We came around 12:15 pm and missed the first wave of seating since they open at 12 so we waited about 75 mins to be seated around the 1:30 pm. Inside is pretty small and tight which is why there's always a wait. Service was friendly and but we did have to flag them down as they were pretty busy. We ordered the regular menu at $37.99 per person. My favorites were the marinated hand cut beef and marinated short rib. They were both nicely marinated and flavorful but the short rib was a bit fatty. The sliced brisket was decent but pretty peppery and too thin. The black pepper finger meat was also peppery and too chewy and tough. The zucchini, corn cheese and steamed egg were pretty good sides. The charcoal grill gave it a nice charred flavor and cooked the meats quickly and the hood made it less smoky which was nice.
This was my first time trying this place out and definitely one of my most favorite kbbq place for sure! I really liked the charcoal grill and their meat quality was so good. I also think they have the best corn cheese! I also appreciate that they have a fan for each grill so there's not a lot of smoke in my face while eating and food came out relatively fast too. Definitely come back here again!
Our party of 3 came around 12:15PM and missed the first seating, so had to wait about 75 minutes to be seated around 1:30. It's pretty small and tight inside. It was busy so understandable that staff didn't check up on us too much, but they were friendly. We chose the regular menu at $37.99 per person. My favorite meats were the marinated hand-cut beef and short ribs. The brisket was very thin and pepper-forward which isn't my personal favorite. I thought the meats were all of good quality and nicely marbled. The corn cheese and steamed egg were solid too, but the latter was a bit salty. The charcoal grill was hot and cooked quickly so some meats would burn easily.
My favorite premium KBBQ in San Diego. You cook the meat over an open fire which gives an awesome texture and flavor over traditional gas KBBQ restaurants. Come around opening so you can get on the waitlist and get seated immediately. The premium menu is only 4 dollars more than regular. It has prime rib eye steak, beef tongue and prime cut steak. The music inside is also good.
Food 10/10! The charcoal grill adds an incredible flavor to all of the various meats this Kbbq place offers. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. My favorite side was the bean sprouts!!! The setting and vibe of the place is cute and fun. The servers are very attentive and quick. Love this place! Honestly, I can't go back to any other Kbbq place now!
High quality Korean BBQ that's known for their coal fire method of cooking the meat. Also bonus points that I didn't leave feeling like I just left a smokehouse. We came on a Saturday at 11:30 to get ourselves on the waiting list. They opened at 12. We were the first in line to put our name down on the list but immediately after there was already a long line. Once inside I can see why wait times are long. They really only have like 7 long tables that can fit up to 6 people each. We decided to go with the deluxe version of the menu for $4 more since others in our group recommended the cold beef soup and the prime cuts. Meat came out really fast and we were able to start cooking right away. I do wish some of the marinated meat options we got were less sweet but that's just a note for me in the future to not order those. My favorite cut was the prime cut steak. Service was very friendly and they always came to check in and see if we wanted to order anything else. Never felt rushed to leave either.
We came here Saturday for lunch. It opens at 12. But our friends who are regulars suggested us to come early to put your name down on the yelp waitlist. We came 40 mins early and was able to be first on the waitlist! We were able to get seated right away at 12. The inside is very clean but there were a limited amount of seating especially with the long outside. So would definitely baking that into your time when coming here. Everything was high quality! The meats and the side dishes were all top notch. But the big draw was that the grill was char coal! Which definitely adds a nice flavor to the meat compared to your normal KBBQ. One thing I appreciate is that we never felt rushed even though you can see the line outside. Will definitely be back.
Dear diary I was always hearing good things about this place and decided to finally go. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. But you have to go at least an hour or two earlier to get on the waitlist because they are busyyy. Parking is also very limited so you might have to park on the street. The restaurant is definitely on the smaller side but the ventilation is great and the place is clean. The vibe is lively and upbeat with music playing in the background. We selected the deluxe plan and it is more food than we can ever finish. The meat was great quality and the side dishes were awesome. Their sauce is also on another level compared to other places. Even though it was busy, the staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. They were also really helpful when we have questions. I would recommend trying this place but make sure to arrive early to get your spot on the waitlist!
This is one of those places that's always busy. Be prepared to wait anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, so getting on the waitlist early is key. Once you're seated though, service is quick and attentive. The big draw here is the charcoal grill, which gives the meat a distinct smoky, charred flavor that sets it apart from your typical gas-grill kbbq. Meat quality is solid across the board and the variety is great, especially on the deluxe menu, which is definitely worth the upgrade for cuts like prime steak, marinated beef, and black pepper finger meat. Overall, Fire Spot is a great spot if you're in the mood for kbbq with that charcoal flavor. Go for the Deluxe option and don't forget the corn cheese!
I've been meaning to try this place for a while now and I finally went for Sunday night dinner. Checked in at the restaurant and there was an hour and a half wait time. We knew this spot gets pretty busy so after we checked in we went for drinks around the area to pass the time. Plenty of options within walking distance if you wanna pre game before you eat. Our server Aaron took very good care of me and my date. Very patient and attentive and always making sure we were ok. He knew it was our first time so he gave us a few recommendations for meats we should try. The black pepper finger meat and the marinated hand cut beef were our favorite cuts. Very tender and juicy - probably the best meat quality of meat I've had at an all you can eat place. The charcoal grill in my opinion is a game changer. It gets that smokey flavor on the meat without having a greasy mess like other kbbq spots. The wait may be a bit long but I promise it's worth the wait.
I completely understand why this place has a notoriously long wait. This was an amazing BBQ experience, maybe one of the best in Convoy! Quality, taste, flavor, unique charcoal grill -- this place has it all. We arrived at 4:45 on a Saturday and signed onto the waitlist. They use a Yelp waitlist but you are not able to join remotely, only in person. Thankfully we got a parking spot right away and waited in our car for about an hour before we got a text that we were at the top of the waitlist. Definitely arrive an hour before you plan on eating, and maybe longer during the dinner rush. The place is very small! But I can tell the service is efficient because the servers are very fast paced. Once seated, we got our sides and dipping sauces. The dips of sesame oil & salt, garlic sauce, and spicy powder complemented the meat really well. I loved the sides, they were exceptional. The kimchi and bean sprout salad was our favorites! Note that you have to get the servers' attention to order. Again, they are very fast paced so they won't really wait on you. So it's best to call them over once you know what you want! The only time they came to us was for our last call since we hit the 1.5 hour limit. We got the Deluxe Menu, which I think is well worth the extra few dollars. Their charcoal grill is really unique, cooking the meat by flame. It gets HOT. Especially with fattier cuts, it will smoke up a lot. Servers come by with ice cubes to cool down your grill if it gets too hot and smokey. Their exhaust fans are really helpful and adjustable by height. The meat portions are huge, you can order 4 meats per round. At KBBQ, we usually eat multiple rounds but here we got stuffed after 2 rounds. I wish I could have tried more sides but I got super full from meat (which is good for AYCE BBQ :)). Meat & Sides Ordered: - Prime Cut Steak (Deluxe) - 1 per person. MY FAVORITE ITEM. SO tender and flavorful - Prime Rib Eye (Deluxe) - limit 1 order. Delicious as well, just pretty fatty and filling - Prime Beef Tongue (Deluxe) - super tender and came with a lot of very thin slices - Beef Skirt Steak (Deluxe) - a bit leaner but not my favorite due to the fat on the edges - Black Pepper Finger Meat - seasoned rib cuts, pretty fatty - Marinated Lamb - I probably would not get again, it has a strong lamb taste - Cold Noodle (Deluxe) - my favorite side. Cold, sweet, refreshing bowl of noodles with beef slices, egg, kimchi, and veggies. - Seafood Tofu Stew (Deluxe) - another great side, with mussels, egg, shrimp. good seafood flavor.
I've been eyeing this place for so long and can't believe I waited this long to try. It's in a super busy plaza and parking is nonexistent in this plaza unless you get lucky. I came at opening on a Monday. There was already a long line and long waitlist ahead of me. I got there at 4:30pm at opening and I was 18th in line by the time I signed up for the waitlist. We waited for the 2nd round which the host advised everyone would be another 1.5 hours until 1st round of customers finished. Understandable. We left to go kill time elsewhere. I did get a text about 1 hour later that my table was ready. We were excited to try being that it was charcoal and our 1st time instead of usual propane. We really enjoyed the experience and there was no grease splatter nor did we feel too full because of all the fat drippings. It's a small place with a good amount of tables so getting multiple rounds or the servers' attention can be a bit of a challenge but once you flag them down they don't miss a thing. We got the original menu and everything was good. We enjoyed trying all the sauces and even requested the dry sauces. Some of the dry dips made the meats really salty so the meats were good on its own. Overall I'd say we had a really good 1st time experience and really enjoyed the charcoal taste. Now... would I come back again and wait that long? The waitlist can seem a bit overwhelming and I noticed it turned a lot of people away. I don't know.. possibly lol but I wouldn't wait on a hangry day.

Hands down one of the best spots for Korean BBQ. We cane in from LA area just for this and made a day out of it. Service was good, they check on you frequently. You can only join waitlist there. It is small so the only thing is it may seem a little crowded. But the food bomb!!!! We got option A both times the more expensive one for the shrimp and iron skirt steak, I can't remember the other ones but order everything on the expensive list you won't regret it. Just no chicken we never eat chicken takes too long to cook for us. Their side options are good too you could never go wrong with some cheese corn. read more

It was honestly so amazing and I wish I was local so I could go more often! Highly rec putting your name on the waitlist as it can get really long! We waited about an hour and went to grab beers nearby but it was totally worth it! read more

Came to The Fire Spot to celebrate Father's Day to eat all you can eat Korean bbq. Our family ordered premium which was only $4 more upgrade what a deal! Parking can be challenge so be prepared and come early. There is no reservation as is first come first serve type of restaurant. When you arrive there is a tablet to check in. We arrived 11:30am and there was already a line outside to sign in for 12 pm opening. This Korean bbq is very popular. What I like about this Korean bbq is that you cook their over charcoal and some of their meat are pre marinated. Highly recommend their marinated pork belly, marinated hand cut beef has raw eggs in it. You can mix the eggs with the meat before you grill it if you want to. I really also liked the oyster mushrooms because it absorbs the meat juice. I also recommend getting their cheese corn it because it wasn't overly oily. The ambiance was casual and cozy no need to dress up. They were playing upbeat Korean music which I appreciated and occasionally American pop. Yeah, I love it here and we always come back. read more
One of the best KBBQ places I've had! For $37.99 per person for the regular menu, the price did increase from what I remember but this is still reasonable. The marinated meats and seasonings are really delicious and flavorful. I think this place may be fusion with Chinese(?), not sure but the sides are definitely unique. Beansprouts are really good and haven't had them at other kbbq. Servers do their best to get you your orders and it seems like this place is always busy. Go early and get on the waitlist!! Also like how it's a charcoal grill, the meats cook faster and no splashing oil. The large vents make the place less smoky too. Great food! read more

Next time I come in they're going to have to call the NATIONAL GUARD to get me out my seat. All you can eat $41 sumn dollars is a steal for this place. The prime cut steak, beef short rib, and prime ribeye was absolutely TANTALIZING. The service is spot on and the place smells like if heaven hosted a BBQ. Get in here before 1pm to be the line!

My favorite bbq place - such a long wait most days but worth the wait if you plan your day accordingly. Service is always great and the restaurant is always packed with hungry people like ourselves. Food is always fresh and delicious. I love the marinated meats and the wire grill to add the extra char. The ambiance is clean and fast paced. People come in; eat and leave right after. They typically are courteous with their dining time out of respect for people still waiting. read more
Oh my gosh, favorite KBBQ in San Diego. There is most likely always a wait however, definitely worth it. They use coal for their grill and offer a ton of options on their menu. Their servers are speedy and always ensure you have enough meat and drinks in front of you! My favorite items were spicy beef soup, corn cheese, shrimp, prime rib steak, beef skirt steak, brisket, garlic rib finger. All included for $38.99 per person. read more

Great selection and quality of meats. Service was spectacular by Aaron and the other staff members! The restaurant is quite small & cozy. The only reason I am making this a 4 Star instead of a 5 Star review is because the sauces were a bit bland compared to other places. Nevertheless, still a great spot. read more

It was our first time here a couple weeks ago and the food was good. We enjoyed that it cooked a little faster the normal kbbq style. It was a fun experience cooking over coal but I prefer the original way. The service was ok, it was incredibly busy so I understand. The ambiance is a small mom n pop restaurant. Definitely busy so make sure you put your name on the list as soon as you arrive. Overall, we wish there was more options for meat like beef belly and bulgogi. Must try at least once though! read more

The menu has a solid selection of meats and seafood, and everything we tried was delicious. The highlights were the 5-Spiced Marinated Lamb, Marinated Pork Belly, Sweet Spicy Cajun Chicken, and the Cumin Squid, which had a uniquely Chinese-style flavor. Cooking everything over their Chinese-style charcoal grill gave the meats a unique smoky char that really set this place apart from typical KBBQ spots. The sides and appetizers (rice paper, steamed egg, beef soup, and house salad) were similar to what you'd find at most Korean BBQ restaurants, but the Boiled Whole Peanuts were a pleasant surprise. They were perfectly boiled with a great texture and made for a nice snack while grilling or waiting. As for sauces, I highly recommend trying their House Garlic Sauce, Sea Salt Sesame Oil, and House Spicy Powder. All three paired really well with the meats and added another layer of flavor. One thing to keep in mind is that the restaurant is small, so I recommend arriving early, as it can get crowded quickly. My group ended up waiting about 1.5 hours for a table. Despite the wait, the food was excellent, and the staff was very accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout the entire experience. Overall, this spot is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different from the typical KBBQ experience. read more

Service was amazing! Food portion sizes are big and meat quality was amazing! I love the charcoal grill! It made a difference in the taste! Come early because they get very busy! read more
Great place for dinner. Deluxe option gave you 28 choices for 90 minutes, 4 items at a time. Cooking over Charcoal is a bit tricky cuz pieces could turn black even though you are cooking more than eating. The workers were very efficient and fast and lots of initiative like taking our next order, changing the grill and bringing another container of water to the table. This restaurant is in Convoy. Well lit, super popular with 64-84 minute wait times for a table. Smell of meat grilling from the outside after you park is heavenly. read more

This spot is a gem for barbecue lovers -- a fusion of Korean and Chinese meats grilled right at your table on a Shichirin-style charcoal grill. The charcoal gives everything that irresistible smoky flavor, and the meat quality is excellent -- beautifully marbled, flavorful, and with just the right amount of fat. Pricing is fair compared to other BBQ joints: the standard AYCE set is about $35, and the premium runs closer to $40. Given the quality, it feels worth it. You can hop on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time (highly recommended!), but be prepared: the restaurant is small and very popular, so seating is limited. The parking lot situation is pay-to-use, but I've never seen anyone checking. There is a good amount of street parking although you may have to walk. The saving grace, besides the food, is the fantastic service. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about making sure you have a great meal! read more

One of the best Korean Bbq spots in sd. It is definitely worth the wait. Highly recommend getting on the waitlist ASAP because it can be super long. They don't have a lot of tables inside. I love how they are all you can eat but the quality of meat there is still so good and fresh. Would highly recommend. read more

This AYCE BBQ spot lives up to its name: it is indeed a fire spot! The meats taste delicious, we cook them on a clean charcoal grill, and the service is quick and reliable. the interior is simply decorated, the main attraction being the delicious food. Easily the best BBQ in san diego. It blends aspects of JBBQ, CBBQ, and KBBQ into one restaurant. Would recommend checking it out when you're in town! read more

Do they have a Non-AYCE Option? Also do these still offer Skewers?
I'm hosting my friend's birthday dinner here and was wondering if they could personally store a cake in the back until we leave the restaurant. We'll be eating the cake outside but do you think they'll be able to do that?
Hi, Samee . For sure we can storage your cake in our refrigerator , we can also provide party plate for you if you decide to eat the cake at our place, thank you
I have a niece who has allergies, what is in that red pepper dipping powder?
Does anyone know if they will be open for Thanksgiving?
Just called , they open on thanksgiving
Any idea if they will be opening next week?
I really hope so. I've been waiting for this like Christmas is coming. I'm going to drive by tomorrow and see. I'll update you.
Anyone know what happened to Fire Spot? We came on Saturday night and it was closed.
Supposedly there was a fire. I hope they re-open soon.
Do they take reservation for a party if 6?
Do they have vegan options?
Outside of the veggie condiments that they give such as the banchan, kim chi, lettuce or radish, I can't think of anything that you could actually throw onto the BBQ itself.
When reopen for dine in or out? Thanks.
They just re-opened for indoor dining a couple of days ago. Great as usual.
Does the Fire Spot have a reopening date set yet? Love this restaurant!
What days and time do you open now? It's been really frustrating to see Yelp saying you are open, but when we went or planned to go, it is not open!
Hi, Chang We opened for dine in, business hour is from 5pm to 10 pm Monday to Friday( close on Tuesday) , 12pm to 10 pm Saturday and Sunday,…
My wife just has the gastric bypass and was wondering if we can share we have the bipass card?
You could always order the all you can eat, and she can order a plate for herself. That's what I do when my kids come since they don't eat much.
Is there kid AYCE price? If so for under what age?
For kids 6-12, deluxe plan is 11.99 and original plan is 9.99. Under 6 is free.
Do we need to come as a group or individuals are also welcomed?
