“ An extraordinary value and experience. Growing up eating at AYCE KBBQ, I felt spoiled by the quality and affordability of these meals in the local SoCal area. Places like Gen and Ookook have long dominated the non-KTOWN AYCE scene. However, Chris is not only every bit as affordable as its larger competitors but holds superior quality and taste. The marbling on the brisket, by in itself, is comparable to much more expensive, al carte restaurants nearby, and other staples like the pork belly are extremely on point. Service is also quick and hospitable. I highly recommend this place when looking for a reliable AYCE place in SGV! ”
“ Nice little place tucked away on Colorado Blvd. It even has an outdoor area for a pojangmacha feel. Grill at the table with all you can eat options. We were having lunch. Got the all you can eat anyway. Reasonable prices with tasty food. Server did not grill at the table. We ended up burning our meat a little. Plenty of good food and meat choices. ”
“ Went at lunch. Great time. Highly recommend. Service was great and the meats were even better. Couldn't get enough of the bulgogi. ”
“ I've driven by this place every single day for the past 6 years and never knew that the business is still ups and running! Management please spend some time on marketing cuz the food is delicious and it's a great place for some kbbq! I don't eat beef so all I had was marinated chicken but man I can have that chicken all day long it's soooo yummy! Steam eggs can be a bit more flavorful, soup was a bit salty, side dishes were surprisingly yummmyyy!! The restaurant is quite small and I think the largest party they can accommodate is up to 8. ”
“ I was looking for a Korean bbq restaurant in the Pasadena area to meet up with my friends with since they were staying in the SGV and we were coming from the Valley. We wanted to avoid Ktown because of the traffic on that particular night but still wanted decent, authentic Korean food. Chris Korean BBQ definitely fit the bill! I liked that there were set menus in addition to AYCE. We went with the Family Menu D for 7 of us (4 adults and 3 kids) and it was the perfect amount of food. The meat options included beef, pork, and even chicken and shrimp which was great because one of the kids isn't really into beef. Banchan had a nice variety and were tasty. We did have to order rice paper, radish wraps, and steamed egg separately since they weren't included in the Family set. Service was good. Although they don't cook the meat for you like some other kbbq joints, it was easy to flag someone down when we needed something. I called to make a reservation just in case. It wasn't really needed because they had plenty of room, but I liked that they take reservations. They ask whether you prefer to sit outside in the patio or inside. We opted for inside. Parking was easy to find on the side street. They do have a small lot but it fills up quickly. ”
“ Went to Chris Korean BBQ after a trade show event. Small spot in the corner with limited parking. Came with a group just as they were opening and was seated fast. There was one server but service was quick and attentive. Food was great, side dishes were on point. ”
