Kimchi Korean Bbq - Santa Barbara

I want to thank kimchi Korean bbq to seeing to my needs. I have had a stroke stroke and epilepsy and they were able to help me out. I want to thank them for meeting all my needs! Amazing service! Thank you a special shout out to Fernando Fermin! you made my meal fabulous!

It's just plain horrible. 3 people came to $165 and we could not eat the food due to improper handling and poor quality. The shrimp was not cleaned. I had to check them and clean them. All were full of poop. Also they tasted of freezer burn. We ordered the spicy shrimp and were given one order of spicy and one order of garlic. She went by so quickly we didn't have a chance to say anything. The woman, who I assume is the manager or owner is clearly annoyed when you ask for more food. Note it's an all you can eat establishment. She also rushes you by putting food on the burner for you. We had a non red meat eater with us and she smeared beef fat all over the grill without asking. So we had to have a grill change several times because she kept trying to hurry us to cook the beef. It was weird and not helpful or enjoyable. Further, they forgot our chicken order and had to be reminded twice. We ordered the kimchi fried rice, which was a sour tasting mush. Inedible. It was one of the worst meals I've ever had. I felt robbed. Never again.

Lady cooked for us. it didn't matter what meat we wanted, how much, and how we wanted it. take away tools and cook and mix our food. let us rest the whole point of kbbq is that we cook what we want. too much of our products cooked at once, so that meat burned and cold would not come back.

I had a rather strange experience at this restaurant. The food was generally good, except for the kimchi fried rice. Upon entering, it felt more like a nightclub with loud music playing, which was quite off-putting. Our server seemed rushed, and there was a push to order more food, which came off as an attempt to charge us for unfinished dishes. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to others.

I've been visiting this restaurant since around 2017, and while I've experienced some fluctuations in quality over the years, they've really been hitting their stride in the past year! The quality of the meat is outstanding, and their side dishes and non-meat options are also delicious. The wagyu beef belly on their premium menu is absolutely amazing. The only downside is that the place is quite small, and there’s almost always a wait, but it's definitely worth it. It's a much better option than driving 40 minutes to Gen, which is rather disappointing!
