Kimchi Korean Bbq - Santa Barbara

My family and I were looking for a quality place to eat Korean BBQ without having to go all the way to LA and we found it! Food is great and service is awesome. The only item we were not a fan was Miso soup, not authentic but everything else was delicious. Definitely going back soon.

Plentiful food. Good service. If you're seeking a great culinary experience, however, look elsewhere. This restaurant is sort of a Korean take on a down-home BBQ, with an all-you-can-eat twist. It's a good deal for the budget conscious, but more of a system than an art.

First and last time going here. As a Korean, I am highly disappointed. The choice of sides was extremely limited and mediocre at best. The kimchi, despite being the restaurant 's namesake, was especially disappointing. The meat itself was fatty, just all right. And the short ribs (galbi), on the B menu, were only one order per person for your whole dining experience, even though it 's all you can eat. Soju was a pricey $14.50 per bottle. The only positive thing was the service, but still I am not coming back. Save yourself the disappointment (and the money) and go somewhere else.

I went there alone for a comfort food to cure my lonely heart on Valentine's Day. However after waiting in the cold wind for 10 min, they told me that they do not accept the party of one on holiday. My loneliness went deeper. Anyway, most food here is good, but some food like beef tongue and chicken are not so good.

You're paying premium at this KBBQ for a basic menu not to mention their workers don't know what's going on. We waited over 20 mins for our meets and asked out waiter who then told us that they were on their way. 15 mins later was ask another waiter and he apologizes saying that their system is down and that they need to get the orders manually. The place didn't have working A/C and it was over 100 today so we hard a terrible experience in their sauna of a restaurant waiting over 35 mins to begin eating. Half way through the meal one of the waiters gets our empty pitch of water and left with it, we assumed to refill it, and never came back with more water. They said their fridge was down so most of their drinks were warm and then my son had a bug crawl on his leg towards the end which was really disgusting to say the least. They didn't care and didn't offer any apologies. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone especially if you're coming with family. They have much to learn about clear consice communication and basic customer service skills.
