Wang Cho Korean BBQ

Review:This Korean BBQ spot is amazing! The meat is incredibly fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The selection is fantastic, with plenty of options to satisfy everyone at the table. The grilling experience is fun and interactive, making it a great place to enjoy with friends or family. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring you always have what you need. If you're looking for delicious food and a memorable dining experience, this is the place to go!

As an Asian who eats a lot of kbbq, it's really not good. Meat - Dry and chewyBanchan - Few and not flavorfulSauce - Not flavorful enough and not at the slightest sour/tangy for the brisket sauce and radish paper. Overall it was not an enjoyable kbbq experience

First timer and it was 10/10 experience! Parking was easy! The restaurant is open, booth and table options. Food came out quick and servers were attentive to refill meats and do grill changes! Fave meats: beef belly, short rib, garlic chicken. Would definitely come back!

I came here with my good friend at around 3ish or 4ish. It was still slow, so we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The menu comes in 3 different meal options which are Prince, King, and Emperor. Cheapest one is Prince, which is about 30-35 dollars I think. There are a variety of options to choose just for the cheapest option. Me and my friend mostly just ordered spicy beef brisket and spicy beef belly, which came as good meat quality. Servers here were pretty good too. They respond quickly and I can see how hard they work by running around. My only issue with this place is really just the grill. It's either that or the flame, but the grills burns up quickly. So every time meat gets put onto the grill, it will start to get burnt quickly. So we had to keep asking the servers to constantly change it. This place was quite large for a KBBQ spot. It kinda feels like Gen.

Their website says they close at midnight. We came on a Saturday night at 10pm, they told us last call in 10 minutes. We drove an hour to get here! Service was fast and efficient, however. Our server said they weren't busy this evening, so the "Manager" decided to close shop early. Hah! How about that.As we were still eating, the staff started cleaning up to close around us--mopping the floors, putting chairs on top of tables, and even having someone stand right next to our table, holding a mop! Clearly waiting for us to finish. So rude! We understand that every business has closing hours, but there's a way to handle it without making customers feel rushed or unwelcome. Instead of allowing us to enjoy our meal, we felt pressured to hurry up and leave. It completely ruined the experience, and we left feeling uncomfortable and dissatisfied. They should have waited until after we were finished to begin cleanup. At least the section where all the other customers were.Sadly, this lack of courtesy and professionalism overshadowed everything else.

Probably not my top favorite Kbbq spot but it's still good. I normally just get brisket and it didn't disappoint. I also tried Bulgogi and it was just alright. I thought the spicy bulgogi would have more flavor but it was just bland without the dipping sauces. I could have skipped the garlic chicken and had the teriyaki chicken instead cause that was good. There wasn't not enough banchan options here. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area, but it's not my first choice

"Everybody Wang Cho'ng tonight!"I've been to this spot a few times with my friend AA, and it's clear why it's his go-to for AYCE KBBQ. He's at Wang Cho Korean BBQ almost weekly, so much that I'm pretty sure the staff know him by name - HA! I joke but I'm sure it's true.Since this place is like a second home for AA, I let him take the lead on both the ordering and the grilling for us.Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&start=504&select=lvcAQTXidN2VHQoRQXN2nAWang Cho Korean BBQ delivers a solid Korean BBQ. The all-you-can-eat option offers a wide selection of meats, including beef brisket, short ribs, and pork belly, all of which come well-marinated and flavorful. The meat quality is good for the price, though some cuts could be a little fresher at times.Meats - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&start=504&select=1OEFq2l7At0Ygue4cwEwFw The banchan (side dishes) are generous, with kimchi, pickled radishes, and a nice variety of vegetables. While the variety isn't overwhelming, they complement the BBQ well, adding a balance of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors to the meal.Banchan - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&start=504&select=9pxF38GsIGG-yFIECEjlXAOne standout aspect of Wang Cho is the great service. The staff are quick to refill banchan and drinks and replace grills before they get too charred - an important detail that makes the dining experience more enjoyable. (The last AYCE Korean BBQ place that AA and I went to, wasn't so diligent in replacing the grill and he made note of it.) The restaurant gets busy, especially on weekends, but the servers still manage to stay on top of things without making you feel rushed.Dipping sauces - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&start=504&select=dJjEO1XbCDSAWDd_34_MCAThe atmosphere is lively and loud, which is to be expected in a Korean BBQ joint, but it may not be the best spot if you're looking for an intimate or quiet dinner. It's a great place for groups, especially since they have larger tables that can accommodate parties easily.Pricing is fair for what you get, though the premium menu is definitely worth the few extra dollars if you're a fan of more specialty meats like galbi or rib-eye.Overall, Wang Cho is a solid pick if you're craving some KBBQ in Orange County. The food, service, and ambiance make it a fun spot for a casual night out with friends or family, especially if you're ready to indulge in some serious BBQ feasting!I'm looking forward to the next time we return.- Big Aloha!Food: 4Ambiance: 4Service: 5Value: 4

The food is delicious, service is amazing and the environment can be fun. I recommend getting a booth if you like privacy like me. I come here often, everyone is very friendly and attentive.

On it's website, Wang Cho Korean BBQ states that it is "California's premier all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurant". In addition to this Santa Ana Store, there are locations in Chino and Riverside.The system is easy. They have three packages: the Prince, the King and the Emperor. Compared to the Prince, the King has a longer list of items to choose from; and the Emperor has a more robust selection than both the Prince and King.On this occasion, our group of three each chose the Prince (3 x $33.00). We also ordered a hot tea ($2.95), Sapporo draft ($7.00) and Coors Light bottle ($5.50). With tax ($10.58), our ticket was $125.03 before gratuity.We were provided with a good selection of banchan (side dishes). All of the banchan were "good" in both quality and taste, but nothing was particularly noteworthy. The thing I appreciated was the wide selection.The proteins ordered (beef, pork, chicken, octopus) was good quality; and the food was seasoned well, too.The store was well staffed. Getting a hold of someone to make an additional request was always easy. And someone came by regularly to exchange fresh griddle plates onto the BBQ.In short, the food was good; the service was very good; the environment was neat (clean); the exhaust fans worked really well.

Went during lunch on a Saturday - and the service and food were impeccable. I highly recommend the Garlic Pork Belly and Rosemary shrimp - so be sure to eat like a King, and get the king menu Ambiance was pretty normal for a KBBQ place - but I have to say some of the best service I've ever had.
