Kangnam Korean BBQ

Friendly service. Good food. Lots of options for side dishes. Went on Saturday afternoon and didn't have to wait to be seated.

Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it didn't disappoint.My Top 7 Items That Are 10/10 at Kangnam Korean BBQ 1. Best kimchi. Lots of umami flavor & freshness. 2. Spicy Pork Bulgogi 3. Teriyaki Brisket 4. Steamed Egg 5. Fresh Pickled Radish Wraps 6. Sesame Balls!! Amazing 7. Green Onion Salad! So refreshing and delicious.Great customer service, clean, and well-designed restaurant. Our waitress brought a birthday treat out and it was a great time. I'm definitely going to keep coming back here. It's now my favorite KBBQ!

We've been coming here since the restaurant was opened for the very beginning as "Olleh"'. Throughout the years, the consistency of taste, service, and cleaness have had its up and down.Our recent visit as a family meal was pleasant. The service was exquisite, and all the meat and side dishes taste great, better than Manna. We will definitely come back more.

I stopped here for lunch after concluding business in the area, and it looked so delicious! I was hopeful, as I'm a regular at KBBQ in SD and Irvine and hadn't found many with intestines or abomasum. They also had a lunch special option, which is awesome! My boyfriend and I checked in at quarter to 2, so we figured we would get seated prior to the lunch hours ending at 2:30 since we were told about a 25 to 30 minute wait. We didn't think anything of it since we enjoyed one another's company. Forty-five minutes go by, and we still haven't been seated, and we were both quite hungry. At shortly after 2:45, we were seated and asked if we could still order from the lunch menu since we had gotten there at around 1:45. The server had to ask but told us they'd only honor it until last call, which ended in 45 minutes. So, we opted for the regular premium menu and were seated in an intimate corner table, which neither of us minded. Until we realized that no one came to take our order for another 15 minutes! We had to wave down a waitress taking orders across the restaurant. The order did come to the table on a cute robot with our table number, but it is a serve-yourself robot, so we had to determine which order was ours and which was the table next to ours. So we made new friends, but it was to get our food correct. After another 20 minutes, my boyfriend had to go seek out another server to get another round of orders. After that, a waiter did come to our table a couple of times, but the poor guy looked like he was being run ragged. He was visibly sweating. TLDR; the food was good, but the lack of service, wait time, and price is not worth the quality.

My family decided to try the weekday lunch special pricing of this KBBQ restaurant so we made the 30 minute trip on a Thursday.We arrived around 1pm, and they seemed to be understaffed as there were open tables but we weren't seated until 20 minutes passed.The bad: kimchi was oddly sweet as another reviewer noted. Kimchi fried rice was soggy overcooked rice. Japjae had no sesame oil flavor.The good: corn cheese and French fries were good although a little bit oily.The meat was quality was okay and nothing to really write about.Service was friendly but a little slow.I think this restaurant is related to Olleh in Kearny Mesa since the workers wear Olleh branded clothing... but I don't think the quality is the same as the KM location.Parking free and plentiful in parking lot.

We went quite early for dinner and the servers were great. The prime menu was solid and I loved the beef tongue. Love the sides they give for AYCE bbq and the vibes are like another typical Korean AYCE bbq place with K-pop, tvs, and grills everywhere. Everything was pretty prompt and the establishment felt clean. They changed the grill whenever we asked.Corn cheese and japchae was a nice addition to sides.

Every time we visit our daughter and daughter in law, they take us to a new-to-us K-bbq spot. This has been my favorite! We arrived for an early dinner around 5pm. They have a Yelp check in tablet when you enter. They also have a Yelp waitlist - I definitely recommend using that! We only waited around five minutes for our table. The big booth was plenty roomy for the five of us. Someone came over right away to bring us water, loved that. Our waiter came by shortly after to take initial orders which we always leave up to our daughter. The banchan here was great; I think I ordered half the items on the list. The cheese corn was really good as well as the spicy tofu stew and egg custard. I wish it wasn't so hot, I would have ate more. The cucumber salad and japchae were good not great. They also offered beer by the glass or pitche with three IPA offerings - say less! Service was excellent. We were a little disappointed that the robot didn't bring any of our food. But so grateful Our waiter came over often and was good about changing out our grill and bringing more water and napkins.I am looking forward to coming here again, definitely recommend.

Was in the area for a doctor's appointment and was craving some KBBQ. Found this place and decided to give it a try. The parking spaces are a bit tight, but the restaurant was easy to find and quite spacious. They have a great lunch menu with adult and kid prices.There was a decent variety of choices and sides and the servers were so kind and helpful. They have a few robots that run around delivering so it was fun for the kids to grab the dishes from the robots.Major TIP: If you happen to order a side that comes in a metal container, make sure you put it on the grill to heat up. I ordered the cheese fondue (nacho cheese) and showed my kids how to dip the fries in the cheese. Call me nostalgic, but fries and nacho cheese was a staple in middle school. Hubby laughed but agreed it tasted pretty good.Overall our bellies were full and happy and we enjoyed our lunch.

I came on a Saturday lunch.Good Customer service. Most of meats are good quality and some beef is tender. Has really good ventilation for the grill so it wasn't smoky at all.

The food was really good and it had nice customer service.I recommend the Prime menu since it has a really good variety of quality meats.Would definitely come again.
