Today I went with family and friends to celebrate my birthday. It was a wonderful place to have AYCE KBBQ. We did their regular/basic AYCE which is $30 per head. The basic menu had lots of dishes including bulgogi, gizzards, cheesy corn, brisket, pork belly and loads other proteins! The service was good as usual with a call button on the table. I really like how they have side dishes and carbs out for us to grab ourselves since I like to grab my own banchan. They do have ice cream and fruit as well which is delicious after a big meat meal!The ambiance is great for small and large parties for KBBQ.

Food- the meat for Standard choice is enough but not the best, the Kalbi is on the DeLuxe choice, what's great are the side dishes it is ayce as well like a buffet you get your own. Alot of choices too. Service- was okay if you ring the bell they will come right away.Ambience - okay but not great. Overall it was okay but I would still choose the other famous one. The meat needs to improve esp the marinated ones a lil bland. The radish was so good. Another thing is the service charge for 3people is not good especially we did not even get a water refill or change of grill. Forgot pictures since we were so hungry..

This Korean BBQ experience was by far the best we have had in every sense. We went here on a Sunday evening, the place wasn't crowded. May be just a couple tables were occupied.Easy to park, clean and food was fresh and AYCE. Unlimited side dish buffet table to pick and choose.Meat dish started to pour in fast as soon as the order was placed. Seeing them getting cooked on front on the table was fun. We tried almost everything and loved the pork belly, squid and the Chicken.We eat to our heart and stomach full.We are surely going here again!!

Must try!!! BBQ Garden exceeded all my expectations for an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ experience! Firstly, the cleanliness of the restaurant was impressive, setting the stage for an enjoyable dining atmosphere. The buffet station offered an array of authentic Korean banchan, including a delightful variety of kimchi and other complementary side dishes. From chap chae to spicy rice cakes, every bite was a flavorful journey. The soft serve ice cream station was a sweet surprise, and having rice, soup, and condiments readily available made the dining experience even more convenient.Secondly, the quality of the meat surpassed my expectations. The cuts were thick and well-seasoned, offering a diverse selection from the menu.The trio of sauces--salted sesame oil, soy sauce, and ssamjang--complemented the meats perfectly, adding depth to every bite.One standout feature was the exceptional grill. Maintaining consistent high heat, it ensured a perfect sear on every piece of BBQ meat. The attentive servers regularly changed the grates, preventing any burning and minimizing smoke exhaust, so diners could enjoy the delicious flavors without worrying about leaving the restaurant smelling like BBQ.Moreover, the service was top-notch. Not being a Korean person dining at a Korean BBQ restaurant, I was treated with kindness and respect by the friendly staff. This was not always my experience in the past at other Korean BBQs I've dined at, so this was a pleasant surprise. They were always attentive, ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional.In conclusion, I highly recommend BBQ Garden to anyone craving an unforgettable Korean BBQ experience. From the cleanliness to the quality of food and exceptional service, every aspect of our visit left a lasting impression. I can't wait to return for another delicious meal!

We went here Saturday night as a guest of my sister & her fiancee w/my wife & brother in law. This place was probably a China Buffet as the layout of the restaurant inside is identical. We were all craving Korean Barbecue. In this respect this is what they provide couple w/a self serve Banchan in the room next door. It wasn't cheap. They had 2 options both were AYCE, one was $29.95/person & the other was also AYCE @ $38.95/person. She ordered the more expensive of the 2 options. The tables all come equipped with hot plates where you cook your own meat. There are vertical tubes that pull down directly over the cooking plate to remove any fumes from the area. We ordered a number of different meats that were brought to our table to be cooked by us w/metal tongs & scissors to cut the meatWe ordered 2 each of the following dishes * Pork Belly (pure fat not much meat) * marinated chicken thigh * Beef Bulgogi (this was my favorite item) * Beef Short Ribs (not too bad) * Shrimp (mehhh). Don't bring shrimp to a meat fest lol)They had a little 3 tray dish & each spot for dipping the meat. I really liked the sesame & salt BBQ Garden a prime example of a Buffet, by that I mean QUANTITY VS QUALITY. At $38.95/person you kind of expect a higher quality, but unfortunately it was more about quantity over quality. FYI - They put an automatic 18% on the bill for gratuity. Would I go back again? Probably not for the price point verses the quality of the food. In my opinion there are far better Korean barbecue like New Seoul Korean Barbecue in Des Plaines

All food was amazing, can't complain. The banchan bar is the reason we went and did not disappoint, had all of my favorites. Also our grill pan was changed multiple times without us having to ask. Top notch.

Was very excited to eat here. Service was unusual , our server comes over three times in the beginning to ask us what we would like and we start to tell her and she walks away. We ordered the deluxe menu. It was OK. The quality of meat was really poor. It looks like an incredible selection but the grade of meat was terrible. They have a huge selection of ban Chan . I was really excited to try it, but to me pretty much everything tasted the same. I had a very hard time with communication. I don't understand when you talk to someone in the service industry and they walk away.

It was my first time at BBQ Garden. This restaurant is great if you want to get seated and eat fast. There's a ton of seating, I can't imagine there ever being a waiting time. There is a self serve sections for the side dishes, soups, and ice cream. It's like a buffet where you grab a plate and grab whatever you'd like. There was a great selection of side dishes.We ordered a good amount of different meats. The only meat we liked was the brisket. The quality of the other meats weren't too good, but was edible. Corn cheese was yummy! You receive it in a hot plate, so it stayed hot. Customer service was great. There was a lot of employees around, we never felt like we had to wait for a long time. They work so fast and get you everything right away. There's a lot of competition in the area for AYCE kbbq. I would only come back if I am really hungry and wanted food asap. This place isn't terrible, but not in my tops for AYCE Korean bbq.

I looooved this place! It almost gives diner vibes but the prices are great and the food is delicious. I went with a couple friends and got the regular ayce deal, which was somewhere around $30 per person. I love that the appetizers are self serve, and I filled up my plate with kimchi, radishes, kimbap, and tons of other delicious foods. Of the different meats we had, I liked the beef bulgogi and samgyupsal the best. Overall, great experience, great food, nice price. I certainly wouldn't be mad if I ended up back here again.

Every time we come here--an absolute banger. Excellent service--you walk in and you basically just eat right away. Never had a bad experience. Bathrooms are kinda mid, but that's how you know the food is gonna slap. Wouldn't go here for a blind date, but I'd bring a starving brother here any time, any day.
