Update: price goes up to $26.99 but it's still the best in the neighborhood. Meat quality is still really good.
My family usually go to Rowland heights for AYCE Korean bbq, so we were excited when we heard about this one in Diamond Bar. We decided to try the $24.99 deal because we mainly eat brisket and bulgogi only. The place is new, nice, clean, very bright and not smoggy. It's roomy inside with lots of tables, good for large parties as well.
The meat quality was really good, and the side dishes were really fresh with many varieties.
Flying tiger beef was something new to us. It's thin sliced beef bellies with a special sauce which had a sweet and sour taste. It tasted more like Thai to me. Beef belly is usually oily, but with this special sauce, this juicy grilled beef belly can increase your appetite.
Kimchi doshirak was also new to try. The waiter had egg, kimchi, rice and some sauce in a metal bento box, and he shook the box to mix the ingredients before serving. It tasted like kimchi stirred rice. Pretty good as a side.
The service was excellent. Our grill plate was changed 4 times without asking.
Overall, we were so happy with the taste and quality for this...
Read moreWow. This place is amazing! I've had a lot of AYCE KBBQ places, from OC to LA. This place is hands down the BEST KBBQ place I've ever tried. My girlfriend also lovess this place and she's pretty picky about KBBQ places.
The owners are currently the servers, and they are SO NICE! It's a husband and wife duo and they are very kind and down to Earth. They just opened up this place recently so come out and support!
Onto the meat quality, it's probably one of the highest quality places I've had. The marbling on the meat is perfect and they are super tender. And the price is insanely cheap right now. The meat is definitely one of a high-end KBBQ place.
Overall I love this place and it's #1 in my list, I know they're going to get much more traction as time goes on. For now, I'll enjoy this place while the prices are low and the lines are short! I know in the near future they're going to be so much more packed....
Read moreShhh…hidden gem! This ayce kbbq restaurant is outstanding! I’ve been to many kbbq places over the years and Seoul BBQ is top notch. Everything came out quickly, including the fried potstickers, water refills, meat refills, and grill changes. It was a laid back atmosphere, not a bunch of announcements or loud music. It had a good vibe for talking and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed several rounds of meats from the A and B menus, multiple grill changes, some peach flavored rice wine, and a fun time with friends and family. The beef bulgogi and beef brisket were excellent; everyone else in the group also enjoyed several other cuts of meat including garlic pork belly, flying tiger beef, short rib, beef belly, and others. The parking lot was a bit rough so beware. Everyone that went into the restaurant seemed well dressed and happy...
