Good dinner experience. Fair price and good food.
Some cooked food was available and you can cook your own meat on your table.
Highly recommended. Good night out for family.

Love the food and service in this place! My partner and I always go here whenever we crave KBBQ. Most worth it buffet in the city. Got to chat with Josh too one of the hosts and he was super nice

Good options of food for the BBQ, I literally spent one hour eating hahaha. Only thing on Sundays the prices are higher and they have 10% surcharge because it was Sunday. Overall, a good place to Go!

This is the rudest and worst restaurant I have ever been to. The Korean people running this restaurant are extremely and incredibly rude to customers. They try to rudely drive customers away ahead of time, so that they can get more new customers within a short period of time. The food quality is not good, not fresh, and very limited choice. The air quality in this restaurant is so bad that it's almost difficult to breathe normally. They obviously try to save money by not installing the right kind of ventilation.

The Korean woman in this restaurant has a very bad attitude towards customers. It is simply unreasonable to kick guests away in advance in order to turn over more tables! Extremely bad attitude! I feel like a female gangster from the underworld! If the food and meat are not fresh, you will have stomach discomfort or even diarrhea after returning home after eating. There is no ventilation equipment installed in the store, and the air quality is literally choking your throat. I can only say that it is cheap but not good! I will definitely not go there a second time in the future! Avoid the rude and disrespectful Koreans!

What a waste of time. You better know how Korean BBQ works cause there's no help & the food, some of which is missing, is low quality.

A must go when you want to eat Korean food in Melbourne!
I visited this restaurant because I wanted to eat Korean food after traveling to Melbourne with my mom and older brother. The waiter was very kind and the taste was really good. I ate to my heart's content.

It's a nice place for uni students and quite a range of foods. Though it was lack of variety when I was there

This place was disappointing. Compared to any K bbq place this is the worst. Sure it's cheap and I know why. I truly believe they have hot food left over from their lunch time because of how dry.

We were seated at a table for two with a gas stove you cannot fit even 3 plates on the table I was forced to hold my plate otherwise its half off table.

The meat selection is good. You bbq on a hot plate with paper. The paper burns quick in the middle. The meat only cooks in middle and uneven on outside plate. They also leave on low flame that meat is so slow to cook.

The japchae and fried rice was terrible. The noodle was so hard and dry. I informed the guy and girl chatting at the till counter asking where I could throw it out. I told them it was dry and really bad and they didn't say anything or go check. I then tried fried rice and it too was dry and hard. There wasn't much and I concluded it was left overs from lunch time because it definitely was not fresh for dinner time patrons, considering there were only 8 people in whole place including us.
I only enjoyed the tteokbokki and didn't dare try the fried chicken.
I was surprised that they had no lettuce to wrap meat in but salad lettuce. I just ate the meat which was a good selection. Anytime our paper was burning someone would come swap out.

I wouldn't recommend here or come back. There are way better places for all you can eat with great food, hot food options, better dessert, meat quality, table space, vegetable options like bbq king, meating or ssam.

Value for money! Nice food. The place is not so spacious but we never felt that limitation, we have enjoyed our lunch. Staff (even though he is alone) was friendly and efficient. Accessibility to the main street is a plus.

Update. Its more cheaper to ear during lunch time around 25ish than dinner 30+ish. I think they already increased the price post pandemic. I also notice that during the 1.5 hours window, the precooked foods are seldom replenished. Examples are the noodles, the soy garlic chicken etc making this as not best option anymore for a midrange korean barbeque option (downside the 1.5 hrs time window). The only advantage it has is the accessibility in main Lonsdale st

Update:

After pandemic, we dined again here during Sat busy night. I have to downgrade the food from 4 to 3 stat due to the fact that the precooked food is not being replenished on time. The price tag of $39 per 1.5 hrs to me is too much.

As a background, there are two categories of food being served here - precooked and need-to-be-cooked. Last time, there were plenty of choices for precooked foods like korean fried chicken, noodles fried rice stir fries etc, now there heaps of empty trays and the reolenshments were too slow in span of 30 to 45 mins, i only observed once restockinh of prexooked for two types of dish. I think around 3 out of 6 trays empty.

Food was ok for an all-you-can-eat, but the camping stoves should not be used indoors and felt unsafe the whole time.
The food also lacked vegetarian options, unlike most other kBBQ venues in Melbourne.

The most god tier bbw place I have seen. There is Infinite meat during happy hour for the price of 33 DOLLARS. Broo that's crazy. AND YOU GET UNLIMITED SIDES TOO. 10/10 this is the place I rizz chicks up at from now on.

I went with me and my partner as we saw that it had pretty good reviews online. Quality of the food was not it. I really don’t understand why people line up for this. The meat was all rubbery and not good, the only meats that were actually okay quality didn’t have flavour which is why we had to add our own sauce. But honestly at that point i could just buy my own meat and premade sauce. Even the grill was a portable one, which did not help it’s case, with even a little cup in the side for all the excess grease and all to fall into which did not help either. It was smokey, and i left the place smelling horrible, had to wash my hair immediately when i got home. Do not recommend unless you desperately want meat.

Went there for Friday lunch 1hr buffet with 22.9aud pp. Was amazed with food quality at this price. Staff also v polite. I hope they have better ventilation as the smell is very strong on your clothes after getting out. Guess this would be one of reasons why place not busy Friday lunch as office people couldn't come easily during lunch with big smell back in afternoon. By the way, can't blame for this price.

An all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant where you really get what you pay for. Meat quality is mediocre and selection is limited. But still very tasty. As expected for the price.

It's a cheaper All You Can Eat Korean BBQ in Melbourne and there were not many dishes to choose from compared to others but you can still eat till you drop. It's super hot inside so it's not pleasant.

I had my nye dinner here and the reason of choosing this place is that I want to have a quick, casual, and filling dinner.

As expected, there are various of beef, chicken, and pork selection. There is also other cooked dishes such as bulgogi, and marinated spicy pork. There are lots of sauce selection, and different from other place, there is a nong shim/ ramyeon cup noodle.

Great K bbq place I've been here twice so far during the lunch service what more can you ask for from K bbq value for money and good selection to choose from. Should be on everyone list for cheap eats in Melbourne.

The food was delicious. But they never filled up the foods. Always empty
And the exhaust is really bad. My clothes and hair was smell like smoke.
And no Aircon. So hot inside

This is our go-to all the time when me and my friends want to catch up. The variety of the food seems to be decrease after Covid, but we still love it
