My daughter really wanted me to try this place but when we went it was a different story. We got their at 10:30,and the big tall bold haired lady was really Rude ,I think she wanted to go home,but restaurant closes at 12,I think she was mad because she wanted to go home early but we showed up ,the younger guy told us as saying sorry for the rudenes joked with us that she was “tired” ,the other lady was mean too I think she was the manager,but the the younger staff where very nice,they really saved the night,because the older lady snatched the menu away from my hand and when asked for a Manger I was told they didn’t have one working that night,we didn’t know what to order sense it was our first time and we asked for octopus and when the younger staff brought us one the older lady got mad and went and took the food of the table and scolded the younger ones,I didn’t know at the time that we couldn’t get that, I have a video of him getting yelled at,the older lady’s were talking about us in their language,and we can tell it was not nice, I think they got made cause I gave each Young staff 5$ as a tip because they were the only ones that made me feel welcomed and I think they gave the tips to the older lady,I didn’t like that but okay,I will never go back their again ,worst experience every.

This Korean BBQ spot was absolutely delicious! They offer a great variety of dishes, and everything we tried was full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even better. I have to mention their paper rice and radish kimchi, they were exceptionally good and really stood out. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

Overall, it’s just ok. The meat quality at AYCE restaurants is always going to be lower, so I expected that. The side dishes were pretty good. Magkeolli was really nice. The smoke vent does not work well so it’s really smoky in there and the smoke blows in your face while the meat cooks. The decor inside is minimal. Kind of expensive for what you get. I don’t think I’ll come back.

My family and I have been coming here for years. We love the food, but more importantly the staff. They are always so welcoming and quick to help. We especially enjoy when Rudy is our server, he is always ready with suggestions to try new meats and he is very attentive. We look forward to our next visit!

Some feedback to the manager or owner:
Tonight, my wife and I decided to give your restaurant a try. We behaved respectfully, ordered courteously, and did nothing that would warrant the attitude we received from you.
You served us for most of the evening, though a few of your employees helped toward the end of our meal. When you returned near the end, you demanded that we finish a portion of food and threatened to charge us for leftovers — after we had already paid our bill.
When I pointed this out, you proceeded to scold the employee who had processed our payment, in front of us. For the record, his service far exceeded yours. He was polite, attentive, and professional. He did not deserve that treatment and is owed an apology.
This was the first time we’ve ever been given a hard time for leaving a reasonable amount of food uneaten. Not every dish will appeal to every customer, and that’s simply part of the dining business. Your material costs are not the only thing that matter — customer goodwill is far more valuable.
To be fair, the food, atmosphere, and pricing were all reasonable. But the service experience with you left a lasting impression. Before returning, we would have to decide whether we’re in the mood to risk another confrontational experience.
Finally, one of your employees sprayed cleaning solution (likely Windex) near our table, which landed on my pregnant wife and possibly her food. We chose to overlook this in good faith—until your own behavior made the evening impossible to ignore.

The food for the price is stellar.
Came late at night with a large group, called ahead as sometimes they close early but they stayed open to accommodate us.
The Bulgogi is absolutely phenomenal. Great for groups.

This place was phenomenal! The food and service were beyond any of my expectations, and I definitely plan many more visits here. So let’s walk step by step through this one, because it is definitely worthy of being highlighted. To start, this was a recommendation from several people that spoke about it in a way that made me say we have to take a trip here. They would speak about the food as if reliving the experience noting how each item was throughly enjoyed– a proper foodie tell, so I rounded my kids up during their spring break and we made the 30 minute drive to this specific location even though there is another closer. We were told, Garden Grove location specifically will not disappoint and I tell you, they were right!
So we find the parking lot, which was a touch confusing because we had to circle back around to a side road to access it. Once we found it, the entrance to be honest was a touch concerning because there was graffiti on the wall and it didn’t necessarily look safe. Once 11:30 hit, we headed in as their first customers for the day and pleasantly surprised at this recently renovated interior area. It was clean, spacious, well lit, and music lightly playing in the background that made the environment inviting and relaxing. The waitress was exactly what we needed– patient, helpful, and attentive. I had a lot of questions because this was an extensive menu and could easily be overwhelming. She guided me through all of the options for all you can eat, lunch only options, various meat options, and proper grilling times for each meat.
Once we decided on the order, the table was dressed with all of the sides, two grills because I didn’t want the pork and beef to mix since I am not a pork eater, and our beverages. The utensils were very clean and the silver goblets for water kept the water very cold, even without ice. Once the meat started arriving, we began the grilling process and let me say, it was an experience! The smell of the food was making our stomachs growl and we couldn’t wait to give this food a shot. They have hefty portions, but none of it went to waste because we made sure not to eat before this feast. Literally everything was good! The rice, soup, marinated beef, beef belly, squid, pork marinated, pork belly, small intestines, pickled cucumbers, kimchi, seaweed, and dipping sauces. Again, I don’t eat pork, but my kids couldn’t get enough!
The waitress was able to help for most of our visit because we were the only people there for a while since we arrived early. She made us feel so welcomed and was happy to help us have a good experience. I appreciated her demeanor and guidance through the process because it did make all of the difference. At the end of the visit, make sure you don’t walk out the door without getting their blueberry ice cream. It was the perfect sized sweet treat to end this feast! I was so full after this meal, I literally could not eat dinner because I was full into the evening hours. I never overeat, but I couldn’t help myself at this place because it was truly that good. Every bite I relished and completely understood after leaving why the personal recommendations we received were so high. Not one issue here. The exterior of the restaurant could use some work, but man oh man, this humble restaurant on the side of the road blew our minds!!

Place recommended by a friend and I’m glad we tried it. This is such good Korean barbecue and would love to go in person for the all you can eat.
The menu to go is only in the Grubhub app and not on the website – in case anyone is confused like I was when looking to place my order for pick up

Traditional Korean BBQ. The price is fair. Service is great. The quality of meat is great. My family and my friends’ family have had a good time. Thanks Shik Do Rak for opening during Thanksgiving and not adding minimum expenses. The sides are not as many as other Korean BBQ. Maybe it is because the holiday. I can see that they are out of servers. Overall, it is a good place for lunch or dinner.

Food was average good for AYCE. The finger steaks were very tough and chewy though. Everything else was good quality meat including the tongue.
They did a great job with checking on us regularly for side dishes, dipping sauces and water refills. Everything we ordered, or asked for came out quickly too.
