We dined there for weekday lunch, experiencing minimal crowding. The $20.99 per-person lunch buffet presented exceptional value, offering approximately fifteen diverse entree selections alongside a self-service salad and soup bar. Service was adequate, with attentive staff regularly replenishing the grill. Parking was readily available in the rear structure; however, the consistently malfunctioning elevator lacked any out-of-service signage, a matter requiring immediate municipal attention, particularly given the inconvenience for patrons with strollers, especially those parking on upper levels. Aside from this deficiency, the overall experience was highly satisfactory, and we intend to return.

This is my new go-to kbbq spot. It's the perfect spot for large parties and birthday events and the meat quality was . I really liked that I can plate as much salad, radish, kimchi, japchae, etc. as I wanted instead of asking the waiters. The waiters were really attentive in checking to see if we had enough meat and drinks and never had to flag them down. It was one of the best kbbq experiences I've had in a while and would highly recommend checking out Road to Seoul Alhambra!

This is my second visit to Road to Seoul BBQ in Alhambra. The best thing about this place is that they always have space to accommodate large groups without a reservation. We checked in at the counter, and everyone had to be present before being seated. The meat was fresh, and I loved the all-you-can-eat side dishes. The only downside was that for a party of six, we were only allowed to order three types of meat at a time due to their smaller portion sizes. The meat disappeared in a split second, and we had to wait for the next round to arrive. Free parking is available for four hours in the structure behind the complex.

What's better way to say goodbye to the city you fell in love with ? With some proper food of course ! This place had been on my list for months but never had the chance to eat here because I was so busy. During my last week here I finally came here with some friends to say goodbye to the city and I was not disappointed! They use robots to deliver your food but the waiter was still very friendly and attentive! I did find something pretty unique about this place and it wasn't the robots lol. They have a buffet style of sides so you can freely go grab them and load up your plate with kimchi, potatoe salad, japchae etc. the place is pretty loud because they play music and when it's crowded you can't really hear. I think the pricing here is pretty reasonably priced with the quality and types of meats you can order. We got the deluxe menu and I do think it's worth it because the beef tongue, ribeye, filet mignon, and the short rib definitely made it worth it.

I've been here multiple times and usually for their lunch special 20$ for weekdays. They have signs everywhere for deals and discounts, we also saw mirrors and decorations everywhere at the front. It was Xmas eve and my birthday, therefore, the price is still the same (Xmas eve is not a holiday) and I get half off! Seniors (60+) are 10% off. Usually when it's busy you need to check into the waitlist on the iPad but we got there right when they opened, 11am, but you need your entire group present to be seated. We were actually the first to enter and when we were all present, they needed more time to set up so we got in around 11:15am. Lunch special has limited meat options, still good variety and we always get the same: brisket, beef belly, thinly sliced pork belly, bulgogi, pork belly, and garlic pork belly. A kitty serving robot will come and bring you your meats, but the server will help bring it to you since it stops at the end tables and not the middle tables. Their side dish buffet is the best part, you can get as much kimchi, radishes, soybean sprouts, cucumbers, salad, lettuce wrap, macaroni salad, potato salad, fruits (orange slices), mushroom slices, and kimchi soup. There wasn't any appetizers since it's lunch. Each table gets to order up to 4 meats for the first round then it's 3 after that for each round. They don't have buttons to call a server so you need to wave your hand if you need to order before they ask you. Grill change used to be more frequent, I felt that since we sat in the middle of the three rowed tables, our grill kept getting burnt. I tend to eat a lot of meat so I tried to order whenever o see the servers but when more tables were filled, they sort of got busy and it was harder to grab their attention. Overall, good lunch, just wish they had buttons!

Pretty good AYCE value for $30, even better with $25 holiday promo or $20 happy hour lunch special. First you open QR code menu at the table, then wait for someone to come take your order (4 items at a time, you must finish ALL before they let you order another new item.) You get the sides and veggies from the salad bar. Brisket was my favorite menu item. Shrimp tasted rather spongy and nasty. But the best meat of all for me was the K-fc wings from the salad bar - crispy fried and juicy inside, so delicious!

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!
