Yum yum yum!!! This is my favorite Korean BBQ Spot in the area! Located just past Knotts berry Farm, this AYCE KBBQ joint offers tons of free parking.
There are a number of choices and unlimited traditional sides. The restaurant is typically clean and the quality of the food is great. Each person is expected to pay about $ 20.
Best part is they offer serve yourself ice cream which is also unlimited!
Definitely will be back!

It’s where my love for AYCE KBBQ started! Was here last Friday around 9:30 and was sad to see there was no wait! When I first started going here 4 years ago, Friday nights were a zoo and it was always an hour long wait. They still offer ice cream and my favorite meats are beef tongue and bulgogi here. I use to love their brisket, but after going on a 2 year long AYCE KBBQ tour I’ve acquired a different taste. They still have great service though. Best time to go to any AYCE KBBQ on a Friday night is during lent… that is, if you’re not Catholic.

Came here on Saturday because I was craving kbbq. My mister found this place on Unilocal so we decided to give it a try.
First, service was great. Even when I was asking for a million and one things, our server never once brushed me off and always maintained a level of professionalism (which can be hard when a customer won’t be quiet, but in my defense I was super hungry so thank you very much to my server!)
Meat quality was nothing to write home about nor complain about. My only complaint, if any, would be that I don’t understand restaurants that serve cans of soda instead of having the fountain. Other than that, I’ll be back.

Came here for the first time and don’t know why I haven’t been here sooner. The current price for dinner was $ 18.99 or $ 20.99. I’m not big on AYCE since I never consume my money’s worth. I’ve been going to Gen the past few times and I want to say that the food at Gen has an edge.
CSG wins in all the other categories: less of a wait time, speedy service and the ice cream for the win.
AYCE restaurants are the same, you go in, fill your belly, and hope to slowly walk out with heavy breath… satisfied.

I love that this place opens until 1am! Not only is their food superb (and have the best ice cream) their customer service is on point!
When we first arrive we were quickly greeted and told our wait time to be seated. We ended up getting a table 15 minutes before the estimated time. We were seated and quickly got our drinks. While trying to figure out what was the first 3 seats of meats we wanted to order, the server was very polite and recommending what would be good and what’s best to start off with so you don’t get too full and so you get a chance to taste everything. The best part is this place doesn’t make you feel rushed or stare you down when they feel you should leave. Every time a round of meat was almost done, a server would come and ask what we wanted for our next round and if something was almost done cooking they would cut it up for us and put it on the side for the next round.
My all time favorite is the thin slices brisket! Their seasonal veggies was very good too! (Especially if you dip it into the sauce before cooking) the bulgogi was a bit more on the fatty side than i expected it to be but you really got good flavor out of it. I really loved the bone in beef short rib and the short rib slice. They both had a different marinades that complemented the meat very well. I will definitely be coming back to this place!

Hmm… I don’t know how I feel about this place. For $ 19.95 all you can eat style Korean bbq buffet is a steal considering I am resident of New York City. There is a set menu when it comes to the buffet. They all have there classic Korean bbq dishes. There is more than enough dishes to pick from the menu, so there is variety.
When we first arrived, we waited about 5 minutes for our table. They set up the table, set the sauces, and put the Korean appetizers down first before you arrive to the table. The appetizers are typical Korean appetizers in any Korean restaurant. The one thing I liked about the appetizers is the Jap Chae. Usually in NYC that is a separate order, but here it is unlimited.
To order your bbq dishes, you actually buzz them the wait staff to come to your table. No need to wave your hand at them. You can only order 3 dishes at time, which is okay, but I wanted to fill my entire table with bbq stuff. A lot of the bbq stuff is okay. Some of it needed a lot more marinating, but I do recommend the marinated shrimp and short ribs.
The positive about doing the BBQ is the vents. The vents above the bbq grill sucks all the smoke out, so you don’t smell like bbq.
At the end, do grab some unlimited ice cream.
Overall it is a steal to have Korean BBQ for this cheap. Food was alright. I wouldn’t rave about it. I definitely have had better in NYC Metro area.

Great experience. We enjoyed the AYCE option and had our fill.
Brisket– delicious. Especially with their brisket sauce.
The spicy pork also a favorite.
The main event for us was serving upon serving of the bone in beef short ribs!!!
Wasn’t amazed with the garlic pork belly as I had hoped to be. It lacks an amazing garlic flavor and caused for a grill replacement.
Like the ice cream option… though a poor quality of ice cream.
Service was outstanding and dining room clean and comfortable.

This place was interesting. Upon arriving, they had ample parking, and we walked in and put our name down. The wait was quite long and there was not much space inside to wait. The place looked a little worn down as well with several water spots on the ceiling and peeling walls.
We were eventually seated and chose the cheaper of the all you can eat plans, which was decently priced when compared to other Korean BBQ places. They had a good selection of meat ranging from short ribs, brisket, bulgogi, pork belly and more. They also had a good selection of hot soups to get as well. Service was a little spotty as there were times when our waiters would not even show up when hitting the service button, requiring us to manually flag them down. They even messed up parts of our order bringing up only parts of our order.
One plus side is that they have self serve ice cream! like legitimate ice cream of four different varieties! Not the soft serve stuff! Although my girlfriend was sad that they did not have green tea ice cream, as so many other Unilocalers had posted pictures of.
