If your craving copious amounts of deliciously grilled meats this place is right for you! My boyfriend and I decided to save out appetites for this yummy dinner and it did not disappoint. It's a true all you can eat place, but there are meat and app selection choices, the premium choice allows you to pick from both selections. The meats are mostly pork and beef but they do have some seafood options. Their vegetables opare limited though. The restaurant can get filled up fast during peak dinner time, I recommend show up early. They only allow reservations for parties of 6 or more. You can have the staff grill for you or choose to do it yourself, which might be faster if the restaurant is busy. The food was definitely worth the price especially since it's all you can eat.

Incredible experience! I highly recommend the brisket. We had a blast here with the crew. So many options to choose from and it's in your best interest to go with the higher price point to have the option of anything on the menu.I can't wait until my next visit!!!

Terrible service. Owner is rude, dishonest and disrespectful

One of my favorite restaurants! More choices of Soju than any store. Here at Lekker, they have good sized portions and nicer quality meats than Other All You Can Eat places that give large portions of cheaper cuts of beef then charge for leftover.

Always call before you go. If it is full then you have to wait more than 1 hour. After you get seated you have to wait additional 10 min or more to order your food. It is all you can eat but you only have 2 hours to eat with 1.5 hours to order lol. In addition, you have to finish your food that you ordered first and then you can order for next round. They are understaffed, you will have to WAIT. if they forgot some items of your order then just forget it by the time you finish eating you just want to leave. The food is okay. But it does not worth the price youee spending.

Overall the quality of the food was pretty good. I ordered NY strip steak, BBQ steak, shrimp octopus and they all tasted pretty amazing. I'll definitely have to give a go at the other options for my next visit.With that said I didn't feel as if there were as many seafood and vegtable options but it may very well be because it's winter. I was hoping to get some mushrooms and maybe different types of fish but what was available was good nonetheless.Their beverage options were vast for sure as well! All kinds of Soju and Sake, I personally don't drink anything either alcohol in it but I'm sure those who do will find their options to be wide.Staff is really sweet and attentive so that was a plus as well.One thing to note for sure is the smoke/steam. Since there's no ventilation there's a constant cloud of smoke in the air, you get used to the smell quickly but it can be kinda surprising when you go in for the first time.
Great food, had a lot of meat options there for all you can eat. It definitely worth it! However my only suggestion is this place need a exhaust fan, it is so smoky inside, feel sorry to whoever works there because it is very unhealthy conditions.

Wonderful experience, good quality food, neat atmosphere! Lekker was a great spot to enjoy some Korean BBQ that is not pretentious, fussy, or difficult to understand how to do it.From a menu that has a wide variety of different types of meat, sides, and vegetables, there is something for everyone. Though the price was $32, it was totally worth it. Our favorites were the cumin curry chicken, spicy bulgolgi pork, and the fired dumplings.There wasn’t a wait when we got there at 5 and it wasn’t too busy while we were there. There were 3 people (2 wait staff, 1 hostess) running the front, but we got everything we ordered and asked for quickly. Everyone was attentive and super helpful. When we left, it was a little bit busier, but still not as packed as I initially thought it’d be. There was a 2 hour seating limit, but there was lenience in this since it wasn’t too busy.The next time I am in Providence, I’ll definitely look to come back here.

After reading some recent horrible reviews, we still decided to give it a try. We came for Saturday dinner but it was not crowded. Get a table for 5 in 10 minutes. There was only one waiter taking care of food orders but he was attentive and fast. The waitress taking care of drinks was really nice and explained to us how to order when she knew this was our first time at the restaurant (not actually our first time at a KBBQ though, but still a big thank you). We chose Option A (cheaper, ~$32). The food is not excellent, but good. We liked beef brisket and curry chicken. Pork bulgogi was too sweet in our opinion.

Lekker was a unique experience, for which we paid a premium. The concept is really cool, like a self-hibachi. The menu consists of a variety of proteins, veg, and starches which you order and then cook on your built-in table grill. Since this was our first time, the server was happy to cook it for us/teach us how to cook the food.The sauces were delicious. The proteins were lightly marinated/seasoned (until we ordered the spicy beef bulgogi which was very flavorful), so the sauces were necessary for the most part.The pricing works as follows (not including drinks): The basic menu runs about $35/person including tax (they have a $40/person menu with premium proteins). You have 90 minutes for all-you-can-eat and they charge an additional $15 if you leave food behind, so don't over-order! If we go again, we'll load up on proteins (skip the white rice), start with spicy/flavored meats and allow the plainer stuff (teriyaki chicken, beef brisket) to cook in the leftover sauce from the previous proteins. If you really want to pack it in, order aggressively to avoid the lag time between 'cooks'.Overall, we paid more than we normally would have to eat out, but we were paying in part for the experience. I debated between 4 and 5 stars as this was Federal Hill and the price was a bit higher than I would have expected. Their website is missing the menu, and the pricing on their site is lower than the actual walking in the door. The teriyaki chicken didn't really taste like anything other than chicken. For these reasons, I'm going with 4 stars, but I would definitely go again, and bring someone new to share the experience.

What an amazing experience! First time trying Korean BBQ and my partner and I are blown away… Nicole helped us decide what to order, and showed us how to put the different meats and sides together to make a beautiful meal. Definitely coming back soon!!!
