Hwang So Go Jip

$ 10 AYCE BBQ?! What a deal. They have a really good selection of meats for what you pay. When I think of $ 10… I think of Ma Dang Sae and I’ve had a lot of good memories there… This place is MUCH better than Ma Dang Sae though… which closed down.
You can CALL IN to get your name on the WAITLIST. I didn’t know this but after we arrived I saw a few names on the list with «(phone)» next to it.
The place was SO CROWDED on a Friday night… but there was also a party of 20 – 30 waiting to be seated. They were seated in the back room. We didn’t wait too long after them before we were seated.
Out of the meats I really liked the brisket, wine pork belly, and special squid. We tried the tripe, but I would not recommend it. It wasn’t what I expected. It’s a huge slab of tripe… we cooked it for a long time and cut it up, but it was really squishy.
The service was alright, the workers are working really hard. For $ 10 I don’t really expect anything spectacular. My boyfriend and I felt a little guilty because we felt like it was such a great deal.
They have a STAMP CARD. Come ten times and eat ayce bbq FREE. I was so amazed at that. Each individual gets a separate stamp card.
No icecream at the end… just so you know.
I will definitely be back in the future if I want kbbq and don’t wanna pay $ 20+.

Come and enjoy!!!
Cheap but great value!!!
I came here since I was a pregnant!
I and my husband realy love this place!
The price still 9.99 dollars!!!

I had to write a fake review so I can get a free soda for my little brother. To be honest, this place is not that great. My gf and my brothers only came to this place because Red Palace was always packed haha. This is my first time here and was very disappointed. Place was kinda dirty, you had to pay extra of a dollar for rice, and the service people faces always look like they telling me to hurry up, eat and get out lol. Overall, I had such a bad first time experience and I will never comeback to this place.

So my previous review for this was 5 stars, but now it 2. Let me tell you why.
First of all, most places have you check in to get a free drink, but here, you have to write a review on Unilocal before you even get to try anything. I think it’s kind of manipulative to have people give you good reviews by bribing them with a free can of soda.
Pros:
1) Cheap price for ayce
2) Taste of meat was good. I recommend the pork neck or wine pork belly.
3) They have a button for you to call them over, much easier to get attention
Cons:
1) Barely any choice for meat
2) Workers don’t seem so friendly and look like you’re bothering them by asking for stuff
3) The place was kind of dirty (check my picture)
4) They charge for a tiny bowl of rice ($ 1)
5) No refills on drinks
I wouldn’t go back here. We only went here because Red Palace was crowded. After experiencing this place, I’d rather wait in line for some other place than go here.

Still great, food is fantastic deal for 10 $. My wife and I keep coming back with family.
Would highly recommend to anyone who is a kbbq lover.

Can you do zero stars? They took 30 minutes to bring out food every time and kicked us out after 2 hours. Never should you leave an «all you can eat» kbbq spot hungry. Terrible service, everyone was rude, water was murky, sides sucked. Everything about this place was horrible.
Go to ANY other kbbq in the area.

Gogi time! This is my #1 kbbq place to come. Very good deal. 9.99 for a person.
Service is super fast.

Ditch Knotts very fun Farm (get it?) to get Korean BBQ instead.
After looking around Unilocal for a $ 10 AYCE place, we decided to come here.
There was a wait when we came here but we put our name down and went to explore the Korean Market next door, came back after 30 mins and was seated after another 10 minutes of waiting.
We ordered the bulgogi, brisket, marinated brisket and pork belly. I loved the fact that they have sauce at the table because in the Bay Area, I would always have to ask for vinegar and soy sauce because I like to make my own ghetto ponzu sauce to dip my brisket in. I usually like bulgogi more than brisket but I must say I really liked their marinated brisket a lot!
Only reason why this place doesn’t get 5 stars in my book is because the servers here are really overwhelmed and they really show their frustration to their customers. I understand that it’s really stressful having to attend all the tables esp when so many buzzers are going off but it really makes a difference if the servers can just be a little nicer and not rush everyone and run off before you can finish telling them what you want.

The meat was very fresh and juicy
Great place for lunch. And affordable
I came today with my gf and we were looking for kbbq in the area there are a lot of tofu houses but the nearest kbbq was this one

This place is great for all you can eat 9.99
Try the bulgogi it’s the best on the menu.
This place is definitely bang for your buck.
Grand slam for an AYCE KBBQ. Tasty food, budget priced, responsive service. The bride and I have found our new HITW to satisfy our meatatarian tendencies. Keep in mind the food is AYCE. The «You Get What You Pay For» rule applies. They have only 5 meats to choose from, but we found them to be very tasty and fresh. They also have other options besides the AYCE.

The only reason why this place has such high reviews is because they give you a free soda whenever you give them a review and show it to them. Seriously, 5 stars and then you get a free soda?
Anyway I arrived on New Years at 530p. There was a wait for a party of two. They seated us in the back. Way way way in the back near the bathroom. We were secluded from everyone else and service was nonexistent. Additionally, we were sharing a table with other people. Really sucked.
As for the meat, nah. Wasn’t good at all. Their best meat was the bulgogi. Marinated brisket wasn’t that good. Their reg brisket wasn’t good either. Pork belly was average. They hardly had an sides. Potato, salad, Kim chi, and bean sprouts. That’s it. Hardly anything. Oh also rice paper and the radish wrap. That’s it.
I’m giving this place two stars just because of the price. You’re better off going to red palace which isn’t too far away from here. Or another $ 9.99 place.

For a $ 9.99 AYCE KBBQ restaurant, this place is definitely bang for your buck with decent, although limited, selection of meats. It’s your typical, run-​of-​the-​mill kbbq joint where you know the moment you step in, that kbbq smell will stick to your clothes and hair for more than a week.
For $ 9.99, they had regular and marinated brisket, regular and wine marinated pork belly, bulgogi, tripe, marinated chicken, pork, pork neck, and spicy and marinated octopus. Definitely recommend the regular brisket and wine marinated pork belly. The brisket was decent for what you pay for and they provide you with the sauces right at the table. albeit the bottles are kind of oily and grimey from the oil splatters when you’re cooking at the table. Must try it with their brisket sauce. The wine marinated pork belly was really delicious, thick slab of pork belly that was that crispy and salty with a slight sweetness from the marinade.
The only setback for us was that for a group of 7 hungry people, we only had a small grill right in the middle to feed us. Wish they provided another portable grill or something for us to cook a bit faster. Besides that, their service was decent, especially for a busy night like that. Definitely recommend for a cheap kbbq fix with the typical but quintessential meat selection.

Ok, you can’t get a better deal for AYCE KBBQ than for $ 9.99… They have a decent amount of meat options too ranging from marinated pork belly to squid to bulgogi. The brisket is really good! I don’t think the quality of meat is as bad as a lot of other reviews are saying, but maybe thats just me being really enthused about $ 9.99.
The service was fine, however they didnt change the grill for us like other places usually automatically do. However, we didn’t ask them to, so Im not sure whether they would or not if we had asked.

For 9.99 AYCE kbbq joint it was better than expected. I was thinking more along the lines of a flowerpig but this place was actually pretty good. Well… their brisket is pretty good. That’s about it. If all you eat is brisket and maybe rice then this is the place for you.
I came through around 8ish with some friends and we waited a good minute but eventually got seated after most of the people on the wait list just left. First off service sucks here. Workers cussing left and right seeming supet unprofessional but it did made me laugh when the dude was cussing after all the waitlisted people left besides us lol.
Brisket is decently nice here and the brisket sauce us legit. For 9.99 this place gives you your moneys worth and a lot more after. They did gey rid of their ice cream which sucks and you gotta order soup extra plus their side dishes werent all that great but I like it just fine for the price. Its not top 5 for me but if you’re looking for a quick cheap kbbq dinner… this is probably your best bet.
PS it is super hot in there… the place is not properly ventilated

$ 9.99 AYCE! Good for the price. Brisket and marinated brisket is my fave. Came in about 6 on a Saturday and got seated in about 15minutes so not a bad wait. Service was good. Will come back again.
