So much better than Gen (over in Corona) on everything except "looks." The food is more delicious here and the staff is way friendlier. Gen is all about the fancy appearance (and "the experience" I guess?) so they get really busy and the staff are overworked. They have a more "diverse" and "interesting" menu selection, but they are not good enough to justify the bland meats (like galbi and bulgogi). It is a much more relaxed vibe here, you dont feel like a nuisance having to order over and over (EVERYTHING is self-serve at Koreana! Except drinks.) I love that I dont have to bother the waiter to order, or ask for more salad or rice paper. They have rice paper near the back of the restaurant, radish next to the salads (I think), and to make that Korean salad, just take some green onions and mix it with lettuce and add that sweet soy sauce, tiny bit of vinegar, and some red pepper flakes. Koreana also has some Chinese offerings, traditional Korean offerings, and sushi. But I tend to focus on the OG KBBQ stuff.

I dont live out in riverside any more (which is good or Id be broke and fat from being here so much) but Im down In town every weekend and id say I visit this place at least once a month. Im actually gonna be here for my birthday with about 20+ friends and none had complaints once they knew I wanted to have dinner here. The food is great, and pretty fresh. It is a buffet so not much customer service is needed aside from checking up on your drinks and what not. But when it comes to customer service I personally think its great. They are very in top of changing out your grill if needed and maintaining your heat level or even going as far as cutting and/or cooking.your food.for you if they see you may be burning it or could use a little help. The owner is awesome, it seems like every time Im there he remembers me and he tries to show ne some new or traditional way to eat or flavor my meal. I appreciate the attention and him.going the extra mile for any of my needs when Im there.

AYCE KBBQ. The beauty of this place is that you dont have to rely on slow service in order to get your food, you get it yourself. All the food is laid out, buffet style. They have a great selection of meats and they also have a salad bar, rolls, and tempura. All for a $17.99 price tag. They also have a small vent on the grill to suck all that smoke and bbq smell before it gets all over you. The grill was small and the slots were big enough so that some of the smaller bits of food would fall through. One of the few places that was open on Christmas day. Good food, selection and price. You dont have to worry about people flipping you food, turning up/down your burner, or slacking on bringing out the food.

This place is awesome. I found out about it in summer and Ive been coming back quite literally every week. For a college kid, this place by far has the best prices for Korean BBQ, and thats not even considering its all you can eat. Usually KBBQ places will take orders from you but here you can get up and get as much meat as you want (which is exactly what I want because I dont want to tell a waitress how much I eat haha). But anyway, lunch is $13 and dinners $17 (which you do get a little more of a selection than lunch) and the service is awesome. Ive come back so much that these people know me now and they are so nice and friendly. Theyre like my Korean family haha

This Korean BBQ places is fantastic! Instead of telling them what food to bring you, you can choose whatever food you want from the food bar. Theyre all the popular Korean BBQ food choices, vegetables, soups, ice cream, and other dishes... The quality of the food is really good and very tasty. Even a Korean friend of mine was saying that its one of the best KBBQ paves hes ever tried! The place is fairly simple, but it has everything you need to enjoy a delightful Korean BBQ dinner. Dinner price, which includes weekend brunch prices, is only $20 for all you can eat. They have non buffet options too! Ice cream is free!!!

My husband and I are always looking for a good Korean BBQ restaurant. Bonus points if its All You Can Eat! This restaurant is nice because you have to wait for the servers when it comes to getting more food. Its a buffet style, so when you want more, you simply get up and get more. To me, thats the most appealing aspect of dining here. The food is wonderful and flavorful! The staff is nice, just busy so service isnt always great. The decor isnt too great, but there are always improvements every time we dine in. Overall a nice place to eat. Our go to KBBQ when were in the area!

Make the effort to find this gem, tucked away behind the KFC! A great selection of all-you-can-eat meats and seafood to gather from the bar and cook on a gas grill at your table. Plenty of veggies, seaweed, sauces, and kimchee (not too spicy). Everything is tasty and tender, and you have a choice of a variety of marinated or plain items. Its also fun to grill your own food to your own specifications. Ive eaten all over the world and I can vouch for the authenticity and quality of the fare. Clean, reasonably priced, and with extra-nice service.

it was different. I expected a regular buffet where you just serve your self. Over all the food was great and fresh. They carry sea food, chicken, pork and beef. The problem was that i did not know what the heck I was eating or how to mix it. A lot of veggies I never seen and raw-prepared food that have no idea how to cooked them. If you are familiar with different types of veggies and meat than this is your place. Great place and environment but not for me. If I pay for food I want them to cook it for me and served me :)

My kids and I have been coming here for the past few years. We moved to Fontana a year ago and still go at least once a month if not more often. James is great, they always remember us and the food and price is exceptional. My son is beyond picky with his food but wrap the huge variety of meat they have in some rice paper and he cant get enough. They even sell the meat (uncooked) by the pound so I get some and freeze it then pull it out and have our own bbq at home, so much fun!

There are only a few AYCE Korean BBQ places in the Riverside area and it seems most people come here, so it can get crowded. This place has the “classic” style of buffet where all the meats and items are open to grab by the customer. The selection is decent, there are a handful of different meats (from beef to pork to chicken to seafood). The prepared items and side dishes were decent as well. Of course there are better BBQ places, but this is THE kbbq spot in the Inland Empire.
