All you can eat is great option for meat lover at the most reasonable price. It starts with the order that includes various meat, other dishes, and side dishes. And then you can refill by making additional order twice more. For me, one more refill was good enough as the portion is really good. Side dishes are awesome. All servers were highly proglfessinal. We have waited about 1 hour on Saturday night. If they have more bench for waiting people, it would be perfect.

Extremely disappointing experience. Our child specifically asked about the price before ordering, yet the final bill was significantly higher than what was communicated. This points to either poor staff training or seriously misleading communication.

When they ( kids 13 y o) approached management to explain the situation and requested a reasonable adjustment, they refused to take responsibility or offer any solution. No accountability and no effort to resolve the issue.

In Canada, clear communication with customers is essential. Staff in customer-facing roles must be able to communicate pricing clearly and confidently in English to avoid misunderstandings like this. Unfortunately, this restaurant failed on both service and professionalism.

Would not recommend!!!!!

We used to visit this restaurant occasionally and had decent experiences before. This was our first time coming back after they switched to a buffet style, and it was truly eye-opening — in the worst way possible.

We did not choose the all-you-can-eat option and ordered à la carte instead. The BBQ combo clearly included seafood soup, yet we were served beef soup without even a basic confirmation. We ordered grilled pork intestines, but what arrived looked like beef intestines. Accuracy apparently isn’t a priority here.

The portion size was the biggest surprise. The first photo shows what we received on a previous visit. The second photo shows what we got today. The difference is almost impressive — if shrinking portions were a talent. Prices stayed the same, but the food certainly didn’t. It felt less like dining and more like rationing.

After waiting an hour, we were finally seated at a table that had been empty since the moment we walked in. Watching it sit there unused while we waited was, frankly, the most efficient part of the evening.

The highlight of the meal was the Asahi beer — which, thankfully, they didn’t have to prepare.

We’re only giving one star because the system doesn’t allow zero. If negative stars were an option, this experience would have earned them.

The meat quality was good. I haven't had AYCE with this good quality of meat. But unfortunately the vegetables require extra $$ to get. We had to try a couple times to get the servers' attention.

Ordered the ayce with 6 people and while we wanted to order 10 of each meat the server was reluctant and said we couldn't finish so bought it down to 3. We went through 2 rounds of ordering and same thing happened. On the 3 time ordering. The server said we surpassed the 1.5 hours of ordering and couldn't order anymore. Left still feeling hungry and unsatisfied for ayce. Quality of meat was mediocre. Not going back ever.

Sorry never had a chance to get pictures. This was Awesome in every way, All the many foods and multiple little dishes, BANCHAN s which were replenished promptly a few times. I particularly liked the 2 dried squids. And the quail eggs. Everything was so good and comforting. And the lunch deal is a steal. Thanks so much.

First time here. Came in around 2pm on Sunday and was empty. Came by before around 6pm and it was a 2 hours wait (I didn't wait of course)

- Enjoyed the All You Can Eat (AYCE) Lunch
- Very easy to order and food came out quickly
- Side dishes tasted pretty good! *Except I don't get the corn thing*
- Cuts of the meat were pretty good
- Service was good
- The rice was not good (surprisingly) also fried rice was more like baked rice
- Overall a good experience and a bang for your buck

The staff walked past us seven times and ignored us, even though we were clearly waiting at the entrance. There were more than two empty tables available, yet no one approached or acknowledged us. It really made us question whether customers are actually welcome here. 😃

My friends and I decided to try this place as a last minute dinner plan. Parking wasn’t the greatest but was manageable across the street, the staff members were very friendly and helpful. We went with the beef AYCE, the food was good especially the beef and pork with good variety of sides. Our grill pan was often changed to a new one which was a bonus. Just wish desserts were included like most korean bbq I’ve been too. Other than that returning is a possibility.

I never come back.

I really want to like this place since there aren't many AYCE Korean BBQ restaurants that offer different cuts of meat in the Lower Mainland. While waiting in line, I saw how hardworking 2 out of the 3 servers were, trying their best to carry the full house (it's hard when your clueless and sloppy co-worker just strolls and floats around), while still delivering it with excellent customer service. The reviews and features by influencers just made this place look so promising but I'm sorely disappointed.

I appreciate the generous sides and the availability of mains as part of the AYCE menu. However, the quality and flavour of most items and especially the meat absolutely missed the mark. I'm a fan of Korean BBQ and am pretty sure it wasn't my grilling method or skills. Speaking of grilling, I am also not quite sure if cooking loads of fatty cuts in a small pan is a good idea. The oil and marinade just get too much at one point and it makes it really greasy. It doesn't help that lettuce is chargeable so it's harder to find ways to cut off the grease. I get that operating costs are high, but being charged for lettuce does leave a bad taste. And sure, we can get the pan changed, but that's if you are even able to catch the very busy servers who are running around at maximum speed. Oh, except for one of them.
