    Side dishes
    Sally C.

    Came here for some afternoon KBBQ and had a great experience! We were seated right away since it wasn't too busy, and our server was friendly and quick to take our order. For the price, there's a pretty decent selection of meats, and everything came out fast. The quality was surprisingly good too--not bad at all for the value! One of my favorite parts was the unlimited side dishes and salad. They kept them coming without us even asking, which is always a plus. Also, their miso soup comes in a metal cup, which I thought was super convenient. Service was solid, food was affordable, and there was a nice variety overall. Bonus points for the big parking lot--no hassle at all finding a spot. Would definitely come back!

    Went in around noon on a Tuesday. Parking wasn't too bad, seems like tons of parking in the area. Walked in and we got instantly seated. Restaurant is clean and no nasty smell. Ordered 3 plates at a time. Started with the thick slices of pork, marinated bulgogi & brisket. All came out fairly quick considering there wasn't a lot of people. Kimchi is always a hit or miss at these places.. it's ether very bland with absolutely no flavor OR too soggy and not enough crunch. But this place has that awesome balance. Thank you Red House in Norwalk for taking care of us. Looking forward to our next stop.

    a table full of food

    Service/ Food/ Ambiance: Usually I don't write 1 star reviews because I am the type of person who gives businesses more than 3 chances to redeem themselves, but unfortunately the dinner was very disappointing. My reviews typically get sectioned off by its own category; Food, Service and Ambiance. But, the Service dictates how good the Ambiance is which makes the Food taste 10x better. When we usually come to this restaurant, it's always with my family since we're always here for the amount of food they give since it does the job of keeping us full. BUT THE SERVICE.... Listen before I start listing why the service was... not the best... I just want to say that I ALWAYS ALWAYS side with the food workers especially that two people in my family are part of the food industry. List of reasons of why I thought that the service was not up to par: - Our server was about to take our plate of raw meat ( that was already set on our table for maybe about 10 mins) BACK to the kitchen asking "You don't want this?" ... Babe, no one said that. The first thing you assumed was that we didn't want our meat because we weren't cooking it??? Mind you, all of our grills are FULL with other meats that are STILL cooking. Something about the meat almost being brought back just makes me question sanitary protocols. - Our server looked very upset whenever we asked for something. It came to the point where we felt like we didn't want to step on the servers toes and felt like MAYBE our food will be spat on because we wanted chopsticks and straws. Basically, we felt unwelcomed. -They charged us INCORRECTLY..Up-charging us by the way. - We also asked the server if they recalled if we added bulgogi to our order, since we weren't sure if we said bulgogi or not. They said "I only have 2 hands." Okay..... we weren't trying to rush you. We just didn't remember if we ordered bulgogi.... - We always have the same server and she usually asks for cash tip at the end.. which is fine... but just seems pushy for cash. She didn't ask for it this time, but usually she does. So maybe she changed her ways?????? Would I eat here again? Yes only if the service gets better..... Sad I had to write this review since it's one of the go-to spots.

    Fairly new kbbq spot in Norwalk. It's in a small plaza and opens at 11am , the price is less than $25. They offer about 10 meat options, the sides are limited and the Banchan is ok. We went around 2pm so it was empty . The quality overall was good but obviously not the best. It's a good budget kbbq spot

    We came in for late dinner and it wasnt crowded. Got seated immediately so that was nice. The server lady was quick and friendly, she checked in on us a lot n refill n all that. So service def get a 8.5/10 Tho it came to the food/ meat quality it could definitely be better. The brisket dont taste very fresh, the bulgogi marinated beef sauce was abit too sweet and it shows when u eat in. Pork belly/ beef belly is actually decent so thats good. I think the restaurant could control the meat/ sides portion bringing out a bit better cuz they bring out like A LOT per order of meat called, we couldnt finish one of em and it gives less room to try other meat types they offered. I like their macaroni salad and kimchi as sides. They don't have japchae as side tho :( Parking is easy in a complex. For $23 per person i think this is as good as it gets for ayce ( also they includes auto 18% service charge) , i wouldnt pay more for it. 7.5/10

    Brisket, rice and sides

    Kind of new place. $23 per person. Brisket & bulgogi were good. Sides were good. Service was good very attentive. Pretty chill place lots of parking since its in a plaza. The brisket sauce was just a little too vinegary for me.

    Our KBBQ spot closed down so we are in search for a new one. Read some reviews and was a little iffy but still decided to stop by. It was a Wednesday and the place was empty. The music was good, just throwing it out there. The place itself was clean. The menu was very simple. 8 bucks more if you want some premium cuts or a steamed egg but it's not a lot. We stuck to the general meats which were all wonderful. The sides were pretty good as well. Service was good. They came to replace the grill every time we ordered a new meat. ( not sure if this was because the place was empty) they checked up on us multiple times asking if we needed anything else. Price was also decent for two people. Only thing is they dint have cold noodles. But other then that will go back.

    This Korean BBQ place just opened up in my neighborhood and it has been our go to when we are craving Korean BBQ. Usually, the wait is not too long. When you enter there is usually a worker there who will guide you to your seat. Generally, the workers here are pretty nice. Some can seem a bit standoffish or maybe even a little rude but honestly at these types of places it's not uncommon. The real reason you come here is for the food and the meats have all been of great quality. We are really basic and mainly get the Beef Bulgogi and Premium Brisket. We have always been able to get more meats pretty constantly, even if sometimes they walk right past you just get their attention and ask for what you want. One thing I must say that I don't like is that they automatically add the tip. To me this is not fair especially because as mentioned the service is not bad but for the amount of tip they add on I expect exceptional service. This almost made me consider giving this place 3 stars but honestly the quality of the food is its saving grace. For the price this will continue to be our go to Korean BBQ spot.

    They charge tip without asking. Then they make you feel like your stealing when you don't want to leave such a large tip

I'd never been there before, so this review is all about first impressions. As we approached, the sign caught my attention: "Under New Ownership." Outside, an employee sat scrolling on his phone. It was a quiet Sunday around 3 PM, and we were the only patrons in sight. Checking Yelp beforehand had been a bit of a letdown, as their menu featured items they no longer offer. No links were available either. We ordered half a pound of pulled pork, half a pound of brisket, and four pieces of cornbread--all priced reasonably. Their tap selection turned out to be decent. The Cali Squeeze Blood Orange was a standout, and they also seemed to carry Firestone Walker products, including 805. The staff were friendly and responsive, which was refreshing. While the brisket had cooled by the time we got home, it was still tender and flavorful--just like the pulled pork. The real surprise? The chimichurri that accompanied the brisket--an unexpected and delightful touch. Overall, I'd rate the experience as average. While it's clear they've got potential, a bit more effort could turn Wholly Smokes into a go-to spot. Leaning in on those small details would really elevate the experience.

    The first Tony's I visited was the Anaheim store. At the time I didn't realize that there were…read moremultiple locations. When I saw that the menu was slightly different at each one, I knew I had to come to the Artesia restaurant specifically for the ube bibingka! The Artesia store is in a rather large shopping center that has LOTS of eateries as well as a 99 Ranch Market, so parking during peak hours and weekends can become quite the hunt. The interior decor and set up is very similar in both locations. This one is also very clean and seating is spaced comfortably. Orders are placed at the counter and your food is brought to your table when it's ready. Exclusive to the Artesia location's menu are 3 different kinds of pansit, so of course I had to try the pansit bihon as well as a chicken inasal plate. For dessert I had to try the 2 varieties if bibingka that were not available in Anaheim: ube and Macapuno. My foodie friend ordered the chicken skewers plate and an original bibingka. Everything was SO good!!! My chicken inasal plate came with 2 portions of leg & thigh, java rice, a small sampling of papaya salad, and a cup of egg drop soup. Whatever they marinate the chicken in made the meat SO tender and flavorful. The pansit bihon filled an entire to go container! The glass noodles were light (compared to egg noodles) and the whole dish was seasoned perfectly. Even with sharing the pansit with my friend, I still ended up taking more than half home with me. Same for the bibingkas. I ended up sharing the bibingkas with my son later that evening. The ube one is a must try for ube lovers. The macapuno one had a generous amount of coconut "strings" in it. Both were the perfect combination of creamy, light, yet decadent and very addictive. Service was friendly and efficient. Food is made fresh when ordered and came out fairly quickly. (bibingkas are made in fresh batches throughout the day). It's safe to say that I am now a huge fan of Tony's Barbecue. I took a little looksie at the menu for their West Covina location and I spotted some things I wanna try there as well. Stay tuned for a review for them soon :)

I had to go to the bathroom and when I walked thru the restaurant there were a lot of empty tables. Odd that there would be a wait. There was a table for 4 near the front door, without a reserved sign on it, and it was empty the entire time we waited. We were finally seated and they put us at a table for two. Meanwhile, that table for 4 was still empty. I'm not sure if you've ever spent time with a 10 month old, but clearly the hostess hasn't. They are grabby and want to explore everything they can possibly get their hands on, including hot plates on a table. Luckily, our server knew this and when a large party in the restaurant left, she brought us one of the 2 person tables they'd been using. Fortunately it also aligned with when our food was coming out so we didn't have to worry about our baby burning her hands on the plates put down on our table with a "they're hot" warning. The kitchen was really slow. I'm not sure if they were backed up, but with the amount of empty tables, they really shouldn't have been. It took at least 20 minutes for us to get our appetizer after we ordered it, which was the chile verde fries. Luckily, all of the food made up for the previous paragraphs and is the reason for 4 stars instead of 3. The Chile verde fries were so good! Not too spicy, a great balance of fries, meat, sauce, and cheese. The egg was a nice touch and made the dish feel like chilequilles with fries instead of chips. We also ordered a 3 meat plate with pulled pork, brisket, and tri tip. The pulled pork was pretty standard. The brisket was falling apart delicious and I liked that it didn't have a ton of fat in it. It was interesting that the tri tip had grill marks on it, I don't think I've ever seen that before, but it was very soft and delicious as well. For our sides we got the collard greens and mac and cheese. The collards were very high in vinegar, something we aren't used to, but my husband enjoyed them. The mac and cheese was really good! You can tell they use fresh cheeses as opposed to velveta. The garlic bread was good and really flavorful, but I do wonder why other tables around us seemed to get 2 slices per person and we got 2 slices total. Not a big deal tho, just found it odd. Overall, we really liked Steve's and will be back, as well as recommend it to people. We'll just make sure to have a reservation before we go, and maybe make it for a party of 4 to ensure we get a good sized table.

The Mac isn't the best I've had but it's worth a try. The meats are delicious, except for the chicken. For some reason I wasn't really impressed with the chicken. Service was pretty good and easy parking in the back. After lunch or dinner take a stroll in uptown and check out the shops. Overall Steve's is solid and I'll go back.
