Reviews for Pan Korean Bbq & ShabuShabu (Go Goo Ryeo) in Garden Grove, CA

Last night around 6:30, my buddy and I wanted to check this place out. As soon as we walked in, only 1 party (2 dudes) were... eating. Ok. Why is this place slow? Should we walk out? Noticed a lady cleaning the utensils and her back was turned to us. Gotseated within 40 seconds. AYCE (All You Can Eat) Choice A: $29.99 Did notice other choices with higher prices. However, myfriend and I mostly eat brisket and pork belly. So, we went with $29.99 First Order: 2 briskets, 1 garlic pork belly, and 1pitcher of Cass beer Second: 1. brisket, 1 spicy marinated pork, and 1 beef belly Third: More salad, rice papers, 1 brisket,corn cheese, 2 egg soups Last: 1 brisket The waitress and tall waiter was nice and attentive. The hispanic gentleman changingthe grill was very nice too. Some of the reviews I read...was not true. I was impressed with this place. I would come back forsure. Read more

Blindly walked into this place on a Friday night and had a wonderful experience! We are not high class KBBQ goers-- Moon BBQ #2... in K-Town is a favorite-- but this place was just right for us! Pleasant atmosphere and great service! Our waiter Kwan was sofriendly and attentive and had some great suggestions! Marinate the sliced pork belly in soy sauce!!! I also appreciated that heencouraged us to turn the grill up and down ourselves, rather than slap our hands away like many other places. The sliced porkbelly was delicious and shaved very thin-- usually I prefer it on the thin side and this was perfection. They also do shrimp andsausage on their basic menu. Lots of things to choose from! Good bon chon variety as well though they didn't have bean sproutsthe night we went in. They also sent us off with a complimentary cup of chocolate ice cream! They have more private rooms inthe back that would be great for a group event! Read more

I've been on the hunt for a good KBBQ place in OC for the past few weeks and I think I may have found the perfect spot! Pan... Korean BBQ had everything I was looking for when reviewing their menu on Yelp so my bf and I decided to give them a try thispast weekend. We arrived on Saturday evening around 6:30pm and there was no wait, we were seated right away. The restaurant hastable seating for regular customers and private dining room options going around the perimeter of the main area. The enclosedrooms would be nice if you have a larger party and want a more private experience. Our waiter came around pretty quickly to getour order. We ended up going with the cheapest AYCE option which is $22.99 and has a nice variety of options to choose from. Iwent with my usual: Beef bulgogi, Spicy beef bulgogi, Corn cheese and Rice cake. The meat was marinated well and had a ton offlavor. Corn cheese was delicious as well - I don't know what kind of cheese they used but it paired perfectly with the corn andtasted very fresh. I liked the consistency of the rice cakes, made for a nice side dish with the meat and corn. I'll have to trymore dishes when I go back. The only thing I will note is that the service was quite slow. While we had a great server, he wasvery friendly and tried his best at being attentive to us - it did take a while to place further orders and get our bill. I knowthe restaurant started getting pretty busy after we arrive so maybe they just needed more servers working but that was the onlydownfall of our experience at Pan Korean BBQ. Other than that I will definitely be back because their food is delicious and justright for me! Read more

Today, i had shabu with my husband. We never cared about the price but all happened tonight so bad. I won?t come back... again!!!!! They allowed me to order 3 dishes/ times but every round let me wait about 30 mins. The server is korean, service isgood but do not understand what i ordered. I asked for crab, pork and scallop but they are served me as beef, clam (smell soBAD) and scallop to me. ???????????? MOREOVER, the angry thing is WE SAT 2 HOURS HAD 6 DISH STILL HUNGRY because we have towait the food so long long long very long even though do not have much customer. I?m look around just about 4 tables with 2servers. It?s doesn?t make senses. Do you know? How long ? She refilled soup a second time and already evaporated but food notcome yet. ???????????? Then we gave up and go grab MC because hungry!!! We follow the food many many time and very polite.Finally, i gave tip to server!!! Because i try to polite but I won?t back !!! If you are hungry should not go to this place!!!!!! Read more

Found this place at 10:30pm cause nothing else was open, but what a gem. The quality of the meat is right on par with AYCE... restaurants in LA and they even give you one soon-doobu, one soy bean paste stew, and one steamed egg PER PERSON. Normally, youget one for every four people...There was only one waitress working at the time (bless her heart), but despite the workload, shewas super friendly and always stopped by to see if we needed anything. I'll be back if I'm ever in the area! Read more
