BBQ Chung Dam

What I Ordered: Diamond Tier AYCE ($58.99)Food: I got to try the Diamond Tier AYCE menu, which is the highest tier at the restaurant. It comes with KOBE Boneless Beef Short Ribs, Prime Sirloin, and LA Ribs, which are basically the highest cuts of meat you can get at a Korean Barbeque restaurant. All of the meats overall were good quality. I'm pretty sensitive to old meat taste, and I was thankful to find that they didn't have any. The waiter recommended the KOBE Boneless Beef Short Ribs, so we started off with that. It was definitely great quality for an All You Can Eat BBQ spot. I like to eat these cuts of meat with just salt, nothing more and nothing less, and it was delicious. My personal favorite was the Raw LA Ribs and Choice Marinated LA Ribs, which I absolutely loved. The quality of meat they had for these ribs were absolutely incredible, on par with and maybe even better than a la carte KBBQ restaurants. I was surprised at how the Raw LA Ribs melted in my mouth like butter, again especially from an all you can eat spot. With how much I loved the Raw LA Ribs, I had to try the Marinated LA Ribs and they were delicious as well. If I go back, I would personally choose the Gold Tier AYCE for $38.99 for the Raw LA Ribs and Choice Marinated LA Ribs.Service: The servers were attentive and friendly. Many of the meat options are available as a buffet style, so you can grab your own meats. The more premium cuts tend to be kitchen order only, so make sure to order a lot from that part of the menu too!Ambiance: All around woody interior design. I love woody designs as in my opinion it gives off a more premium ambiance and energy. Parking lot is shared with other shops in the plaza, but there are plenty of seats available.

Unassuming great value AYCE Korean BBQ in heart of Garden Grove$28.99 silver includes brisket and bugolgi$42 gold includes short rib with bone and angus$58 platinum includes WayguWe had the gold but could have survived on silver Good food, pre-cooked beef bone meat falls off the bone - very tender and delicious Jap ChaeHighly recommend and friendly staff

This is so far my favorite kbbq spot! What is particularly memorable about this spot is the additional all you can eat items you can get! The silver level is good enough. I think we did diamond both times we've come and we mostly stick to the brisket and the pork belly cuts which can be achieved with the silver level.

The place was very updated I like the decor . The waiters were very nice I like that also . The menu was very simple not too crazy . Wish there was more variety to be honest because for the price we pay . The bar was simple not too crazy either . Again not much variety to choose from wish there was more would I go again no to be honest. My first time here and I saw the reviews so I wanted to give it a try and see how this goes . I give 3 for the customer service they were very helpful.

Special shoutout to Jennifer and Julia for our nights! They were phenomenal the entire night. I came here with my group of coworkers for our holiday dinner. Both of them were very attentive whenever they interacted with us. We rarely had to ask for anything because they would beat us to it. Need a grill change? They got us. Oh did want another bottle of soju? They got too! More water? Already on the table before we realized it needed refilling. They are truly the mvp of the night! As I mention before, this place is buffer style with a variety to choose from. Every time I do come, I notice improvements in the option! For example, they actually make the pork belly thicker (reference to my last review). And now they offer pork jowls and pig skin too! I don't know many places that offer that WITH the basic menu. Most of the time you have to tier up, but nope not here! While most of the options you can self serve, there are specific cuts and meats you would have to order from the kitchen. We felt like the basic menu was more than enough do to all that was offered for the buffet but definitely take a gander at what the other menu tiers offer! I can't wait to be back. See you soon Jennifer and Julia (and the BBQ Chung Dam team).

Food was actually very good! I was surprised for how much you get even at the Silver Tier - great flavor of sauces and wide range of food to get from! Service was great and the lady was very sweet to give us extra ice cream! Decorations were pretty basic and nothing crazy - but who focuses on the place than the food? Definitely recommend and again best bang for your buck!

1. I like how you can order the good meats from the server, and then you can check out the buffet area for basic meats and sides!2. The spot has fun casual vibes!3. They only have indoor seatings available!4. The servers are amazing and will do a lot of grill changes!5. Parking lot is huge, so it easy to find parking!Note: They give ice cream at the end!Photo: Pork Belly, Brisket, Beef Belly

So yummy! Always looking for good Kbbq and this did not disappoint. Even the most basic tier has a lot of options as you can order from the kitchen or grab meats from the self-serve bar. The extra's were yummy as well, my favorite was the sweet potato tempura. Service was great, and the place itself is clean and cute. Not overpriced. Good quality meats.

This is a great AYCE Korean BBQ with a lot of options for those who looking for a great place in Garden Grove!I tried:1. Prime boneless beef short ribs2. Prime beef brisket3. Prime beef belly4. Marinated LA ribs5. Prime beef tongue6. Steamed eggs7. Bean paste stew8. Calf intestine9. Seasoned octopus10. Pork cheek11. Side dishes: tteokbokki, fried cake12. Vanilla ice cream

BBQ Chungdam offers three different options, starting at just $24.99--such a great deal! Their beef belly and boneless short rib are top tier and absolutely a must-try. They also have a convenient self-serve bar for meats and sides, plus a kitchen menu. Definitely go for the corn cheese to dip your BBQ in--it's a game-changer!
