Menlo BBQ

Hole in the wall with great made-to-order Korean Barbecue. Will be back in the future.

This is a charming little spot tucked away in a residential area. It doesn't have a lot of room inside, but there's a few tables and there is outdoor seating. But you're not coming here for that. The sign outside said BBQ and that got my attention. There's only a few BBQ items, but that's ok. I got the #2 Korean BBQ beef sandwich. It's $18 before I added fries, normally comes with a salad. While it was tasty, I found the amount of meat to be a bit small for what I paid. For that price you can get a lot mor at other places. The fries looked homemade and were the star of the meal. I'd probably give this place another try, but the prices do make we wary of the value. I get that times are tough, especially for a small family run place, but with that kind of price and not even including a drink seems kinda crazy.

Last time I was here was years ago. They changed ownership earlier this year.It's a very casual bbq place with some tables and benches. It's all ordered at the counter. I tried the bbq plate with hot links and pulled pork with a salad and garlic bread. You can get combo plates with different sides. They also have a lot of Korean bbq options from the original owners who were Korean.Overall a simple place with good bbq. I like their sauce which is sweet and a little tangy. Salad was fresh ingredients good. It's not necessarily a good place for a quick meal because it can take some time for your order and they get busy at lunchtime. I saw a lot of takeout orders.

I really enjoyed this place over the years all though I missed the old owners the place has not seen much change in taste only thing that taste a lil different is there signature hot sauce it not bad it's really good but missing a lil something to make it taste like it used to!New owners are a lot nicer just to add

I'm new to Menlo Park and thought I'd stop by and try their Korean barbecue and I'm glad I did! The chicken teriyaki and beef bulgogi was tender and tasty! I also enjoy how fresh the greens were and how lightly they tossed the dressing on salads and rice was made to perfection! There was a young man there that gave me a complementary kimchi - I did appreciate that ! I finished the entire entree and will for sure be back ! Thank you!

Super cute, hole-in-the-wall spot with tons of regulars which is usually a great sign. The staff knew people by name and it had such a nice warm/family feel. The prices are a bit high, but the food was really great so if you're in the mood to "treat yo self" with some BBQ, this is the spot.

Fantastic. I head here about once per week and it is wonderful. I believe they recently switched ownership, and I haven't seen them miss a beat.Bravo!!!

Came here at 12:30PM. Parking is tight at that time. Seats were only few. All are outdoor and that time it was pretty hot. We managed to get a spot with a shade. Ordered bibimbap with beef(was not able to take a photo i was gery hungry lol) I must say their bibimbap is very tasty. Very good! Even the meat. Veggies are seasoned nicely. Meat is very tasty! I decided to take home short ribs. Its a little pricey. But I must say worth it. I only saw two people operating. They're friendly. Self service when done juat put in the bin where they collect dirty dishes.

I decided to eat at Menlo bbq. No, it's not exactly easy to know why this place is so good. I had the bulgogi, purple rice and some fries. Around 18 bucks. Quite a few customers on a cold gloomy day. Well, cool for California. I talked to the staff, very friendly. I told the chef that I hadn't been there since I first got to Palo Alto 30 years ago. Well +- years, wouldn't want to make a mistake. The cook definitely found it humorous. Back to the Bulgogi. Nicely seasoned; nice charred flavor; great fries. 18 bucks, high but these are inflationary times. I loved the ambience; will cut the years for the next time by at least 50 percent . I left happy and with the memory of great marinated beef.

Really good Korean bbq sandwiches. Plus I also ordered the beef bulgogi and it was amazing. The Kim chi was amazing too, however after the first couple bites realized it was way too salty. But I guess that's why I loved the first few bites hehe. It's kind of a hole in the wall but I will definitely come back again.
