Central BBQ Lakehouse

I was taken here by my cousin visiting Phoenix and am a huge fanatic of kbbq. It sits by a lakeside so it is accompanied by a very nice view! I reccomend getting tables outside to get the view but if not, the inside seating is still just fine. The meats themselves are great cuts and for the basic menu, you get an incredibly diverse menu full of options. So much so that you won't miss out on much if you don't order the higher tier of meats. The meats are delicious and the portions are even better, they do not give skimpy portions! They are presented beautifully as well and was overall such a good spot for being slightly hidden. The best part of the resteraunt was the service! We had a server named Pati and she was the best server Ive had in a while! She was very sweet to us all and went out of her way to provide exceptional service by giving larger portions, getting the meats quicker, and helping us cook our meats when our hands were full. I strongly recommend getting her for your table as it definitely makes the experience much better. Definitely check this kbbq out and dont let the looks deceive you!

Central Lakehouse Korean Barbecue is such a great spot! The food is incredibly yummy and the quality of the meat is top-tier. The staff are super friendly and welcoming — they gave us helpful recommendations, let us know when they were cutting the meat fresh for us, and even thanked us for waiting. The atmosphere is amazing as well. You can sit outside right by the lake for a beautiful view or dine comfortably inside. The restaurant is clean, relaxing, and very well kept. I also loved the self-service rice and salad bar — it’s really convenient and makes the experience even better. I’ve been here twice now, and both times were fantastic. My friends loved it too! Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.

Our server was wonderful and very welcoming. She was the best part of our first time experience there. We were there this past Tuesday January 6th. We went during lunch and had the lunch special. We had the beef and seafood combo. We also had the chicken combo. Everything was great. There is also a salad bar. It sits on the lake and is beautiful.

We had a great experience at this Korean BBQ. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Isabela took great care of us and made everything even better. The restaurant is right by the lake, and we took a boat ride before eating — it was beautiful. I especially recommend coming in the spring when everything looks amazing. Highly recommended!

Had the most incredible Thanksgiving dinner and even though we were the only table there, these service was impeccable. All of the banchan (side dishes) were delicious. The meat quality was superb and much better than AYCE spots like Gen. They had the highest quality cuts with Michelin level service. Wonderful atmosphere. Will be back!

Was not expecting such amazing customer service. The Food quality is chefs kiss, from the moment my daughter and I walked in we felt welcomed Ryan greeted us so nicely and our server pati was beyond amazing we were treated with so much kindness. The Boat ride was the icing on the cake. This will be my new restaurant You now have a loyal customer.

Pretty decent all you can eat spot! The staff were super nice to us and they have great happy hour deals. I liked their banchan and appreciated all the fans they have around the restaurant. Definitely much better than Gen (not sure what some other reviews are talking about with Gen being better...) and really enjoyed their Hawaiian pork belly and thin cut beef belly. The view of the lake is really pretty and the $5 boat ride after is worth it. Can't wait to come back once the weather gets a little nicer!
