recent experience with the service. We were waited on by Aaron D. and he was on top of things from the beginning. Often anticipating our needs, observant, and never intrusive. The service was perfect. He made the experience better than any in the past. I wanted to make sure he was properly recognized. We'll be back more often with service like that!

    All the sides

    First off I'm a not a KBBQ guy but this is special. Service was way better than that other KBBQ place in Fullerton... beautiful interior with fun atmosphere and the meats were fantastic. Sooooo much better than any other KBBQ place I've been too. The serve was quick with everything and hostess's were quick and super nice. Give it a try worth the price. And only $29.99 for lunch!!!!! What a deal. Stay away from that other trash chain KBBQ in Fullerton. Thank me later

    They have pretty crazy wait times and lines. Came to eat here at 7pm on a Friday night, my friend waitlisted us at 5pm. Honestly would not have ate here if I had to wait here for so long. Could be very loud at the times especially if people have birthdays and it could get hard to hear each other. They have different price menus, with the more expensive menus including extra items. We really loved the beef brisket and ordered a lot of servings of those, but all menus included the classic cuts of meat such as brisket, bulgolgi, pork belly etc. They also have a good selection of seafood such as squid and shrimp. Waiter was attentive with refills on orders and changing grill. And they serve dessert at the end!

Came in with my boyfriend tonight for a date night & it was DIRTYYYYY. Initially, the blonde haired host sat us at a dirty table when we first got there. Booth was dirty, table was dirty and had crumbs and sauce all over it and the floor looked really nasty and like it hadn't been mopped in weeks. Not to mention, there was an actual tray blocking the left entrance to the booth & the tray was covered with crumbs of food and the potato salad they save. The plates the host gave us when we sat down were also dirty (at this point we should've just left tbh).... But, I asked her if we can relocate to watch the hockey & soccer games on, in which she did move us closer but grabbed those same nasty plates with leftover food on them from the first table she sat us at and took them to the new table she sat us at. Anddddd, it gets worse that second table was also dirty and had kimchi sauce all over it and other sauces on it. the grill inside looked super unsanitary && like it was stacked with the day's worth of food in it. then, the floor once againnn!!!! I'm sitting there and my shoes are slipping and sliding on something underneath the table. At this point, I'm so grossed out I didn't want to look under the table with my phone flash light and see what it was. The table itself was also sticky on top and underneath and the booth again ‍ I really wanted to leave at this point, but my boyfriend insisted we stay. We had a clear view of the kitchen as well and there were workers touching fresh food plates with the same gloves they're using to bus/clean the tables with. Not to mention the food all over the floor in the kitchen. There were also "wet floor" signs all over the restaurant too- but it wasn't like a fresh mop, it was like the floors had a coat of grease to it. I'm surprised honestly no one slipped. The food was good but I didn't eat much because I was so grossed out at this point. Megan was honestly the only reason why we stayed, she really turned our visit around. Thank you Megan! && I want to state, I've been in the restaurant industry for over 15+ years now, and even when you "don't want to look at these things or notice them when you go to eat".... you just do... and I don't complain about a dining experience everrrrr. -unless there was something truly truly wrong. But I had to, maybe we caught Gen on a bad day, but hope it's not like that on our next visit :(

There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!

    Service is friendly and good is good!…read more The restaurant is tucked in a shopping center that's not visibly seen u less you're looking for it.

    * Who: partner & I * What: random late lunch…read more* When: Saturday a little past noon * Why: hungry after apartment touring * Space/Decor: in a small plaza that had plenty of parking when we arrived. Average space in the sense it's rectangular & like any mom/pop hole in the wall. You step in, tables to your right going all the way back, & left front side has cash register, sweets display, & water dispenser while the rest of the left was the kitchen. Menu was straightforward but could benefit from having a description in case you're not familiar (like my BF). * Service: the reason I'm docking by 1 star. The lady was nice, but not very attentive, & it wasn't like it was busy. We needed to ask or follow up on 2-3 things. My BF was eyeing some dessert when we were first ordering but she didn't try to sell it to us ‍ * Food: surprisingly good as it was both our first time there. He got the adobo bowl & the chicken was tender/juicy & pretty much fell off the bone. I got the tocino plate & the meat was flavorful with just the right amount of garlic in the rice. We also got one chicken skewer & one pork skewer, which was a bit smaller than I'm used to but the smoky flavor & tenderness was spot on. My only issue was the portion compared to the price. * Final Thoughts: mom/pop Filipino food that is great on flavor but leaves something to be desired with customer service. Would recommend & will return again for the food. * Final Grade: B+ or 8.5/10
