๐ New Korean BBQ AYCE at Brea Mall! ๐ฐ๐ท
While shopping at Brea Mall, I stumbled upon this newly opened Korean BBQ spot โ 356 Korean BBQ & BAR! Currently in Soft Opening ๐ฅ, special price: $55 per person! Only about a 30-minute drive from Irvine โ super convenient location. Even though it's AYCE, the meat quality rivals Japanese Omakase-level BBQ! Their cuts are freshly sliced to order, with beautiful marbling โ you can really see the freshness in each piece. ๐ฅฉ Must-Try Picks: Their Premium series is limited to one round per table: ๐ฅ Wagyu Short Rib โ fine marbling, rich aroma, melts when grilled to a light char. ๐ฅ Beef Short Rib โ thick and juicy, perfect with a sprinkle of sea salt after grilling. ๐ฅ American Wagyu Cube Short Rib โ incredibly tender, bite-sized satisfaction! These three premium cuts alone are seriously satisfying โ quality truly feels Omakase-level. After that, you can order from their 356 Special series โ highly recommend Bulgogi, Beef Belly, Spicy Rib Finger, and more. Their beef tongue and Wagyu Sushi ๐ฃ (limited to one per person) are also amazing โ perfectly balanced in flavor and texture โค๏ธ ๐ฝ Sides & Ambiance Are a Plus! Besides meat, they have lots of banchan varieties โ kimchi, steamed egg, veggie salad, sweet potato, stone pot rice, Korean fried chicken, kimchi soup, pho noodlesโฆ I wanted to try everything ๐ The interior is modern and sleek โ soft lighting, stylish decor, totally different from typical Korean BBQ spots. At night, they play upbeat music ๐ถ โ great for gatherings, celebrations, or after-work hangs. They even change grill plates based on the meat โ such nice attention to detail! ๐ Tips: Located inside the large Brea Mall plaza, parking is easy. Perfect for a meal + shopping trip (heard Bawang Chaji & HeyTea are opening nearby soon too!). ๐ Address: 2445 E Imperial Hwy H, Brea, CA 92821 โฑ Time limit: 1 hour 45 minutes | AYCE requires at least 2 people ๐ฐ Soft Opening price: $55/person (will be $61 later) #BreaMall #OCfood #LAKBBQ #LAKoreanBBQ #LAexplore #LAOmakase #BreaMallEats #AYCEBBQ
