Best Barbecue Area Irvine Near Me

4worldlovers: I love this place! I truly was blown away about how yummy this place was and how much I could put away in 1 sitting BECAUSE of how yummy this place was.

Dinner was about 25$ a person not including the drinks we got. Kind of steep compared to other places that are usually 19-22$ but you really do get all kinds of selections. There’s filet mignon, all kinds of seafood (shrimp, octopus), and also the great classics- but marinated as well. I would take a bullet for the pork belly marinated in spicy sauce. It really was great.

Love how this place also includes rice paper, because it isn’t as heavy as actual rice. Service is super fast paced, and everyone is so attentive at taking empty plates, asking if we needed any more meat, and constantly refilling drinks.

The space is pretty big, and I like the setup of the grills and tables. Everything looks very clean and modern, and the fact that everyone isn’t all crammed together is really nice.

Solid good AYCE KBBQ, good meats and good service. for $28ish per person, it’s kinda high (for me, it may be decent for others) but the meat selection was awesome.

Aside from all the fun clever names, the staff actually don’t pay all that attention to that, it’s more fun to read than it is to say when ordering more rounds of meat. It’s easier to just say the numbers TBH. “#8, 10, and 14, thanks”

We had a great time, and we had a large table too, wait was almost nil, especially for 6:30pm on a wednesday (when we left though, there was a long wait). Speaking of wait, it’s a 2 hour dining limit, and they’ll remind you we’re near our time limit with a “last call”, so that’s helpful. 2 hours of AYCE KBBQ is plenty of time to overeat and need to be rolled out on a wheelchair LOL.

PS: we’re big fans of the #8, Don’t Rib Me Off; #4, Hot Cow-Ture; and #17, Not Your BAEsic Pork Belly. Runner ups: #10 Speak Your Beefy Mind and #7, Yo Soy Cow (this doesn’t mean it’s Soy!)

This is my favorite AYCE Korean BBQ in Orange County! I have been coming here since 2015 and their protein quality and service has gotten a lot better. The grills are also better and they’re very generous with their portions. My personal favorites–Beef Belly, Filet, Brisket, Pork Belly marinated in Soy Sauce, Steamed Egg, and Tofu Soup. They have the best Steamed Egg and Tofu Soup! The Steamed Egg is moist and silky, and the Soup is not too salty and has the right amount of spice level. I love wrapping my meat in radish. It really brings out the flavors and they complement each other. The servers are super friendly and consistently change our grill. I’m always craving this place and have even eaten here two days in a row!

All That Barbecue is still one of my favorite KBBQ spots in the area. What’s not to like?!

Wait – This place gets really busy, especially on the weekends. Usually the wait is 30 minutes or more BUT now they have an online check-in system! You can just put your name on the waitlist while driving over to avoid the long wait.

Food – The meat here is always soooo good! They’ve actually added a couple new items to their menu, like the filet mignon and have good side dishes.

Service – It tends to get pretty packed, especially for dinner, but even with that, service is always really quick! They bring out meat really quickly and are always happy to refill salads, side dishes, and change the grill.

Enjoyed our first time at All That BBQ. We went for lunch and got sat right away. Our waiter Thomas gave great recommendations and was such a cutie too. The food came out quick and refills for sides and meat was on point. The staff is very attentive. Multiple people came to take plates away, provide refills, adjust the heat on our grill, and check up on us. Food was delicious and my kids enjoyed it which is a win when you have picky eaters.

This was my first time ever trying Korean BBQ and All That Barbecue did not disappoint! The staff was very attentive and helped us throughout the meal with our food. Not only that but the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! I highly recommend the bulgogi and the brisket.

I’d also like to give a shoutout to Katie! She answered all of my annoying questions and exceeded my expectations!

4worldlovers:
We stumbled on to Honey Pig BBQ while looking for a place to eat after a baseball tournament in Irvine. This was a fun, different experience. The servers were great, answering all our questions, since this was a first for all of us. The servers did all the cooking and were very attentive. We had shrimp, wagu beef, and duck. The meal starts off with the servers bringing out the meal prep, which consists of kimchi and several other items served with whatever meat you choose. The servers cook all the food and tell you when it's ready. There are dipping sauces, which were very good and rice paper for wrapping the food. There were no complaints about the meat we chose. Everyone loved the choices. The kimchi can be a little much if you haven't had it before, It is an acquired taste type of food. At the end of dinner, the food leftover is combined with rice to make a fried rice meal. It was delicious. It would be tough to suggest what to get. I recommend asking questions and taking a chanc...
