Marble Steakhouse & Grille

Came here with my girlfriend for our four-month anniversary after a last-minute cancellation at Perch LA, and let me tell you--we left with absolutely no regrets! While I've always been partial to AYCE KBBQ, Marble Steakhouse and Grille completely changed my perspective on an à la carte experience. From the quality of the meats to the exceptional service, every detail of our meal exceeded expectations.We opted for the Large Combo, which came out to around $150 (tax included)--a price well worth it considering the portion sizes and quality of ingredients. The combo featured a generous serving of beef brisket, our choice between beef short rib or ribeye, and a beautifully marbled steak, all accompanied by mushrooms, chives, and onions. While we did have to wait about 30 minutes for a table, the experience proved well worth it. One of the standout features at Marble is that the staff cooks the meats for you, ensuring that each cut is expertly grilled to perfection. Every bite was beautifully seasoned, incredibly juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth tender.The brisket was an absolute delight--rich, flavorful, and incredibly filling--the perfect way to kick off the meal. The short rib and steak were served at a perfect medium-rare, showcasing the freshness and premium quality of the meat. Each bite was packed with bold, meaty flavors that paired beautifully with the side dishes.Speaking of sides, Marble doesn't disappoint when it comes to banchan! The meal came with an array of refillable sides, including kimchi pancake, fish cake, broccoli, and other traditional Korean accompaniments. The kimchi pancake was unlike anything I've had before--crispy on the outside, packed with flavorful kimchi and vegetables on the inside, offering the perfect balance of crunch and zest.To round out the meal, we were served steamed egg and tofu soup, both of which were fantastic complements to the meats. The steamed egg was light, fluffy, and perfectly cooked, with no burnt edges--an absolute must-try. The tofu soup was equally impressive, featuring generous portions of meat, cucumber, and tofu, all immersed in a rich, savory broth that tied everything together beautifully.Overall, Marble Steakhouse and Grille delivers an exceptional dining experience, offering top-tier meats, generous portions, and incredible flavors at a price that truly reflects its value. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an unforgettable KBBQ experience, this spot is definitely worth checking out. 10/10--will absolutely be coming back!

We got the small set of beef which includes thinly sliced brisket, marinated and non-marinated boneless short rib. Definitely enough for 2 people and they cook it for you. The banchan was a little different from other KBBQ places. I really like the jullienned green onions and the corn dish, that is something I don't remember seeing at other places.The decor inside is modern and feels new. The service was exceptional!I thought the brisket was decent, but when the set menu was a little pricier than at an AYCE restaurant I expected it to be better. It was a little dry unfortunately.The non-marinated boneless short beef had nice marble to it which came out in the flavor. It was very juicy and packed with flavor.We also got the naengmyeon or the cold buckwheat noodles. Refreshing with all the beef we had.But the star of the night has to be marinated boneless short rib. The flavoring on the marinade really compliments the beef. I believe it was soy based with a lot of garlic, which was right up my alley.

Came here for Valentine's Day and it was a great experience!We were so surprised at how spacious the interior is, the high ceilings and dark woodsy vibes were so nice.They have large tables so they can definitely accommodate for larger partiesWe ordered the small beef combo which came with brisket, marinated boneless short rib, & our choice of either ribeye or non marinated boneless short rib where we chose the latter. It also comes w a soybean stew and steamed eggWe ordered another boneless short rib which was highkey waaaay too much food for the two of us xD but it was deliciousThe side dishes were really good! I absolutely LOOOOOVE how they have raw marinated shrimp as a banchan bc like what other kbbq place has that as a side dish?!?! Absolutely amazingOnly downside was that their kimchi was a bit bland but their kimchi pancake was super dankAlisha was an amazing server!!! She cooked our meat to perfection and was sooo sweet and personableShe gave us free dessert which ended our meal perfectlyI highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for some really good quality Korean bbq with great service and good vibesCan't wait to come back to try the beef tongue and pork belly hehe

Great ambiance inside. Service was a bit slow but we went on vday so it was busy. Loved the sides they also include raw fermented shrimp. The tofu stew had so much flavor

Pretty good kbbq spot in Irvine aside from baekjeong. Service was great and food was good.When we went they no longer served the pasta items.

Marble has a lovely ambiance and a plethora of good side dishes. The employees were always on hand to help and they grill the meat for you. We came here for dinner and it wasn't busy at all, so it was an ideal place to chill and talk. If you're looking for a high-end K barbecue place with a quieter ambience then this is perfect. It is a little pricey for the quality of meat offered, but I would definitely eat here again for the service and atmosphere!

This place is a nice scenery away from ayce kbbq. You could tell this place focus on service and quality meat since it's not ayce. We were seated in the middle tables without the table grill but they cooked the meat elsewhere before putting it on our portable grill to keep warm. They were great in keeping our banchans refilled once they're empty, it's nice of them without having us to ask!We had a large party so we ordered 3 combos, as well as some other side meats and raw crab which was plenty of food. The crab was very flavorful and fresh compared to other Korean restaurants. They also provided us all with gloves to keep our hands clean. Come here if you want good quality Korean bbq meat!

Really good kbbq! We came in on a saturday night and it was pretty busy. For my wife and I, the small beef combo was great. The quality of the beef was good and we really enjoyed the boneless short rib and the marinated one as well. The sides were perfect and very unique compared to other kbbq spots. I would say the concept is similar to gooyi92 and baekjeong with the set meat combos and having the staff cook for you. However, the pace was way too quick. It felt a little rushed as they were trying to cook the food so quick, especially for my wife, who isn't the fastest eater out there.For the sides, we really enjoyed the scallion salad and the seakelp with garlic. I loved how they were generous with the portion when you ask for more. I did wish they had a better system for reservations. I believe you can only call ahead. It looks like theres no online reservation system such as opentable or yelp. Regardless, we will still be back.

I had the best experience here!! Everything was sooo good. The meats were melt in your mouth delicious and the banchans were addicting. This is most def one of the best KBBQ places in Irvine. There wasn't a single thing I didn't enjoy. Came with a group of 6. We ordered one of the combo sets and added pork jowl, two spicy cold noodles, and a seafood pancake. Everything tasted like perfection. We were stuffed. Service was top notch. Everything is cooked for you - shout out to Gary who did an amazing job! We didn't feel rushed or anything like you probably would at Baekjeong. I cannot wait to come back again!

I had dinner here with my family and ordered $500 worth of Korean bbq. The service was terrible. They were slow to take our order, they took forever to cook our meat. We tried to cook it ourselves, that grabbed their attention. We would have been ignored even more if it wasn't for that. I will never go back for dinner service here. The food was decent, the service was just horrible. Never seen service this bad for a meal that cost that much. That was reallyDisappointing. Won't be returning for dinner ever again.
