Best Korean Restaurant Garden Grove Near Me

4worldlovers: (식)Shik (도)Do (락)Rak means epicurism or the cultivation of refined taste.

Since opening its door in 1996, Shik Do Rak has introduced its way of Korean BBQ to its customers. It’s the original house of dduk bo ssam(rice paper wrap) and has been serving its customers quality cuts of fresh meats and authentic Korean cuisines.

The ownership has changed in 2004 and has been under the same management ever since. Our goal is to continually provide our customers with quality food and great customer service.

The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so we arrived prepared to wait for whatever it takes. It appears that the restaurant offers special package deals for 2, 4 or 6 people, a fixed selection of meat (all beef), soups, plus some drinks (about $180 for 6). If you take the special package, you get seated right away (or get priority). There were 6 of us, everybody like beef, so this was rather a simple decision.

Everything which was served was delicious. Excellent condiments, real, tasty kimchi (unlike the stuff you buy in the can), delicious spicy soup and excellent quality meat with tasty sauces – sirloin, ribeye, short ribs and more.

Super-enjoyable process of making your food, eating and having a slow conversation – this is what I really like about Korean barbecue, more a lifestyle fixture than anything else. We also had Asahi beer which was perfectly refreshing with the meal.

Hands down!!!! There has been a lot of improvement at this location. The meat was fresh and the service was great! I was very pleased my dinner! Unfortunately they no longer serve frozen yogurt:( i totally understand though. People were littering and loitering in front of the restaurant so local businesses weren’t happy. Tip…ypu can save a few bucks if you pay with cash

This is one of the better KBBQ spots near me and the service was pretty good. The meat is tasty and they were attentive when we run out of vegetables which we like to mix with the meat for added flavors. I believe our server’s name is David (or Daniel). They also give you the option to have some steamed eggs; the pork is probably their best meat here as the beef is so-so at least from my experience. However, given the service and an overall delicious KBBQ run with a friend, we decided to make this our go-to spot whenever we crave Korean BBQ.

Last min decision to come here with some friends and we dont regret it!

Since there is quite a few popular places in this plaza, parking can be hard to find, especially with the 7 leaves right across from it. Although it is a big lot, so its not that hard to find spaces.

The wait was about 45 min but was expected. I noticed some people were able to call in cause they had a white board with peoples names and party size written with a time stamp also.

Once we got seated, there was a menu given to us and there was three different price points from which you can pick from. We chose the 20.99 version as it seemed like it had mostly everything we usually order anyways.

The service was pretty good for being how busy it was. The meat quality wasn’t bad either. Thats what I was going to be worried about. Although their marinated short rib is amazing, def order it!

Overall I was very satisfied with the service, food, and quality. Ill be back soon, and hopefully I can call in to avoid waiting for awhile.

I was on a late night trip back to LA with only a piece of beef jerky as sustenance for the whole day. Luckily I came across Shik Do Rak. We immediately chose the top AYCE option with 30 items for $28.99; it’s called the 3-1. We could have easily chosen the 25 items for $20.99 but we didn’t want to waste time reading the menu. We sat down in our emaciated state and weakly pointed to the top choice and within seconds banchan (the sides) were at the table, and only minutes later a meat platter was already on the grill.

We specialize in traditional Korean dishes that will give your family a taste of Asia in a comfortable and calm atmosphere.

Our two most popular dishes are the shul-lung-tang, which is a beef broth soup with meat and noodles and the gam-ja-tang, which is a spicy stew with meat, potatoes, and vegetables.

Our food is prepared with the freshest ingredients with authenticity in mind. Our aim is to bring you the foods we enjoy in our own household

A great place for anyone searching for authentic Korean beef or pork soups. While some dishes lack the salty favoring of other places, the soups are all slow cooked and contain very strong meaty flavors and smells. Definitely recommend it to people looking for some comfort food or those looking to try something new.

1 of the best Korean places - I love their gamja tang and mandu jeopsi as well as sulungtang.

4worldlovers: Eatery serving traditional Korean barbecue offers all-you-can-eat buffet plus table-side grilling.

Yum! We went to Disneyland and wanted some Korean BBQ after. This place is amazing! The portions of the meat are very generous. The marinade is tasty. They have things that other BBQ places don’t offer like porridge, cheesy corn, and Kim Chi fried rice. The smell from the outside before you get in is amazing. After the meal you get caramel or java chip ice cream. This is a really good all you can eat. The meat quality is really good for an ayce. Lots of parking and the restaurant is pretty big. The waitress was really nice and attentive. We will definitely be back.

This place provides you with a great waiting room area with a bar, which is located on the second floor. Very fast service with extremely helpful and happy people! Our waitress made sure we had everything we needed and wanted, she went above and beyond and I have to thank her for making our visit more enjoyable! Also, they fry the kimchi fried rice in front of you! I thought that was really cool, kind of makes you feel like you’re at Benihanas.

This was my first visit to Star BBQ and I enjoyed it. The service was great and the meat was pretty good. We went with Menu A option ($22.99 per person). We got rounds of kalbi, marinated boneless short ribs, thinly sliced pork belly, miso pork belly, brisket, beef belly, cajun shrimp, intestines, and pork jowl. The banchans were not plentiful as at other places but I only really eat the pickled cucumber, kimchi and salad anyway. Don’t forget to ask for pickled radish and extra rice paper!

Instead of changing the griddle, the servers would come by, spray water and scrape off the build up! Genius! No need to wait for a new grill to take the time to heat up!

Love the self-serve ice cream machine. I got the java chip while others in my party got caramel or a swirl of the two flavors. It was actually on the creamy side and not icy. Too many AYCE places ice creams tend to be icy and not very edible.

Overall, Star BBQ is a pretty good value and I would definitely come back!

Located off Garden Grove Bl in Garden Grove cane here with my buddy and his friends this place fills up pretty quick even during the weekday. There is pretty good amount of parking in this lot it is shared with other businesses. Service was pretty good here too. The menu you have two options to choose from price varying about 4 bucks. Food comes quick. Overall a good place for AYCE Korean BBQ. I’d go back again.

I love going here with my friends and family for special event. Of course theres billions of Kbbq around town, BUT I come here for a great party.

For birthdays, I love when they put the music on! It makes the birthday person super embarrassed! One of my pure joys in life is to embarrass the homies. Sadly, the deleted the birthday song and replaced it by giving out b-day gifts. My dog got a free thermal and the trendy back of phone clip.

YAY-ing on parking, customer service, and how quickly they clean the griller! LOVE IT HERE (:

With so many options for Korean BBQ along Garden Grove Boulevard, Star BBQ has managed to elevate itself into the upper echelon and is one of my preferred places to satiate my meat cravings.

For all you can eat (AYCE), there are 2 menu options, A and B. Menu A is $21.99 and menu B is $17.99. Menu A has more premium beef selections like tongue, sirloin, and short rib. You also get cajun shrimp as an extra seafood option. For most people, menu B will suffice as it has all the classics.

The foundation of any AYCE BBQ place is the beef brisket. This cut comprises about 90% of all orders, so it has to be good. The brisket here doesn’t disappoint. The meat is frehs, thinly sliced with copious amounts of marbling, which translates to flavor. Although the meat is previously frozen, the heat from the grill quickly cooks it. It’s tender, juicy and has good beef flavor. If you let it cook thoroughly, it’ll develop a crispy texture and a nice char.
