Maroo Korean BBQ & Catering — Restaurant in Tracy

Originally located in the heart of downtown Tracy for a short period of time, relocated to it's current location sometime in February 2018.

The original location was much smaller with parking at a premium.   The new location is larger with ample spaces for parking and in my "opinion", better exposure.

The restaurant is clean and their menu offers a variety of specialty dishes to include pictures of what you will be ordering.

On this visit, we ordered several dishes to include, Spicy Pork bugogi, Chicken bugogi, and a Salmon dish.

All three dishes came sizzling on a hot plate to the table and prepared just right.  Both the chicken and spicy pork dishes came on a bed of chopped onions, which complimented the overall flavor of each dish.

All the main dishes included rice and six different picked condiments, which complimented the overall dining experience.

The only downside was in the beverage service.

I asked for hot tea, which was lukewarm at best.  When I asked for a pot of tea they said they didn't have one.  It wasn't until my third cup of tea was it actually hot.  Unfortunately it came at the end of our meal.

I ordered another helping of rice and never received it, which was frustrating. I understood they were busy but it's the little things that count.

With that said, the price of the entire meal was very affordable and a steady stream of customers eager for a table.

Overall this restaurant impressed me in the way in the preparation of authentic...

This was my first time eating at Maroo Korean BBQ, located in Tracy, CA. I ordered the Spicy Pork lunch meal with lemonade.

I was pleasantly surprised when the waitress brought out 6 individual bowls; each came with a different sample proportion size entrées. 1) Kimchi, 2) Pickled Cucumbers, 3) Marinaded Bean Sprouts, 4) Marinaded Potato Chunks, 5) Sliced Fish Cakes, 6) Blanched Broccoli, and a small side of steamed rice.

The rice and bean sprouts paired well with my spicy pork, and the other dishes complimented the main dish as mice appetizers. The lemonade was nice and sweet to round out the meal. The spicy pork was served on a hot plate that sizzled as if it was a plate of fajita meat. The flavor was very tasty to the point that I almost ordered a second one. Overall, the serving size was just enough when eaten with the side dishes.

The atmosphere was nice and quiet, and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. She offered me complimentary refill of any of the side dishes that I wanted along with the refill on lemonade.

I will definitely eat here again, and would recommend for anyone who likes Korean dishes to give...

Three words to describe it: exquisite, homey, and positive vibes.

Food: 4/5 For someone coming from the Bay Area, I was actually quite thrown off by how delicious this place was. We got the seafood pancake, the ramyun with cheese and seafood, along with the assorted vegetables. While the ramen was quite seasoned and stuff, I wished they used mozzarella cheese instead of American cheese to add a little more flavor to it. The assorted dishes were also kinda small in portion, and the kimchi wasn’t really sour — it had a little bit too much gochujang powder residue left in there. Overall good food — just one star off for the blandness.

Service: 5/5 Loved the service — we were served right away and the waiters gave us time and gave really good recommendations :)

Atmosphere: 4/5 I loved how warm it was inside — it was honestly a little tight but I don’t blame them as the mall itself is also quite small too.

Overall, I’d come back...
