    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!

    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!

    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!

    Mr. BBQ is one of those spots that always seems to have a wait, but for good reason. Pro tip: join the waitlist before heading over, but you have to be within 5 miles for it to work. Definitely helps because this place stays packed. There's a decent-sized parking lot, but parking can still be tough just because it's always busy. Inside is huge though, with plenty of tables and enough space to handle larger groups, which is probably why you see so many birthday dinners here. If you've been, you already know the candle/firework birthday presentation always gets the whole room's attention. They have several menu options too, including kids, lunch, dinner, and premium, so there's something for everyone depending on how hungry you are and what you're in the mood for. Service really stood out this visit. Aaron was on it the whole time--super attentive, kept the meats coming, stayed on top of refilling sides, and made sure drinks never sat empty. The selection here is one of the reasons people keep coming back. There's a huge variety of meats and seafood, and I like that you can mix it up with things like shrimp, squid, and scallops instead of doing the same usual BBQ lineup the whole meal. Overall, Mr. BBQ is loud, busy, and always in demand, but that's kind of part of the experience. Great for group dinners, celebrations, and anytime you're ready to commit to a full-on feast.

    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!

    One of my favorite KBBQ spots! I've definitely been here way too many times to count... oops. I just never got around to writing a review. I love the quality of the meat, and I never feel sick after eating here, which has happened to me at other KBBQ places. There was a point when I was coming here almost once a week because a friend kept inviting me out, but didn't have a go-to KBBQ spot as a lot of them weren't from the area...so of course I recommended this place! Wait times can get pretty long in the evenings. I've seen them go over 2.5 hours. That said, the waitlist system makes it much easier to manage. I've personally never had an issue since I usually arrive early and only wait for a table to be set. If you don't want to wait too long, try going just before 4 or 5 PM, or if you come closer towards closing, the wait has been super short. With inflation, the price has definitely gone up since my first visit, but the meat quality is still great, so I don't mind too much. The servers are always super polite and very efficient. Depending on who you get, you might have to flag someone down occasionally, but overall, the food comes out quickly. Sometimes the servers even give great sauce recommendations, especially if they hear it's your first time. Also, one year I came with a friend for a birthday celebration, and they really know how to make it fun. My friend and the server were totally on the same wavelength... it was definitely a little embarrassing for me, but we all had a good laugh afterward!

    Dinner was delicious! They offer good variety of meats that are always so fresh and tasty. Adam provided AMAZING service, highly recommend him! They also played the Super Bowl!!

    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

    Great AYCE bbq, $30 per adult on a weekday lunch! Came with great variety of sides, cuts, soups, and noodles. Service was also outstanding and our waiter anticipated our every need. Wait was about 40 min on a weekday 2 PM, but well worth the wait for a local reliable AYCE kbbq spot.

    I've only been here twice, but I do agree that the wait times can be quite long. They use a Yelp waitlist that you can only join if you're within five miles of the restaurant. I came for an early-ish dinner on New Year's Eve and still waited about half an hour even after joining the waitlist. It seemed like they may have been short-staffed that day, so the wait was understandable. That said, the service is very good--the waiters are friendly and attentive, and the meats and side dishes are solid. Overall, the biggest drawback for me is really just the long wait time.

    Do not let the LONG wait times deter you from trying this place. That just shows this place is worth the wait. The price and quality is great but the service is TOP TIER. The number of banchans you get is also something to be highlighted. Do not go here if you're trying to have a nice conversation. The music is blaring so it feels like you're at a Korean bbq club. Which is a good thing.

We came here during a time that was too late for being lunch and too early for being dinner so we had no issues being seated on a weekend. The ambience remains the same with very modern dark and neon colors inside. Our server was super friendly and helpful, guiding us through the new menu items. They no longer place everything on the table as they used to you have to order what you actually want. They still don't have the fish cakes back, but they have other options. The portions are big, but you can ask for half portions. Our grill had an issue where it would heat up too much and it became a fire hazard. This also made it so that the grill had to be replaced more frequently which they did. Overall, we had a really good experience and my boyfriend really love the Al pastor tacos. They also have multiple rise options that they used to not have. Comparing A prices to other Korean barbecues. They are still on the lower part of the range and I think it's a good value for what you get. We will most likely be back when we go back to the movies.

    * 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
