Meh.could be better if staff didn't look depressed and was welcoming. Our cooker barely worked - kept running out of gas.its okay. Wouldn't go back though.

Restaurant gets very crowded during weekends and better to make a reservation if possible. Food is decent and the staff are always refilling the food and there is a good selection of both cooked and raw food for BBQ. The interior of the restaurant can get a bit smoky as there isn’t any form of extra ventilation to circulate the air inside. You’ll definitely bring the smell of the food when leaving the restaurant.

Food was nice but there wasn’t enough. Really slow to refill food when it ran out. Some food was not even there when we arrived and took 30mins to replenish which is terrible when you only have 90mins. When asked to replenish some other dishes, staff’s reply was “Do you want more? ” Really bad service compared to a lot of other places. Would not recommend at all.

TBH not gonna be your best KBBQ experience, but all you can eat at a fair price can still get you hooked. Couple downsides: sometimes food items are refilled very slowly, not sure if it’s on purpose; staff can get too busy so they might ignore you or be less friendly or patient; I personally really wish to grill without foil, but it’s not allowed; not sure if they take bookings, but often we had to wait to get a table. But still, one of my fav KBBQ joints in NZ.

My personal favourite kbbq all you can eat in Auckland. The price has continually increased over the years but still very worth your money!

The selection of meats had everything from pork, beef, chicken and some seafood. Not as many as some other Korean BBQ places but enough to have something for everyone. The staff was great and quick to refill any items that was running low. Only real complaint was that the place looked old and the walls seemed to glisten with the oils from all the cooking. Otherwise pretty good.

Absolutely the best buffet meal I've had. Huge selection and very affordable. Went to the one near the Sky Casino. Auckland. Thank you.

Went here with a couple friends. It was so dirty and didn't have any options to make your own dipping sauces and the lack of verity was very unfortunate and it was over priced. I can't say I'll be back.

Disappointing, they hurried us out after booking im advance. Table of 15 celebrating a birthday we had. Bad service.

Few weeks ago, went over with 3 friends and were turned away saying they were closed when they clearly weren’t & it was only 8pm and people were dining inside. Disappointed that there was no reason for this, and we couldn’t be bothered getting into it so we went to Mukbang Korean Bbq instead on 480 Queens Street.this place was a little smaller and more intimate, but they had free drinks and dessert which was fantastic! Totally recommend Mukbang Korean Bbq.

Come early as it will be crowded, lots of meat. However, personally I prefer the cooked food, including the fried chicken. Yummy!

It's an okay place, clean but feels messy, plates normally aren't dry, good for the sole purpose of food quantities, but then you are supposed to be good at BBQ.

There is no dessert and you have to pay extra for drinks. Also less sides to chose from compared to other buffet restaurant we visited, not worth the price I would say.

Good selection of meat dishes, however there is no dessert, a very limited assortment of vegetables and nothing fresh, with the noodles and fried rice being way too oily. Not worth coming back to.

Fresh meat. Tasty but limited side dishes. Need stronger flavour for marinated meat. Offered boiled cabbage instead of fresh lettuce which was disappointing.

I enjoy this place so much! It was great! This is a korean bbq buffet. Choose your own meat (pork, chicken, fish, squid), make your own sauces, lots of side dishes! Even green onion kimchi! Yummy yummy!
There are also some rolls, chicken drums in a dif sauces, and tteokbukki. You can eat all you want for $26 per person. Grill until whatever crispiness you want!
There are also instant coffee to drink and they have other drink for extra charge i think? I am not sure about that as I was not interested.
I have read previous comments that service is lucking but this is a buffet. You take what you need and as many times you need. The servers wont know whether you want more food or not. They had came to us when we asked to change the gas canister and it was no problem. They are attentive if you need anything.
I have seen that they had been looking over the table with ingredients and refilling when needed. So service was just fine!
I was very satisfied with my dinner! Will come back again!
