Umbo

I'm searching for some restaurants in the area since we're from out of town and stumbled upon OMBU. I called in and asked how long the wait was for two people, and was told it was no wait so we headed over immediately. There are spots in a lot, but none when we arrived so we ended up parking on the street. Upon entering, we were seated right away but noticed that the restaurant was actually quite full. The first round, we are allowed to order six items and subsequent rounds, you are allowed to order four. We started with brisket, jowl, corn cheese, galbi, and tenderloin. In other rounds, we had more brisket, pork belly, kimchi rice, bibimbap, popcorn chicken, and of course more brisket. Truthfully, the marinated meats seemed a little sweet for my taste. I would highly recommend getting the brisket since it cooks the quickest and honestly was the most delicious. We did end up asking for half orders of rice, because they give you so much. Staff is super attentive, but it gets a little chaotic. We weren't too sure who we could order from, but we had servers come up to the table every so often asking if we would like to order more. The price point is great, as I am comparing it to the San Francisco Bay area prices. Definitely worth it if you are craving Korean barbecue.

Was really hungry tonight. Was in the mood for Korean BBQ. This place was great! The food 😋 was really good. Service was so so. Waitress was nice, but I never got a second drink. I fact non of us did and granted they were busy. But that's my only complaint. Other then that like I said the food 🍛 🍽 was really good and fresh. I highly suggest on a less busy 🌙 night.

Had an amazing night today here. There’s a great variety to pick from and everything we tried was really good. But if you’re considering dinning in do keep in mind three things. 1.- This is the most important, if you’re planning on going at night please make reservations, trust me, it’s going to save you a lot of trouble and waiting. 2.- The flavor of the food is good, but if you’re looking for a complete authentic experience, you might me disappointed since the Korean stuff doesn’t really taste like the original food from Korea. I personally do not care about authenticity in this kind of cases so I had a great experience. 3.- This place gets PACKED, like totally full, servers are at full speed rushing everywhere, all the time. I’ve felt bad for them because of how busy it was (even tho it was Thursday, don’t wanna imagine on weekends) and never saw them taking a break on my 2 and half hour visit. So consider that there may be some slow service because of that, they’re going to forget one thing or another, and some food (specially the ones they prepare) could probably take long to get to you, but just let your server know and they’ll check and give a solution right away. Please be mindful and considerate, they’re extremely busy and arguably tired, I’m sure they appreciate some help and a nice tip. Personally, my server was Tina, I heard lots of bad stuff about her on previous reviews but after my visit, I can say that they’re absolutely wrong. She was an amazing and kind server, she was putting lots of work and attention to our table even tho she had like other 20 things to do at the same time. We really appreciated her help. This is a 5 star for me, but to be honest I am biased. But even from a neutral perspective I’d give this place easily a 4/5. Be nice to the servers and they’ll be nice to you, as easy as that!

Great All You Can Eat Option at reasonable prices! 🤤🙌🏽 Everything was delicious and flavored nicely. Great atmosphere to chill with friends. My favs on the the tongue, the galbi, mackerel, and calamari. And I loved the hot rose tea 🌹 There were also cute neon lights on the wall where you could take pics. Excellent customer service! Peter was great. An additional plus for my mamas, they had a changing table for a little ones. We’ll definitely come back to visit. Our whole group enjoyed the experience and food.

This was my first experience at OMBU. I am visiting from out of town and was looking for something to do and was a little hungry. This place seemed to fit the bill. I don't normally care to cook my own food at a restaurant, but as I had nothing else to do, I thought I would try. The meats came out sliced perfectly. I ordered fried dumplings. They were a little smaller than I was used to seeing, but there were plenty, and their flavor more than made up for the size. They were quick to swap out cook tops as needed and often stopped to check if anything else was required. I will make one note. As someone who doesn't care for Kimchi, theirs was delicious. Good enough that I requested the kimchi fried rice. It, too, was amazing. I will most definitely bring coworkers here and family when they visit me out here. All in all I would 100% recommend OMBU Grill.
