Banseok Korean BBQ

Found this restaurant on our way from being out of town. I’m glad we decided to eat here. Everything was delicious and customer service was awesome!! We were seated right away. You can choose to order your food or cook yourself. We decided to order because we were too hungry to be cooking lol. The galbee was very flavorful!! Very good portion for the price. The kimchi rice was nice and fluffy rice. Oooooo the fried chicken wings were delicious… crispy, not too much batter and had the right amount of spice. Definitely want to try the other flavors they had for the chicken wings. They have a good amount of sides which they are willing to refill whenever you want more. Customer service was an A plus. Two people working the tables came by often to make sure we had what we needed and refilled our sides with no hesitation. I definitely would come back and 100 percent recommend this place.

We've been coming to this location since it was known as Ohgane. One of the better authentic Korean restaurants in the Dublin area. We love the food and the staff are always so hospitable. My son has recently fallen in love with KFC and while Von's Fried Chicken is a franchise, this location has the best version. The batter is so light, crispy and the flavors are so good. On this trip my son ordered the spicy crunchy drumsticks and I ordered wings with honey butter and kimchi fried rice. Also definitely come and try their bbq menu!

The best take out Korean lunch in whole Bay Area, lived since 70's and know all the Korean restaurants. Been coming for several years. Food is consistent and nice side dishes. Bibimbop chicken and beef here.

Great food, great service, and reasonable AYCE Korean bbq price. We don’t feel mad since the service is a little slow since there is only one, we understand that because of we go there in the afternoon on New year eve.

the staff are friendly, try all you can eat barbque for $26 its worth it . must try

We've been here couple of times. I like way they're attitude. They all asked the right questions and refilled the pans. Super surprised why their Google reviews are 4. This is a 5-star place for me. The restaurant doesn't need to serve the best tasting food, but they may have a nice attitude and a comfortable vibe. This is like this place IMO.

Banseok Jeong Korean BBQ is an absolute gem. The food is consistently excellent — flavorful, high-quality meats and really well-prepared dishes all around. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything they serve. What truly makes this place special, though, are the owners. They are incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. That warmth, combined with the amazing food, makes every visit a great experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Korean BBQ with heart.

First, the servers are very attentive and nice. Food was served quickly andy kimchi jiggae ( Kimchi stew) was amazing. I asked for extra spicy and was just what I needed. Their side dishes (banchan) was also tasty. Authentic Korean food. I also ordered yangneum chicken ( spicy sauce chicken ) which, too was delicious. I have tried their Korean fried chicken in the recent past was also great. Perfect crisp with flavored chicken. The ladies were very attentive and checked on me to make sure everything was ok.

My family and friends have been coming here for years. We were nervous our first time there but felt welcome and appreciated as soon as we arrived. I have always gotten the best customer service here and amazing food. We are willing to take the hour drive just to have their Korean BBQ! I love their new to go side dishes they are doing. Highly recommend!!!

Our first time. We had Chicken Dolsot, my wife really liked it. Shared spicy beef stew, just a bit spicy but good. Flatfish, we didn't like it. We enjoyed all the small side dishes. Overall it was quite good.

We come here usually for late lunch and order either the soups, stews or the hot stone bowl (dolsot) bibimbap (rice with protein of your choice, veggies, pickled veggies and egg in an very hot stone bowl). Hardly anyone else is ever there. Quiet. Calm. It's like having your own private restaurant and we usually get attentive attention from the wait staff. What we like about Banseok Jeong is how generous they are with their banchan (small plate appetizers) in terms of variety and quality than many other Korean restaurants. For two, they will serve 12 sides and we always ask for a second round for everything. I personally ask if they have any dried jerky fish every time I go. Sometimes I get, sometimes I don't. At the end of the meal, they serve a refreshing chilled cinnamon soup. It's like tastes like chewing Big Red gum. Cleanses your palate and breath from all that kimchee and garlic! The only con is there is only one women's and men's restrooms. So if this place gets busy, there will be a line. In the women's restroom, there is a diaper changing table. Plenty of parking spaces in the Shamrock Village Shopping Center. There is also a private party room and they have a self serve Korean popiscle and frozen treats for purchase.

Nice restaurant but too much smoke during cooking. Ventilation didn’t work well. Smoke kept going to friends’ eyes & face. Staff asked us to leave in order to clean the table in 15min after we finished meals while they have lots of empty tables.

The food is good, and the quantity is significant; the service is standard but like a family eating place.

Really great Korean food. I'd recommend trying Bulgogi, Bibimap, Kimchi Pancake and Japche. Also, ask your server and they'll provide some excellent selections, too. Along with your meal, you'll get a selection of small dishes of banchan like kimchi, radishes, and other delectable assortments. And you'll end your meal with a refreshing cinnamon drink. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great service, usual korean bbq offerings. We (two adults, one toddler) were asked if we wanted a table with a grill, YES! We came for the $26.95 all-u-can-eat barbecue meal. Hot tea served immediately for the adults, water for my girl, and an oval plate with a fork and short spoon for her (adults already had chopsticks and long spoon). We were also given the fried sweet potato appetizer, which i could give my girl immediately. We started with ribeye steak and bulgolgi. Ribeye was tough, but the bulgolgi was tender and sweet, so i could give it to my daughter too. Our lunch included soup, rice, salad, and the usual appetizer spread. Next we had pork belly and brisket. Pork belly was tasty, but the brisket needed help (soy paste, oil, salt). Finally, we asked for two more plates, one bulgolgi and one baby octopus.. i would skip the baby octopus next time, not my thing :). So i dont know what the bad rap is about, the ladies were quite attentive (turning down our grill temp when they smelled smoke, haha), we asked for more tea twice, and our cups were promptly filled, we asked for extra broccoli appetizer, and it was provided. We will come back again, so we dont have to drive to Oakland for Gogi time or down to San Jose.

Steady Quality and Value for either a la carte or all u can eat BBQ. For variety, we like pork belly, pork neck in addition to beef.

Rude customer service…place was dirty and it smells like old dirty rag as you can see on the pic(dirty bench)

The food was horrible. The server was rude and seemed to have other issues going on. The food felt like it was sitting out all day. I wish I could give it zero stars. 10/10 would not recommend coming and spending money here. I was highly disappointed when I asked questions about the menu. She seemed annoyed and answered very rudely to most questions that were asked. I definitely will never be back and recommend no one come here.
