Grams BBQ-Premium AYCE — Restaurant in Garden Grove

Dined there on 9/6/25. Music is loud and the food is okay at best. This is a newer style of Korean BBQ like Gen, but the food isn't as high of quality and it's much more expensive. Their version of marinated short ribs (that are boneless 👎🏻) are not good. There's so much sauce that's all you'll taste and a good 40-45% of it was fat. The kimchi is way too fermented, so much so that's all you taste... fermentation. The kimchi pancakes are extremely tiny and not good.

My mother-in-law (who's Korean) is used to traditional Korean BBQ restaurants, so she speaks Korean (she also speaks English) to the staff and just gets stared at because none of the them bother to say I don't understand or speak Korean. They just stare at her awkwardly in silence for minutes.

Except for the staff constantly asking if there's anything you'd like to order every 5 minutes, overall the service was bad. During one of these occasions my wife asked for more spicy cucumbers (included with every meal). Well this girl (with a black & grey floral tattoo on her forearm) obliges; however, she picks up the old dish and takes it back with her. Here's why this is important; we stacked all the empty/used dishes on top of each other to make space at the small table. So this girl literally picked out the dish that had the cucumbers out of seven used dishes to go fill it with more cucumbers. Did she wash the dish? Who knows. Also she left the other six dishes on our table, rather than taking them all back to be washed.

Later I asked the same girl for soy sauce for my rice. She passed us numerous times and never brought it. I then asked the male server who was there. He also kept doing other things. The girl comes back and asks if we'd like to order something else. I asked again for my soy sauce. She doesn't apologize or anything and the male server brings it to me as she starts to turn around. It took around 15 minutes to get soy sauce. By then my white rice is cold...

Came here on the recommendation of a friend I have been with that said it was good. Got seated rather quick. Got first round of meat decently quick then didn't see our server for 30 minutes. Servers seemed to be intentionally ignoring us. Was considering leaving when another server came up to us and asked if everything was OK. I said no and we haven't been helped for 30 minutes. I am not being hyperbolic I timed it on my watch. He apologized and brought us our second round. We thought maybe with a new server it would turn around. It did not. We wouldn't be helped again for 15 minutes. Manager came up to us and asked if we wanted our last round. Dude dropped check without asking how it was and instantly walked away fast. Bro knew we were pissed off.

We got 4 plates of brisket for 116 dollars Really wanted to like this place but was genuinely the worst dining experience I have ever had. Brisket was OK steamed egg was not great. Service was trash

I wish with every fiber of my being that I had not walked into that building tonight. I wish we...

Saw the pictures at this restaurant and it looked promising, so we went and tried it. No seafood is offered at this place. The meat is supposed to be premium quality for them to charge $38.99 per person. We ordered our normal cuts of meat, beef brisket, short ribs, ribeyes, large intestine and pork jowl, egg pudding along with king oyster mushrooms and yellow onions. The beef brisket is semi good not as tasty compared to other restaurants. Was expecting the hot fluffy steamed eggs and they only have the egg pudding. The side dishes were quite basic and nothing to rant about. They don't even have shredded spring onions. The attention from the servers are excellent even though they kept Turning/lowering our burner. The nice thing at this place you can order half order of everything so you don't waist food. We wanted to try some other cuts but didn't want too much, we asked if they can just give us two slices each and they did it. The places it not too smoky and you don't come out of the restaurant rigged...
