Came here with my wife for a night without the kids. A nice experience with good quality meat and seafood. You definitely need to pay attention while eating here as a bit too much chatter can cause over cooking.

Absolutely delicious Korean BBQ! There was a fantastic range of quality meat and unlimited sides of bean shoots, seaweed, kimchi and fried tofu. Great value restaurant that doesn’t look like anything fancy, but well worth a visit.

We had a great night , the whole cooking in front of us was a new experience for us.
The meat was cooked perfectly with a bit of help from the staff, good location easy to park, well worth a visit a good social fun night.

This was my first Korean barbecue experience, I'm obviously well late to the game. I liked it, Not take me home on the first date but solid enough. The accompaniments were tasty especially the kimchi. The marinated beef was the tastiest of all the meats and the all you can drink cans of beer is a must if you can fit as many as you can in an hour and a half! Good deal though.

My friends and I love coming here for the all you can say buffet Korean BBQ! It's the best and they come with dessert either ice cream or fresh fruits. Sometimes it does get quite busy and you might have to wait for a table, especially if you're a group of 4. Highly recommend this place if you're hungry and love Korean BBQ! And it's value for money!

Good value if you can eat a lot. $35 for all you can eat Korean BBQ and it's not too bad. The place can be busy and you might need to wait for a while to get served tho. I think there's a 90 mins limit but when I went there, I don't think they count it for us. This place is a bit different from other Korean bbq as most of the time, the waiter won't BBQ for you, you gotta do it yourself however I prefer doing it on my own. The meat was ok, nothing special but pork belly is my favourite. The ice cream at the end was amazing, Rick flavour.

There are 2 all-you-can-eat options: the Standard Buffet ($31.90) and the Gourmet Buffet ($35.50). For a few dollars more the Gourmet Buffet offered a greater selection of meats, soups and dessert, so we ended up opting for this. We initially wanted to try all the different meats however this turned out to be impossible as there was simply too much food! The meats that we did manage to try included the LA Beef Ribs, Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef, Diced Beef, Non Spicy Chicken, Pork Belly, and Spicy Pork. The only meat that did not take our fancy was the Diced Beef as it was super tough and extremely difficult to chew. The staff were friendly however unlike some other Korean BBQ places, they don’t help out with any of the barbequing (which was fine with us). In any case, the all-you-can-eat options here are perfect for all you carnivores out there.

feeling hungry and craving for something haven't had for awhile we ventured back into Carnegie to hunt for some decent Korean BBQ. Decided on this venue based on reviews. Got there early during opening.. we ordered the deluxe buffet with all u can eat meat! Great deal at $33 each. U also get one of either bibimbap / seafood bibimbap / some varieties of spicy soup and ice cream as desert. 90 min to finish. We went all out. The waitress kept in bringing us what we ordered which was reaally ... I gave her assurance we would finish! Which we did.

All the meats were reaally good. Exceptionally liked the ribs very tasty. 2nd would be the of tongue then marinated beef, spicy octopus...

This one is probably only good for the meat eaters. The veggies given at the start were minimal. Also the sides could be better.. not much variety but I have to say the kimchi was pretty good.

One of my work mate has never tried korean BBQ and we decided to all take him (road trip…not really!). Miss Mousey chose the place and it was all the way in Carnegie - Korean BBQ. She made a booking and in we went. Since it was a Friday night, we all decided to be naughty and get the rice wine to share and the cups were itty bitty saucepans (how cutie patootie!). 
We got the gourmet banquet which was $33.50 per person AND it was all you can eat MEAT! MEAT GALORE! As we patiently wait for our dishes to come out, the sides came out first. Now, these are refillable so once they’re low, get some more yo!

All you can eat Korean BBQ? Hell yes! You definitely need to be a meat eater to eat here. It's all you can eat meat / seafood...not vegetables. They only give you veggies at the beginning that consists of onion, sweet potato and some lettuce and that's all you get, just one serve. You'd think it would be cheaper for them to give you extra veggies to fill you up on, but I guess not. Still an enjoyable dinner experience that leaves you full and satisfied. Although, one thing to note that I wasn't a big fan of, is the loud music. They've started pumping up pretty loud K Pop, so keep that in mind.

Pricing at $33.50 for a gourmet buffet, this restaurant offers entree dishes, a choice of bibimbap or soup and a dessert as well as a great selection of All-You-Can eat meats. For those who often eat at Korean BBQ restaurants, you may know the frustration of not being able to catch a waiter's attention in order to ask for more slices of meat. At this restaurant, the waiters are very attentive and we were tended to whenever I required service. The beef bibimbap I ordered was a great add-on to the grilled meats I was having. The green tea ice-cream as dessert at the end simply tops the entire experience off. A much needed refresher after a big meal.

I will definitely come here more often as my first choice for Korean BBQ.

This place was nice to eat in on a Sunday night. It wasnt busy so i cant really give an accurate rating for service. Staff were nice despite my drunk friend being extremely loud. Beers and food were reasonably priced. Their spicy octopus was on point!

The best bbq in town. In my experience the meat has always been fresh and the restaurant always gives unlimited amount of lettuce for free. I'm happy paying $30 for just the meat alone, rice is a plus although personally I don't really think it is excellent. Still my favourite korean bbq restaurant.

Not sure why the rating is so low for this place.. its like $30 for all you can eat plus dessert and a rice dish. The All you can eat includes Chicken,beef,pork and squid but has alot of different beef dishes. Staff are friendly and place is small but besides that its awesome value and tasty too.. Definatley recommend this place :)

It was GREAT!. My boyfriend, 2 friends and I ordered the buffet.
I get confused when I read reviews of people saying they left still feeling hungry (I don't understand why) because this place IS an ALL YOU CAN EAT. They just bring out the meats in small portions at a time which I believe is to minimize wastage. You can keep asking them for more meat if you are not full. The girl we had cooking for us even asked us if we wanted more. We asked for two more servings after our initial first round but only got through one and stopped her from cooking the second serving because we were just SO FULL! The side dishes too were unlimited. We kept asking for kimchi again and again and again, and they were happy to bring it out/top it up. The desserts, even though there aren't many varieties (oranges and 3 different types of ice cream) is all you can eat, so you can try ALL of them. We had 3 rounds of desserts to try everything! It was my first time at this place (but not first time doing korean bbq) and I totally enjoyed it. 2 friends (who have never had korean bbq) really enjoyed it so much they'll come back again. Staff were friendly and helpful cooking our food and for the price (all you can eat), it is VERY worth it!

Great food and service. I love this place and have been coming to this establishment for years. I usually order the buffet and the drinks special which entitles you to all you can drink booze for an hour. Friendly service and I love the entrees and side dishes too. Bulgogi and pork belly are my favorite dishes and now with fried chicken on the menu, this is too good to be true! As a long time patron, I can't recommend this place enough. I've been to all 3 Box Hill, city and Carnegie and always leave satisfied and bloated after a fantastic meal. Thanks to the Shin family. Gamsahamnida. Regards, Yuto.

Lovely food cooked right in front of you. Extremely helpful and friendly staff who make the experience easier and more enjoyable. The marinated meats included all you can eat(33.90$) had so much flavour. Having the food cooked on your table is a nice change and as an added bonus you leave smelling of delicious meats.

Been there once with my sister last week and im definitely going back next time with bunch of my friends (guess the place is a bit small for large number of people) anyways i had the bbq buffet that costed $33.50 per head and there were various types of bbq we could choose from plus the main dish and the soup. I believe there were more than ten different types of bbq including fresh and marinated (spicy/ mild). The service was great as well as the food compared to the price
Ps. One of the staff there with orange hair is very helpful and hospitalised

Have been here soooo many times! Great food, great service! Amazing Green Tea ice cream! :D ~ for those who thinks that $33 pp for an all you can eat Korean BBQ buffet is expensive - it is no where near expensive unless your on a budget! Compared to other Korean restaurants where if you were to go for the BBQ option, you'll have to pay well over $10 a plate per meat dish! Calculate that! :P mind you, I travel from Adelaide to come and dine at either the Carnegie or Box Hill Outlet only because Adelaide can't compare. So this restaurant is amazingly amazing!! :D 5 stars!!! And don't judge unless you've been there! Don't have a reaction to bad reviews, that was just their experience & opinion! But I honestly think for those who would or have always wanted to try here - go for it! :)

Not bad. Dined on a voucher. Dumplings were good and probs the highlight of the meal. The BBQ set up is cool, we had spicy pork, chicken, beef ribs and octopus. Beef ribs were the highlight, the lowlight was the octopus but I'm sure we over cooked it. Veges were pretty plain and consisted of a slice of onion. Sweet potato, pumpkin and mushrooms.
Desert was black sesame ice cream which was alright too.
I'm not the biggest fan of Korean food, but this place was alright, would have loved to tried the pork belly! It's a bit of a so so vote but I probs would return for something different.

Never miss this when we drive to Melbourne from Adelaide. Use to go here when Back since 2011 still very good quality and amazing staff. Don’t forget to add extra octopus. Mouth watering. I am a fan of Korean BBQ and have tried many places. This joint doesn’t top any other.

As far as DIY bbq buffets go, Korean BBQ is up there with plentiful. Gourmet BBQ has a huge selection of meats and even octopus that you can cook to tender perfection in front of you. Marinade flavours are tasty and all the usual Korean suspects are there. The bibimbap bowl is delicious and definitely not your average rice on the side. Tofu and seafood soup is light and the tofu melts in your mouth. A small serve of dumplings also went down very well. The grill plate is quite unique, in that it does not smoke a heap. So unlike other KoBBQ places where you have to yell over the sound of your table's exhaust fan, you actually get to chat whilst you're grilling. Staff are super friendly and kept trying to get me onto round two of meats. Believe me the first lot of meat that is brought out is/was plenty. You even get a scoop of ice cream to sweeten your pallette after the meal - if you still have room.

A friend and I visited early last week and ordered the buffet. It is really good value for money with high quality ingredients served. Our server, Yuna, was really friendly, hospitable and helpful when it came to making recommendations and cooking the food on the hot plate. She deserves a raise! Thanks Yuna and team!
