Brother's BBQ

We're late-night diners and wanted some tofu soup on a weekday evening. It was around 9pm and I saw on Yelp, that Brother's BBQ closed at 10pm. I've passed by this place so many times and never noticed it. It's pretty big inside and they had some TVs playing kdramas. We were the only patrons, which almost made us not wanna go in, but did anyway and were so glad we did. I thought the workers would be annoyed we came in that late, but they were so friendly and attentive and didn't make us feel rushed at all. We ordered:Vegetable Tofu Soup extra spicy (but kinda disappointed since it wasn't spicy at all)Seafood Pancake2 sides of riceEverything satisfied our craving. And no skips in the banchan- They were all good!! (I usually don't like fish cake, but loved theirs). This was the perfect amount of food for our party of two.

Solid KBBQ spot here in San Leandro. In fact, it's where my now-boyfriend and I went for our first date. I've been here with my mom before, and the food was great. When I came here with her, I enjoyed a hot stone bibimbap. So when a match from Coffee Meets Bagel and I were planning a date, and he asked to treat me out to dinner, I sent him options from Yelp, and he chose this one. Driving here is pretty easy despite being right by Bart and the train tracks. There's a fair amount of parking in the back. The restaurant itself is very spacious with plenty of seats. Date went so well, we just dove into conversation once we got seated, and it wasn't until a waitress came to ask us if we were ready to order that we realized we hadn't ordered anything yet. We went for standard KBBQ fare, including bulgogi. Our waitress was amazing with helping us cutting our meat, replacing the grill, and being so attentive. We enjoyed our dinner date so much, we ended up being the last ones in the restaurant, and got kicked out at closing time. That was when we decided to go get dessert...and got kicked out at closing time too, LOL! Thanks Brother's BBQ for being a great first-date dinner spot!

I was hoping this would be one of my go to's, only 5 mins from the house. Came in on a Friday night about 6pm and got a able for 2 right way. The service was good, when we sat down they informed us that the kitchen is a little backed up and may take longer than usually if i didn't order the self cooking meats, which was nice because most place won't tell you until you're already pissed off from waiting. Kimchi Fried Rice was good, not too oily. Vegetable Tofu Soup was good.Beef Bulgogi had good flavor but the quality of the meat is not good very chewy. That's why I only gave them a 3 Stars

Such a great little mom and pop KBBQ spot. We went for lunch and the lunch special can be split by two people. You get one protein (we got spicy pork, delish) and a tofu soup. Both were great and the price point was great. The service was amazing, and you can tell its family run. We will be back!

Great place for Korean BBQ in San Leandro! The portions are huge, the meat is fresh and tasty, and the staff is really friendly. Everything is well-seasoned, and the side dishes are solid. It's a great spot to eat with friends and family. Definitely one of my go-to KBBQ places in the area.

Came here on a Monday during lunch time. My co worker has been hyping this place up for a while and I'm glad I tried it out. My partner and I ordered the lunch combo which comes with vegetable tofu soup, rice, ban chans, and choice of meat. We picked spicy pork as our meat option. All this food for $27 is a great deal. The portion is enough for two people to share. The spicy pork, tofu soup, and all the ban chans were delicious. The japchae ban chan was my favorite. Customer service is also outstanding. The lady kept checking on us for ban chan and water refills. We will definitely come back again to try out their other dishes. I'm glad we live just down the road from this place.

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night and was immediately seated, really fast and friendly service. We ordered a variety of things to share and the standouts were the spicy squid and shrimp stir fry and the short ribs, both were really tasty and flavorful. I didn't like the spicy tofu soup bc it wasn't really hot at medium spice level, it had a lot of zucchini in it, and the broth wasn't as flavorful as I expected. The banchan variety was great though and overall I'd come here again if I was in the area and craving Korean food

Overall, my time at Brother's BBQ was splendid. The employees provided solid service and the food was equally as good. As I wasn't the main person who ordered, I can't elaborate too much on the particular items that we ordered other than it was all good. The atmosphere was energetic. This place is good stop if you want Korean BBQ in a convenient location, the drawback is the parking situation isn't the best. 4/5.

Came craving soondubu (Korean tofu soup) and left a little confused but altogether not unsatisfied.We arrived around 5pm on a weeknight and were quickly seated by our attentive and not unfriendly waitress. The ambiance was a little Korean ish with dramas in the background but not overwhelmingly k-poppy. After perusing the menu, I went for the vegetarian tofu soup with dumplings (+$2 for the meat addition) and my husband had the spicy cold buckwheat noodles. We really enjoyed the selection of 9 banchan presented (with complimentary refill) as we waited a few minutes for our dinner. The bean sprout banchan and broccoli banchan were our favorites! My tofu soup came smelling and tasting like no soondubu I've ever had before - it smelled very meaty and kind of like a meatball, and tasted different too. It wasn't bad tasting but just different, and was loaded with tofu, egg, and zucchini bits and yummy with rice. My husband's cold noodles came in a bowl that looked small but the portion was chewy and filling with a good sauce to noodle ratio. Beware that there is a small fee for takeout containers and prices for dishes aren't cheap (but nor are they expensive for Korean food in the bay? Our dishes were about $20 each). Overall yummy and lots of other menu options too.

Food is amazing & service is impeccable! Always smiling even when they're super busy! We celebrated 2 birthdays here and they've been very accommodating!
