The best Korean BBQ I have had in town so far!! They have nice interior and really clean atmosphere! Didn't feel oily at all. Love their side dishes even wanna ask if I can buy some lol. Around 7-8 meat choices, more then 20+ side dishes and hot dishes choices, 5-6 dessert and sweets at the back. One of the definitely be back restaurants! Will be better to get a reservation beforehand.

A new Korean buffet restaurant in Albany. The restaurant has a very high ceiling which make the indoor BBQ not so smoky amd smelly. Good variety of food. May be more fruits and dessert will be even better.

It may be the best KBBQ we have had in Auckland so far. Amazing food and ambience with the more modern interior. Everything is tidy and clean. There was a good selection of cooked food and meat, desserts and drinks. The ventilation system also seemed the best out of many KBBQ places we have tried. We went in quite late so not too many people were there but the service was nice and staff were super attentive. We will come again!

My group was quite unhappy with our experience tonight. Various Dishes were altogether put in one plate which made the food uninviting to eat. We totally understand that guests can’t come to the buffet area due to social distancing measures but PLEASE next time put each dish own plate to make it look appetising. We felt like we were eating leftovers. Nevertheless the food were delicious and staff were really trying their best to attend to us.

One of the better Korean BBQ buffets in Auckland. The meat quality is quite good, same goes with the side dishes. I was surprised as there are some side dishes you wouldn't find at other BBQ places (spicy rice cake, soba, and even marinated crab). Only slight disappointment is the small dessert selection.It's pretty pricey but worth it for the quality. If you're familiar with Korean food, this restaurant should not disappoint.

Great meat quality. Limited variety of foods. $49 p.p. is not cheap but reflecting the quality.

Late review because we were there way back on Mother's Day, but it was a pretty good choice for the Korean BBQ and side dish varieties to give our 어머니 and family a decent selection without having to worry about the dishes and cleanup haha. Now, it wasn't the largest of buffet bars, which means it gets crowded quick and they can only out so much out, but asking for bbq meats at your table is where you'll probably get the bulk of it. The place overall felt a little more upscale than casual too which made it stand out a bit.

One of the best Korean BBQ buffets in Auckland if not in NZ. Should try this restaurant if you are interested in Korean food. $49 per person rate is not something everyone can afford I think.

randomly found this place the other night, thought just give it a go. In my opinion, korean BBQ is all linked with smoky and noisy dinning environment, everytime, you comr back with smelly clothes. But it is totally different at this place. the deco is much higher standard, clean, quiet, dish arrangement is comfortable, not crowded, nice ambient lightings. There are way more choices of side dishes than most korean bbq places.The flavours are more gentel than the regulars, which I found more acceptable for locals. Meat selection is a bit small, but the meat is fresh, not much sea food, but it was ok for me. A good range of snacks and desserts too. By the way, very clean toilets, which is a great indicator of how clean their kitchen would be like. It shows the owner is very focused the cleaness at very detailed level, huge bonus.The owner is very friendly. He told us the restaurant has been years, which is surprising, it is a bit pity, its location is not in a dinning complex with more public exposure. Honestly, I believe it deserves higher popularity.loved the place, price is reasonable, food is nice, clean and quiet place for gathering eith friends and family. Highly recommended to try it out if you like korean food.
