We come here often, and I just realized I'd never left a review! We always order the beef brisket, and it never disappoints. We also love all the banchan. My favorite sides are the steamed egg, tofu soup, and rice paper. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, and I leave satisfied after every visit. The only downside? The floors and tables always seem a little sticky. I'm not sure why... LOL. Thankfully, it hasn't stopped us from coming back because the food keeps us returning! read more

My husband and I had a spontaneous dinner here last night. Checked in, was told it would be about 15-20 mins wait. Got a call back in 10 mins! Win! Got seated and was introduce to one of the most gorgeous African American sister (our waitress, didn't catch her name). But man, she was so beautiful! This gorgeous woman got our order down and completed to a tee! She was quick and accurate! Y'all better pay her good cuz she's amazing! I had to shave off a star bc I got sick the next day prob from the 3 orders of shrimps I had. Other than that, all the meats were fresh and really good, especially the bulgogi. I just had to write this review to give her props for taking care of us! read more

The most decent KBBQ you'll get especially in the Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga area. You get to grab dessert after; Kung Fu Tea is right next door! There is genius parking in the front of the restaurant and within the plaza. When walking in, we had made it on time for the line pricing! It was $24.99. Dinner is about $30. They do have weekday happy hour from 3 - 6 PM! We were seated when our whole party was there. The server, Arianna, quickly came by and asked if we were ready to order. We ordered waters, soju cocktails, side dishes, and our first rounds of meat. The meat was frozen and piled onto the plates. We had ordered their brisket, spicy pork belly, beef belly, and bulgogi. We had a watermelon cocktail soju with cheesy corn, Korean party soup, and steamed egg. We had the server bring out salad and some rice paper for us, too. Overall, we got full very fast. Arianna was very kind and sweet to us, so shoutout to her! She had changed our grill three times and kept our waters full. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was okay! Floors were a tad bit sticky and the side dishes weren't filled all the way, which is understand since they don't want it to go to waste.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But, I think it made the experience there average. Again, still the best you can get in the area![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Found the formula for eating at U-Grill without a wait Come at 3pm on a Tuesday! Every time I come here , which is usually on a weekend, anytime , it's about an hour or more wait. I am definitely coming back on my day off work! I forgot how inexpensive it is for the quality and variety of different meats, veggies and it is all you can eat ! Love all the varieties of banchan . Be daring try everything! It's all delicious! The service was fast and we had an exceptional server Ivan who was very helpful in picking out what tastes great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is great for large groups of people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So nice to not have to drive to LA for Korean BBQ! Bring your appetite! Sorry no pics of meat! We were starving and were busy grilling and eating! We selected A and it was more than enough food for 2 people. read more

Great quality meats and sides, fair options to choose from. The service was attentive, not too long of waits in between orders.

U-Grill Korean BBQ - My favorite! Corn cob cheese! - Korean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

I was really craving some KBBQ yesterday after doing some studying at Victoria Gardens so I looked for one close by and found this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super spacious, vibes were good, and the music was pretty lit not gonna lie.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, I had to wait about an hour for a seat on a Saturday so if you can make a reservation beforehand I would recommend doing that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got seated at the bar which was spacious enough for two people to cook, eat, and drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our bartender was super sweet and attentive to us the whole time. I was surprised by how quickly everything came out too! I wouldn't say this place stands out compared to other kbbq in the area but the food was yummy and tasted fresh. I really enjoyed their corn cheese and their bulgogi. Next time, I need to try their pork belly read more

First I would say service is not bad. Its on the better side. Price and quality wise..for $39.99 i don't think id come here. Ive taken my bf to several kbbq but he said he likes this one the least oof. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sanitation wise..I dont think they clean the table well. We set down and i wiped the table it was greasy and stuff on it which was really gross.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had to tell the server to wipe it down x.x and all their side dishes were not good (this is coming from person who grew up eating korean food and been to about 50+ kbbq places). I dont think I'll be back. But shout out to the staff they're all polite and nice thats why 2 stars (: read more

Came to this place last Sunday. Had a great time and the server Patrick was very attended to us 5 people. Only thing I can say is that the macaroni salad was a total Loser. No taste at all. Never had a macaroni salad that is so bland and hardly that should not be served. The meats are all kewl and no complains on that part..thank you.. read more

Amazing spot!!! This has been my recommendation to all of my kbbq meet ups for a few years now.

U-Grill Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

You Grill at UGrill!! UGrill is a chain of Korean-style BBQ. They have two locations in Rancho Cucamonga, literally a few blocks from each other. I chose this location as I was at Ontario Mills shopping, and it happened to be closer to where I was. Upon entering, the host took my name, and I waited a whole 5 minutes before being seated. My server, Daniel, came by my table and not only made some recommendations, but offered me an Ice-Cold Cass ( a Korean Beer). I have eaten at many Korean BBQs over the years, and every one of them has been unique. The UGrill chain offers affordable options, even for its premium menu. They also provide a wide selection of Kimchi to enhance your meal. Some highlights of my selections were baby octopus, which I will cop up in the future for more even cooking, Pork chops, Rib Eye, and a few other meats. I also ordered a steamed egg and a very delicious Kimchi Stew!!! Overall, a great experience with no issues, as the food came out fast when I ordered more selections. My server was great, very attentive and the staff, in general. replaced my grill every ten to fifteen minutes without me having to ask. UGrill is a great place to eat, with many options and great service. read more

The wait here can be forever. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do not like being sat at the bar as it makes the experience less pleasant when you are not facing the person you are with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I prefer to pay for the premium meats as I enjoy their steak. read more

Great food awesome atmosphere will definitely go back an great customer service !! Sooooo goood

U-Grill has been a family favorite over the last few years. We used to frequent Gen Korean BBQ, but U-Grill is much better when it comes to service and overall flavor. The service has always been great here. Your food is dropped at the table pretty quickly and our servers have been great. The inside of the restaurant has a clean and modern feel and the seating is very comfortable if you are able to grab a booth. We dropped in for lunch on a Saturday and menu option A was $29.99 per person. There are more options with menu B, but it costs more and really we're okay with menu A. Our favorites to order are the beef brisket and beef belly. I know there's a lunch menu, but this is only available Monday thru Friday. Overall, we have never had a bad experience and the food and service are great. Will be returning! read more

To be quite honest, I'm not a big fan of Korean barbecue. Generally if I want to cook my own food, I'll do it on the grill in my backyard but the little lady wanted Korean barbecue so of course I agreed. We've been to a couple of the local spots U-Grill was my wife's pick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very hip, very trendy. Young crowd.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I felt like everyone's Grandpa. You have to Scan the bar code to get a menu. Grumpy old man trigger. I let my wife do it. Just hand me a menu like we've been doing it for 1000 years! Sorry for the rant. My wife ordered then raw meet just started flowing to our table. Being the grill meister at home I thought I would take control of the grill. Steak and Bulgogi. Finally some Shrimp and intestines. Yes intestines! Some tongue, ribeye some veggies to pacify the guilt. Lots of small dishes with Kimchi, pickles, radish and rice paper for rolling. Reminded me of the 60's. Don't underestimate these small dishes most of these small sides are fantastic. Between my wife and I and our 2 tag along grand kids we ate a couple of hundred dollars worth of food. Also had a bottle of Soju which might explain my happy demeanor. Everything was awesome including the Mochi ice cream the grandkids had for desert. Next time it's my choice so I'll pick a place where the food is cooked for me. But we will be back so chill the Soju. Definitely Recommended read more

If you're writing about a real employee, it's best to keep it truthful and based on what actually happened rather than inventing false accusations. If you had a genuinely bad experience with Gio, here's a strongly worded but factual review you could adapt: I was really disappointed with the service I received from Gio at U-Grill in Rancho Cucamonga. He came across as uninterested and inattentive, and it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. We waited far too long for refills and to place additional orders, while other tables seemed to receive much better attention. The food was decent, but the poor service completely overshadowed the experience. Customer service is a huge part of dining out, and unfortunately this visit didn't meet expectations. I hope management addresses these issues because I'd think twice before coming back. read more

This is still my go to KKBQ spot as far as price and availability. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is usually never busy the time we go[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], unfortunately the service has been a bit lackluster. Other than that, everything has been good. read more

Located on Foothill Blvd near Etiwanda Ave with plenty of parking. There's a full bar with TVs throughout playing live sports adding a lively atmosphere. The bar counter also has grills, perfect for solo dining. Happy Hour is from 3PM-6PM M-F & 9PM-Close daily. First time here and loved it. We visited this Saturday noon and were seated immediately. You scan the code in the host area for the menu. We chose 'Menu B' at $38.99 per person...with plenty of meat selections such as Brisket, Bulgogi, Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, Pork Chop, and more. As sides, we enjoyed 'White Rice, Steamed Egg, Corn Cheese, Noodles, etc'. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. The beer was perfectly cold. The fun of grilling your own meal right at the table truly enhances the social experience. Be prepared: your clothes will smell like barbecue after dining here. I like that they have big tables to accommodate large parties. The restaurant is spacious, clean and organized. Service was top-notch, every staff member we encountered was very helpful and did a great job switching out our grill promptly. Shout out to our server, 'Anikan' who was extremely attentive, friendly, and made sure we had a great meal experience. Overall, we had a pleasant time here and will definitely return. read more

Went here with my girls for a girls night. We were shopping not too far away when we wanted to grab some kbbq. We must have arrived before the dinner rush as it took about 20 minutes to be seated. I did have to go to the counter to ask for an update only to find out our table had been ready, but no one had called my name or texted me that the table was ready. Makes me curious how much longer I would have waited had I not asked. To the food, we ordered the non-marinated items due to an allergy in the group. I appreciated the portion sizes! They were also pretty generous with the banchan servings as well. All in all a good dinner place and would return again. We liked the music choices too! read more

Got in with our 5:00 pm reservation. Good size place . Nice and clean. Warm reception. Quick service. Seated right away. Condiments served right away. Jane took good care of us really well. Friendly and warm. Lots of fun for the family (10 people). Grand kids enjoyed cooking and even more the eating part of it. Brisket, bulgogi, pork chops and pork belies, chicken teriyaki and veggies were some of the choices we grilled. All so good and enjoyable. Been here a couple of times and plans to come again. read more

U-Grill Korean BBQ - Nice bbq place - Korean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Decent KBBQ place, with the lunch pricing (Mon-Friday, until 4pm) at $23.99. They have pretty much everything you'd expect from a KBBQ place, with a few additions that I haven't seen much elsewhere: curry chicken, for instance, and really big prawns. I can't speak to the quality of the pork (as I didn't order any), but everything I tried was fresh. That said, the beef belly cut was a little unfortunate. I got a couple orders, thinking maybe I just got the first time, but all the plates were extremely fatty. Don't get me wrong, I expect fat when it comes to beef belly, but this was ~90% fat. Ventilation was pretty poor inside. There was a lot of smoke inside constantly. Also, the safety standards seem lax. When the waitress was changing the grill, there was a lot of oil just slung onto the floor. Sometimes there's a place at the table to slot old grills into, but not here. No one cleaned up the oil or anything, so it was just a slipping hazard. read more

This was our first time eating here and it was amazing! The food was great, the portions were generous, and the overall experience was excellent.

His memory and being bilingual really helped our table. Thank you, Ivan! We'll definitely be returning. read more

Wanted to eat at a late night spot and luckily, this was open around the area. First, this is a pretty good location as it's near the freeway and right on Foothill Blvd. It's a really big restaurant with a lot of seating and a bar area. While walking around, it was really sticky. The same can be said of the tables and chairs. The ban chan was okay. I liked the fish cake. But I didn't like their kimchi or bean sprouts. I liked the flavor of the cucumber kimchi more than the regular kimchi. Japchae was also just okay. The fish cake was pretty good. The quality of the beef was okay. We had the beef belly, beef brisket, and pork belly. All were fine. Nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either. What stood out to us was our server. He was super friendly and nice. He was really quick with our orders and anything else we needed. He was what really made this a 4-star experience. read more

This spot was alright, but not quite what we were hoping for. We were really craving KBBQ and decided to try it out since we were far from our usual go-to in Koreatown. Walking in, we were surprised we had to wait to be seated. It was a little after lunch time and not that many people inside but I guess they were short-staffed. Regardless, we got seated after about 10 minutes. Unfortunately, our table was on the side without a TV, and there wasn't any music playing either. Felt like something was needed. The floors were sticky, which is common for KBBQ spots, but there was residue left on the chairs and table. The grills smoked easily and led to the grill burning quickly. Having to flag down the waiter to switch the grill each time wasn't ideal. To be fair, he did have to attend to multiple tables. I will say most of the meat wasn't bad and I liked the lunch price discount that was offered from 11am to 4pm M-Fri. I enjoyed the marinated bulgogi and it made me happy to get radish paper and rice paper. I'd say this trip was enough to hold me over until I head into LA. Btw there is a tesla charging station next to it. Youll want to avoid parking near it as the lines get pretty long and you're trapped. read more

Pretty disappointed with the quality of the meats. I wish they had some sort of potato side dish. You need to ask for rice paper which we didn't do towards the end but normally they come with the side dish. Their steamed egg portion is a lot smaller than other places. Restaurant is spacious. Overall the only good thing that this kbbq offered was our really nice waitress, she was patient with our party of 10. Not a lot of ppl eating here at the time but they had a lot of employees working. Giving 2 stars bc our waitress was so polite read more

Parking: Plenty available Ambience: Came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was fairly empty. In terms of scent and appearance, seems like one of the cleaner KBBQ restaurants I've been to. Service: Service was quick and friendly, and our orders didn't take long to arrive. Grills were changed often. When we asked for additional side dishes, they gave us plenty and we didn't have to ask for additional refills, which I appreciated. Taste: Bulgogi was marinated well, but brisket was a bit rougher and drier than had hoped for (although maybe we just left it on the grill for too long). Our party liked the sauces provided. I only wish they had the mashed potato salad as one of the available side dishes, but overall, it's a pretty good place and would recommend! read more

A solid 4.5 stars for U-grill! Noah, our server, was awesome and he gladly gave us meat suggestions that were worth eating. The meats are perfectly portioned well and the marinated meats were not too salty. Ample table space for our plates and drinks. The banchan was ok...I've had better. Prices imo are pretty reasonable compared to other restaurants I've been too. Plenty of parking space and an electric car station across from the establishment! read more
