Gave Ribbro BBQ another shot. I was in the area and wanted BBQ, and although I have not had very good experiences at this location, I opted to give it another shot. As every experience I had at this location, the service was incredible, the people working here are always super polite, very helpful and friendly. This time I ordered the Brisket and a big Korean Beef Short Rib (one bone). The Brisket was tender and juicy, I would still have preferred a little more salt, but honestly I am partial to Texas style and this is BBQ with an Asian flair, so I guess that might be why it's just not as salty as I like, not that it wasn't good, it's just my preference. The Korean Beef Short Rib was also very tender and very flavorful, and not dry at all. I did not order sides cause that's just not my thing, when I go to BBQ, I am just there to eat the meat. I am glad that this experience was much better and am gladly raising the experience to a solid 3.5 to 4 stars.

We had Ribbro Bbq cater my friend's son's 1st birthday...and we are so happy that we did. THEY TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING. Though for the price, I do believe it should always be like that. They are pricey, but what REAL BBQ spot isn't? It's expensive because it takes time, money, and effort to put out a product that's worthy of being called BBQ. Mama took care of our order, and went over the itemized list with us before we loaded up. Customer service 101. Inside is pretty typical of an OC BBQ Spot, wood/brown; however it was clean and spaced well. All the food was delicious...with my favorite being the burnt ends. The smoke flavor was well absorbed, and the meat not dry at all. That is literally the biggest fear of purchasing large order of smoked meats. The Kim Chi slaw is refreshing, and a new take on an otherwise typical/lackluster side. BBQ beans were nice touch on a classic. Potato salad and Mac n Cheese were also very good. Bread came un-toasted, and we were explained to that, that is not how it is usually done in-house, however with such a large order, it came to us plain. Not a deal breaker really, and honestly the correct way to do this. The side of BBQ sauce, all the utensils came packaged for us. Again, for the price, it should, but its always a nice touch that they actually did. I would love to come back and try some of their other dishes and meats. Thank you again Ribbro for making my friend's son's birthday a hit!

I had no idea this was here, and it's 10 minutes from my house. I had to give it a shot once I found it. This isn't your traditional bbq spot like you might find in Texas. I'll be nice. Pork belly burnt ends - cooked well, but not a fan of the Asian(ish) glaze. They were actually really good, but not traditional bbq. Brisket - cooked okay, but they were soggy like they've been just been sitting covered up with pieces stacked on top of each other. They were just okay. Pork ribs(spareribs) - were obviously sitting a while. A little dry, but a decent pull off the bone. Not a fan of the pepper rub. Sausage - tasted like bologna. I like smoked bologna, but these had no smoke to them. Not a fan. Mac 'n cheese - obviously used that packaged creamy cheese. It wasn't bad, though. Beans - not a fan. Pre-made and not good. I'll eat here again just to get the pork belly burnt ends. Unfortunately, this place is about average for California. I hope they do well. The staff here is really friendly. They got 3 stars due to the burnt ends and great staff. I recommend you give this place a shot, but set your expectations to California bbq and not Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas City, or the Carolina's.

A colleague and I had lunch at Ribbro recently, and I was pretty happy with my lunch. As you would kind of expect with the barbecue place, the food was pretty expensive, but they did have a lunch special with a brisket sandwich and it was pretty damn good. After I had finished my meal, I noticed that they had a pickle and onion bar. I sampled a few of them and they were delicious. It would've gone excellent with my lunch. I mentioned that they needed a big sign to the owners and they were super nice. The ambience was good kind of a dark lit barbecue place. I might come back. I don't know it's pretty expensive.

This place looks like a mom and pop spot owned by Korean family. The vibes were giving ~Texas ~ which was funny bc the cashier was an older Korean lady. We came on a Saturday around 1pm, it was not too busy. The fries were 10/10. It's crispy, well seasoned and I want an entire bag of it. The fried rice was 10/10, sooo good and kinda wish I ordered more of it since I was sharing this with my friends. The pork ribs were honestly forgettable. It's good but not great. However the SAUCES! They were amazinnggggg and I love that they give you pickled vegetables too (very Korean of them haha). We had a lot of fun trying the different sauces. It's a great time

The food here is amazing! We found this restaurant by chance and the meats are so flavorful and tender - you're basically guaranteed to like whatever you order. Co workers and I came here and we ordered a variety of meats from ribs to brisket as well as coleslaw, mac & cheese and their chips. These were so delicious and the price point wasn't bad either. Oh yeah, they also provide free toast with your orders and everything pairs together so well. The servers are super nice and helpful, and you always feel welcomed as soon as you enter the restaurant. If you like meats and/or bbq, this place is for you. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Cornbread. Soft and lightly sweet, it had the classic crumbly texture that demanded a drizzle of honey.

The foodie sidekick picked up dinner for us and what I thought was going to be food for two, ended up being food for six. We had leftovers for dayyysss. THE FOOD. Ribbro Sampler (6 Meats + 4 Sides). Because he felt we needed to try almost all the meats and sample a variety of sides. Here's the breakdown... - Andouille Sausage. Smoky with a peppery snap and a mildly spicy finish. - Pork Ribs. These ribs carried a deep hickory aroma with a sweet-savory glaze; the Korean dry rub added a subtle heat that crept in after each bite. It is a bit on the firm side, but remained juicy. - Chicken. Tender and slightly sweet from the bulgogi brine with a gentle smokiness. - Pulled Pork. Juicy and lightly seasoned with smoky undertones. - Pork Belly Burnt Ends. These little cubes of happiness delivered rich, melty pork belly wrapped in a caramelized crust with a spicy-sweet gochujang kick. - Beef Brisket. Smoky and finished with a subtle Korean spice. It was a bit dry, but still good. - Tangy Slaw. Bright and crisp, the slaw gave a sharp vinegar pop that cut beautifully through all the richness. - Cornbread. Soft and lightly sweet, it had the classic crumbly texture that demanded a drizzle of honey. - Potato Salad. Creamy with light seasoning. The soft potatoes & crisp veggies were the perfect contrast that made every bite comforting. - BBQ Beans. Bathed in a rich sweet/tangy sauce, the beans were a hearty side dish that paired well with the meats. THE VERDICT. Ribbro delivered a meat medley of smoky, Korean-influenced BBQ that were all tasty. And, can confirm that leftovers are good over a period of days.

Our first experience with this place was fantastic! Even though it was a busy Saturday, we tried their Saturday special and everything was absolutely delicious. To top it off, the service was super friendly, which made us instant fans. Because that first experience was so great, we decided to cater from here to celebrate my son's graduation. While the rest of the food tasted great, we were really disappointed with the loaded potatoes. As you can see from the pictures, there was absolutely nothing "loaded" about them, they were missing quite a few ingredients and just looked sad. It was a huge bummer since this was a special celebration for my son. I'd still give them another chance because the flavor is there, but they definitely missed the mark on attention to detail for our big event.

Pork belly burnt ends, brisket and pork ribs

Janel J.

So yummy. The pork belly burnt ends melt in your mouth. The kimchi slaw is packed with flavor. Their sauces, chefs kiss. The loaded fries with brisket...get in my belly.

David L.

Dude this place is amazing, favorite bbq spot in Irvine/ Lake Forrest area. I ordered the kimchi slaw, 1/2 lb of brisket, and bbq beans, and cornbread and toast. I must say everything was super good, brisket was juicy and tender. Beans had great flavor which wasn't too salty, and the slaw had the perfect amount of acidity. This place is such a home run, try it now! I wish I tried the ribs will be back!

Pork ribs, pork belly ends, seasonal veggies, beans

Michael B.

American BBQ with a bit of a Korean flair? Sign me up. Truthfully, I think I've been spoiled with BBQ after living in Austin for a couple years. California may have Texas beat in a lot of things, but Texas has the upper hand when it comes to smokehouses. All this to say that I'm used to getting completely blown away from BBQ, and Ribbro didn't quite match that level. We got the Brisket, Pork Belly Ends, Pork Ribs, and Sausage. Brisket and Sausage were great! Pork Ribs had a nice crust but felt a bit dry to me. What Ribbro really has locked down are the sides. Hot damn! I was not expecting to be impressed by "seasonal veggies" but that broccoli may have been the best I've had in a long while. Potato salad was delicious and not heavy. And I absolutely loved the kimchi coleslaw (wasn't spicy for me). Very refreshing side to eat with your BBQ. Service was nice and friendly, and I liked the presentation of their plates too. I do think they're holding back on the heat a bit. For items labeled as "spicy," I was expecting them to pack some kind of punch. Even their red gochujang sauce, albeit very tasty, barely had any spice. One last pro for them: we don't get BBQ like this often because these kind of meals are very heavy. I end up feeling quite sluggish afterwards. I didn't get that feeling after this meal!

Hannah K.

If you're looking for something different from the typical BBQ spot, this Korean-inspired Texas BBQ joint is absolutely worth checking out. The fusion of flavors is really unique and brings a fresh twist to classic barbecue. The service was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. One of the highlights was the gochujang pork belly. It was incredibly juicy, packed with flavor, and had the perfect balance of smoky BBQ richness with that slightly sweet and spicy Korean kick. You can really tell they put thought into how the flavors come together. Mac and Cheese, potato salad, corn bread, and cole slaw were amazing as well.

Jake M.

I have been here twice. The first time I went, it was an easy 5 stars. The food was delicious and hot. The corn bread was fantastic! The second time I brought my wife and really hyped it up. This was about 7 months after the first time I went by myself. I finally thought there was an amazing bbq place around here. Well our trip that time was disappointing. The food was okay but not hot like the last time. And they changed their cornbread! The first time I had it, you could tell it was homemade and fresh. The second time I got it, you could tell it came from a package and it was smaller and not hot. A real bummer when a place starts off good and then cuts corners to cut costs and still charges the same prices to customers.

Food was soo delish!! I was surprised because I've never heard of this place and it hit the spot! It's got this East Meets West fusion vibe and it was executed very well! I'm not a fusion-food lover but I felt like RIBBRO BBQ stayed true to the BBQ roots while lightly influencing their dishes with a Korean flare. Not overpowering like fusion food in general can sometimes be like! It's a perfect mix of BBQ w/ Asian accents! Service was great as well, the cashier really helped me understand the menu and their brand! All their sauces, SO GOOD! read more

I was so happy to hear that Ribbro has opened a second location in the Foothill Ranch area. We stopped in for lunch recently and found the same great food as their original location in Newport Beach. The brisket is so delicious, full of flavor and ohhhh so tender. Brisket is easily as good as Heritage BBQ, possibly better!! The ribs were good but not great. The "brisket heaven" sandwich is unique and fabulous!! We also love their french fries and onion rings. The mac n cheese needs some work, but still quite good. Hopefully there will be more locations coming to So-Cal soon..... read more

Such a great addition for Lake Forest ! We were missing a good barbecue spot here and RIBBRO delivers. Their only other location is Newport Beach so I feel really lucky. We've had it twice now and both times were great. My go to order is the brisket and their sausage. Since this is Texan barbecue with an Asian flair, you can definitely taste the Asian marinade which makes it quite unique. Some people here mentioned their brisket being dry but I haven't had that issue. I always get my brisket chopped anywhere I go because I find that it avoid the dry bits of brisket. So, that would be my secret hack. The sausage here is actually my favorite. It's spicy and juicy and fatty and everything nice. The bbq sauces have been great too. They have a mild and spicy and both go wonderfully with the meat. The sides have been great too but the kimchi is - well, a little fishy for my taste but maybe that's how authentic kimchi is? Otherwise, the potato salad, the beans and the coleslaw were all very tasty. The portions were nice. The service has been great. We spoke to the chef and he was very nice. Color me a fan ! read more

I came in to pick up food. We had never been here before but happy to see a new BBQ place in the area. I got an assortment of meats and sides to try--brisket (amazing), sausage (so delicious with the mustard sauce they have), and pulled pork, which was very also good. There was a spicy BBQ sauce, regular BBQ, and the mustard. I think the regular was our favorite. As to the sides, the mac and cheese and spicy coleslaw were the best. The customer service was wonderful. The young woman behind the counter took her time with me and answered all my questions. We will be back when it is time to splurge again. read more

I was walking out of Ralph's and saw a line at Ribbro bbq. I walked over to investigate. 10 minutes later I was eating a fabulous Carolina Pulled Pork sandwich. With a side of Mac and cheese.

5 stars for the goma matcha latte and milk bread with crunchy pearls!…read more The goma matcha latte 5/5 had a black sesame paste that was like the black sesame version of smooth peanut butter! One could probably eat it by the spoonful! Such a complex flavor complement to the matcha latte. The matcha latte (4/5) felt fairly strong (I estimate 4g at least), and the mango puree tasted real/ fresh but was nothing special. However, I did like that it was not too sweet. Caveat: I am partial to mango/coconut milk or mango sticky rice matcha lattes. The goma matcha was worth the $8 pricetag. Tip: Matcha Mondays=10% off matcha drinks! The mango one maybe was worth it due to the amount of matcha, but I do feel like I could make it at home. The milk bread ($5.50) was soft, with a delightful bursting sweet cream filling topped with those shite pearly crunchies-- unique and delicious. I also loved the kinako an pan (sweet bread with red bean filling, $5.50) because of the nostalgic flavors, but also because the azuki bean had a nice crunchy sugar quality. It was on the drier side the day after purchase, but I enjoyed it. Service was cheerful and speedy. The space is pretty large with probably as much outdoor seating as indoor, and there were a few open spots at 1:30 on a Monday. Parking was plentiful in the shared plaza lot with some shady spots.

Beware--once you come here, it will instantaneously become one of your favorite places!

I've been here twice. I absolutely think the place is a hidden gem and would love to stop by more…read moreoften however both times Ive stopped in I haven't felt extremely welcomed, let me explain. Once I dropped in with my nephews (3 and 7 at the time) for lunch and enjoyed it however we had an odd experience where one of them wanted a sandwich dry (meaning no condiments) and we were told by the waitress that no alterations were allowed on the menu. That was a year or so ago. Moving on I thought it was strange but didnt think too much of it other than them not liking kids. Yesterday I stopped in solo after a 30 mile canyon ride and asked for a IVL (Latte) to go (in there small defense they did ask if I wanted for there or to go). They made it quickly which was great. It was maybe 9am and there were maybe 3 tables seated in their side outdoor space with maybe 6 cars in the lot, it was not packed at all. I went to walk thru the door to the side outdoor seating just to look around and maybe sit for 5 minutes and was told I wasnt allowed back there as they're 'full service'. My assumption was that meant they wanted to keep the tables open for people who eat there which is fine. So I said no worries and explained I just wanted to look around instead of sit and then was told yet again I couldn't even go through the door nor sit indoors. I was told my only option was to take my coffee out front. It really felt as if I wasnt welcome there at all. It was a very odd experince to be honest. I've worked in customer service for over 20 years myself and all that they had to say to me was 'you can look around and sit for 5 minutes or until we start to get busy'. Instead whoever trains the staff here seems to train that of it's to go then people arent welcome to stay even for 5 minutes. As for the drink itself. Instead of making a latte with an expresso shot it was simply milk with brewed coffee sat atop (very bitter at that). Which was really odd as I could see they had a full expresso machine setup. Not sure if it was intentionally made bad but once again it felt as if I wasnt welcome there. *Updating below in response to the owner/managers response* 1. Regarding the latte with brewed pour over on top I didn't get that information from anyone. That WAS the drink I was served. Ive had maybe 5000 lattes in my life time from about 500 different cafes. Maybe someone pulled a really bad (over extracted shot) but it was 100% like a pour over on top of milk. 2. I never tried to use the emergency side exit/gate. I tried to use the adjoining door way. 3. I completely get the outside is reserved seating only now. That could have been explained friendlier on the spot. The approach of the situation could have been a sure you can take a look but cant sit. Simple. 4. When I went with my nephews it wasnt a question of not having a kids menu it was not allowing the slightest of alterations (no condiments) for kids who are typically picky at a certain age. 5. Ill agree maybe its just not a good alignment.

I'm someone that loves food tripping and breakfast burritos are something I eat often, but this one was other-worldly. The custom pick of protein, the cheese, and jammy sunny side up eggs inside, the crispy tater tots, and the tenderly crunchy griddled tortilla; it was incredible. And if you think I'm overplaying how good it is, then your loss; you don't get to try it. Anyway besides how good the burrito is, service is great! They made my food quick and were attentive to the things I needed. The inside is nice and there's good seating inside, maybe not enough for a big party, but there's a couple two-top tables and a bar seat counter (no bar, just bar counter). HIGHLY recommend!

Hands down, Ribbro BBQ is the best BBQ spot I've ever tried. During my visit, I had the brisket sandwich and the BBQ platter, and both were absolutely delicious. The brisket was tender and flavorful, and the variety in the BBQ platter offered a delightful experience of different meats and sides. Pricing is fair for the quality and quantity of food you receive. The establishment itself is clean and well-maintained, which adds to the overall positive dining experience. Service was great as well. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Overall, Ribbro BBQ is a must-visit for any BBQ enthusiast.

As soon as we stepped in, the owner (I think) gave us a super friendly welcome, setting the tone for a great visit. We couldn't resist trying the braised kimchi, and the staff didn't waste a second offering us a taste. It was seriously yummy and totally unique, mixing Korean flavors with classic southern BBQ vibes - definitely a new fave for us! The service was top-notch, with our food hitting the table within 5 minutes of sitting down. And let me tell you, everything was super fresh and piled high on each plate - plenty for one hungry person! We totally vibed with Ribbro's cool setup - loads of seats, spotlessly clean, and that sweet southern charm just added to the whole vibe. We'll be back for sure! read more

Rib Bro BBQ is a must-visit for BBQ lovers! We absolutely loved the unique Korean flair blended with traditional BBQ flavors--it added such a delicious twist. We tried the brisket, ribs, and chicken tenders, and everything was cooked to perfection. The brisket was tender and flavorful, the ribs had a great smoky char, and the chicken tenders were crispy on the outside and juicy inside. But the real standout? The fries!

RIBBRO BBQ is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly service and the incredible smell of true, slow-smoked barbecue. The ribs are tender, flavorful, and fall right off the bone, and the brisket is some of the best I've ever had--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Their sides are just as impressive, especially the mac and cheese and baked beans. Everything tastes homemade with real care put into it.

I can't rave enough about this establishment! The food is SO good, the service is on point. For people who think it's pricey? Better quality meats cost money. I've had bbq in the south and this bbq does not pale in comparison. My favorite is the brisket, which is consistently superb!
