I moved to Calgary after the graduation, but I come back to eat at this restaurant frequently. Always be my first choice.

Dinner is $39 for all you can eat including the drinks already. The best thing we like in this place is you just go and get all the items you want in the buffet table then grill it yourself, no need for ordering again and again for items you like compare to other all you can eat places where you still have to call the waiters and fill up papers you wanna order, which is sometimes awkward. Servers are very accommodating and very attentive when to replace our griller. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lots of meats to choose from. There were chicken, lamb, beef, pork and seafood. Veggies too. The server was very attentive of when to replace our grill. I just did not enjoy their side dish. It was just pickled radish, kimchi, beansprouts (that were too peppery for me), soups and rice. Or was it because I was craving for fishcakes and there was none. Lol. Tho I loved how you can get unlimited sodas too. Overall, it just wasn't for me but if you eat lots of meat then you'll probably enjoy this place!

This is my favourite style of restaurant. Our server was amazing and throughly explained their buffet process as it was our first time at this location. The options were plenty full and constantly restocked, everything was super fresh and just overall a wonderful dinner with my husband. We will 100% be back !
Vegetarian options: There was plenty of vegetable Choices and rice and salads as well
Parking: Easy strip mall style parking

We did have friends birthday celebration and it was awesome. Good food and great service. For the amount of money you spend just good enough for the food and service you get. Visit this place if you happen to be in Edmonton.

I did not like the food sadly, I saw a lot of good reviews about that place but the taste of the protain was too simple not well season, the service was kind but they never offer an explation neither told us how much per person. The whole place smell like smoke and I will never recomend this place to eat korean bbq.

Delicious all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ for a reasonable price. I was happy to see that they serve lamb; not many places do.

Delicious, and plenty of good options for grilling. Such a fun experience to be able to cook on a hot plate/grill. Great price for good value and the service was fantastic!!!

We randomly picked this AYCE restaurant for dinner on our last night in Edmonton and had to say this is probably the best AYCE in town! My little one wanted to give 6 stars as he was very impressed with how frequently the grill plates were changed and the yummy meat that he cannot stop eating.

First time eating here and will be the last. Not worth the price for $39.99 (per adult). U can have better buffet food experience for the same price (or a little bit cheaper) from other buffet restaurant.

Calm and quiet, they had the hockey game on. I usually get my grilled meat fix at gyukaku or baekjong and I'm so so happy I found this AYCE place near the H&W produce.
If you have mobility issues be aware the floor is a little uneven in some spots, once we noticed it was no issue at all to navigate, but my partner caught his cane on the floor a couple times.
The lettuce and onion were fresh and crispy, and I loooooved the pork belly and beef options. Lamb, chicken, and seafood was also available. The marinated meats were mildly spicy, but I have a low spice tolerance, so some might wish for more. Since it was just my partner and I, we each got our own grill since even the small tables have two.
All the food is self serve buffet style, including the drinks and the seasonings. I appreciated the thin sliced fresh garlic, we knew it was fresh since it was still a little spicy.
The service was impeccable, professional, kind, and quick. Our grills were changed and plates cleared often. No pressure to rush, we sat and chatted for awhile after our food was finished and it was lovely. Just remember to pay at the front, you don't need to wait for a bill or anything.
