U Grill Korean BBQ brings tabletop Korean barbecue to central Rancho Cucamonga.
For years, the Korean barbecue answer around here was a resigned one: get on the freeway and drive west until the signage changes language. U Grill Korean BBQ is the closer answer, with tabletop Korean barbecue in central Rancho Cucamonga.
The format is the point. Meat comes to the table raw, you cook it yourself over the grill set into the table, and banchan, the small shared side dishes, fill in around it. It's a meal that goes better with a full table and a slow pace.
The things that separate a good Korean barbecue room from a great one are the ones you judge in person: the spread of sides, how well the ventilation keeps up, the quality of the cuts.
