    Short rib

    Overall, the meat quality at Seoul bbq is decent! We ordered the premium tier which honestly wasn't necessary but my friend wanted to try their wang Kalbi and wanted the lobster. Spoiler alert: the premium tier was not worth the price, hence the four stars. Would recommend getting the tiers below premium since the quality of those tastes the same if not better than the premium tier. The lobster tasted frozen and the king/wang Kalbi was tough and chewy. Their Kalbi and pork jowl from the signature tier was amazing. Absolutely tender and flavorful. Skip the beef tongue; it is tough and chewy. On the other hand, their sides, ramen, radish cold noodles and corn cheese were delicious! Service was excellent! Our servers were attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. The restaurant is a bit small so there can be a wait on the weekends. Plenty of parking in a shared lot with other businesses. Would come back for their other tiers.

    Marinated LA Kalbi

    Really enjoyed my meal at Seoul BBQ. The galbi and marinated galbi were both tender, flavorful, and definitely the highlights. The pork jowl was also really good. Service was friendly and attentive, and the meat came out quickly. Great AYCE KBBQ spot in Diamond Bar--I'll definitely be back.

    Sides
    Nisha M.

    The food was good. The meats were a tad underwhelming and I felt some of the sides lacked flavors as well but the price is good, the service is quick, and it was super cute!

    The meat section was great.

    There were a lot of different opinions for meats and sides. The service was quick. The tables are spaced enough so we weren't back to back with us customers, I loved that they changed the grill often so it is not smoky

    So good  and very nice service.

    Right behind the Korean market, If it weren't for the company of my friends I would have rated this place a bit lower. Staff is pretty friendly, the work flow is very streamlined order through the iPad request small things from the iPad (chopsticks forks extra plates sauce etc) The meat came out pretty fast, and tasted really good too. Some of the issues were the floor SUPER greasy/oily. yes I know classic kbbq has oily floors it's a standard to a good kbbq, it just seemed VERY slippery. One of orders of the pork steak came out we cooked it and it tasted sour like the meat had gone bad. The restroom was a bit messy, my friend who went before we sat down said it was messy. I who went after the check saw it was messy. I'll still rate 4 out of 5 because I had a great time there. (Even though it took a while to get seated)

    Such a solid Kbbq spot! The flying tiger was one of my favorites, and the finger ribs were so delicious. Great quality meat and the service was friendly. Definitely coming back.

    Beef Belly
    Bryan G.

    Hands down one of the best Kbbq places I've ever been too! The quality of all the food is superb. I love that they give you a tablet and you just order the meats yourself, saves time trying to flag down your server. The pricing is very reasonable for what they offer. Next time I come, i want to try their premium menu.

    Banchan
    Jennifer S. M.

    Seoul BBQ is one our of regular AYCE KBBQ spots. One of the main reasons we come is the affordable pricing. The lowest price is $29.99 for the menu A option. The wait times can vary from 1 hour or less. The location is smaller compared to other KBBQ spots, however that's not an issue if you have a bigger party. Menu A is the go to option for us. My favorite options are the brisket, beef belly and the flying tiger beef belly. My favorite side is the steamed egg. As for banchan I enjoy the bean sprouts, glass noodles and the radish paper. The waiters here work hard and I have had no major complaints. My husband and I have come here for the past 2 years and seen how much it's grown. Overall, I would recommend Seoul BBQ and continue to stop by when craving Korean BBQ.

    Bulgogi & Corn Cheese
    Steffany W.

    Seoul BBQ is a solid Korean BBQ restaurant and gets 3.5 stars for me. There was no wait on a Wednesday night and a perfect spot for students. We went as a party of 8 and the seats were a little tight, but tolerable. They also had a small side table at one end for the uncooked meats so it was a little annoying to continuously ask our friends to pass the meats over to the other end of the table to cook. During busier nights I know it would be nicer to have a little more space and a table closer to where they handed us the uncooked meat. I personally prefer marinated meats and fattier meats so the A menu had a good selection. The bulgogi and regular beef belly were delicious and we got multiple helpings. My friends also quite enjoyed the food here and we general vist every so often. We also especially like the corn cheese and banchan here. I personally did not like some of the sides like the orange chicken as it tasted not fresh. The tofu soup was also a weird flavor that did not taste like a regular tofu soup and more like flavored spicy water, not a fan. But otherwise, I liked the selection of meats and the food was good after a long day.

    I frequent the dance studio next door and I've been waiting for the opportunity to try it out…read more When I finally had the time to try it out, I ordered the Fresh Salmon ($5.39), Grilled Eel ($5.59), and Garlic Butter Crab ($4.79). There is a kiosk at the counter so you just choose your selections on the touch pad. They make everything to order so it takes a bit for your order to come out, but it's so worth it. They really pile on the toppings onto the yubu and it's so much that there's not really a single bite where you're only getting the rice and bean curd. Everything was so fresh and flavorful and it can get a little messy trying to eat it. They do have gloves that you can use to eat with your hands. Out of the ones that I've ordered, I don't know if there's a certain one that I like more than the others since they all have such a unique taste. It really depends on what you're in the mood for or what you're craving, but it will be sure to satisfy it. I don't think why it took so long for me to just walk next door, but I'm glad that I was finally able to try it out. This would be the perfect after-class snack for the next times that I'm taking a class next door.

Endless! I got 6 in total, 3 is a really good size meal for an average person. Generous amount of topping. Perfectly cooked rice. Amazing flavors. I got the tako one. Didn't think itd be raw, but omg so fresh and amazing wasabi flavor. Also got their new crab meat one and im so glad. Actual real crab meat (I know because I got a small piece of shell lol) with fresh salmon. Overall, HIGHLY recommend for a light meal, a snack, any sushi lover or even onigiri lover. Plenty of seating inside. Service was pleasant. Clean bathrooms. Give it a try!

    Was craving some korean soup on a cold night and decided to try Yuk Dae Jang for the first time and…read moreit did not disappoint! Everything we had tasted so delicious and flavorful, even the side dishes that consisted of kimchi, fish cakes, and some chives. We kept asking for more and the employees were more than happy to keep them coming! For food, we got the bossam, sulungtang, and yukgaejang. The bossam arrived on this grill that kept it warm throughout the meal, which I can appreciate. The sulungtang and yukgaejang were both phenominal and hit the korean comfort food cravings. Get the purple rice!! Not to mention they had deals on alcohol too. I believe $5 for beer and $7 for a soju bottle -- cant beat that in this economy! Definitely will be adding this to my rotation for korean food.

    This has become one of my go-to spots. I usually order the bossam pork, but this time I decided to…read moretry the braised beef. The bossam is still one of the best I've had. The pork is consistently tender, and the banchan (side dishes) are always fresh and high quality. The braised beef was good, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. It could have been braised longer, and I felt the sauce didn't really penetrate the meat the way it has at other places, so the flavor was a bit lacking. The only real downside was that the older woman working that day was a little short with us. Other than that, the food is consistently solid. Overall, 4/5.

The interior was a more empty feeling space but maybe it was because it was just empty on a Saturday evening. The food itself was honestly just okay. I have had some curry udon in the past, but it just feels like this was a packaged curry with udon noodles and sausage. This was not worth the price. Same with the spicy rice cakes. The sauce and soup was solid, but a bit too much tang and it felt more like a packaged rice cake you can buy from the store the cheese was melted at first, but it became hard quickly after. I don't think I'd recommend both of the items. The saving grace was the Korean fried chicken wings. These are good, the sauce was yummy, and the texture was great. I was disappointed because of the high remarks for this place.
