"I'm really confused about what happened and if there were changes since the last time I came here, which was a few months ago. I came again about a week ago with my friends for a celebration. A few days prior to that, I called to make a lunch reservation for this Santa Clara location. The lady on the other end was really sweet and recorded all of the party information and date/time. However, on the day of, I arrived for the lunch I planned with my friends informing them i was here for my reservation, and the employee there looked extremely confused and said there was no reservation, while flipping through their notebook at the front. Thankfully since our reservation was for lunchtime right when Beque opens, there were still lots of tables, and so she said she will seat us even though we don't have a reservation.They only brought out 2 saucers of sauces for our party of 6 and forgot to bring out more until we reminded them. Our order took longer than usual to come out. Some people in my party also used the bathrooms and said they weren't maintained recently.Maybe I did not come on a good day or they were understaffed that day, because I did only see one person attending to all the tables during the time I was there. The experience i had last week contrasts greatly to the dinner I had here months before, which was also a reservation but was organized well by the staff. Although the service was not as it's strongest at this time, I will always appreciate Beque's generous portion sizes, fair pricing for AYCE, and extensive menu that contains many options without marinades and is perfect for people with allergies/intolerances."

"My mum and I came here for dinner with our Korean tour group. The tour agency, USA Tours, has a relationship with this restaurant and often brings its clients here. It is located on the second floor of the Waikiki Resort Hotel, which apparently is owned by Korean Airlines. Our tour guide had called them before our arrival so we were immediately seated at two 4-top tables (we were a group of 8 for dinner . Stew was already cooking on the burners on the table and servers soon brought out rice bowls and four side dishes. We had a vinegar cucumber/seaweed side dish, sliced radish, kimchi, and beansprouts. I get that a lot of older Korean people may not like to try new foods or just want to eat a nice Korean dinner after eating Western food all day, but I felt like this was a waste of a meal that could have been spent eating local Hawaiian fare. And if you are not Korean, there is definitely no reason to come here because the food isn 't even good. While I am biased against most Korean restaurants because my mum is such a good cook, Korean restaurants in LA are far better than this. (Granted, that shouldn 't count since LA also has the highest population of Koreans in a city after Seoul. I found the stew to be just mediocre and thought the same of the side dishes. Not much to say about the rice. I really just ate because (1 it 's free (included in our tour cost and (2 I was hungry and I had no other options. The service was just okay. Our servers were fast in the beginning to bring out everything, but then we never saw them again except for when someone at our table would yell for service (where are the table button thingies I 'm so used to seeing at Korean places?! . I can 't comment on the cost since our tour guide took care of it, but I don 't think whatever the price was would be worth it for such mediocre Korean food. This review isn 't completely fair since I didn 't even get to see a menu and they might have better food offerings, but I guess we 'll never know..."
