I Can Barbecue Korean Grill

Eating here was both delicious and entertaining. It is all you can eat Korean BBQ with a terrific array of all you can eat halal beef and chicken options - the marinated brisket, spicy chicken, bulgogi, and marinated short ribs were all very good. All the ordering is done on your phone, and a robot brings your meat to the sounds of BTS. You can order up to four proteins at a time, and are able to order again every ten minutes. Cooking our own food was a bit inconvenient, but fun enough as a one off experience, and on the plus side, everything was cooked to our liking! A bit pricey as the halal version of the all you can eat is $41 for anyone taller than 50\\\". Still worthwhile for a memorable meat-gorging experience.

First of all, this place is not Muslim owned and they do serve Pork, although they have a separate Halal menu. I have been here 5 times and my experience with every trip keeps on getting worse. First couple of times, the experience could be rated from Excellent to good, but it went downhill fast. They have a lot of attrition because during the past year, that I have been going to this place, the staff is almost new every time. There are some new female servers here who are downright rude. There is this one server who kept on putting out the fire on our grill completely and when we couldn\'t grill our food for minutes and would complain to other\'s they would come by and fire it up only to be followed by her shortly and she will swing by again and put out the fire. This happened 4 times during lunch. Also the quality of meat kept on getting worse with every refill-order and more fat and less edible sections would be served. All this cost to the two of us a total of $75 dollars for lunch this weekend. There were two servers who were downright rude to us and when I complained that the other one keeps on putting out the fire replied back to me angrily in Korean... probably cuss words. It is sad that I am writing this bad review as this place had a lot of potential for Muslims. I hope that the management takes notice and trains there servers to be more polite and professional.

My kids wanted to go here as they had never been to a Korean BBQ. It was very busy with an hour's wait. They have a separate Halal menu. The server helps with ordering. The grill is in the middle of the table and you grill your own meat. It is "all you can eat". We had various beef selections. We also had chicken, however it took ages to grill perfectly. The sauces were very tasty. Overall my family enjoyed it. It is rather expensive, however the experience is unique.

Good quality, prime meat, prime side dish, all you can eat, healthy, salad, seafood, AYCE, GOOD SERVICE, NO WAITING

Came for late lunch/early dinner on Sunday and were seated immediately. Our group was 15 people and we were seated in a private room. Service was extremely efficient. We were able to order whatever meats we wanted using the QR code and it would quickly come out with one of the robots. The servers were also very prompt to swap out our grills for clean ones, fill up our sides and water cups. The meat was high quality, fresh, and tasted delicious! One of the best KBBQ experiences I’ve had. Will certainly be returning in the future

My family and I tried going to two other restaurants during lunch but both had 1 hour wait times. We cam here to I can and were seated immediately. So glad we came here. Food was outstanding. I love the little robot that brings the food, so cool. The robot brings your food out very quickly. We stayed and enjoyed for 2 hours. Parking was also free in the parking structure. I will recommend i can barbecue to everyone i know and I can't wait to go back. The human servers were also very friendly. Awesome place.

I am very pleased with your dishes and especially the meat. We came with our family on the recommendation of friends who said that the meat here is 100% halal. During our 2 weeks in the USA, we missed our meat. The halal industry is more difficult here than in Kazakhstan. But I do not despair, knowing that there are such cool places as "I can barbecue"!

Waiters are fantastic, friendly, and very attentive - they are the reason for the high review. I knock one star off because of their banchan/side dishes - not fresh or authentic. However, the halal menu option makes it possible for me to dine here, which I am grateful for. This Santa Ana location is the best I Can barbecue location!
