Wang Cho BBQ - Korean barbecue restaurant in Chino - 3911 Grand Ave, USA

Our group is 4 came here for dinner around at 6:30pm, we got table in patio ( enclosed patio) with heater so no problem if it is cold outside. Since it is tables in patio so the grill is on portable propane stove which we do not like much but it is acceptable rather than waiting for table inside. The waitress who serve our table is very active and helpful The thing I was really annoyed is how the side dish and sauce for dipping that they gave us at first, not sure if enough for one kid to eat but they gave for 4z!? I understand you can call but I would be happier if I could ask less to our waitress, she ran like crazy for us when we ask sauce, sides,etc, I felt bad when had to ask for every little thing when it can be settle easily to save times and energy. I know you try to save money on side dishes and sauce but please make sense a little bit, you can count how many slide of fish cake or cucumber there!? Be generous a bit, your menu price is not cheap and your food quality is not the best.

Overall is good. we been to many Korean BBQ buffet restaurants. This restaurant is one of lighter (not too salty) on their marinated meats.

I was surprised and felt "special" that we were being served by "several" servers. Service was seamlessly quick and pleasant, and the suction vent was so quiet, I kept looking up to see it was working properly. But, it was so efficient, you don't see the smoke blinding you while grilling beef. And, they exchanged the grill pan so frequently, there is no time to worry about "carbon monoxide = cancer." Over all, I would have given 5 🌟, but, the guiding employee was wearing heavy perfume, and she was passing by our table a lot, I had to cringe!!! Her perfume just ruined my perfect lunch session...

Wang Cho BBQ is your standard all you can eat KBBQ restaurant. The menu has different tiers with different prices. Higher tiers cost more, but come with items other tiers don't (like shrimp). The banchan is minimal, but tasty and refilled as many times as you want. Also included is salad, rice, fluffy egg, and other dishes. The brisket and spicy short ribs were both good. I'm not certain if the AC was out, but they did have huge fans blowing air. They helped, but the place still felt a bit stuffy. Aside from that, the staff was friendly and the place was clean.

It's hard these days to say it's Too Pricey because Everywhere is pricey... This was our first visit so let's just concentrate on the Great Food and the Great service! I believe our waiter was Erin (?) (Slim Male with glasses) and Kathy! Great job! Service with a smile! And hustled with our refills and 2nd order of meat! This place was busy! We definitely will be back!

My parents and I have a monthly tradition of going out to dinner before going back to their place for cards (Canasta; an epic game), and once I learned that they'd never had Korean BBQ, I rushed to take them here, on recommendation of a trusted friend. I arrived first, and when I had returned from the restroom, there was already an assortment of sides (Spicy cucumber salad (oi muchim), Korean bean sprouts (kongnamul muchim), Kimchi, and macaroni salad, along with a wonderful Japchie (cold glass noodles in a dressing with chopped greens)). They arrived shortly after, and the drink service was immediate as we looked at the menu: a triptych of lists, each in hierarchical order by quality and price. It being my month to pay, and my being a good and dutiful son, I had to choose the Emperor-level feast at $49.99, which offered 40 some-odd meats and concoctions you could order, and to no end or boundary (other than a 2-hour time limit, which they are very generous about). Our first round was Angus brisket and short ribs, along with tongue. To vary things, I had to get the jumbo scallops, and the honey-bbq chicken called out to me as a nice palate-lightener. Finally, I threw in some pork bulgogi to finish things off, and it was mere minutes before I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. Of course, it only seemed right to assume chef-duty, being not just the one with more experience (it's been years, but I've been to several Korean BBQs in the past), but as sort of a filial obligation (I'm pretty sure, after all, that that's how it's supposed to be done in Korea with adult children and their parents...) Fortunately, the quality of these meats (and scallops) are *so* exquisite that even as a very amateur chef (I've worked in a few kitchens in my day, and I'm decent, but definitely not "classically trained" in any sense other than watching way too much YouTube, lol), I was able to impress my folks and grill up some of the most tender, juicy, flavorful cuts that I (and they) can remember eating in years. Especially noteworthy was the honey bbq chicken, which unlike most of the meats you order was heavily marinated and seasoned, and attained such a depth of flavor and moisture that it was just otherworldly how the juices still dripped out after a generous sear on the grill - you do have to sort of develop a sense of when it's done, but they give you tongs and scissors to assist you in preparing and determining completion (if you are at all nervous or worried, you can always bring one of those instant food thermometers and follow FDA guidelines, although I assure you that pretty much everything but the chicken and pork could be consumed darn-near raw and you'd be fine (though I wouldn't recommend it, and I must disclose that I am not a healthcare or food-safety professional, nor are my views endorsed by either Wang Cho or Google™ lolol)). The bulgogi was another standout - and even though it had a chili-pepper next to it on the menu, my father was still able to eat it (despite being a so-cal native, he has the spice-palate of a New-Englander), so kudos to the chefs. Our second foray into bbq heaven was with the fresh shrimp, the "sausage" (just called that, even in Google Translate it comes out as just "sausage" - we asked, though, and he said it was a beef sausage, which surprised us, as we thought it was chicken and pork, it was so light and clean). I had a close call with the shrimp, I admit; I was getting so caught up in eating and enjoying watching my parents experience all these amazing flavors for the first time (e.g., dad never had tried macaroni salad and white rice together, a favorite I first encountered at a Hawaiian bbq place, and he *loved* it), I almost overcooked the shrimp, but I was able to quickly respond to a shell-pop by scraping it off and letting it finish, and it came out *perfect*. Overall, despite the noticeable wait between our first and second courses, basically everything about our experience was simply immaculate, and I look forward to coming back!

I took my friends here just to enjoy some conversation, laughter, and great food. They have a wide variety of meats and dishes to choose from, and they are the fastest at taking your meat order and bringing it out fresh from the cutting machine. If you're in the mood for some outstanding Korean BBQ and great atmosphere and in Chino stop by Wang Cho BBQ, you'll leave full, happy, and satisfied with the food, servers, and pleasant atmosphere. One reason why I don't take pictures of what we're eating when I go out with fruebds to eat is because I have 1 important rule no phones out at the table. Just enjoy the moment without being behind a phone.

The service, food, and atmosphere here is amazing. I haven't been to other Korean BBQ restaurants, so understand that my review won't be comparing it to others. I've been to this location at least a dozen times and it's consistent quality service. If you don't understand the food you want to order, just ask! All employees are more than happy (in my experience) to explain what the food is and how to cook it. This location is very accommodating too! I've been here with friends and our group ranged from 2 - 14 people. Obviously the larger your party, the longer the wait, so expect that if you go at peak times with a large group. Believe me though, the experience is great if you're new, and if you're familiar with KBBQ then you already know what to expect!
