Reviews
We ordered the $142 3-4 people Beef combo (L). It comes with three kinds of meat, a tofu soup, and steamed egg. Side note, you don’t need to order anything extra with the combo, it’s more than enough filling.
The atmosphere is beautiful, the restaurant uses plenty of wood and lighting which was a surprise, since the restaurant is inside Woodbury Town center not usually know for high end offerings.
Gary was our server, he was so attentive and helpful. My party enjoyed the show of him grilling the premium meat to perfection (photos attached). Also, the sauce provided is delicious and pairs so well with everything, even the veggies. The beef itself tasted high quality, not oily nor too chewy. The people here really picked the best cuts to serve.
We even received a free rice bowl on them because they brought us extra, it was such a generous gesture. Furthermore, the refillable side dishes were also all delicious, and we were able to take an extra portion home.
Overall, it was one of the best experiences I had at a Korean BBQ restaurant, it feels higher end than the other place near Mitsuwa Marketplace. I highly recommend trying this place out for the meats and service!
PS: this is my first review, so it’s quite long, but I had to write a review about how great this place is!
The grilling itself is a performance. The sizzling sound, the aroma filling the air, and the presentation all come together to create a sensory experience. Special mention goes to Gary Perez, whose grilling technique is not only professional but almost artistic—smooth, confident, and visually captivating.
To complement the premium combo, we also ordered the $15 Spicy Pork Stone Pot Bibimbap. It arrived piping hot, with the rice sizzling in the stone bowl. Once mixed, the spicy flavors balanced beautifully with the crispy bits of rice, making it the perfect pairing with the grilled meat.
Overall, Marble BBQ isn’t just a meal—it’s a refined dining experience that combines flavor, service, and presentation. For anyone in Irvine looking for an elevated Korean BBQ night, this spot is a must-try.

What made the experience even better was the service. The staff grills every piece of meat for you at the table, so you don’t have to worry about cooking anything yourself. They were very attentive, friendly, and made sure each cut was cooked perfectly.
The cold noodle was also delicious and refreshing, a perfect balance after the rich meats. On top of that, the restaurant is very clean and upscale, more like a fine-dining restaurant than a typical BBQ spot.
If you’re looking for a premium Korean BBQ place with great food, excellent service, and a classy atmosphere, this is definitely worth it. I’ll absolutely be coming back.
Service is great, staff is attentive to detail. They picked off the burned parts and refill the side dishes quickly when they are low or empty.
Ambience: nice decoration and quiet. Great place to have good meat with conversation with friends and family.
Again, their food is really good.
What They Nail
The quality of the steak is phenomenal. You can tell they aren’t cutting corners with their sourcing; every cut was incredibly tender, and cooked to perfection. It is easily some of the best meat I’ve had recently.
Pairing that with the top-notch service made for a great night out. The staff was incredibly professional, proactive, and genuinely friendly. They really go above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of, which creates a fantastic atmosphere.
Where It Falls Short
Despite the high-end feel, the experience felt incomplete because they were missing several “staple” items you expect at any Korean barbecue house. We were surprised to find no rice paper and, even more shockingly, no kimchi. These aren’t just extras; they are foundational to the meal.
The Pricing Philosophy
My biggest gripe, however, was being charged extra for a bowl of rice. When you are already paying for a premium meat package, charging for rice feels “cheap.”
As a diner, I would much rather pay $90 for a package that includes the essentials than pay $82 and see a separate charges for basics like rice. It’s a psychological thing..charging for a basic staple at a high-end steakhouse feels like nickel-and-diming the customer. It’s a small detail that unfortunately leaves a “budget” aftertaste on an otherwise premium experience.
The Bottom Line: The food is delicious and the people are wonderful, but I hope they consider including the traditional essentials to truly match the high quality of their steak.

THEY CHARGE YOU GRATUITY ALREADY IN YOUR TOTAL, BUT THE CREDIT CARD PRINT OUT STILL HAS A TIP LINE!! THIS FOOLS THE CUSTOMERS INTO PAYING TIP TWICE!!!
I’ve been going to this restaurant ever since they opened and I didn’t realize this until my last visit, paying double tip everytime I’ve visited the restaurant…..
++VERY SHADY PRACTICE IMO++
When I called them out on this, their response was pretty curt, stating I don’t have to pay the extra tip if I don’t want to. -.-;;
This restaurant is a total rip-off. Check your receipt carefully — they sneak in a 17% gratuity automatically, and then the final bill still shows a Tips line, making you think you should add another tip. If you follow the usual custom and add 20%, you’ll end up paying nearly 45% in tips! That’s insane.
When I asked the server if “gratuity” was the same as tip, she pretended not to understand and told me to ask the manager. The manager finally admitted the tip was already included. Just imagine how many guests don’t notice this — I’d bet 80% fall into the trap. Dishonest and unacceptable!
