Mr BBQ is always a good time! Just found out that this Mr BBQ Jr exists at The District and had to check it out. I love Mr BBQ in Fullerton so I figured it would be quality. The dining area is clean and nicely decorated. It's a bit small so there might be a longer wait than other locations depending on the time. I was here at 7pm on a Thursday, was told maybe 20 minutes but it ended up only being about 5 minutes. Staff was friendly and quick with everything. They have a smaller selection of meats and other items than their larger location, but the selection they have is very good! We got some Wagyu beef belly, brisket, garlic honey pork belly, marinated boneless short rib (Mr BBQ special), and bulgogi. All of the meats were good quality and brought out quickly. I absolutely loved the garlic honey pork belly. It caramelizes on the grill perfectly and tastes soooo good! We also got some corn cheese, steamed egg, ramyun, and fried chicken. The ramyun is Buldak brand so even the regular one is spicy but so good! The fried chicken was perfectly crunchy and the perfect size for a side dish that doesn't ruin your appetite. All the banchan was good as well. If you're in the Tustin area make sure to check them out!

Guess this is a new Korean bbq so we thought we'd try it at lunch. This location has turned over quite a few times in the years. Came here before when it was another Korean bbq place. It wasn't overly crowded which was nice. Service is also good. I really enjoyed all their bonchons which were really good. As for the meats though, I like the short ribs which they do not have. They have marinated pork rib but it wasn't the same at all. The brisket was ok and the wagyu one was a little on the fatty side. Not as many options as other locations so that's why lunch is a little cheaper. However for the price, I'd stick to my other place. SYOY!

I finally decided to check this spot out with some cousins and a friend (party of 4) on Father's Day of all days haha. We were quoted an hour wait since it was full house but there was only a party of 6. Hostess apologized and everything but we completely understood. We instead checked out the Sunday Farmers Market which I really recommend if you're in the District / Tustin area. We arrived around 12pm and was called around 12:45pm. Not bad considering the day! Peter, our waiter, checked in on us and explained it was dinner option all day and took our orders for rice. This place has iPads at the tables where you can put in your meat orders; I believe you can order up 3 appetizers and 4 meats at a time every 5 minutes. Also I don't think there's a time limit set here on how long you can stay (which may change cause of us haha). I noticed on the menu it doesn't include any of the premium options that you would typically see at kbbq locations which most likely explains the $33 price per head for the dinner option. But nonetheless we were ready to dig in and put in our first order of 2 orders of brisket and 2 beef belly. So the beef belly here was amazing! Hands down my favorite meat served here.The brisket was delicious too! We downed those quick and put in a next order of more beef belly and their pork jowl. Pork jowl came lightly salted with enough pieces that fed our party of 4. That was delicious too! Our other orders consisted of the mussels, shrimp, and their signature Mr bbq meat. The mussels and shrimp were great! The Mr bbq meat was good. Wasn't my favorite though but I would say the marinade used was awesome. Our waiter checked on us constantly as well as the other staff refilling the water that was provided. After our beef belly eating competition (I swear me and my cousin really get into it haha), our waiter said they offered icecream in the end. We picked our flavors and he came back with the check and the melona icecream which was the cherry on top of our meal. We paid around $40 for each of us tip included which imho is an absolute steal for the quality of meats and the service. Peter said he would make us a secret sauce if we see him next time which I will have to come back for. Peter and the staff here were all awesome! To sum it all up, this place is definitely the place to get your Korean bbq fix. Keep in mind, they don't offer premium options like beef tongue, galbi, etc though but nonetheless the meats offered here were delicious! Definitely check it out!

We went here for father's day. We were expecting a long wait so we signed on the waitlist on yelp which was very helpful. Checked in withbthem when we arrived and was seated at our table. Restaurant had a fun vibe to it with the fun paintings on the wall. It was clean and modern. You get to your table, they give you all the sides, water and order through the Ipad on the table. We ordered kimchi fried rice (yum), tempura (yum too), bulgogi fries, korean fried chicken, steamed egg, beef belly, brisket, pork belly, kalbi, marinated honey garlic pork belly. Food came fast and everything was delicious but our fave was the beef belly. Sliced thin and cook it a but crispy and dip in their house sauce and chili. What a great bite! The meal came with an ice cream Popsicle too at the end! Perfect ending to a scrumptious meal! Service was great. We had a very good experience and plan to go back.

If you enjoy the original Mr. BBQ in Fullerton then you may want to check this Jr. version out. I came with 3 other people for lunch. We came around noon on a weekend and it was busy but no wait. When we left later there was lots of people waiting. I was told by our server that Mr. BBQ Jr is similar although they have less meat options but more appetizer options. You order on the kiosk with 4 items maximum and I believe they give you 10 mins before you can order again. Some of the meats were hit or miss. Some were good but some meats ended up being very chewy. I did like that they offer way more appetizer options such as buldak noodles, lots of sides/banchan, corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, fried chicken, and baos. At the end they even have Melona popsicles to end your meal with. Our service was excellent. The foods came out quick, our grill was constantly changed, and the waiter answered all our questions. They were pretty attentive. The inside looks same as ziip since they took over it. It is located right by the movie theater.

We came at around 9:40 and were told 20 minutes, which is fine. But then we heard from 2 other parties that they had been waiting 1 hour. We looked inside to see 6 tables empty just not cleaned. I saw a party come in and complain and then all the sudden after some headset communication it looked like the staff had an urgency to clean. Still standing here at 10:15 and only 1 table has been bussed. I understand maybe having only one bus person, but everyone was just standing around. No urgency to clean the tables. There was about 5 staff members just standing around chitchatting. Post experience: The food was just average. The brisket was already dry, but somehow the beef belly was also dry. The cut of ribeye and large intestine were good. I will try to describe this the best I can. Staff was really friendly, but the service was absolute a**. Table we were sat at was not prepared. We ended up asking for everything including tongs and scissors. We were told last call, then when asked what we'd like to put in we said pork jowl, then our server told us actually the kitchen closed a few seconds ago. Keep in mind this was a pork jowl order we had ordered on their iPad system that never came out. After we explained that the server found us a side of it from the back. We ordered Korean fried chicken and it came out a little undercooked. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a sister restaurant to the Mr Bbq in Fullerton, but this place is nothing like it. Sorry, but I will not be returning.

Location is nearby the AMC theater. They don't have reservations would avoid for groups larger than 4 people. Price is reasonable for KBBQ. The menu doesn't have the high end offerings that other KBBQ places have but it's a good selection for the price. Banchan was below average. However all of the kitchen made Korean street food appetizers were great, wish the portions were smaller to sample more. Okay meat variety for the price bracket. They included an ice cream bar for dessert. Service was excellent and I like that you can order from a tablet at the table though it was a bit restrictive on the time lock between meat ordering. Overall it is a good budget KBBQ place.

This Kbbq spot replaced another here at Tustin District. There's a weekday lunch special that we saw on social media for $23.99 pp, but that doesn't apply on Fridays. Service was friendly and we were seated pretty quickly, although I can imagine quite a bit of wait if there's no open tables. The interior was clean and spacious. Getting the food might take a while when they're busy. We got the usual, corn cheese, steamed egg, kimchi fried rice, and of course, beef belly, pork belly and brisket to grill. Quality is pretty good and standard. The meat selection isn't extensive like some other places, but all we needed were the core items so we were satisfied. Located right next to AMC at the District.

Mr bbq in Fullerton is much better. Service was great though and our server and host/hostess were so attentive and nice This used to be zips kbbq and I think they just kept everything more or less the same. The meats here were okay but I think the big selling point here were the Korean street foods. My favorite things were some of those foods and the sides. But I feel like if I'm going to Korean bbq, the meat should stand out. They did not have boneless short rib, beef tongue, or scallop. The Mr bbq cut I think was the marinated galbi but it wasn't that well marbled. Favorite was pork jowl but I love that so it's unfair. Brisket was too lean. Beef belly too fatty. Pork belly was decent Ddukbokki was good. Ssamjang good. Salad good. Sauces for meat good and had lot of variety and I liked how they had rice paper and radish

Mr. BBQ Jr is an AYCE KBBQ restaurant that recently opened at The District in Tustin. It's a "junior" to the bigger and original location in Fullerton which is meant to be a more approachable and affordable option. There is ample free parking at the mall. The lunch option is $23.99 and the dinner/weekend option is $33.99. We came right when they opened and were seated immediately but there's a Yelp waitlist you can utilize during busier times. After you get seated you order your food and drinks from an iPad. There are pages of meat, sides, and soups/noodles to order from. Out of the meats we ordered my favorites were the bulgogi, pork galbi, and mr bbq. Out of the sides my favorites were the bulgogi fries, Korean fried chicken, and corn cheese. Unfortunately they didn't have some KBBQ classics like beef galbi and steamed egg but I guess that's what makes this location "junior". In a way I do see that it makes the ordering process easier and simpler without the overwhelming amount of options but I still wish there were certain dishes that I usually go for at KBBQ restaurants. Regardless, the food and the service were good.

We were excited to see a replacement for the zip Korean barbecue that had closed. We frequent the district and are always looking for new food choices. I was pleasantly surprised when I entered and found the interior was redone. Glad Mr. BBQ Jr spent the time to make it his own. The all-you-can-eat pricing is affordable and is in line to the restaurants in the area. Our two kids were charged the children pricing appropriately. The best part of the place is that all the servers share duties. The food came out quickly after it was ordered on the pad. The pad makes it convenient to order things without having to wave down a server. We enjoyed the Mr. BBQ signature short rib the most. Second for us was the brisket. I suggest trying all of the side dishes at least once. You'll see what you like. My wife walked out on me as I was eating as she was too full. I continued to enjoy the food. Daniel at the front will explain the menu to you. Ron was our server and was super nice and brought out beers for us.

AHHHH!! Stumbled in here shockingly on their grand opening day! It used to be Zip BQQ and we were so sad they had closed. But Tustin is luckyyyyy, they just gained a 10/10 eat!! It was even better than the last Korean BBQ restaurant. Came for lunch and it was soooo affordable and delicious! Service was excellent! It was about $25 a person for all you can eat with also many appetizer options. We were pleasantly surprised. Felt super clean. Grills were new. Just all was SO amazing! So so happy there's another great Korean BBQ place in the district!

This place was amazing! Such an awesome experience not only the great food. I took my friends for their first time trying KBBQ and they loved it!
