I came here for the first time from my friend's recommendation. The food was very fresh and I loved the salad dressing it was great. Staff are very friendly and there is no need to wait long .

This place is now in my top 5 Korean BBQ spots! Food: I absolutely love that it's a true all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. You get everything from salads, side dishes, and sauces to your choice of meats right at the salad bar. No need to constantly ask for more meat--you can just go up and get exactly what you want. 100% perfect. Service: The service is quick and efficient. The only time you might need a server is for a grill change or drink refills. Ambiance: The ambiance is great. While the seats could be a bit roomier, they were still comfortable enough to enjoy the meal. I'm sad I didn't get a chance to take pictures, but next time I visit, I'll definitely snap some. I highly recommend this place Thanks for the meal! I'll be back for more

Went on a Saturday around 3 pm and paid $30/person which I believe is the dinner price because it's the weekend. Also got a peach soju and a soju bomb (beer and og soju). One of the servers/hostess, Nancy, actually taught us how to make the soju bomb. She was so kind and friendly, and I'd definitely come back just to see her again. The whole place was clean and had a modern interior with booths galore. I love their buffet concept for the meats and sides since one of the biggest downfalls for kbbq is waiting on refills. Definitely one of my fav kbbq spots in Riverside for quality of meats and price!

10/10 Went for lil brothers birthday. Service was great. Just a little packed. Don't recommend going on a weekend. Food was amazing. There is a lot of sides to choose and pick from.

Staple in the community. This was one of the original KBBQ places when they were not so popular in the 2000s. They have been serving quality meat and food for the longest time. The original owner was wonderful and I can still voice for their attentive service. Staff is nice and they work extremely hard to keep everyone happy at one of the busiest KBBQ in the Inland Empire area. MUST TRY for yourself. : )

Appreciate the ability to select individual sides and meats, as well as the option for server-provided meat choices via a check-off list. Freshness of all items is evident. Service fast, meat fresh. 3/23/2024 dinner time

lunch special m-fri 12-330 $22.99 dinner $29.99 came here on a Saturday at around 3 PM and we got seated right away and it was super fast and they got our order and our drinks came in within a few minutes. they were very attentive to what we wanted right away. All of the employees are wearing a mask. The food was really good. I really enjoyed the potato salad. It was really creamy and the brisket and beef Bulgogi was marinated very well. The japchae was kind of peppery and I love the fishcakes. All of this was $68.99 and it was pretty good and pretty decent price for Korean barbecue. they also give you a slip for special item menus like the kalbi ribs and other things. oh and if you are craving sushi or California rolls, they have it there and it taste really good!! parking is a little hard because it's very limited. They also have ice cream at the end, I really like the idea of going up and getting stuff yourself so you don't have to bother other people when you need something. overall I totally would recommend it if your in the riverside area!

There are enough meat selections. There are also hot foods like fried rice, veggies tempura, pot stickers, and calamari. Calamari was good, not tough. There are many sauces options to go with the meats. Beef bulgogi or beef teriyaki, not sure which one, that was good. I like the pork belly, cooked to crispy. All the sides are good not the best, fish cake was salty. Service was good. We came on Tuesday so it was not too busy.

I love how you're given the ability to get your own sides and meat. There's also an option to request for meats that aren't self-serve through a check off list that's picked up by the server. The quality of everything is fresh. The restaurant gives off the usual Korean bbq ambiance. Customer service was attentive enough to take your dirty plates so that it doesn't stack up and they come often to check if a grill change is needed. The best part was the magical soft serve. The creamy vanilla flavor is so simple but left such a huge impression. I'd come back again, no doubt!

TLDR: + Small parking lot. Can be challenging finding parking on prime days/times. + Buffet style AYCE + Brisket & Beef belly are both delicious. I have been here many times and am very surprised I haven't left a review. Koreana is me and my boyfriend's #1 KBBQ spot in the area. We are always comparing others to this one. Koreana is buffet style AYCE. I love the buffet style compared to the traditional serving type of service because you are in control of your portions and rounds. AMBIANCE: The parking lot is small and shared between numerous businesses. There is also parking in the back if needed. We don't usually have too much trouble finding parking, but you could assume that Fridays/weekends can get busy. You do have to check in at the restaurant as they don't offer the Yelp waitlist. The place is clean, although not as modern as places like WangCho or Gen. FOOD: There are sections for hot/cold appetizers, meats, soup/rice/rice paper, and soft serve. They do offer a selection of meats that you must request on the given paper rather than you getting it yourself. There are numerous sauces to choose from, as well. I love their brisket and beef belly! Their spicy tofu soup is always a regular item for me. They do offer rice paper. Sometimes they run out but are pretty quick to refill on most of their items. Service is good. They are pretty quick with drinks and grill changes.
