I had ended my birthday celebration coming back from Santa Barbra on my way heading back to LA was hiking around the area & was so hungry. Looked up a great AYCE Korean BBQ. & thankfully found this spot. I called to check if they were open & ayce & yes. Upon arrival it was nice cute dinning outside. I was with my fiancé & told him so he was down to get out. Let me tell you great bomb spot to eat at. I fell in love ! They customer service was beyond me! They know exactly how to treat customers ! Loved every bite. Simple salad. (Wish they had rice paper) but Over all everything was behind great. I would totally recommend & bring friends & fam! Love everything about it. I never once had to worry about being thirsty or hungry. They sure know how to attend you. Especially during these time. Thank you read more

Wangdoyaji - Bomb! - Korean Near Me - Reseda, California

Not your average KBBQ restaurant. If you want a cheaper, fast pace dining experience, this is defo the place.

You get what you pay for. For $14 AYCE KBBQ here, that means you get meat, lettuce salad (literally, the salad is just chopped lettuce with dressing...), and old kimchi... My friends and I arrived at 11pm on a Wednesday night, and we waited an hour for a table for our party of 7. Since this is the only KBBQ place open this late any time, of course, there's a wait. The staff here did kindly ask if we wanted to split our party to be seated more quickly, but we declined. Once we were seated, we decided on the A combos for all of us, and got our meat right away. It's all the basics here: brisket, pork belly, beef shoulder, spicy pork, pork cushion (the latter two, no one in my party tried). You get a bottle of sauce for the table, a salad of lettuce (only thing about this is the citrus sesame dressing, which was actually delicious. One star for that - lol.), and a small plate of kimchi. The kimchi tasted old, so none of us touched it. I didn't even it know was possible for kimchi to taste like it had gone bad because kimchi is fermented, but wow. Service was okay. They charge you extra $$ for rice -- boo. Would not go here again if given the choice. read more

For a KBBQ spot in a prime area in the valley, this place is a big disappointment. They definitely cut the budget on ingredients and on the quality of meat they serve. The chicken tasted like fish and the beef had no flavor and mainly fat. If you ask for hot sauce they give it to you in sauce packets that are meant to be for To go orders, even then poor quality of sauce. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Never coming here again read more

A terrible time I had at this all you can eat korean bbq, to start they gave horrible service, the selection of meats were very limited for the price, as you are better off going anywhere else. At the very end we got the bill and they have a automatic gratuity charge of 18% of parties 6 or more and we were a party of 4. However they still charged the 23 dollar fee on our bill and when i went to ask about it they let me know "well your gonna tip anyway right?" Basically forcing us to tip 23 dollars for horrible service and a mistake on their end. Never coming back again. read more

Been coming here for almost a decade. Small menu but we only usually order brisket and pork belly. Servers are very attentive and very nice. Small restaurant but very clean, even the bathroom. Price is also very reasonable. read more

So this place has a HUGE wait time, we put in our names for a random Friday evening and waited over an hour to get seated, I think that has to do with the fact that the side tables are used for 2 people instead of the 4 seats that are there which slows people down. Also for bigger parties, they have a family style table in the middle where a lot of people dont really like to be placed. Other than that, this is a super simplified version of KBBQ but still has a good amount of the meats. Not alot of side dishes (only the salad) but for around 16$ a person, cant be that. read more

I come here all the time and I like it even more each time, the service is excellent and the food is delicious

There is a hidden service charge for ALL party sizes of 18% AFTER tax. Ridiculous. Food was fine. The price without that charge WOULD have been fine. Had to ask for Kimchi 5 times. Awful service, and deceitful service charge. read more

This was my first time coming here after having a terrible experience at ( Kogiya bbq, if you haven't read my Yelp review on them , read it ! That places sucks) ANYWAYS!! My husband and I ended up coming here a couple days later and we loved this place !! They have limited seating but the service is off the charts !! As soon as my husband and I walked up we were immediately noticed and communicated with and sat down . A waiter brought us sides & a plate of brisket immediately once we were seated . I was so excited !! We ordered and kid you not i never had to waive down the waiter . He was always there for anything I needed . He would ask me " is that all mam? " I was so happy with the service!! The biggest thing for me is that all the waiters there were very nice and at peace! I didn't feel rushed or judged and they made me feel like I was able to ask any questions I had which was great because I was able to try new meats that I hadn't had before . Overall it was a great experience and it's totally worth it especially for the price . They have a $16.99 & a $18.99 option . It's super affordable so they do have a minimum amount of options & you have to pay for each bowl of rice that you get which is like $1.75 ( not that bad tho ) overall I really liked this place and will be coming back . read more

We have been coming here for over 10 years and we love this place. I love their sauce , it is amazing , the waiters are always so nice and helpful! The place is small but definitely worth the wait if you have to wait at all. I have been to other Korean BBQ places around the SF valley and this is my absolute favorite, I definitely recommend! The spicy pork and brisket is so delicious! read more

This is our first time here. We love Korean BBQ and yakiniku we were looking for a place nearby to eat. We found this place. There seemed not to be many in the valley but we're glad we found another place we can enjoy AYCE bbq. You would automatically seat yourself I guess if they're not that busy. We ate here on a weekday at around 430pm. Menu is very simple as it is already on the table or if you're sitting on the side of the walls the menu is up there as well. Great parking. The best part you don't have to drive all the way to KTOWN for some Korean BBQ. There were not very many choices when it came to meat selections and especially the sides. My husband and I would always stick with the same choice of meat whenever or wherever we eat Korean BBQ (brisket, pork belly, and spicy pork). It is AYCE for the price of $15.99 per person. Overall what we learned at the end of the day. The meat cooks really fast unlike some other places the grill take a while to heat up or they have to keep changing the grill. What matters most is QUALITY over QUANTITY. There BBQ was awesome. This place fills you up! The sides included salad (this was really good I enjoyed it and ate it all myself), fresh homemade kimchi, jalapeños and sweet onions (this was something new we've seen). They're where all fresh and there sauce was very delicious. The only con was they charge $1.25 for rice. Not really complaining but when it comes to meat and rice we're rice lovers! It's an Asian thing read more

I recently went there and now they are offering dining at the parking lot. They now allow to go for alcohol. I can't wait for the covid 19 to be over so I can eat inside the restaurant. read more

My coworker suggested we come here as a group after work and I was very pleased with their prices. The place is small, but they make up for it in the quantity of food they serve. Right away we were served our sides and the meat came out pretty fast! The cooking area comes out outward and depending on where you're seated, the smoke might continuously hit your face. The parking spot is very spacious, and there are other restaurants nearby I will be trying soon. It's in the same plaza as baskin Robbins; I was tempted to go in after dinner except I was too full to move!:D I will definitely be coming back. No other places beats the quality and quantity.:) read more

If you're looking for a place to satisfy your meat cravings, this is the place! It's a small location but good enough for families and couples. It's not like your other Korean BBQ places, in which they have a lot of selections. They're straight to the point with the meat: beef and pork, no chicken. The sides they have are onions, garlic, and jalapenos. You can also order other side dishes like bean paste soup, rice and salad which I honestly don't mind. I'm here for the meat and the extra sides that you get at other KBBQ places just fill me up. They have one of the most affordable prices for a KBBQ place: $14.99 for All you an eat with a selection of 5 meats and $16.99 All you can eat with a selection of 6 meats. It's a pretty good deal considering that other KBBQ places charge $21.99 or more for lunch or dinner. It's definitely a bang for your buck! read more

Hours say open till 1am. Got turned away at 11:38pm with no explanation other than we're closed. Employees seemed to have a bad attitude. Don't plan on trying to come here again read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. Terrible service, especially from the owner. He literally told us we should have stayed home cause it was windy outside.. this place is pathetic. read more

This kbbq location used to be my go to. Their staff has since changed. You could be out of water, meat, onions and jalapeños and they still won't come to assist you because they're too busy talking near the register. Not only that but this time I went there was a piece of meat on the floor near the door! The door they use to enter and exit to their outdoor patio dine in! You're going to tell me not one of their 5 employees that night noticed it for the 1.5 hours I sat and ate? ALSO keep your receipts! There is an employee who will add a tip to himself after you've signed for a different amount. read more

Great hidden spot to go get your grub on after a fun night out. It's an all you can eat for a great price per person. Service by the staff is awesome fast . read more

I looked past a lot of the flaws this place has (see previous 4-star review) but honestly, it's not worth coming when they fill the restaurant with cleaning chemical fumes while customers are still eating. They spray down tables with chemicals right next to you while you're eating (most places use something mild sprayed onto a cloth rather than spraying it into the air) and what's worse, they mop the kitchen (which is very close to the dining area since it's a small space) while food is still being served and people are still dining. Our nostrils were assaulted with strong chemical fumes so we just paid and left. The staff seemed oblivious to the effect it could have on customers. read more

I had a party of 7 and our group was running late. We told the guy we will wait till our whole group gets here and then we'll get seated. The waiter proceeds to go outside to us every 5 min and ask is everyone there yet, how much longer? And then we try to sit down with 5 in our party as the 2 other people are parking at the moment. He says rudely no you can't sit until everyone is here. Just the way he said it was so rude. When we get there the service was awful. It's only one waiter who has no customer service skills. Also there's no complimentary sides like ALL OTHER kbbq places except a sad, soggy salad. This place is not authentic and the meat and sauces tasted bland. Then when I got the bill, I was calculating how much everyone would have to Venmo me with the receipt and the waiter is watching me standing there and says can you just sign it?? I'm like wtf I'll sign it when I'm done... Also customers be weary the service fee is already included in the price I made the mistake of leaving them $25 they don't deserve. Don't eat here! read more

Wangdoyaji - Korean Near Me - Reseda, California

I don't give poor reviews very often (you can check my history) but of what I had (chicken, egg stew) it was gross. The meat seems poor quality and a lot of it I had to spit out because of poor texture/flavor. The egg stew also had an off flavor. Took a bite, spat it out, and didn't continue. Yuck. read more

Pros: open late cheap Cons: everything else When it's past midnight you don't have much choices as to where to go to get korean bbq. Personally I prefer the drive to ktown but it's hard to convince everyone else in your group to go so we have to settle for this place. The banchan is minimal and their salad isn't very good, seems like it was just dressed with some sesame oil and tons of salt. You only have a few choices of meat to choose from but I'd just stick with the brisket from here, I like how it's sliced a little thicker than most places. Service is ok, additional orders of meat came out rather quickly. They didn't have enough utensils for our table. I also hate how they pretty much charge you for everything, I usually eat two bowls of rice with my meal but I feel somewhat limited when I'm being charged per bowl. read more

Super simple but some of the best. Idk what it is but this place always hits the spot. Their salad is bomb and the wait staff is usually pretty on point even for being as busy as it usually is. read more

My husband and I came right when it opened at 5pm. There was already a line of customers waiting to get in. This place is no frills and just pretty much kbbq meat with some salad. Rice is extra charge and no side orders. Fortunately, we read the reviews prior so we knew what to expect. This isn't like other kbbq place with all the sides but the meat is great!!! For those doing the keto diet, this is the kbbq place to go. You can literally get so much beef brisket and pork belly and youre all set. We spent $32 total for the both of us, which is usually what we spend per person at other kbbq places. Our waiters were also very friendly. There were only two waiters for the whole place and they also had to work the kitchen. I feel like they were under staffed but they both still worked really fast. read more

Ate here with 2 friends, ordered from the "B" upgraded menu which unlocks Bulgogi and Spicy Pork for $3 dollars more. I'd have to say that the upgrade is worth it as the bulgogi is tender and juicy and the spicy pork is an upgrade in taste from Beef Brisket. I would NOT recommend the chicken, as the pieces are way too thick to cook evenly. Ours took 20+ minutes to cook through and even then, they had been on the grill too long and seared to a crisp, and were STILL not cooked through completely. Also, the portion size for chicken seems to be larger than any other meat. On the table comes an arrangement of Asian style dips and sauces, some salad, and onions and jalapeños. You can ask for bean paste sauce, garlic, and kimchi at no extra charge. Premium sides include bean paste soup, steamed white rice, egg stew, and "Togo". There's only chopsticks and tongs for handling the raw meat. And a seasoning salt mixture. Drinks range between $2-$4, with $2 for a bottle of water, and $3 for a 12 oz can of soda, with no free refills. However, I believe they do offer tap water. The hosts stopped to check in on us less than occasionally, we mostly had to wave at them as they walked between the tables. But they did bring what we asked for quickly, which is a plus. read more

The Good: Brisket- bomb dot com! Fatty, high quality, and delicious. I can eat this all day! Other ACE k bbq doesn't even get close flavor wise. The brisket is the reason to keep coming back. Prices- I guess prices are few dollars cheaper, but you get what you pay for. So no sides, less variety of meat Parking- in the same lot is Denny's, Tamales House, & Baskin Robbins, but there's plenty of parking The Bad: No sides- all my AYCE places has like 8+ sides. Here you are served salad, kimchi, & onions to grill. I guess rice is extra although we didn't get charged for our rice. I was really missing all the sides to eat with my meat Low Ventilation- The thing I hate about AYCE is that the smell gets stuck to your clothes and hair. Wait time- we came on a Tuesday and it was packed. About 20 minute wait with a girl screaming on the phone Overall I'd say this is a place gear towards people who really just want a lot of meat (keto, dieting, gymrats, etc) Brisket is top quality and super flavorful-- the reason I'd comeback for sure. The staff is also nice and prompt. The place itself is very average and the location is in a place I wouldn't want to be in at night. read more

Man coming here makes me hate kbbq, this place has the worst terrible meat and I would not recommend coming here. The workers are great though, even though the boss is constantly on their ass and taking their tip that I put on the table. It has been the worst kbbq nearby I still don't know how they have an "A" rating when we had to call in the owner just to change the grill because the workers said the owner said that it's fine if the grill is like that. The Workers are literally the best thing the restaurant has. Without them this place would be a mess. read more

Would of gave it 0 stars but I'm being nice. Went to eat there with a friend and we ordered a soup at 825 waited 25 minutes and still nothing - I walked in and the workers were really rude along with asking me to sign for the receipt and grabbing the tip. This place has changed over the years - forsure going somewhere else next time read more

This is one of the more affordable Korean BBQ spots I've been to. Starts at about 14.99 the food itself isn't all that special but if you are looking to get your fill of meat on the cheap this is probably the place to go. They also make a mean lettuce salad I don't know what the dressing is but I need the recipe. read more

$10.99 All You Can Eat Korean BBQ sounded suspicious, but I figured it's so cheap because they only provide Brisket and Pork Belly. However, once I saw a plate with a giant frozen ball of meat next to me, I knew exactly what to expect. The Brisket and the Pork Belly were frozen solid, which made the meat tough, flavorless, and just a huge disappointment. Though that didn't stop me from stuffing my face with it. :) The grill was cooking unevenly and was starting to annoy me. I should have used the low side to thaw out the meat, before I actually grilled it on the other side. No onions on the grill, they even warn you about it on the napkins. They provide their own special sauce that you mix with the onions and the jalapenos. If you want any other sauce, you will need to ask. For $10.99, all you get is the meat, salad, garlic and their sauce (that comes with onions and jalapenos). Now you're probably thinking... what could possible top this lovely meal? How about friends of the owner, who bring their own marinated meat (that stunk up the place) and their cute little dog inside the restaurant. Unless you're going to cook that animal, please don't bring him inside a restaurant. Thank you. Ehhh... it was $11 for AYCE KBBQ... 2 stars! :D read more

Came here because Gen had a 1 1/2 - 2 hour wait . Let me tell you this place exceeds Gen . It was less than half an hour wait , when we saw our table there already was a big plate of brisket waiting for us with salad onion/ jalapeño . As soon as we sat down they asked what we wanted to drink . The servers were on it ! They were fast and kept checking up on everyone . They never left you just staring around thinking when your meat was going to come . They didn't have banchan but it was good with the salad. I recommend this place during COVID dine out . read more

My first true UYE was here and it was a nice little group that shared some stories and Korean BBQ. Nothing like all you can eat meat and new friends! It was great meating all of you. (Get it meat and meet? oh nevermind) The food here follows the saying of "you get what you pay for." Its pretty cheap ($11 a person) but you only get the shaved brisket and bacon cut pork as your choices of meat. The quality of the meat was okay but it was still frozen which made cooking on the uneven griddles a little tough. The sides including one type of kimchee, green chili, garlic, onions and a basic salad. Yeah not much but again it was cheap and over all decent. A good quick fix for when you have a craving for some meat and don't want to make the extra drive. Side notes (some repeated from other reviews): - The sign is in Korean so look for the place behind the Denny's - Don't put the onions on the grill (even though the pictures in the place show you can) or else you'll get yelled at - As always if you are doing something after eating Korean BBQ you should have an extra change of clothes - Because of the grill they use the smoke was surprisingly kept to a minimum - You can bring in your own side dishes and meat as long as you pay the standard $11 cost - They tend to go heavy on the salt in the salt/pepper/sesame seed oil dipping sauce - Don't bring your dog anywhere near this place (or any Korean BBQ place for that matter) read more

Best place to go if you want a quick kbbq fix. We always come here and just order beef brisket and pork belly. We will order a lot of these and we will be happy at the end of the night. I love their sauce too. For some reason it's the better than any kbbq place I've been to. Oh I been to a lot, trust me. Haha They get really busy tho. So prepare to wait for a your seat. But you won't be disappointed when you sit down. Workers are really nice too. You might think they're slow at first but understand that they have a lot of people to attend to. They will serve you onions, jalapeño, salad. You can ask for garlic if you like. They charge per bowl of rice. So just keep that in mind. You shouldn't be eating a lot of rice anyway lol You can order tofu soup as well if like. read more
