Handoo Korean BBQ

Handoo organises Korean barbecue as a succession of cuts cooked at the table, with side dishes accompanying each round of meat. The official website offers three all-you-can-eat menus: US$31.99, US$38.99 and US$59.99; each tier expands the selection, with premium cuts in the higher options. Choices include brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, shrimp, ribs and wagyu cuts, alongside kimchi, vegetables and other sides. It is a group meal, slower than ordering one individual dish, and everyone at the table must choose the same menu.

Customer comments repeatedly praise the range of meats, quick delivery of orders and grill changes, and availability of side dishes. Some diners like the marinades; others prefer unseasoned cuts or find the bulgogi inconsistent. Reviews also mention smoke building up in the dining room and the time it can take to park in the plaza. The restaurant limits AYCE dining to two hours and warns that excessive leftovers may incur charges, so ordering in manageable rounds matters.

Handoo is at 4647 Convoy St, Unit 104, San Diego, CA 92111; the phone number is (858) 565-0403. It opens daily from noon to midnight and lists last call at 11 p.m. Menus, children’s restrictions and the leftovers policy are on the official website; parties of eight or more receive a 15% gratuity charge. If the group wants the least expensive option, compare the entry menu with the cuts you actually want to try before sitting down; the premium tier is worthwhile only if you will use the expanded selection.
