Brother's BBQ, San Leandro CA

Spent $188 on food and charged us for to go to containers for the leftovers is that normal?

My daughter and I have been on our own since my husband was killed. They were open for Thanksgiving so we went brought a photo of my husband family owned place everyone is so very sweet to us. Even helped me cook. Absolutely recommend.

This place has changed hands from the grouchy owners of long ago. The food quality was surprisingly good and the service was really friendly and attentive. They have kpop playing on a TV. The vibe is casual so you're comfortable eating in your sweatpants. There's a parking lot. That alone was enough to get me to try it.

We order the chicken teriyaki and spice pork
Beef and everything was very tasty
And service was very pleasant

Really kind servers, solid food options, highlights are definitely the banchan, kitchen is delicious. The servers really are awesome. We'll go back.

First time here, food was amazing! Great service, they were really kind and friendly. Will definitely come back and of course I highly recommend this place!

I had been going to this restaurant literally for over 20 years and have been returning after they had a fire and it was rebuilt and now after an apparent third owner calling it Brothers's.
The layout of the restaurant has never changed. You can cook your own or have it prepared for you. I had Bol Gogee beef & chicken with Soju like I usually do but didn't care for the atmosphere now.
The place seems to have degraded to a local traditional Korean restaurant to a cafeteria style joint. The waitresses are pushy and trying to up sale you to order dishes you don't ask for. I was double teamed by two women. Oddly enough I saw the same practice at the two othe patrons tables that came in after me.
They now charge for TOGO boxes, which on the dining room floor you can see as it is a part of where they keep the inventory and it is clearly marked with different pricing plaques for different sizes.
The food has become basic and pricy, bit you always get enough for two. I need to find another Korean restaurant to go to for another another w0 years.

This is my favorite Korean restaurant in the area! Spicy tofu mushroom soup is my go-to and my partner gets the hot stone bibimbap. I always steal bites of his because both are so delicious. The bonchon spread is wonderful with lots of options and the best part is they will refill them for hungry piggies like me. Brothers BBQ is a must try if you like Korean dishes, even if you're vegan like us you will find something to please and the menu is quite extensive for those who want the BBQ side of things.

A little on the pricey side. Food is pretty good. They now allow you to grill the meat yourself. Service is really great. The ladies were really kind to us and came out with the orders very quickly.

Delicious! May be a little pricier, but worth it. Super good quality. We had the pork jowl and brisket. Friendly service. Can't wait to go back.

Food was great. Service was excellent. Banchan was really good. I’m usually not a fan of the fish cake, but theirs has a black pepper sauce on it that really makes it shine.

Ignore the negative reviews. Those are from the previous management. Under the new management everything is superb from food to service!

I ordered the beef yukhoe to gauge the freshness of the meat. It was definitely fresh, not something sitting around in the freezer. Presentation was marvelous

Very disappointing service. ZERO sense of responsibility on the restaurant's part. They waste too much time and have no courtesy for a customer's time.

Food is OK, but the service was awful. There was a long wait for everything (taking food orders, food to come out, getting a check, paying for the check). For example, the waitress went away twice while I was trying to pay. I thought perhaps because we're in a group, the mandatory 18% gratuity means that they don't care about providing timely service, but the service wasn't that good in the past either when I went there with fewer people or by myself.

I won't come back. There are better options for Korean food nearby.

Food is very good, but the waitress lady is hard to understand. She ignored my group and we never got drinks. Just don't come here expecting great service

I generally love this place no matter what anyone says gurl. This place is APPROVED by my standards!
