Mr. Lee's Barbeque House

My eyes were burning as soon as we got in there last week. I hadn't even sat down. We've been going for years (since the old location) I'm so glad I wasn't wearing my contacts. It wasn't long before I realized just why my eyes were burning. Our server this time wasn't changing the grills. Black smoke. (Never wear anything nice to korean bbq) I learned that a decade ago. He forgot our sodas.. and then went into a pretend as if he didn't take the soda order..yet. hmm... only to give me regular coke instead of diet. Usually we've had great service. My Yelp history proves that. The Filipino guy is the best server. He was there but not on our side of the room. Fish cake I couldn't eat this time. First time ever. Very fishy. Tasted old. The marinated pork belly wasn't edible and m

Liked. But some beef has lots of grease and servers were not enough to serve to customers well. Even burned grilled was not replaced for 10 minutes. Servers are kind but not enough for serving. Price is good. Quality is reasonable as its price.

The service was great. The waitstaff was very attentive, responsive, and helpful. Plenty of seating area. You feel like everyone is bunched up around a grill. I love the idea of buffet/grill your own. It's the prefect blend.

I am not even going to sugar coat it, the food is NOT GOOD. It is expensive, the options at the “buffet” are all cold and old. My rice was hard, my glass noodles were salty, the meats they brought our had no seasoning and tasted nasty and bland. Our server brought us our first 3 meats we ordered and didn’t return for literally the rest of our stay. He confirmed our sodas twice before bringing them out when we first arrived and they were STILL WRONG. The only good thing I tasted here was the prepackaged ice cream. I would never return and do not recommend. Idk how people like this place. It also felt dirty. If I could give 0 stars I would.

They know how to do business. I mean we cook our own meats and get up to pick our own side dishes. Paying them to cook and prepare our own food. I'm just saying, a good concept to open this kind of buisness. Found out that Mr Lee moves here from Cerritos location, I'm not sure if this is true but upon tasting the mash potato, it tasted like one. Still affordable from the rest of kbbq. Side dishes include miso soup, salad, fried chicken, beef dumpling, and more.
