“ Burning X really surprised me. Lately I have been eating AYCE KBBQ too many times that the flavor and meat quality has been just okay and these spots claimed to be really top tier kbbq spots has been a let down. It's good but not OMG, I want to go back again vibes. BUT!!! Burning X's LA Galbi, is absolutely delicious. I am soooo in LOVE. To the point we stopped eating the marinated boneless short rib, rib finger, wagyu beef belly, premium short ribs, pork jowls and just focused on LA Galbi with the 3 bones. We order 5 orders. It comes in a set of two. It really has a great balance of flavor not being too salty or sweet or bland and the tenderness, amazing . Honestly all the pieces were excellent! Next time, I'm gonna ignore all the meats and just get the LA Galbi Short Rib ( with the bones)!!! I also enjoyed their kimchi bar, the pickled soy onions & radish and their salad with all of my LA Galbi Short Rib pieces. Absolute heaven and the service was amazing! ”
“ One of my top 5 KBBQ experiences in the Tustin/Irvine area. The restaurant has good lighting, clean seating and an overall great aesthetic. There’s a bar in the middle containing Banchan like kimchi, salads, and some meats like pork belly/bulgogi. The grills are hot and start up quickly and the food is overall very clean and delicious. For every visit I’ve had here, the servers and host have been very kind and attentive to my customers needs. BIG SHOUTOUT TO JAE/JAY, I came early near their last call and he got me situated immediately. Got my rice paper and sauces/salts. He has amazing service skills. I appreciate the great service and hospitality, along with the quick delivery on food. Big Ws for Burning X! 또 올게요 ”
“ Wonderful selection of quality meat here! We had a great lunch trying out the kitchen menu as well as the all you can eat meat bar. We picked the premium menu and loved the marinated prime beef boneless short rib cut the most. I appreciate how our grill was changed often and how there was attentive service. ”
“ Came to Burning X Korean BBQ and had a great experience. The space is clean, spacious, and well-kept, with a more traditional KBBQ setup that feels comfortable and not overwhelming. The self-serve banchan bar is super convenient and always stocked, which makes the experience feel easy and relaxed. Meat quality was solid overall, but the beef tongue really stood out — thinly sliced, tender, and cooked perfectly on the grill. One thing I really appreciated is that this is a spot where you can comfortably dine solo, which is rare for KBBQ places. Service was attentive, food came out quickly, and I never felt rushed. Great option for both groups and solo KBBQ cravings — I’d definitely come back ”
“ Meat quality is better than the other ayce boq that I've been to and I also like how there is a self serve bar for some meats and sides. My favorite cuts are the La Galbi and the boneless finger short ribs. Those were delicious. The basic cuts are good too like the beef belly and the brisket. Only wished they had more sides like kimchi fried rice potato salad but for the price it's great ”
