Meat are thin, tender & flavoured.Service is quite slow coz waitress/waiter don't come back to check if we need more food to cook.We had to go to the counter to request for more food & drinks.

It was a little expensive for a DIY Dinner. But it was overall a good experience. And the "prepared foods" on the "buffet" were good. It was fun for a novel experience, made better by the people I was there with.I found the staff to be... Well, let's not gild the lily here... They're not super friendly or outgoing.Were I an owner, or manager, I'd probably be a little "peeved". Some of the minor issues I had with the staff.I had to ask staff for water a few times, which is a rarity for me anywhere else. In most places, once your drink is empty, someone will usually come ask if you want a refill, this did not happen, and it was not busy the night we were there, there was only one other active table on the hibachi side.No one on the staff explained how it worked, or gave us any inkling about where to start, we had a paper with a list of meats shoved in front of us, with a pencil, and kinda had to "figure it out ourselves". To the point I was unsure if any of the staff even HAD vocal cords. No explanation of the sauce selections, veggie selections, or even the prepared food buffet. I had to rely on the other diners at our table who had actually been there before.Staff, sullenly congregated at the bar in a clump of 3 or 4, and stared at the 2 active tables. It was kinda creepy. There was much murmuring among them, but no one seemed to outwardly be discussing the customers, but... Bad optics. Again, as someone who has worked in food service, I'd be pissed as an owner or manager.The 15% tip was "included" in the final bill. Which probably cost the staff about 5-10% MORE, because I was NOT happy that they already decided I was giving 15%. Usually I start my tip amount at 25%, and reduce the amount for things that are absolutely under the control of the workers. And, to be honest, I probably wouldn't have penalized them at all as it was my first time in, and I didn't know if this was "normal" for the staff of this restaurant.All in all... It was a good dinner. Love the atmosphere, and wasn't even unhappy with the service, just taken aback how "hands off" the staff were.100% WOULD recommend. Just don't expect "high end" customer service.

Decided to eat here as I've wanted to for years. We went close to closing and well not sure if it would have made a difference. The meat was rough. We did the BBQ and let's just say the fish did not taste well mixed with the meat. Dishes sat at the edges the entire time we were eating and waiting until we got more food. We were continually asked if we wanted anything before closing but kept saying no. No music. Very dull boring place with by par food.

We found ourselves in St Catherine's on a frigid Sunday night and were looking for Vietnamese food. Came across this place after a google search.Really enjoyed it. Nice prompt service, tasty meats that we cooked on the grill and all the sides we could want.I would go back.

Great menu selection for BBQ!Food: 8/10 - there are options for Beef, pork, chicken and seafood. I like the vatiety of vegetables options as well. They have the self serve counter and you can get peppers, green chilli, cabbage, asparagus, etc.Beverage: 10/10 - the beer on the tap was good (I didn’t remember the name). The price is only $6 for a 16 oz glass.Service: 9/10 - the server was friendly. However we had to ask twice for changing the grills. If would be nicer if they can come to our table more often and check on us.Price: 10/10 - we came for lunch and spent around $90 for 2 people (after tax and tips) including all you can eat bbq and drinks. It’s not bad!Parking: Free parking lot!

went here with my dad on a saturday night because the other korean bbq was too busy and was rather disappointed. the service was almost nonexistent, trays pilling up, out of water for the entire time until when the bill was asked for. the self serve food area was horribly understocked, empty, and the veggies that were there looked very dried and old. employees on phones when there was clearly a lot of work to be done. the only nice thing was the atmosphere and the food, but even then it wasn’t excellence enough to disregard everything.

Our 2nd time visiting here but first for the BBQ. We were immediately treated by two employees. One sat us at the table while the other took our orders. This was essentially the last time we spoke to anyone. The service was very lacking. Empty plates were staking up at all the tables. Getting anyone to refill a drink was impossible.

Date night dinner Nov 11/23.Service was terrible, impossible to get a drink refill. A large amount of items were not filled at the food area. Vegetables were dried out. *tables were stacked with empty meat trays, some customers were stacking dirty dishes on empty chairs.Selection of food was very disappointing.$100 dinner was not worth the money.Vegetarian options, disappointing.

Understaffed, but the staff was very well trained and efficient. The food was much higher quality than expected. I think they need 1-2 more staffs to handle a lot of
