Los Angeles | Irvine's Top Korean BBQ + Raw Marinated Crab & Shrimp đŠ
When friends from across the US gather in LA for the holidays, we donât just hunt for Chinese foodâthe Korean cuisine here is absolutely impressive too! This might just be Irvineâs highest-rated Korean BBQ spot đ„. The quality speaks for itself, and beyond BBQ, they also serve spicy raw crab and other Korean classics. The side dishes are incredibly generous, with constant refills and variety. It was my first time seeing raw marinated shrimp in the free side dishes! đ± ăBeef Combo for 3â4 Peopleă We ordered a combo for our group (you can also order Ă la carteâthey even have A5 Wagyu! đ). The set includes soybean paste soup and steamed egg, along with three meats: thinly sliced brisket, marinated boneless short rib, and boneless short rib. The staff grills for youâprobably because the meat is too premium to trust to amateurs like us! đ They even ask about your preferred doneness before grilling. At first, I was worried the boneless short rib might be tough, but once cut open, the color was stunning, and the juiciness was undeniable. One bite tells you itâs worth every penny! đŻ The marinated boneless short rib was especially interestingâitâs pre-grilled, re-marinated in sauce, then grilled again. This lets the flavors soak deep into the meat, not just sit on the surface. So addictive! đ€€ I told the grilling server while filming: âYou grill with the same vibe as Salt Bae sprinkling saltâso much ceremony! Iâm gonna show everyone!â Oops⊠I was too busy staring at the meat and forgot to film his face đ. ăSpicy Raw Crabă This deserves its own spotlight! At $34, itâs packed with real, plump crab meat you can squeeze out piece by pieceâcheck the GIF for how full it is! đŠ The spice is noticeable but doesnât overpower the crabâs natural sweetness. ăSpicy Cold Noodlesă A $13 lunch special with huge portions! The icy broth is the perfect palate cleanser. đâïž Overall, the meat is exceptional, service is smooth, and the vibe is top-tier! They even asked if we wanted to pack the leftover side dishesâhow thoughtful! đ Throughout the meal, they kept wiping the plate clean, maintaining that elegant touch. đ Marble Steakhouse & Grille 6436 Irvine Blvd, Irvine, CA 92620 #100ChallengesEatery #LosAngeles #LAEats #LALife #Irvine #IrvineLife #KoreanBBQ #KBBQ
