All That Barbecue - Irvine

All that BBQ has been a personal favorite of mine for the past 10+ years. It's a no frills AYCE KBBQ at very reasonable prices. The meat quality is average but they offer everything you need to have a great meal. Variety of sauces, soups, and bonchons that a lot of other kbbq places lack. A wide variety of meats from beef, pork, chicken and seafood. My fave cuts are the brisket and the beef tongue! They have a large space with a lot of tables. Sometimes the music can be super loud but doesn't ruin my experience. I come here whenever I want AYCE that hits without breaking the bank. It's consistent with great service every time.

Food - the meat quality is alright, definitely not terrible but nothing that made me want to eat here again. We ordered practically everything on the menu but nothing really stood out. There were too many things that were ordered to give an in depth review of each cut, but just know that it's good, but not great. Would give it a solid 6.5/10Service - I had to flag down our server everytime for something, they never came on their own to ask if we needed anything which was kind of annoying. But we did over order and I asked how much we would be charged but the server just let jt slide so shoutout to that person, you know who you are and you're a g.Ambience - exactly what you would expect from a kbbq place, boisterous and lively with slipper floors.Overall nothing special, I would typically give it a 4/5 stars however with the current inflation of kbbq resulting in prices ranging from the $35-45 mark, I think excellence needs to be shown to get your moneys worth from these types of places and honestly it was just alright. I think Gangam Station is only like $5 more expensive but is exponentially better. So this rating is comprehensive and comparative to other kbbq restaurants, not just restaurants as a whole. It should also be noted that KBBQ is held to a different standard as they don't cook for you, so the main factors are the service and the quality of the meat.

It's been months since I last went and recently went with coworkers. I was disappointed with the portion of some of the meats they gave us. There were 3 of us and 1 order of boneless short rib was so tiny, it was only meant to feed 1 person. We literally only had a bite each of the meat after it was cooked. It was busy when we went, I feel like our server didn't really pay attention to us and it didn't help that we were seated in the last table, close to the restrooms. Our burner knob was broken, we couldn't adjust the flames so it was stuck in 1 setting.I was bummed because I picked the restaurant for us to eat at and the experience was just alright.

This place is great. Love that there's no menu A B or C. It's just one menu, straight forward. Service is great. Food is delicious, and price is not bad. I just wish they have better air vents cuz man we smell like smoke after and can't hide it. lol.

Disclaimer: I'd say that that I would normally rate this 4 stars but am dropping it down to 2 stars because my husband and I had stomach aches after our meal here. I've been to multiple kbbq ayce places before and this is the only one that I've experienced this with.We came here for a weekday dinner with a party of 5. It was about an hour wait, so it's a good idea to put your name on the list beforehand if you can so you're not waiting around a long time. There is a pretty large selection of meats here and if you're a meat lover, this is an excellent option if you're ready to eat a lot. My favorite item here was probably the short ribs and I appreciate how they are boneless here which makes it easier to eat. Overall, the food here is enjoyable, however, I feel like given the price point of $35/pp for dinner, I had higher expectations. Gen is $29/pp and I feel like the meat quality itself and the flavors are better there. The ambiance here is pretty casual, but clean. Service is attentive and the meats came out quickly after we put in our order, which I appreciated. The store itself is in a plaza with ample parking.

Met up with friends and I'm glad we made reservations ahead of time. Our server was very friendly and attentive. They had a great selection of meats but I was the most impressed with their cheese corn! I love how it came in a big dish to cook in.

This place IS All That! We came from Vegas & ate here a 2 years ago while visiting friends in Mission Viejo. We loved it so much we had to eat here again while in town again. We came shortly after they opened and had quite an appetite after our morning workout and a 6 mile hike in Whiting Ranch. So we were ready to throw down! They had a huge party of over 20 people when we got there. But it did not affect our service. There was never a time we had to wait excessively long to order something, ask for napkins etc. The music is so good too! Lots of remixes of popular songs played in the background. I appreciated that. We ordered off the lunch menu. Our favs were of course the beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi and garlic chicken. We tried the spicy chicken bulgogi and spicy baby squid and tbh there was so much sauce you couldn't even taste the meat. A little over kill for us. Plus the sauce gets all over the grill and can make everything else you cook taste like nothing but sauce. We should have been more careful about keeping it contained one spot on the grill. We ordered the Winnie the Pooh rice sticks which were ok. Basically the rice sticks are a vessel to get the honey to your face lol. We thought they would be like mochi sticks w the honey mixed into the rice stick. Our mistake. But I ate them so they didn't go to waste lol. My husband loved his coffee ice cream macaroon. We have a hard time finding them in that flavor for dessert in Vegas so he was very happy.We WILL come back when we're in town again. We'll just stick to the Bulgogi classics though.

Really yummy meat and flavorful sides! Pretty impressed with the quality of everything! The service was great and fast, we came on a friday night and there was no wait. Lots of seating. The sides were very good and i would definitely come back

I haven't been back here for a couple years it seems. Was originally planning to go to All that Shabu but ended up here because there was no wait. I guess I found out why they no longer have much of a wait. Their prices are similar to other AYCE KBBQ and hot pot places, but the meat quality was super disappointing. I've never had such tough ribeye steak. Not sure what grade meat they are using or if we just got really unlucky. The brisket was also low quality and tough and chewy. The filet mignon was decent. Service was friendly but unfortunately, I don't think I'll be coming back here anytime soon.

Been coming here for years. Prices def increased now at $36.99. Not worth it for smaller people such as myself but maybe once a year go for the experience and company of friends.Potato salad is good but I only really liked the flavor of the brisket. The rice paper here is too thick and a little hard. I would go back to Gen or Manna before going back here.Service was just ok. They forgot to bring us a dish.
