NelBom- Stanton, CA

My first post is, oddly enough, about Korean BBQ. It also happens to be all-you-can-eat. But if you consider the price for the variety and amount of food AND the quality of the food, you will wonder why you never saw this place. They serve the meat and any of the banchan to your table. So you can sit back and enjoy the meal at your leisure.

It's located not in the usual location: it's not in Garden Grove's Korea Town. Infact, it's on Beach, between Cerritos and Katella.

You have a choice of List A, or List B. List A has 4 choices of meat, for $11. List B has 10 meat choices, for $15. They both come with a handful of banchan, as well as steamed egg, thinly sliced rice noodle. You can ask for rice if you want. The Bean Paste Stew is commonly known as Miso, is pretty much a staple stew side item in Korean homes. It's name is "dwen-jang-guk."


This is the thinly sliced rice noodle and thinly sliced radish you "wrap" your meat with.


Compliments of the banchan that came w/ our all you can eat. To me, any banchan is mediore, because of my mom's cooking: it's just side attraction to the main course.

We started off with Cha-dor-bae-gi, the Black Angus Beef Brisket. It's thinly sliced and cooks up fast~This was only 1/2 of the meat given.. the rest were on the grill.

Ahhhh meat...


Next up was the Marinated Sliced Beef Rib, "Joo-moor-luck." It was very tender and flavorful.

Note the marbalization of the meat before cooking.


Items not pictured: side of salad that you can eat on its own or as a part of the "warp" w/ the noodle slice, steamed egg, whole grilled fish.

We also ordered the barbequed ribs, but they are just the meat portion and not the bones. I wasn't too excited about the large slab pieces and wished I got more of the joo-mool-luck.

On a previous visit, we did get the BBQ Chicken and Pork. Pork is done with a spicy blend and quite soft. The BBQ Chicken wasn't all too exciting and nothing special.

On Fri-Sat nights, it does get crowded. Even on a full night, we did get good service, and the waitress only forgot 1 thing, which we reminded her again.

Overall, considering the price, and considering it's all-you-can-eat, and quality of the meat, its a great bargain. Don't expect great banchan tho, if that's what you seek for in a Koean restaurant.

(Update as of 05.01.07 - quality does not seem as good as before.. I will make 1 more attempt at this place and determine if it's worth going back or not.)
