M Korean BBQ

I reserved a table for 18 people for a birthday and everyone had a great time! The food was delicious, the servers were attentive, and the interior was spacious and trendy. One particular dish we tried and I never had was the corn cheese pancake and it's made with condensed milk. It's really tasty! I highly recommend trying it with a group.

This place seemed promising based on the reviews, but our experience was admittedly lackluster.We came with our friends and ordered a small beef and small pork combo. I quickly noticed that our server's mediocre attentiveness as our prime brisket was painfully overcooked. The boneless short rib and finger rib were quite good as the fat content saved them from overcooking. Among the pork cuts, they were all overdone and needed accompaniments to make them palatable.Atmosphere was fine, ventilation could've been better. Overall, solid meat quality ruined by poor service. Not worth what we paid.

Food and services are good here .Waiters are very nice and friendly.We made a reservation for 8 ppl and they offered us a room since we have 4 toddlers .it is very thoughtful.Our waiter is Doomo (not sure if I spell right ).He is super nice and he cooks our food very well.We will definitely come back again !!!!Highly recommended for the family and friends who have young kids .

We are so glad that we found this new Korean BBQ place for our family. The food is delicious and the price is very reasonable compared to Baekjeong. We love the fact that they cook it for you and they DO NOT accept tips. Service is great and the ventilation is good. You don't come out smelling like BBQ from 3 feet away. We ordered the Beef combo for 3-4 people and it is PLENTY of food. Meat quality is fresh and good. The kimchi is surprisingly delicious and fresh. Their steamed egg is cooked on the side in a bow and served separately. I think that's awesome because steam eggs are hard to eat and can get contaminated if they are from the tray next to the grill. This is our new favorite Korean BBQ place. Definitely will come back again soon.

M Korean Barbecue is located on the 3rd floor at the Source. When my friends and I arrived around 5:30pm on a Monday evening, there wasn't a wait. But by the time we left around 7:15pm it got pretty busy. So they have a no tipping rule here, but they charge a 10% "fee" to cover their operations. Interestinggggg. I actually really liked our waitress Karla who was spectacular the whole night, but we didn't have the option to tip her. The three of us shared a Small Beef Combo ($82), Grilled Beef Tongue ($35), Yogurt Soon Hari ($13), Chamisul Fresh ($13), and a Terra ($8). The Beef Combo includes Thin Sliced Prime Brisket, Prime Beef Boneless Short Rib, Beef Finger Rib and Marinated Beef Oyster Steak. Rice paper and radish paper were already on the table when we arrived. All of their combos include pine mushroom, soybean paste soup with beef brisket, old fashioned green onion salad, romaine salad and steamed egg. The cooking pace was a smidge fast since we came in when they weren't busy yet. Very attentive and on top of things. The food was pretty good. I prefer Baekjong for a similar experience, but not bad. We all enjoyed the prime beef boneless short ribs the most with its' marbling cut. We said if we came back we would probably just stick with that cut. It was about $60/person after we split the bill. A bit pricey considering we weren't all full or anything. We didn't want to order anything else here, but we went for snackies elsewhere afterwards.

This place is probably one of my favorite BBQ places now to go during special occasions. Though, the price is a bit high, it totally worth it. The wait might be a bit long too but I think it's standard for any good restaurant in OC nowadays. We ordered a combo and an extra portion of beef tongue and it costs ~$50/person for a party of 4. The staff will cook for you so that's a pros but also cons. The pro is you don't have to do anything and just be there to eat. The con is sometimes they are busy with other tables and might not be fully serving you. The side dishes here are sooo delicious, took a bit long to refill but you can just mass order them because the portion is fixed and premade so they only come out as a tiny portion. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would definitely return here when the time comes.

This is a meat place. Grill at the table. Lots of great options. Food was great. Service was excellent with the staff grilling to keep meat from becoming overcooked. Nice spacious table. Comfortable booth. Overhead fan to suck up the smoke. Naengmyun was a little different. Had kimchi in it.

We regularly order the beef combo and one pork option, either belly (samgyupsal) or jowl (hangjeong). The beef combo comes with a little bit of each cut (brisket, short rib, rib eye, finger rib, and marinated oyster steak).A couple of things come as "service", or free additions with the combo--egg soufflé (gyeran jim) and fermented soy bean stew (doenjang jiggae). Beef quality is better than most places in socal, and that's saying a lot given that it's is in OC, where kbbq is a dime a dozen. That said, it's not cheap, and they've started getting a bit stingy on refills of banchan (had to pay extra for pickled radishes). All in all though, the staff is nice and tip is built in (with a standard service charge), so there's no need to gauge how to tip based on experience, especially some of the exorbitant amounts listed on some bills these days.

Went with a big group of friends and everyone loved this place. The combos they offer are huge and the service is always great! Quality of food is great with very good price.

Ok just a friendly reminder this place is not AYCE. Back to the review.....this place is really good! I love the set menu options and it's nice not having to cook sometimes lol the server was really friendly and I just liked the overall atmosphere! Overall, I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!
