Blue House Korean BBQ

Our favorite blue house Korean BBQ on Howe Avenue in Sacramento is still closed for renovations. Because we have missed it so much, we traveled round trip almost 70 miles just to eat at the Vacaville restaurant. A much bigger and more modern restaurant than the Sacramento restaurant, what we also miss is the friendships and relationships we developed with the servers and manager. Gone right now is Peter, and Henry as servers and the gm Pho who left the company. They were candidly some of the most cordial and attentive servers and manager we had ever had the privilege to deal with personally. Pho always greeted us by coming to our table and making sure we had everything and no problems. The Vacaville restaurant was nicely decorated. Large entry lounge, with plenty of areas to sit and wait. It was adjacent to the full bar area, which had a large sitting area, tables and chairs as well as large TV for sports events. The dining area was also large. It has been renovated from what was the old hometown buffet restaurant. We selected the option A, which has be updated with more options of meats and side orders. The meats we selected were well marinated and tasted great. We selected the bone in Gabi, marinated spicy pork bilogi and beef bilogi. 3 each for the night. The rib eye was also nice and tender, and no overly marinated. In all a great dining experience. The price has increased, but what hasn't!

Great drinks & good quality of meat, everything was reasonably priced. The pork belly was delicious and the ramen hit the spot. I joined the waitlist online which was super convenient as they do have a wait time. The service was spot on- friendly and consistent so we enjoyed our meal and the meats kept coming. Will definitely be back!

We decided on a last-minute date night and tried Blue House Korean BBQ for the first time. We went with Option A at $38 per person (they also had other, more expensive menu options). You can order 3 meats at a time and 2 appetizers at a time. We really enjoyed the cheese corn and beef dumplings. My husband ordered the fried Korean wings in mango habanero and miso soup, and I tried tofu for the first time—surprisingly, I liked it! The only downside was that since it was so busy, we had to wait a while for the server to come back, whether it was to order more food or even to pay. My husband also would’ve liked more spice options—something like chili oil on the table would be a great addition without having to ask. Overall, the food was delicious, and we’d definitely consider coming back!

My wife and I dined here for our 10-year anniversary. Great atmosphere and only waited 5 minutes for a table on a Thursday night. Started off with some steamed rice, fried rice, and calamari and shrimp appetizers. Decided to opt for the Wagyu meat selections, which is a bit pricey at $109/person. The Wagyu was delicious, and the shrimp and butter lobster tails were great as well. My wife got a Margarita and I got a Moscow Mule. Both were great and a refreshing add to the meal. It was fun to try the more expensive meat and although it was good, I’d say there is more value to be had in options A and B for the dinner menu. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and our server really helped us get the best bang for our buck.

I visited here for a barbecue during my trip. While I was eating after choosing the all-you-can-it menu, among the beef brisket, beef brisket with soy sauce garlic sauce and bean sprouts caught my attention and it was very delicious. Marinated galbi and LA seasoning were so delicious, and seasoned chicken was also delicious. It was a wonderful evening with a perfect combination of side dishes such as soybean paste stew and cold noodles It feels like the boss is using ingredients without sparing. The raw meat was also of great quality, and the silantro sauce dipped in it is also excellent. I live in L.A. and it's a fresh taste that I haven't tasted there, so my family's satisfaction was the best, and the kind employees who work so hard that they want to come are commendable Anyway, it seems to be reminiscent of the best restaurant.

I had the Beef Bulgogi in the Dosiraks it was Amazing so flavorful and delicious First time I had ever been there my Waiter was very sweet I asked a bunch of questions and he was very polite and answered them all

We went for a birthday dinner and it was pretty much what I expected. The food was fine, not bad but not outstanding either. My daughter (11!!) absolutely devoured the baby octopus lol. The spicy beef bulgogi was tasty, the meat cuts were very inconsistent though, some big a d some really shredded and small. The grill temp started too hot and we weren't really given much in the way of guidance so another server had to come and re-set us basically. Re ordering was pretty easy and things came out fairly quickly at first but at the end, reordering things like drinks and desserts took a bit longer to come out, I do think they were short staffed though, plus we had a birthday dessert. Overall, it was a fun evening but not overly exciting and I likely wouldn't go back again unfortunately, but my husband and daughter definitely would. I am just particular.
