Great music, atmosphere and food. The service is also top notch.
Great food and great Service. They never let me down!
Hippest Korean BBQ loved the food
Good service will be returning �
Great experience with a very friendly staff. Awesome Korean pop music and an all out fun Friday/Saturday evening vibe. Don’t expect a quiet dinly lit dinner - it’s a fun time
Baekjeong is a full service KBBQ restaurant. Your waiter will actually cook the meat you choose for you, I think one time we came they let it get a little overdone but I wouldn’t take a star off for that.
The meat is delicious, and the sides are great too. It is pretty pricey so we only come here as a special treat but it’s actually a nice change of pace to have the meat cooked for you. There are plenty of other places you can go if you’d like to cook your own meat for a bit cheaper.
Overall, great restaurant, make sure to arrive early or plan for a weekday since it gets pretty packed and the wait time can be very long.
My husband and I finally kicked this place off our bucket list. We've been wanting to try this place for quite some time now, but the wait is always insane so we've always ended up going somewhere else. Last night we got there early and we able to get seated in 45 minutes. This was a much different experience than what I'm used to, mostly because the staff cooks for you. I didn't know that and took the plate when it arrived and started to do my thing and a waitress came by and was like, "please let me do it for you." Sure, why not? The steamed egg and cheese corn were incredibly delicious. We got the combo which included thinly sliced beef skirt, beef short rib, pork belly, and marinated pork steaks. The combo also came with a side if either kimchi stew or soybean soup. We got the soybean soup. Everything was amazing. My only complaint is that they left the meat cooking longer than I would have liked (I like my meat on the rarer side) and we thought they could have changed the grill plate out at least once, since the meat towards the end was getting charred bits stuck to it. Other than that, it was a great experience and we are excited to go back (hopefully with friends in tow, because it was a LOT of food and we want to try more things).
I loved eating here! The food was amazing!!! Our waitress helped a lot with cooking our food. Will definitely come again and again. One thing, its not an all you can eat. They have packages or solo dishes and place gets packed! I came on a weekday and a little earlier than 4pm and there was no wait. After 5pm you will definitely wait a long time.
The waiting here is really insane. We waited for almost 2 hours to get seated then waited another 15-30 minutes for them to start bringing out food and serve. They will cook the meat for you. The meat quality is really high and it's kinda melting in your mouth as it's fatty so you won't have to chew much as it's really soft. I would recommend a large combo if you are a group of 4. Even though it does not do much the fatty meat fills your stomach really fast plus the side dishes, corn cheese, and steamed eggs are given with the combo. It was worth the wait as the first few bites were really good as I was starving for waiting too long. I would say it is worth the wait though, definitely recommend to try at least once.
First things first, Baekjeong is not all you can eat, but that aside, the experience is typical of most KBBQ style restaurants.
Once you order, the staff serves and cooks the meat for you, but they do this for other tables too – and they get busy. So if you don't want your meat over cooked, you'll need to keep an eye on it.
The meat was tasty, but didn't stand out from those served at other well established KBBQ restaurants.
The banchan were also good, but some of the more common items, like the salad, were too small and had to be re-ordered a number of times.
I did appreciate the way the ventilation systems could be positioned right over the grill. It kept the smoke level and smell on our clothes to a minimum.
We got there early, but did see a long wait line outside about an hour in. Prices sit on the higher side, especially if ordering a few drinks and sides. The place was clean and the staff were attentive and friendly.
We have try this on Buena Park, just out of curiosity to try this branch.
The restaurant more spacious. The quality of meat was consistent really good.
The service was excellent also.
Lots of Free parking.
The meats and side dishes prepared at our table was absolutely delicious! This restaurant is always super busy with a line coming out the door and you can see why. This was my first time there with family visiting from out of state and everyone was blown away how good it was. This is a great place for a special occasion or for something complex different. We loved it!
Delicious food and excellent service. The food packages are enough to enjoy and share. Definitely will come back.
We love this place - great vibe, excellent food and service! Mitchell is best server we ever had. A must if you visit Irvine California
Overall, for a lunch with 2 others, it was a very tasty but tad on the pricier side of things, meal. Getting things like the wrappers and some of the sides refilled sometimes was unreliable, numerous times during the meal. Meat quality from what I could tell was good, and complemented well with the sides as available. Overall I found it to be very enjoyable.
A cousin fixed up a family dinner here. Close to two hours waiting as they had a no reservation policy! :-) Patrons were seated in a queue all around the side of the restaurant!
Excellent choice of meats and sides and very prompt and efficient service. We had two tables of 4 and two servers on either side doing the prep/barbecue which was interesting as each set tasted a bit different!
Good selection of alcohol at the bar which was closer to the entrance. The restaurant was buzzing and there were folks waiting even after we left post 9pm!
Very nice Korean BBQ place. Great quality meat. Our waiter was not in a Good mood but food and place where really nice.
Had lunch here yesterday for the first time and was pleasantly impressed. We did the small beef combo and bibimbop appetizer. Delicious sides, meats were great (beef brisket was my favorite but we also had both boneless short ribs as well), and the service was above expectations. Definitely worth a visit.
We ordered beef combo. The short rib is fantastic. The rib is like melting on my tongue. We also ordered beef brisket stew. That stew is delicious too. The soup made the lunch everything that is supposed to be. Good experience. Will come back soon.
This place doesn’t ever fail to disappoint. The beef combo is the way to go. I went with my parents and sister and we couldn’t even finish it all! Banchan is great, very fresh. Warm and friendly staff. Music is a touch too loud but I still enjoyed the atmosphere. This is my second time here, I come every time I’m in Irvine!
Great food. First time there and wish the ordering/menu process was a bit easier but overall did not take away from the experience. Highly recommend!!
Discover new formats of world cuisines. Today it's Korean barbecue. I won't hide the fact that I've been here before, but with my family for the first time. I recommend this place to visit, but you have to pay to enjoy it.
My Korean colleague took me here. Pretty good restaurant. No drunk no gain.
