All You Can Eat Korean BBQ in Alhambra, Los Angeles, California... We were going to go to a different AYCE K-BBQ place, but the price was double that of Road To Seoul! We all chose the standard menu for $29.99 plus tax and tip. It's good to go with guys who like to cook... I just sat back and enjoyed... thank you, Jack and Tim! I parked in the free parking structure around the corner... thanks to the City of Alhambra! We didn't have a reservation, but got seated right away on a week night. We ordered 3 meats and went to the hot and cold entrées bars. We taught Jack to wrap his cooked meats in the thinly sliced, marinated radish... yes! By the time we returned to the table, our meats were delivered by robot. Our server placed the meats on the table and showed us that the robot can change expression when you wave your hand over his face! Cool! We had a great experience in this clean, spacious restaurant with convenient restroom! I can't remember how many rounds of meats we ordered... but I was stuffed! The ventilation was so good that our clothes weren't that smokey-smelling! I'd return again!

Plan was to eat at Gen but the wait was too long so we decided to give this restaurant a try and we were not disappointed. Service was great, food options were great. Flavorful food, and good quality meat. Portions were great as well. Ambience was cool. We will definitely be back! Bye Gen! Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the food..

My family was visiting from out of town, and I wanted to treat them to some Seoul food. Get it? Nvm. Haha. Anyway. We came here for some AYCE amazingness. We came around lunch time, on a Friday. There was no wait, and were immediately seated. Once we sat down, we ordered drinks and our first round. Meat quality was great and plentiful, and I believe we ordered around 5 rounds of meat? Could be more, but I can't remember. Haha. They had this robot that delivered our dishes. It was so cute. Overall, great food and great prices.

If you're looking for amazing Korean BBQ without the crazy wait, Road to Seoul is *the* spot. Seriously, the line here is so much shorter compared to Gen BBQ next door, and the food is just as good, if not better. We got the brisket, marinated short rib, bulgogi, and beef belly--all perfectly marbled and delicious. The buffet-style sides are a huge plus. You can grab as much kimchi, pickled radish, or cucumber salad as you want, whenever you want. Service was on point too--super friendly and always making sure our grill was in check. Overall, it's a great place to get your KBBQ fix without the hassle. Would totally come back!

I've been hearing about this place for the longest time, and it did not disappoint! They're running a promotion where from M-F, 11am-5pm, all-you-can-eat is $19.99. The meat is fresh and comes out quickly on the little robot guys. The sides are self-service which is convenient. Nothing to complain about!

Great food, service, and the overall atmosphere is just so great. Plus I feel very welcome at home. Also the $20 a person deal is so great and I can never get tired of eating here for lunch. I get hungry for Korean BBQ just by writing this, also the cat server is great. She definitely deserves Employee of the Month

I normally go to K town for BBQ but my friend recommend this place so I would give it a try The meat quality is 7/10 for me is alright, decent, and the price of course is cheaper than K Town The service is not bad I would like to give 8/10 How ever...the biggest problem is meat serving running slow...so slow...I order the next round when we finish it and we have 5 people but they serve 3 kinds only each time and it comes so slow...there was a time at least 15mins we had nothing to eat...so if you guys don't want to wait so long, order the next round when you get your food immediately!

The meat quality is excellent and paying happy hour prices you get the most bang for your buck! It's from 11am-5pm, for $19.99. You get a limited amount of meat options but you can't complain for the price. The sides were disappointing however, I got bean sprouts, kimchi, mashed potatoes and radish. But the bean sprout tasted sour, it was definitely getting bad so I stopped eating it. That's why I'm giving it four stars, if the bean sprouts were fresh it would've been five stars! (beansprouts are my favorite side dish) Never had it for dinner so I've never tired the other sides (I've seen japche, fried rice and Korean pancakes on Yelp) The service was acceptable but they rely on the robotic cat that serves the food to your table and she's kinda slow. As for the interior, it's clean and spacious.

I've been to Road To Seoul in Ktown before, but this was my first visit to their Alhambra location. Craving some delicious Korean BBQ, my initial plan was to go to Gen BBQ. However, the wait there was insanely long, so my friend and I decided to check out Road to Seoul instead. To our delight, the wait time was only 15 minutes, so we decided to stay. True to their word, we were seated promptly, and we were thrilled. Both Road to Seoul and Gen offer all-you-can-eat BBQ for the same price: $29.99 for the basic AYCE option. Trust me, the basic package is more than enough with its vast array of choices. What sets Road to Seoul apart is their self-serve bar for appetizers, side dishes, and sauces. The appetizers were a hit with options like fried dumplings, chap chae, and fried wings. The side dishes didn't disappoint either, featuring a variety of kimchi, cucumbers, and bean sprouts. They even have tofu soup and fresh lettuce for wraps. When it came to the meat, we ordered brisket, fatty beef belly, shrimp, pork belly, kalbi, squid, and octopus. Each item was delectable, and I was more than satisfied. In fact, I ate so much that I don't think I'll be craving Korean BBQ for a while! Service was great! I mentioned that they were out of tofu soup and it was refilled very soon. Staff was very friendly as well! An added bonus is their 50% off deal for birthdays. I'm already planning to come back for mine. All in all, Road to Seoul in Alhambra exceeded my expectations and will definitely be seeing me again!
