This place was awesome! We stuffed ourselves silly! I know it was good because my friend’s wife is Korean and he said this was good! They didn’t have lettuce leaves, or seaweed, or hot dogs, but we loved the meat and squid. Thank you… we loved our Korean server… our original server had a very serious look that was not inviting. But other than that, GREAT place! Packed and noisy… but fun environment. Maybe not for young kids.

Great Korean bbq!!! Wow big selection of different cuts and marinates for $32.99 . We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of the meats. Generous portions and very quick attentive service! All the little sides were good as well. The only thing I personally didn't like is the quality of chop sticks, very cheap kinds. Other than that amazing food!!! I highly recommend trying this place. Would absolutely come back. They also have a lunch menu and halal menu.

Saturday afternoon was seated right away, just 3 of us. First tip is don't wear anything nice here. You will leave smelling like a smoked fire pit. But it's worth it. They have a special halal menu and right on the table is the QR code to look it up. First time here and kids did all the cooking. The waitress was so kind and wanted us to try one more thing, just to make her happy we ordered it. Steak marinade. Delicious! And she didn't even charge us. Gave it on the house. I thought that was really kind. Fun restaurant for kids, it's experience dining. Not a place to go regularly, as my clothes kept the smoky smell all day, so this is a place for one offs and when you're craving halal Korean bbq.

I am from Hawaii and this is my first time trying a Korean BBQ place in CA. I been to many in Hawaii and always had good experience the food and sides is usually always tasty and these places has alot to offer. I would have to say I Can BBQ Korean grill CA is one of the best I have experienced yet. The best thing in my opinion that makes this place different and sets it aside from any other grill your own BBQ place is the fact that they offer Halal meat here. It really makes a huge difference in the taste and tenderness of any meat everything and everything we ordered including all the sides was extra tasty and juicy! Our wait time was 50min but we actually got seated within 10min which was nice the manager was really accommodating and made sure we got to sit down early. I definitely recommend coming here to enjoy a delicious big meal with friends and family. The price was the cheapest I have seen as well was 29.99 per adult all u can eat! They also offer happy hours. We will definitely return here.

Questions & Answers

Can non-halal and halal meats be cooked on same surface? If yes, isn't halal meat getting contaminated with left over pork fat on the surface?

The grilles are changed frequently before, during, and after diners eat. The grilles are cleaned and scrubbed throughly from what I saw. If a diner only eats Halal meats then in theory there would be no cross contamination. If you order and eat both Halal and non Halal, that would be a voluntary choice, IMHO.

Is there a wait

George Fazzah | Jul 11, 2018
Max Kim | Jul 12, 2018

There are no reservations as per the Yelp page and the words of the owner. The wait can be very long nearly 2 hours one night left and came back after 1 hour then still waited 45 minutes for 6 people ahead of us.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Pamela Fernandez | Feb 11, 2021

Outdoor, patio seating, servers and staff wear masks. Customers are required to wear a mask until they are seated. I felt safe. To enhance your safety, feel free to put Clorox/Lysol wipes in a ziplock baggie and wipe things down. No one will judge you. Also feel free to hand sanitizer spray your family members hands before you chow down. As for the restaurant...its fun, clean and delicious

To say 100% halal, no they're not. There are two menus available, the halal only menu and the non-halal which does have pork options.
