This place totally hit the spot, all the meat we barbecued was delicious, and service was so great! The fact that you can order anything you want to eat during your meal is incredible because you don't have to worry about leaving hungry or desiring more meat or other food at any time! I haven't eaten at an all you can eat BBQ in so long, but this place is totally worth it. The plain prime rib was our favorite cut of meat, plus the kalbi meat which is marinated prime rib. The chadolbagi (thin slices of beef) and the bulgogi were also great. And we ordered multiple egg casserole dishes, spicy soups like soon dooboo jigae, kimchi jigae, and a lot of their banchan. I LOVE how you can order these as soon as you finish it so you're not limited by just one. You can always have the perfect bite with the cut of meat you want and all the sides you want! This place was the perfect place to eat dinner after a day of swimming! I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to going again when I'm in town!

My husband requests Korean BBQ every year for his birthday. I love that i was able to make a reservation for our party of 10. Customer service was outstanding. Super friendly crew and very efficient! All ordering is done through your phone after scanning your code at your table. It was a little more effort and time initially to order but it was easy and the food was delivered very quickly. The quality and selection was fantastic. We loved that they had an array of chicken and seafood to choose from aside from all the standard meat cuts. Everyone in your party must be present to be seated. Parking is plentiful. And it's one of the few spots that offers outdoor dining as well! Pricing was reasonable as well for AYCE. This was our 2nd time here and I'm sure my husband will want to be back next year for his birthday.

Delicious and excellent value for this price point! We stopped by on Monday around 7pm and we didn't have to wait. We were greeted immediately and taken to our table. Our server was great! Asked if it was our first time and reminded us of the ordering process. Such an easy process! Scan the QR code and order from your phone. No having to wait for someone to stop by (although that wouldn't have been an issue as the staff is so attentive and someone was always around, checking in, or refilling) Our favorite meat is the boneless beef short rib! One thing that is really unique about this place is that they also offer pita bread and corn tortillas if you want to change it up from the usual rice & salad combo!

Went to I Can BBQ last night with my kids (12, 17) and we had a great experience. We are new to the KBBQ world this past year but have tried Shik Do Rak and Song Hak and like them both....but I Can BBQ was absolutely the best. Got a table right away on a Sat night at 6 pm. Everything is ordered on app and pictures make what you are ordering very clear. Service was fast and friendly. Finishing the meal off with a macaroon ice cream sandwich was perfect. I Can BBQ is our new go to KBBQ and we all can't wait to go back!

This is one of great placed to enjoy Korean BBQ. The meat is fresh and marinated meats are so tasty. Staffs kept checking on you to ensure we are fine and in case we want meat top up. Music was not that loud as well so customers can be able to talk without raising voice volume. The only downside that I experienced was the Steamed Egg tasted too salty made me didn't enjoy it. The rest we are happy & satisfied.

I was visiting a friend who lives near Irvine, and surprisingly, there weren't a lot of in-table grill KBBQ places around that weren't CRAZY expensive. This place was $37 per person, but it was still one of the cheaper options around! The parking was really nice and ample, but there was a pretty long line. We got there around 7pm on a Saturday, and there were 11 people ahead of us on the online waitlist. We signed up with a QR code, and it took us about 30 minutes to get seated, so it wasn't too bad - we ended up walking around the plaza. First thing we noticed - almost none of the employees were Asian (not that it's a bad thing, but we were a bit skeptical because... it's a Korean barbeque??) The quality of meat was actually pretty good, and everything was seasoned pretty well! The sides also tasted great - they had all the common things (bean sprouts, kimchi, rice paper, radish slices, fish cakes, cucumber salad, potato salad, etc.) There were a couple interesting options on the menu like pita, but it was a really good spread. I was going to take a star off because it wasn't the BEST kbbq place ever, but I'm adding it back on because our server that night was AMAZING. I didn't catch his name, but he's a young man with curly hair. He was super attentive and working really hard. He had a large section, but still got to all of us in a reasonable amount of time, and he was an excellent employee!
