Ok...maybe I'm weird or something, but I love the whole cooking your own food experience with this circular grill in front of you..so good.
This place may be a bit hard to find. It has a business right in front of it which kinda makes this a "diamond in the ruff." This is primarily a KOREAN BBQ restaurant. The set up is its either menu or buffet. Personally, i choose the buffet. There are cooked items as well as raw items to choose from...I like it raw! You have various meats to choose from. Now this circular skillet in front of you is how you cook these delectable delights. You also have a few sauces to give you that taste of sweet and spicy.
Warning: when you go this place, don't wear your Sunday best outfit unless you want it to smell what you just cooked and ate.
There are some really tasty drinks that they concocked dealing with Lichee.
Give this place a try, I highly recommend based on the experience and food....Listed in: Top Restaurants

Been to this place about 4 times cause its close by compared to the other restaurant, recently went here with a group a friends because we were indecisive on what we wanted to eat. This place is a unique restaurant because you dont order your food to be cooked for you, you just go to the buffet table pick up your own food and bring it to your table and cook it yourself. They give a large variety of foods from beef, chicken pork, lam, and seafood items like squid clams oysters. All the meat items are raw, hence why you bring it to your table and cook it with the pot of soup and grill that they give you. They also provide hot foods that are already cooked, but i wasnt interested by that stuff cause getting your moneys worth is taking the raw food and cooking it.
So at our table to all individually cooked our foods, taking almost a sample of everything from the buffet. We made our own noodles with our own meats and veggies, and throwing all the meats in the grill. I love coming to this place when i feel like eating a lot of food. -

If your craving for Korean food, this is the best place to go to, their Korean BBQ Buffet is a little bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it!! & it includes beverages, my husband loved their Kimchi!! so he ordered extra to take home! Very friendly crew. If your planning to go on weekends, you must come early, it's definitely full house!!

This is the first Korean restaurant I tried here when I came back from Vancouver (where there is an abundance of Korean BBQ's). They have a closet where you can hang up your jacket, because you should -- the smell of the BBQ will hang on you for awhile afterwards. And as already mentioned in another review, don't wear your favourite clothes, unless you want them smelling like Korean BBQ.
It's about $25 for all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. The tables have their own grills, and the staff will get it set up for you. You order what you want to eat from the menu, they bring it to you raw, and you cook it on the grill. It's similar to Chinese hot pot, if you'd had that before. If the sight of raw food makes you queasy, even if it's going to be cooked, you might just want to stick with ordering from the menu instead of the BBQ option.
I am crazy for the BBQ beef, it's something I always have to order when I eat Korean. We ordered the beef and chicken, and both were delicious and tender. They brought out rice and appetizers for us, which included kimchi and a traditional parsnip dish. My friend loves seafood pancake, but they didn't have it on the menu. They still were able to cook up something similar for her though, which was nice of them.
Both my friends said the food there was alright, but I loved it, I thought it was great. Then again, I was also starving when we went, maybe that made me biased. I'd come here again, although I'll probably need to go with someone else! -

This is the best place to eat Korean food. It's been open since I was a little kid, and it's still just the same! The waiter is always friendly and has a smile on her face.

This is the best Korean restaurant in Edmonton, and I am Korean. The serving, price, taste is all good. The marination isn't the best, but the meat is very tender. Get beef over pork, 'cause the pork isn't the best. I'd get the buffet cuz it's cheaper, but don't get too much because it isn't all-you-can-eat!

This is the best Korean restaurant in town, hands down. I do how ever suggest not heading out to impress afterwards because you will smell like delicious BBQ smoke. Make sure and try the short ribs and bebimbap (probably not how u spell it) it's a hot stone bowl with rice and veggies.
