“ Honestly for the lunch price point of $20 I can't really say much negative. The bar and buffet are really nice to get what you want without having to go through service. Unfortunately I have to dock points because several items at the bar and buffet were out for longer than I'd expect and the quality died down pretty fast on the hot buffet items. Felt like there wasn't enough heat. Aside from that, solid experience and solid meats. My go to bite was a beef belly taco with corn cheese, which was really easy to stock up on because of the bar. ”
“ I found Gui Gui 9292 on Instagram and was immediately intrigued by their lunch and dinner specials. Korean barbecue often costs upwards of $40 these days, so I'm usually hesitant about going unless I'm really craving it. However, this place offered a $25.99 dinner special with tons of options, which caught my attention right away. Their setup is fantastic: the server brings some cuts of meat to your table, but they also have a self-serve meat bar where you can grab as much (or as little) as you want. In addition to the meats, they have an amazing selection of sides--glass noodles, tteokbokki, fish cakes, and more. I was so excited to see rice paper, which I love, and I kept going back for more. The staff was super helpful and accommodating whenever I needed anything. Speaking of the staff, they were incredible! Everyone was kind, welcoming, and smiling. Korean barbecue places are often chaotic and understaffed, but that wasn't the case here. We had at least three different servers check on us throughout our meal, and they even came by every 10-15 minutes to change our grill, which I greatly appreciated. We arrived at 4 PM for the dinner special and were seated immediately--no wait, and it wasn't crowded at all. I'd expected it to be packed, but it seems like they're still relatively new. The service was quick and attentive, making the experience even better. As for the food, the cuts of meat were good--nothing premium, but you can't expect the highest quality at this price point. For the value, it was fantastic. This is a perfect spot to bring someone new to Korean barbecue without spending a fortune. They also had tortillas, pico de gallo, and salsa at their bar, so you could make a little taco with your meat. I've only seen one other Korean barbecue place do this, and I absolutely loved it. One tip: their website says the $19.99 lunch special is only available Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 4 PM, but their in-person menu seemed to indicate it's offered every day, including Saturday and Sunday. If you're planning on going, you might want to call and confirm. Overall, I highly recommend Gui Gui 9292! The value is unbeatable, the staff is incredibly sweet, and the experience is just so enjoyable. I'll definitely be back! ”
“ Such an affordable and fun place to eat at. The dinner special is 25.99 and has so many options to choose from. The service was amazing. And the location is very easy to find. The place itself is big and doesn't get too hot. I've been to some other Korean bbq and the grill makes it really hot and smoky, but the smoke was not so bad here. ”
“ This is for our lunch around 3pm. We were looking for places to eat and I was trying to find a place that isn't too expensive but good amount of food. After yelping several places, this was new and replaced a previous cheap AYCE kbbq place I've been. Once we entered I immediately realized it's completely different. There is a self service station for meat and appetizers. The lunch deal price is 19.99$ with limited meat options than the usual dinner menus and there's a dinner deal priced at 24.99$. The only downside is that since it's a lot of self service, we didn't really interact with any of the servers and had to really get their attention if we wanted to water or the check. We got to order with a server the meats not in self service at the beginning but then given how hard it is to get their attention we just kept with self serving meat options. I think we asked for water refill three times and finally got it. We had fun eating some creative dishes we mixed together though, making tteokbokki with cheese and bulgogi fries, etc. the corn cheese was good, but the fries were stale unfortunately. They didn't replenish some of the appetizers or fries even after we left. When we asked for the check, they were a bit rushed. We didn't even ask if there was desert because it was transitioning to dinner time so we just left and by the time we remembered, we just went to Rite Aid for our thrifty ice cream. Bathroom is clean, not unisex even though they have a sign showing unisex restrooms. They are separated by gender and stalls inside. ”
