Had a great time checking out U-Grill Korean BBQ at their second Rancho Cucamonga spot (they've also got one in Chino). It does get pretty busy, we were a group of 7 so we waited about 25 minutes, but it was worth it. They do take reservations but not sameday. Our server Andrew was awesome -- really friendly and on top of everything. We stuck with the basic Menu A at $29.99 per person and it was plenty good for the price. You can bump it up to Menu B for $38.99 if you want more stuff. We went through so many rounds of meat, especially the Premium brisket, Premium Beef Belly, and that spicy marinated maewoon bulgogi. The banchan was really good too, especially the kimchi, steamed egg, and kimchi soup. Place is clean inside and it's in a strip mall with a bunch of other spots. Parking can be kinda far during busy weekends so just a heads up. Overall solid experience, I'd go back for sure especially for the price, value and especially service.

I am extremely disappointed with the service at U Grill KBBQ. My party and I were seated and waited for over 20 minutes without anyone taking our order. During that time, several employees were standing around talking among themselves, and multiple staff members walked past our table without checking on us or asking if we had been helped. It was obvious that our table had been overlooked, yet no one made an effort to assist us. This level of inattentiveness is unacceptable, especially when customers are waiting to be served. Unfortunately, this experience completely ruined what was supposed to be my birthday dinner. I've never experienced such poor service at a restaurant. Management needs to do a better job training staff to pay attention to customers and ensure tables are being taken care of. I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience. read more

I've been going to this location for the convenience, and I try to be very understanding and don't let one offs change my mind, but this location's service has been consistently bad and comes off as low tier. The past three times servers are outside vaping as I walk in, I pray one of them aren't mine, and of course after waiting 5-10 minutes after being seated to get greeted, one of them is my server. This has happened literally each past three visits. Then they're MIA when you really need something and you look around wondering where they are and they were outside in their smoking area. LOL. Tacky. The food quality is not the same anymore. A lot of the banchan are bland, corn cheese is always overcooked or must be frozen, and soup has come out cold on multiple occasions. read more

It's ok, my biggest issue is the service, our waitress was nice, but she lagged big time. We were sitting there, waiting for longer than expected when you are at all you can eat Korean BBQ. Location was clean there wasn't a lot of people, but I'm used to service being on top of you in a good way. Always checking if you need anything or extra meat or just having your water filled up having to wait around kind of kills the experience. As for the food it was OK again nothing over the top or that would make me want to rush back. read more

Always a family favorite, so we decided to come here for Easter lunch (04/04/26), which I'm surprised wasn't busy. Our server, Brooklyn (as well as the other servers) were super helpful with all our orders that we kept putting in. And they delivered. We received exceptional service. A+++ for service. The food is always good, no matter what you order. My favorite is the brisket. As well as thinly sliced beef belly and thinly sliced pork belly cos you rarely see these kinds of meat at other kbbq restaurants. And my dad likes the octopus. I don't like octopus, but he said the texture is good when cooked. It's not too chewy like normal octopus when cooked. It's easy to bite and easy to chew. My only negative is the corn cheese. It's either a hit or miss. This time around, it was not hot in the skillet and became watery and the cheese was not melty so you don't get that cheesy, cheese pull effect. I like how they have bean sprouts, cos a lot of kbbq places I've been to don't carry them anymore. This U Grill location is very open. Has lots of seating and a bar area. read more

We went here for the first time to celebrate my mom's birthday for dinner and this was the closest with great reviews. We went with the most expensive menu for All You Can Eat. Me and my husband love eating the bulgogi and brisket. We had tried other meats that my sister ordered, but wasn't to our liking. The steamed egg was bland to me. The corn was delicious so I thought my son would love this and he does love to eat corn. This was my son first outing and was so surprised he ate the corn with white rice (which never ate before), and small pieces of bulgogi (he hates meat) with it together. He is so picky and thought he wouldn't eat it, but he did!! They did have a high chair for my 10 month baby. We will definitely come here again during lunch hour since it'll be mostly me and hubby eating it though. Haha The staff were friendly and helpful. The inside looked nice. It is a bit louder in there so it maybe hard to hear when others talk. The parking is in a plaza so it could be a little harder to find parking if you come during busy hours. read more

Been here multiple times, and it's always busy but for good reason. It's always a great experience. The service is excellent as they check on you regularly and bring food out quickly so you never miss the time cutoff. The quality of the meat really stands out. There's a wide selection of fresh, flavorful options, including pork belly, bulgogi, and short ribs, plus solid sides. I highly recommend the steaks and short ribs as they're clearly premium, and you can taste the difference in both quality and flavor. Always hits the spot. read more

Great first visit here. I've seen a few of these locations and decided to try this one. Inside was sleek and modern with tables or booths great for groups or date night. Tables are spaced out with enough room to get around. You're not locked into a space for the rest of the evening. Service was splendid! Lunch or dinner menus with decent pricing. Our cups were always full, grill filled with our selections never empty and swapped out midway. Parking right in front in shared lot. The celebration continues. Thank you friends! read more

Definitely satisfies the KBBQ cravings. They have rice paper, so if you're looking for that, come here! Fair pricing. Minus one star for the severe lack of ventilation. You will absolutely smell like meat leaving this place so beware of that. It is very smoky inside. Service is quick and reliable, which is appreciated because they are busy for sure! read more

3/17/26 U-Grill Korean BBQ Rancho Cucamonga, CA... Came here with 3 friends to have the All You Can Eat Lunch for $24.99 each. So many great items!

Today was our first time at this U-Grill location and we were super impressed! To start, the service was awesome. Our server did a fantastic job and was very accommodating. Great service can really make or break an experience, and this definitely made it! The atmosphere was also really nice. The tables are spread out nicely and the restaurant just feels open. It's very welcoming and clean! Most importantly, the food was great. You really can't go wrong with brisket and glass noodles. We also loved the serving sizes, they were perfect for our small group. I would definitely recommend giving this location a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Busy day for the amount of staff that was there, starting off with the service, Jaylen was a great server and definitely took good care of us tonight. Hospitality and energy was very positive and felt natural. Even seeing and listening to his conversations with other parties, sounds like others enjoyed having him too. Jaylen constantly checked up on us, refilled our water while attending his entire section. As for the food, the beef belly is really good, prefer it over the beef brisket. The pork belly is good as always and it's very thick and big slices. The corn cheese could be more creamy from the cheese but it's still really good seeing that we ordered 4 of them. Definitely would come back again. read more

U-Grill Korean BBQ - Bulgogi Premium brisket - Korean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Came in alone around 12pm on a Monday. It wasn't busy and I got seated right away. Service was attentive the whole time. The preset banchan looked a little dry and not very fresh. I ordered the sides I actually like separately and those came out fresh and tasted way better. They had a good variety of meats, but I only ordered brisket, beef belly, and small intestine since that's all I had room for. The quality was good to decent and everything tasted solid. The place looked nice overall and the dining area felt clean. Restrooms were clean too, just noticed some etched graffiti on the walls and mirrors. Overall it was an okay experience. Good service and decent food, just wish the preset sides were fresher. read more

U-Grill Korean BBQ - Saturday night madness. - Korean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

U-grill has been my go place to satisfy my AYCE KBBQ needs and to celebrate special occasions with friends and family. The place has an ample amount of natural light, plenty of TVs to watch your favorite game, attentive servers to bring your 5th serving of corn cheese, and a lot of open space so you'll never feel cramped. The meats that they have is always consistently good and I have no issues with the quality of their food. I was so happy once they opened up a location closer to Upland, because the one closer to the 15 fwy was always busy. If you're in the area looking for AYCE you should definitely give this place a shot. 10/10! read more

The service, food and ambiance was excellent. We will definitely go back, as we all became full and didn't get to try some of the other dishes. This was my first time trying Kimchi stew, I liked they it came in a little pot and it was delicious. My tip is to not order rice as it gets you full. Go there hungry and just focus on the meats. read more

If you are looking for the BEST Korean BBQ experience, this is it. In my opinion, U-Grill is way better than any other Korean BBQ spot. The prices are amazing, the food quality is consistently top tier, and the customer service never disappoints. We went a few days ago on the weekend, and as expected it was packed. But even with a full house, the service did not slip at all. Our server Alyssa had about eight tables and did not miss a beat. She was attentive, fast, friendly, and completely on it the entire time. That kind of service on a busy weekend is impressive. Now let's talk about the FOOD. The meat quality is always fresh and delicious. If you go, you HAVE to get the premium brisket. Trust me. Also order the spicy pork belly and eat it with rice paper. I love making a little taco with it and it is so good. Get a bowl of salad, add your japchae, mix in some rice and your grilled meat, wrap it all in rice paper and make your own little Korean BBQ taco situation. Absolute perfection. Every time we come here, we leave happy and full. If you go, ask for Alyssa. She made our experience even better. read more

You can't go wrong with Ugrill in Rancho, the one in Chino is debatable lol. There's rarely a long wait, the services tends to be good and you have good choices of meat and sides for a reasonable price . If you haven't already, try the jalapeño chicken, I know chicken is slept on at KBBQ but this one is like nothing else you've had. You can thank me later . This is a reoccurring visit for me as a Kbbq addict . read more

Quality AYCE Korean BBQ menu options, priced at $28 or $38, children at $35 or $19 for 9 and under. The seating layout feels more spacious compared to similar establishments, so I like how it doesn't feel cramped in here. The service is great service and the side dishes tastes fine, though it's not the best of the best I've had. Dining experience feels a little smoky here, their ventilation could improve a bit. Nevertheless, I would return. read more

I've been to U-Grill before and I believe this is a newer location. With that being said, the inside is really nice it's a cool dim light vibe, not busy. I found the service to be pretty attentive for us. We were checked on often, grill was changed when needed, everything came out timely, and waters were always full. I'm only giving 4 stars because we found some of the cuts chewy or not too great. All in all I would return though I enjoyed their side choices and meat choice overall. They also seem to have a decent happy hour! read more

My daughter and I had the best time here today. Our waitress was Kennedy and she was so sweet and attentive. We ordered the brisket, beef belly, chicken curry and shrimp. The sides and cheesy corn were delicious. The music playing was fun to jam to while we cooked our items. I hadn't had Korean BBQ in ages and I don't think my daughter ever had!! We really enjoyed the food and ambiance and catching up together over a good meal. Nice pre Thanksgiving Mother Daughter date!! read more

I had such a great experience at U Grill Korean BBQ, and a huge part of that was thanks to our server, Brian L. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome right away. He explained the menu, gave us awesome recommendations, and checked in often without ever making us feel rushed. What stood out most was how patient he was--whether it was helping us with the grill, refilling sides quickly, or keeping our drinks full, Brian stayed on top of everything with a genuine smile. You can tell he really cares about making sure guests enjoy their time. Dining at a Korean BBQ spot can get busy, but Brian made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. His professionalism and great energy turned a good meal into an amazing night out. If you're planning to eat here, definitely hope you get Brian as your server--he's the best! read more

Trash place for real , i should have read some reviews first. Faulty grill. Very slow time yet i have to find busser passing by to ask what i need. So called servers are busy chatting lol. I talked about the grill being shitty . all she says is oh sorry i can't do anything about it. how about moving to another table? Nah this place is just trash. Owner and management seem to not give a damn too seeing so many awful reviews with evidence are not even replied. what a shameless place this is. read more

The food was fresh and the meats we ordered were marinated in tasty sauces. The service was fast and our servers were friendly and attentive. The ambience was nice, it's a KBBQ spot so lots of smoke but wasn't overwhelmingly smoky at any given time. If you go on a Saturday, be sure to arrive early for an early dinner (no later than 5p) because it gets busy. They also have a 2-hr limit because it gets busy. Overall, would recommend this if you're looking for a close KBBQ spot. read more

One of my fav kbbq spots to go to in rancho! Its so yummy and they give you the best sides! The brisket here is my favorite because its sooo thinly sliced and tender read more

Recently visited this spot with a couple of friends and although we had an amicable time, the food fell short to its expectation. The freshness of the given selections were almost all dismissed and completely lacked flavor in its entirety. In their defense we did go in a little later ~9:00 pm however nothing really stood out as delicious & the only thing that truly seemed alluring was their music selection. That was definitely a head bop. Haha I believe the place is due for a thorough clean up and the meats and sides need to be revitalized. Maybe a word with the production company and or cooks would be prudent. read more

As regulars of U Grill, we decided to try this location for the first time. Upon arrival, the hostess was sweet and attentive. While waiting for our table, we grabbed drinks at the bar--but unfortunately, the bar top was noticeably dirty, and the bartender seemed irritated and disappeared after serving us. We had to find someone else to close out our tab when our table was ready. Once seated, we noticed the table was only partially clean--my spoon was dirty, and the non-functioning vent above us was covered in food. Although our server was friendly, she forgot to turn on our grill, leaving our food sitting out until she returned. When we asked about the heavy smoke in the restaurant, we were told that none of the vents were working. They were also out of cucumbers and bean sprouts. While the food itself was good, the lack of cleanliness and the overall experience left much to be desired. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to this location. read more

Been going here over Gen lately and the food is pretty solid. However, I have to jump on here to complain about a recent experience.

Came to satisfy our KBBQ craving. Walked in and was met with the hosts who checked us in, we waited around 7 minutes before being called back to our table. The banchan was laid out and the grill was ready to go. Our server took our meat order, half spicy pork bulgogi, one brisket, half beef bulgogi YUM! We also got the kimchi stew and japchae which were so good!! Paired with an iced cold Dr Pepper, perfect perfect perfect. Ambiance was chill and we had the best lunch. read more

Food quality was not what we expected from K-BBQ, quality of the meat was low and the kimchi tasted quite stale. Service was ok but would've been better had the drinks been refilled in the course of 2 hours and the heating tray replaced when it was smoking badly from not being replaced often enough. The fire for our grill went out multiple times. The seating offered to us was immediately adjacent to the door making it noisy and we were bumped into by guests continuously throughout the night. Just a very mid experience overall, will go to Red Castle next time. read more

U-Grill Korean BBQ - The burnt cooking surface that wasn't replaced often enough, our fire went out multiple times. - Korean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

I don't like giving bad reviews but the food quality was not fresh throughout the experience. If you're paying for the average price of $25-$30 of ayce bbq please cover the basics. A majority of the side dishes was not fresh. The majority of the basic meat set was either overly marinated, sliced too thick to grill or the meat turned out to be dry. The redeemable part of the experience was the staff service, check in at the host stand was a breeze, our server checked in on our rounds and quickly switched out the grill. I get it, there's minimal Kbbq AYCE restaurants in Chino Hills. Parking: Big parking lot plaza but a majority of the time the place is packed, there is about to be 1-2 openings if you circle around the area for 2-3 mins. Service: The servers were attentive, they checked in on ordering rounds. You would have to flag them down to change the grill but they were on it. Food (Dinner Set A): Just from the side dishes alone, there's not a lot of care towards what kind of food is going to be served. Side dishes that are meant to be cold and chilled (cucumber, kimchi, radish side dishes) looked squishy and tasted to be in kbbq room temperature (warm). Japchae was bland, it tasted like only soy sauce mixed with glass noodles. Very minimal ingredients, where's the sesame oil to give it some flavor and shine? Marination and cut of the meat make difference towards enjoying the Kbbq experience. For example, the pork chop meat cut was really THICK, thicker than usual Kbbq restaurants AND the meat was 90% fat and 10% meat. It took a lot of time for us to cut the fat out then grill the meat on the stove. The calamari steak was overly marinated as well. read more

I feel like this place has potential, but fell short on my one and only visit. Potentially, this place can be very good if they add more varieties of meats. I opted for the lunch AYCE, didn't get premium but also felt what comes with the lunch AYCE left a lot to be desired. The meats consists of the cheap beef briskets, chicken thighs, and pork. There's also head-on shrimp but I'm not a fan of that. The garlic chicken thighs were not good, but the beef belly was tasty. The sides were also lacking. They present you a limited selection of banchan such as fish cake, kimchi, and seaweed. The corn cheese was really sweet, a bit too sweet. The soondubu was pretty good, nice level of spiciness. The kimchi was good too. The service was ok, the server came to check up often but didn't offer a grill change despite the grill looking like a charred mess. I wouldn't come back to this place because they fell short in so many areas. read more

My favorite AYCE KBBQ in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Restaurant is nice, spacious and clean. The host and servers were all friendly and pleasant.

We love the selections of meats and sides. We also like their mixed soju drinks! Definitely returning again and again! read more
