Flamingo Bbq Gril - Irvine

This restaurant used to be one of our family 's favorites but my last visit (on 9/7/22) was rather disappointing. The medium-rare top sirloin was tough and over-seasoned with excessive salt. I gave feedback to the server but regretted not returning it or ordered something else instead. My wife 's baby back ribs that used to fall-off-the-bone was OK and not as food as in the past. The atmosphere and service were good, and prices reasonable.

The food quality has gone down so much (except the bread), also the place is very filthy, I wonder why the health department has not given them a fine/warning or has not closed down the place.

I was NOT expecting to love this as much as I did! It was amazing. Our waiter was SO good and the food was phenomenal. I want to go back!

Lunch is $25.99 plus Hot Tea: $5.90; you only could order 4 dishes at a time and then “going on forever”, however, you should not have left-over, otherwise, a fine, I assumed. A few choices only available for dinner price($32.99). We ordered Skinny Dipping Cow; Karubi In Tokyo; Tried N True(Bulgogi, Tasty); Daa Pae Pork Belly; Surfin Shrimp(each order has 4 pieces); Winnie The Poohs Sn; Eight Firing Arms(spicy octopus, each order has 2 pieces). We enjoyed Bulgogi, shrimp and octopus more than others. Service was good and responsive.

Flamingo grill is just across the highway from us. 8/30/21 we ordered 3 Patty Melts and 1 cheese burger and everything was awesome. Our food was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious. Love supporting this place!
