Around 22$ for all you can eat, it’s a great deal! Our favorites are brisket, pork belly, and hawaiian pork steak. There are so many types for you to try. However we did not order other appetizers or food because we are there just for the meat, so we can’t say if their cooking is authentic or not. Our waitress was very caring, she offered to change the grill for us couple of times and being attentive. They get very busy and always rushing here and there, be patient and understanding. On weekends they will have dinner items at dinner price for the whole day. Weekdays will be cheaper for lunch timings but not all menu are available. Drinks are not included.
Felt like Korean again so picked a place as I drove by. Excellent food and service was pretty good except at the end I asked twice for the cold noodles but never got them. Oh well can't be perfect all the time. Would definitely come back again to try other options.
Super sketchy area, but do not let that stop you. For $20 AYCE - you cant go wrong. 50 item menu? What? I ate everything and it was one of my top ten AYCE Korean BBQ spots that I have ever been too. Considering most are in the $35-$50 range for the same meats. Service was excellent, great crowd. My server told me several times to relax and no hurry. Awesome! See my pics! Yummy!!!
This was my first experience at OMBU. I am visiting from out of town and was looking for something to do and was a little hungry. This place seemed to fit the bill. I don't normally care to cook my own food at a restaurant, but as I had nothing else to do, I thought I would try. The meats came out sliced perfectly. I ordered fried dumplings. They were a little smaller than I was used to seeing, but there were plenty, and their flavor more than made up for the size. They were quick to swap out cook tops as needed and often stopped to check if anything else was required. I will make one note. As someone who doesn't care for Kimchi, theirs was delicious. Good enough that I requested the kimchi fried rice. It, too, was amazing. I will most definitely bring coworkers here and family when they visit me out here. All in all I would 100% recommend OMBU Grill. Kid-friendliness: Servers were friendly with the kids. However I would be cautious with littles too close to the cooktop. Wheelchair accessibility: Most tables so they could easily move chairs around for wheelchair access.
Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - the proteins we selected were all nicely cut and seems like decent quality as they weren't frozen solid still nor melted. The galbi was a bit disappointing as it was really chewy not in a good way. The sides and appetizers were surprisingly good! Note that the marinades and flavors seem less Korean and more Japanese/Chinese. They were out of 32 bacon enoki or no longer carry it. These were the items we ordered 2 takoyaki, 14 fried sesame balls, 18 prime beef brisket, 19 prime beef tongue, 20 prime pork belly, 24 Ombu signature beef tenderloin, 25 Ombu signature galbi, 39 herring grill, 49 corn cheese, and 52 beef donejang soup pot Ambience: 4/5 - nice and cozy shop without the music being too loud. The shop did get really smokey as the night went on. Service: 5/5 - slight language barrier but the server was really nice and came by to check on us multiple times Value for price: 5/5 - The banner outside has incorrect advertised price! Lunch $14.99 to $15.99 and dinner $19.99 to $21.99. The food was good though and we saw the difference in price when we opened the menu so we weren't too shocked
Great place for all you can eat Korean BBQ. I’ve tried a few KBBQ restaurants in the valley and this is my new favorite. The location sucks, tons of homeless with not enough parking in their lot. It’s safe enough but definitely lock your car and be aware of your surroundings. The restaurant is a good space to enjoy time with friends. KBBQ is a social experience. The grills work well. The staff are okay, not great. The prices are good compared to other AYCE restaurants. They bring food out pretty quickly and you can eat a lot! They have a wide variety of items on the menu, both ones you cook yourself and some that come prepared. The corn cheese is super tasty, as are the takoyaki fried balls of fish. The meats are good quality. I’ve never been worried about food coming here.
Single worst korean bbq experience ever. The meat they brought out was dry and brown around the edges. Looking like freezer burn. I was afraid to eat it. The soon tofu soup was yellow and looked horrible. I walked away. I'm really worried about the quality of the food. The outside of the building was really dilapidated and I was willing to overlook that but the food quality was as bad as the appearance. The kimchi also tasted really wrong. Like it had some sweet syrup in it. Save yourself the money and time and go somewhere else.
Lovely staff, changed are plate a lot. The item that looks like Mac and cheese is actually corn with cheese pretty taste. Would have preferred more refills. But still a lovely experience.
We were visiting from the Los Angeles area and we were looking for a serious kbbq fix in SLC. Overall the meat was decent. I recommend the short rib and brisket. I expected more from the bulgogi since it's an essential Korean dish. Maybe it was a bad night, but I would stay away from it. The rice was decent and was a nice touch. The sauces were sweet if your into that. Overall, a decent fix with the essentials in the SLC area.
I really enjoyed my time in OMBU grill, the staff was splendid and the food was great! I honestly think it’s a good place to come with friends and enjoy a meal. Will highly recommend.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoCurbside pickup: No
