Meat, meat all you can eat! Hwa Ro is a DIY Korean BBQ/hot pot buffet. It cost us $35 a head and each table is equipped with a hotplate and a gas burner for your hot pot/steam boat soup.
The buffet itself consisted of cold food station with sushi, hot buffet selection included fried chicken wings, sweet and sour pork, spicy pork belly, beef bulgoggi, stir fried udon noodles and jap chae. The raw section for your DIY cooking station included veggies, prawns, fish, squid, salads, pork belly, beef ribs, chicken.... the cuts of meat could've been labeled better. Some were marinated, some weren't. Then there was a station for pickles and sauces.
The dessert section was seriously lacking.... Just a fruit platter consisting of mostly watermelon and a bowl of fruit punch. Meh.
I really liked all the hot food, especially the spicy pork belly. BBQ wise, I was a fan of the marinated beef short ribs. The prawns were really fresh too. Everything was topped up pretty regularly throughout the night.
Worth checking out. We came on a Monday and it was quote busy. You could get away without booking but glad we did as we managed to secure a table close to the buffet station for minimal effort, maximum eating.
So far, the most amazing Korean bbq restaurant I ever been too. Went here a week ago and they have an amazing variety of cook food that you can eat while cooking your own. They have an amazing staff that gives you a lot of freedom to do your own thing with the bbq, unlike with others that interrupts all the time like you're doing something wrong.
Such an amazing little gem in Northbridge, definitely worth a visit!
Fantastic buffet in this kitsch and easygoing BBQ restaurant. The food is excellent and the value is great. The staff offer attentive and genuinely nice service. Would recommend in a flash.
Anyone who doesn't rate this place must have something wrong with them. Everything is good at management PR is next level.
Well-priced, great location, quality meat.
Wow. Wow. Hwa Ro. Been here every week for the last 5 weeks. Have not been disappointed once. Apparently new owners, so huge kudos to them.
So I really believe in terms of Korean BBQ this is one of the best. I've been to Oppa, BBQ sister and Seoul Korean and by far the quality of the meat they serve is one of the freshest most tastiest amongst the four.
Their cooked food which includes spicy pork, bulgogi, japcai (the last two times not available), sweet sour pork, sushi and fried chicken wings are more choices than other similar restaurants and in terms of quality is definitely better than normal ban Marie type of dishes.
Their raw BBQ meat sections have nice taste to those marinated ones and very good high quality meat in terms of the unmarinated ones. Their raw pork belly, simply DIVINE!!!!
They also have a steamboat alongside the BBQ for a more healthy option with more of the quality ingredient for you to consume.
So. Why not the 5.0 star... desert station is lacking slightly. They serve very fresh fruits, but unfortunately that's that. They have tea and coffee, but would be nice to have an ice cream station like Seoul? (Might be asking too much perhaps - maybe 4.5 should be 4.8).
Price we find is reasonable at $38.00 for adult considering the quality of the food. The service!!! WOW!!! These are prime example of what we need in the Perth hospitality industry, courteous, knowledgeable and very friendly. Our family love these guys! They are simply nice folks.
Good luck Hwa Ro. We wish you all the best as the new owners. Well done on all you've achieved to date. You guys should be very proud.
Most amazing Korean BBQ buffet I ever had!!!! Had dinner with my family few days ago and most of the food was definitely perfect and also the steamboat has fresh meats, seafood and veges and the udon noodle was fantastic. I recommend that the place is best Korean BBQ & steamboat buffet.
Korean buffet at $35pp. Yes please! Great value for money, authentic and fresh ingredients. As part of the price, you also get cooked dishes (Korean fried chicken.. Omg!).. And fresh fruits. Love it
Great Korean all you can eat restaurant! They had cold crab and the bean curd rice rolls which were my favourite! Kimchi was great and I loved the hanging exhaust pipes to prevent you from smelling like bbq after dinner. The only downside is the lack of drink variety.
Our weekly favourite!. This is our absolute favorite restaurant! We try and eat out here at least once a week and we always leave happy :) The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, food fresh and delicious and price, extremely fair. So lucky to have Hwa Ro in our neighborhood!
Has the best rice out of all the Korean restaurants (I believe red or black bean rice)? The Ventilation for the cooking is designed so you can eat without leaving smelling like Korean BBQ. BBQ plates are neat and easy to cook! Love this place.
Good range of meat, though no labels and quite pricey at $38 pp. The ventilation tubes on every table drastically reduced the heat and BBQ smoke hotbox effect, making for a more enjoyable eating experience.
Amazing place, I cannot recommend it enough.
The food is relatively cheap and tasty, the way authentic Korean should be.
The vibes are also great, with the food being replenished regularly.
The owner is friendly and doesn't seem to mind having a chat and giving tips.
I went before a night out and surprisingly didn't notice the usual Korean BBQ smoked smell.
Definitely a go to for a casual night out.
Delicious food, with a good variety of meats with and without marinades. Has recently come under new management as of March 2016. Tables were a little crowded, especially with 4 people to a table but nothing that couldn't be worked around.
This was the first time I had ever tried Korean BBQ and I loved it. Staff were extremely friendly and always smiling. It was a great atmosphere and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Delicious all you can eat Korean BBQ place! Steam boat π² with seafood π and bbq π³π at the same time. The marinated pork ribs π and beef π were terrific! Also had an assortment of fruit for dessert ππ₯π
Dang, we got FED!
$36/person for all sorts steamboat, and bb and all sort of other dishes and no one gave us stares for going up multiple times... We ate the steamboat thinking we were done... Then the Mama San (new owner) demanded we have our fill of special beef and chicken which she cooked and tended to us and told us what to eat and dip with - which we did. Beef fingers - say no more, they're your favourite.
This place is swell. You should go if you like food. Which you probably do.
