Beque Bbq Grill

Very mid-low tier kbbq. There are two good things: 1) we didn't have to wait to be seated 2) they have a lot of meat. But... the meat is pretty bad. Their brisket is super dry and chewy (how?), their bulgogi is flavorless. There's no ventilation in here and the service is pretty slow (understaffed). Overall, the meat quality is very poor. The only thing we liked was the soju tower and the house beef belly. Hopefully we don't need to come here again.

We walked in to this place and were greeted by an extremely rude staff member. She asked how old our child was and whether he was going to eat in a cross-examining way. Didn’t let us take a peek at what the customers were eating citing their privacy. Overall very unpleasant experience and we didn’t even sit down.

The meat was quite good and the price was pretty good. I thought it was all well flavored except the pork belly, the lunch menu selection was about half of the dinner menu but we didn't really miss they things that weren't included in the lunch menu. The marinated beef bulgogi was really really good. The service was really good but there was only one server for 11 tables and Korean BBQ needs a ton of service to bring more meat, sides, water, and grills. She should get a raise for doing several people's jobs. We felt bad for her and they really need to get another lunch server.

The place when we asked look so full of dishes at the end when we sat just come out small variety of appetizers... we were 5 persons and just give us 1 small plate of each dishes. After claim they give us one more portions of each one. Some staffs very unfriendly. MOST IMPORTANT BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE FOODS THEY BRING YOU!!! THEY BROUGHT US MOULDY JALAPEÑO, you can see in the pictures. THEY ALSO REFILL THE SAUCE SO YOU DON’T KNOW WHEN IS THE EXPIRE DATE. They have many variety of meats with sauce so when you order ask them small portion because they bring big portions of meat so be carefully because if you wanna try more meat you need finished them firstly otherwise they will charge you $15 coz you can order 4 types of meat each time... this is the first time I visit a Korean Restaurant and was unpleasant.

Priced at $16for lunch time (also on weekends, yes), this is the cheapest AYCE korean bbq ive found so far. The meat is not as good as in Gen or in Thirsty cow (LA) but it is definitely comparable if we factor in the price. TL;DR cheaper than others, huge quantities of meat (do NOT order 4 types in the first round if you are just 2 reular eating people, 2 or 3 should be enough), mediocre banchan, ok service, depending on how busy they are. We arrived quite early, when there were maybe 2 more tables only, but it soon started to fill up and the 2 waitresses became 6 all of a sudden. I think the first 2 were a bit overwhelmed, and altho service was good for us at first and at last, I could feel very ignored in the middle of our meal, when more tables came in and there were only 2-3waitresses. One of the waiters, the young guy, was extremely nice and helpful, maybe he was the freshest one or maybe he just was better at managing the stress and chaos of working in a korean bbq place. One of my "complaints" is that they give you way too much meat. They prompt you to choose up to 4 meats per round (and as many rounds as you want because its AYCE), and i thought they would bring a bit of each... but just the samgyeopsal (pork belly) already consisted on 6 pieces of pork belly! Be bbq chicken was 3 deboned chicken legs, and the bulgogi and marinated pork also came in grand quantities. Seeing that we were 2 people of small/medium size, i feel like the waitress could have warned us of the amount of meats they would give us! Why does it matter? 1) wasting food in general is bad. 2) the restaurant charges you $15 if you overorder and have leftovers. Apparently the huge amount of meat we left (no way to finish it) wasnt considered over ordering at all, but for a good hour we thought it would be considered overordering and that we would be forced to pay more... so we kept eating until we couldnt handle it anymore. Lastly, banchan (side dishes) werent very good.. my husband liked the kimchi but we didnt get any japchae like other commentors, and also missing the raddish sheets. For the boiled eggs it is an extra $5... :( Id like to come back again on a Monday and try orderig a la carte with their special price of $10.95! That should be enough food for me~ we really enjoyed the bulgogi and the marinated pork. Samgyeopsal was mediocre, and harder to get right in the cooking time.

This place is literally the best in the bay area. From the fresh meat to the great employees they have a good selection for meat and sea food and its unlimited all you can meat and lunch also 😋 😀 I don't know why there's not that many reviews on this place but I think we all need to change that I hope they don't shut down because of the new surge on the pandemic I would loose a part of my soul if this place shuts down I appreciate everything this place does.. the best in the bay
