Reviews
Came here for my husband’s birthday, it was busy restaurant. Booking is must, otherwise will wait with hungry tummy:). Overall the service is fast, food was great, busy place, really happy with everything. Definitely will be back
Visit every time we go to Sydney, never disappoints. Great food, lots of options at an an affordable price.
Amazing cuts of meat and fresh sashimi. I’ve been here so many times and love it every time! Totally worth it, especially the Tuesday buffet deal
Has a wide range of medium grade Wagyu cuts available to order, but limited top grade options. Buffet is $100 / person, all you can eat on selected menu items within a 2hr window. Cocktails are $20. The menu has many alcoholic drinks including beer, wine and speciality drinks. The main menu has lots of good choices available. The dessert items are somewhat limited, and need work on their presentation compared to higher grade Wagyu restaurants like Choji Yakiniku in Chatswood who offer limited dessert options yet have a strong focus on care and attention to detail. The atmosphere is very noisy inside and the place was packed full of people. It's a great set-up, though not recommended if you are looking for a quiet night out.
Good no frills korean bbq place. Seemed popular on a Sunday night bit still managed to get a table straight away as a walk in.
Staff were very accomodating to us and the food came out quickly. Works out to be $40pp. Atmosphere is very typical for a korean bbq place (dark-ish, noisy), perfect environment to drink as well.

5 star experience from arrival to departure. Melba restaurant is spacious and very comfortable. Huge variety of cuisine to choose from buffet style. Room was well appointed and made us feel at home. Staff are outstanding.
Luxury surroundings throughout the property and the most convenient location with Southbank at the front door with access to the banks of the Yarra river and CBD.

Even with the price increases, Kobe remains reasonably priced after visiting several times. Although I usually enjoy exploring to new places, kobe quality always hits differently. I like the wide options they have. Sashimi are always fresh, including the meat. I also like the side dishes. To fully appreciate the experience, set aside some time for dessert.
Food was better than average although I feel that there was no star quality nothing specific to go back for. Service was definitely amazing and quick. But I feel that $100 is understandable for the quality of meat and service but at times not so understandable.
Best view buffet! Siting besides the rivers, looking outside of the window with full of trees and greens…. Fresh sashimi, seafoods - oyster, crab, prawn, roasted pork, beef, Beijing duck roll, hot pot bar, fresh cooking bar, salad bar, so many to choose, also have variety of cakes and chocolate bar! Warm and smiling customer services! Complimentary coffee or tea! Great place to catch up or have family event! 5 ⭐️. Highly recommend. We selected weekday lunch, not so many people and plenty food, price is much cheaper than weekend! Booking is essential!
My family and I visited the Harvest Buffet for breakfast Saturday morning, and it was quite crowded. The breakfast food was tasty with a decent variety of options like eggs, pancakes, breakfast meats, etc. Nothing fancy but a good classic breakfast fare. However, the waiter Yug provided excellent customer service despite having to handle multiple tables at once. He took care of every request promptly and with a smile, even when several tables were trying to get his attention simultaneously. He worked extremely hard, and his positive attitude was commendable, especially considering the busy crowds. His excellent service deserves recognition and a raise! We'll definitely be returning to the Harvest Buffet again for breakfast.
I had the pleasure of staying at Star Grand
and having breakfast at Harvest. I must say, it was an outstanding experience. The food is absolutely delicious and the presentation was impeccable. Every dish was bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients.
The chef's ( Myron Fernandes) attention to detail was evident in every bite, and it was clear that they take great pride in their work. The service was exceptional as well - the staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure that we had everything we needed.
Overall, I would highly recommend Harvest Buffet to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. The food and service were both top-notch, and I cannot wait to return. Thank you to the chef and the entire team for a wonderful breakfast!

First impressions are very good. I don't know why a few of the staff acted tired of me. Some are really nice and don't lose their smiles. The food selection was good; you can get multicultural dishes. I would recommend it for family meals. As a bonus, there is an event that runs until the end of October where you can receive a complimentary meal if your gathering consists of more than 4 people (I don't know how many people they can provide the complimentary buffet for)
This buffet has been a long-time favorite of ours in Melbourne. However, our recent visit left us slightly disappointed with the food quality.
We arrived at 6 pm on a weeknight and were promptly seated, but we noticed that some items at the hot food station weren't adequately heated, and a few dishes were overcooked. The cold seafood station's freshness was inconsistent; while oysters and sashimi were generally fresh, the prawns were somewhat fishy and overcooked.
The desserts also did not appear to be freshly made. We thought several cakes in the fridge were either stale or hard (see video)
On the positive side, the service from the waitstaff was exceptional. However, some of the chefs appeared a bit grumpy, which slightly impacted our overall experience.
As a suggestion for improvement, we hope the restaurant considers bringing back dedicated lobster nights rather than random rotations.

Normally, I am reluctant to go to cheap Korean BBQs and am a loyal regular to Kobe Wagyu BBQ (although that's Japanese) but at more than half the price, I have to say it that Kobe was definitely not twice as good as Butchers.
Yes, they don't have fresh sashimi and not the top grade meats Kobe is famous for but they have a better selection of marinated meats, and if you get there early, you get some quality cuts of wagyu too. They have unlimited uncooked banana prawns, a good variety of cooked food, fried prawns, salads and condiments.
The service is attentive for how busy they are but we had a gas cylinder that was almost out to start with which ruined the first batch of meat we cooked and they come far too often to change the cooking plates which means the temperature drops again. They should really train their staff to wait till the meat is cooked before they change the plates.
Nevertheless, the value is excellent for the price and will be back!

Seated in 15 minutes for 10 people on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner with no reservation, waiter was very accommodating and communicative with wait times.
Grills were changed consistently and heat was great on the grills.
Amazing range of high quality meats and sides to go with the dishes and the fried chicken is very good here.

We both celebrated our wedding anniversary there on the 4th of October 2023. We were welcomed by lovely staffs and the ambiance was amazing. We enjoyed the food and drinks. We wanted to thank the Manager Mr. Danny, and his staffs Mr. Daz, Mr. Will, Mr. Justin, another Indonesian staff that we forgot to get his name. He made us a beautiful authentic Malaysian Char Kuey Teow. The whole experience was wonderful and it really made our day that night. We’ll be back again. Well done Melba Langham.
Brisket Burger: tender brisket; bun was fresh but a bit over-charred.
It lacked punch overall – needed more of the mustard and BBQ sauces to bring out the brisket flavour (most of it got absorbed into the bun), and the pickles were too understated. Brisket didn't taste very smoky.
At $28, it's quite pricey, size and quality considered.
Service was friendly, professional and speedy. Atmosphere was excellent for conversation.

Just tried the new beef brisket burger and it was nothing short of spectacular! Deliciously seasoned and incredibly juicy A must-try if you’re in the area! 🍔
Visited on Monday night for their Korean BBQ. There is a very good range of meats as well as cooked dishes. The hot plate on each table is huge which allows you to cook faster than you can eat!
A nice selection of Cooked dishes including Soup and an area to make your own Bibimbap. I only wish they had a larger variety of Desserts. Overall, pretty good value at $40pp (if you pay cash).

Here to celebrate my partner’s birthday in Collins Kitchen. The food is incredible, staff are friendly and the environment is decent! She is very happy with the experience. Will come again!
There are not a lot of food options compared to other buffets we’ve been to. The food itself was alright. Considering what we paid (it was around $30pp for lunch all-you-can-eat if you didn’t select the bbq option) the experience overall wasn’t that bad, but I would recommend checking out other buffet options in the city instead.
Meat are always good here. They are strict about the 90min time allocated. Have not had issued about wastage, they always stress the issue when seating customers. We usually take small portions at a time so never had an issue with it
First time. But I loved the quality of the food. Personally, I'm a meat lover and I was very happy with the quality of the meat. We will definitely visit again. Next time, I will upload more photos.
We just tried this for once and will never return again. Not satisfied with the food. Expected much because of its price but only few choices unlike the other buffet that we use to eat at. No fishcake, japchae is bland, only few desserts and place looks dirty.
Overall it's not bad. There's plenty of options that you will
The fried stuff aren't bad. Onion rings are ok and the Soy fried chicken quite great. Good selections of meat as well, and taste just ok.
Fried rice was decent as well as the other entree type food. No complaints really.
What they could work on is generally the way to cook the meat and service. The flame from the grill isn't strong as theyre trying to finish the gas to the last drop. Which means the meat aren't charring. It's cook, just not charred.
Everytime you call the staff to change the grill plate, it feels like you're bothering them.

Absolutely Fantastic Staff at Collins Kitchen. Very friendly, Hard working.
They deserve a big pay rise , staff should be able to stay the night before the shift in the morning.
Highly recommend High Tea and Breakfeat. Thank you so much. I Enjoyed my stay.

Went for the lunch BBQ and drink buffet and paid cash to take advantage of the discount. All the meat was super fresh and good quality and a reasonable price for what you get. I over ordered a bit but managed to eat everything, you have 2 hours and last orders cut off after 90 minutes. If you have meat left over they'll charge you an extra $10 which is fair enough. The orders come out pretty quick after ordering even during the busy time. The staff were nice when I asked silly questions. Will 100% come back when I'm back in Sydney.
Good quality and range. Can get pretty busy but the staff are nonetheless attentive and quick to clear plates.
Nothing stands out though, as one may expect from a buffet as it’s more quantity over quality.

Overall, the quality of the food was quite good, the prepared dishes, like japchae, bulgogi, and the fried chicken were nice.
There's a decent variety of side dishes, and the quality of the meat was good.
But my wife and I both agreed that there was a lack of flavour to the non-marinated meats and side dishes.
And I'm not sure if we just caught them on an off night where they were out of a few things, but there's not a lot of options for sauces to add those flavours in.
Our options were sesame oil, salt, mayonaise, sweet chilli sauce and garlic.
No soy sauce, ssamjang, gochujang, any of the staples for Korean bbq sauces.
We had a decent meal overall, but I personally would travel a little bit further to go somewhere else for Korean bbq next time.

Naum BBQ has the best value for money. Plenty of good meat and seafood. Side dishes are fantastic as well. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend to all meat lovers. !!
Went there on a Monday night for dinner with few friends and their kids. It was pretty busy for being a week night.
Loved all the food especially the ones the chef cooks for you there!
Amazing lamb chops, spaghetti, naan bread cooked by the designated chefs there. Very fresh and delicious 😊
Friendly service and pretty relaxing atmosphere.
The hotel itself is bit dated but who cares when the food is amazing 😆.
I definitely recommend this place over the other one at Crown 😆.

The selection of food is adequate, we were expecting more options available at this buffet.
The food itself was satisfactory, the seafood being the saving grace
The staff were not readily available and would only come over to the table on occasion
The environment is nice and inviting

Lunch buffet is good enough and food is very yummy with Korean food style. I like the noodles with beef very much and chicken wings are good as well! Price is very nice for 20 dollar per person!
I’ve been to a lot of kbbqs in Melbourne, but this one has the best value for money by far. Not only is the meat good, but they also have lots of other delicious food (love their fried chicken!). This is my go to kbbq place now :)
We arrived at the restaurant 11.59am. We booked the place at 12pm to 1.30pm. The line was very long. We waited for 10 to 15mins. We saw people with no booking was served first. The staff looked very confused and lost. We did not where to go. We complained to the staff and manager Artemis. She was rude and kept interrupting while I was speaking. The had a lot of bad reviews lately. Very disappointed and sad cause it was for my wife’s birthday and did not make us feel welcome. Also some of the oysters had a very bad smell. Hopefully I don’t get any food poisoning.
Honestly out of the majority of Hotels, buffet's I've been to, I've got to say this is by far the best FOOD, SERVICE and Atmosphere in regards to food consumption. Without a doubt awesome attentiveness by Staff, politeness, clearing of unused plates, cutlery, cups etc. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. I'm not a seafood person, but those who've eaten it here at SLH rave on about it. I'll be coming back here again, it was worth the drive.
Food was fresh and plentiful but the service was very poor. Had to ask for finger bowls twice before we got them, had to chase down a waiter to order drinks, table water was never refilled and no soap in the woman's toilets which is concerning when eating at a buffet. Definitely not the standard you would expect here.
Plenty of parking, delicious food and variety of cuisines up to sea food and Asian.. The dessert awesomely great. Compared to many buffet places their value is beyond what you get, it's just incredible.
They have a playcentre for kids and large TV screens to catch up pm sports!

Celebrated my birthday here and it was an excellent experience. Received half price on the all you can eat buffet yakiniku, and had no complaints with the food or service. The pace at which our orders were being brought out was amazing, and the staff were extremely attentive with cleaning up any emptied plates. The meat and seafood quality was worth the price tag— personally could not get enough of the sashimi, especially the scallops. The spicy miso flavoured beef rib fingers was also amazing.
Great quality food in the best location overlooking the Yarra River! Dined in on a Sunday buffet lunch and was very impressed. Lots of different cuisines, meats, seafood, veges, side dishes and sauces. They even make naan bread for you on the spot! 100% will be going back especially for those lobster tails and buttered caper sauce.
a lot of choices of meat and other fried dishes. Usually crowded but you don't have to wait too long. Staffs are friendly and attentive. Prices are so reasonable for a buffet restaurant. Love it
Love going here! Food was very delicious especially the woodfire pizzas. Continuously freshly made and taste amazing! We came back the for the pizzas and the friendly service from staffs. Great selection of other foods and definitely a hidden gem!
The food was really great with various of options to choose from. I specifically loved their CURRY PORK BELLY. We will definitely visit again.
I revisited the place with my friend for the lunch buffet recently. We arrived at 2 pm. We were shocked when we saw 5-6 options of dishes to choose only, and some of them were a few pieces left (not includes salad bar). The fried chicken wing was the only thing we enjoyed. extremely disappointed!!!
Am a frequent visitor over the years & this place has its ups & downs. Prices have risen, the recent quality has improved which is good. Family friendly with good staff. Play area is poorly run down & unclean. They have changed the soft drinks options which sucks too, not a fan of the new options apart from solo.
A great experience to barbecue your own food. Staff were great. For once tables are large size for 2 people. Meat was tender. A great place for lunch. Definitely recommend
Overall a pleasant buffet experience.
The sashimi/sushi bar and cold dishes were my favourite. Everything was good.
The hot food section was a hit and miss depending on what you get.
The dessert section is a definite hit as everything was quite nice and pretty too.
The buffet experience is lovely with attentive staff and great service. Would recommend if you're looking for a nicer buffet option than some others.

We’ve been here a number of times but today‘s lunch was the best dining experience we have had in Hancookwan so far. We don’t have to ask for the grill plates to be changed, the staff took the initiative which is really nice. Good food, we’re so full! Totally worth the $42 per person. Kudos to today’s crew! Keep it up!
Buffet BBQ with endless raw meat, squid and shrimp dishes. Sumptuous cooked items: dumplings, rice ball, chicken wings, fried rice, ice crea, cut fruits, etc.comes with free flow of coffee and tea as well.
Went on a Sunday night, booked in for a reservation for 2 as it gets booked out on the weekends. A few people found out the hard way waiting and then getting turned away as they were fully booked. Good selection of meat for Korean BBQ all you can eat as well as salad and side dishes. Be prepared to walk out smelling like a Korean BBQ. Reasonably well ventilated and they have extraction fans throughout. Very satisfied and would come back again.
Great selection of tasty fresh food, great atmosphere. They offer a student discount during school days, considering that you come dressed in school uniform and write a google review for them. The manager was extremely pushy about me writing a positive review for them to get the discount, and for this reason, it pretty much ruined the whole experience. I probably won’t be returning.
Fast food buffet and delicious,we are very enjoying our dinner ! They offered vegetarian options as well !
Amazing food, absolutely lovely service very friendly, atmosphere was really family friendly?
A huge buffet type restaurant in the Gold Star huge development which also houses the Casino with guessing about 100+ tables easily. We booked online a few days earlier, it was a bit pricey but well worth it just under $100A per adult. The seafood part didn't have a huge variety, but definitely all the main dishes like local fresh prawns, fresh Oysters in a shell, mussels, large crab pieces which were continually filled with fresh product. There were Mediterranean dishes, Pizza selections, the cavery, an Asian section and lots of desserts/cheese boards. They had self serve tea/coffee, fizzy drinks and water on tap included in the price. Table service was great and a full bar service available. Only downfall was due to the warehouse style of seating space it did feel like eating in an open mall.
not too crowded the meat 🥩 was tender and the fruit is juicy and sweet. 40 dollars per person by cash and It's look clean. 👍🏻 good job 👏🏻
Convenient location, fresh food and variety of options. They have really amazing variety of meat cuts and BBQ setup’s. Highly recommended for family and friends gathering.
Not a good option for a vegetarian or none-beef eater.
You might end up waiting over an hour if you don’t book or don’t reach on time.

We went there on a Thursday night, booked at 7:30pm. Very very disappointing… Very very limited food choices for $70 price. Roast beef was tough. Where was the salmon in sushi??? Dumplings - only a choice of pork dumplings which I think was factory made? My husband’s pasta is better than their pasta. My local bakery has better cakes than theirs - literally. Sorry guys but our local Ariala buffet in Redcliffe is so so much better! I won’t recommend this place. I wouldn’t be coming back.
The feast was an orchestra of flavors, and the free beverage was a refreshing concerto. Though the attendants were helpful, the raucous ambience sometimes made communication an obstacle course. Alas, the men's lavatory was a putrid dragon's lair, with toilet paper rough as a cat's tongue. Nevertheless, the price was a bargain for the succulent meat selection. All in all, it was a memorable experience!
Haven’t been here since 2020 but for all you can eat Korean bbq this place has not missed a beat.
With a good selection of meats, hot selections and fried chicken, small selection of salads and vegetables, soup, rice and dessert and ice-cream. This will definitely fill your tummy up.
With BYO alcohol with no corkage for beer only pretty good value if you do bring your own alcohol. This place does 2 sessions at night 5:30pm to 7:20pm then another one at 7:30pm to 9ish pm.
Left pretty full and pretty satisfied!!

Cheap buffet with no frills. There were plenty of meats to choose from and sides. The waitress changed our grill plate 3 times. I liked it that you go and choose your meats than have big plates of the same meat served to the table. I would have liked more options of sauces.
Went here to celebrate bday and was very disappointed with the food. Ordered drinks and starters and main.
Ordered Pork belly which was so dry that it was hard to swallow.and lamb rump was alright. The portion was so little for the most expensive main on the menu.
Dessert looked pretty but the panna cottage prepared for a diabetic person cuz there was not sweet at all.
Pro-Ambience was good. Service was good.
Would not recommend the place.

As far as buffets go on the Gold Coast, Harvest is probably one of the better ones. It has gotten a little annoying service wise at times. They tend to be over inundated with diners at certain times, so the lines can get long, and they can sometimes be a little slow on topping up the most important station, the fresh seafood. But that's only in peak dining times. When it's fairly normal, or even better, when it's quiet, this place is a foodie heaven. There is plenty of fresh seafood selection with prawns, oysters, and crabs. Then, you have lots of cooked seafood selections with fish, mussels, and oysters. And then you have so many different options from Italian (pizza and pasta), Asian (huge variety), and the classic roast selections and varying modern contemporary cuisine. They have a fantastic array of desserts, and sometimes I like to eat less of the savoury and more of the dessert because they are so good. Will always come back here every quarter or so to indulge in a buffet feast
The worst BBQ restaurant I’ve had ever!!!
The pot is not clean, we changed three times and three times are same. Basically we were eating pot ashes!!!
The sushi rice is not cooked properly, half-cooked.
The smell of smoke was so strong that smoke alarm was beeping. But no one went to fix it, clearing it happened a lot.
And also, foods were run out but no staff filled up.

By far the best all you can eat K-BBQ around. Plenty of meat to choose from, and they even have seafood. Would come back for sure.
Great place in the city for some Wagyu BBQ Buffet in the city.
Heaps of meat and sides to choose from.
Had a great experience with the allocated time of dining experience. Worth the price.
Definitely going back with some company for some bbq sharing!

I give it four as it was on a 50% discount. Not bad for their somewhat limited selection. Seafood really is only prawns and green mussels. Thankfully they are pretty tasty. BBQ pork chop was very tough. Stir fried crab legs from Asian zone are not fresh. Sushi is vile… The rest is pretty good imo. I had lots of desserts. Pavlova is diabetes inducing. Baked toasts are amazing! The buffet is not something I would pay full price for. You can find much better buffet at gold coast if you pay a bit more.
The meals were delish, and the staff were amazingly beautiful. We got to try their 2-course a la carte menu, and we will definitely go for the buffet next time.
The Chef and Kitchen staff in Collins Kitchen certainly know how to put together some incredible flavours. We ate in this restaurant two nights in a row, as we wanted to experience more of the menu.
The steak was a perfectly selected cut of meat cooked to perfection.
The lamb melted in your mouth with it's rich flavours.
The chicken had beautiful flavours and was paired wonderfully with the yoghurt sauce.
The wood fired cauliflower with the tahini and pomegranate was the freshest tasting vegetable we have ever had.
The only feedback for opportunity for Collins Kitchen to take in to consideration, is to sharpen their steak knives. Both nights we asked for new knives to try to cut our meat with, and they were all blunt. They were very receptive to our feedback.

For the price we paid. Cant ask for more. It’s all you can eat. Foods are amazing and walked out of the restaurant with 100% satisfaction. Good place to hang out with friends and family. Can bring your own alcohol if you want. Also, keep in mind that booking is essential. If you gonna try walk in and get a table, good luck with that. And lastly, customer service is amazing. There’s one waiter is exceptionally helpful and friendly. Thank you.
Very nice breakfast bar. Big range of variety. Can get almost every style of breakfast. Taste nice too! Staffs are very friendly and attentive. Only downside is that some of their dishes are not very clean. Overall very happy.
It was recommended by a chef from my workplace, and it did not disappoint! The buffet was so worth every cent. It has a good selection of really fresh seafood. I was expecting them to have lobsters, but they only have bugs and crayfish. The oysters Kilpatrick served were mouthwatering. I loved the tiramisu on the dessert bar; it was rich and creamy.

Nice place to get a buffet experience once in a while.
We went on a one Sunday..
(After a pokies session which is located next to the buffet area)
Had a large food variety experience in different cultures.
Spent nearly $80 for two persons (excluding beverages)

What a hidden treasure this hotel is!!!! We have driven past so many times and always saw the carpark packed and now I know why. It's very family 👪 friendly and the staff are just as fantastic 👏. Your tables are cleared every 5mins, they are cleaned and cleared straight away and the food 😀 omg fresh, so many different choices. I'm definitely going to recommend this to everyone 👌 for a hotel and a buffet you are restaurant deserving 🙌 well done 👏
Would have rated 5 star if they had more varieties. Friendly stuff and nice atmosphere. Strawberry ball is my favourite dessert. (Last photo bottom left)
The price $104/person is absolutely reasonable because the meat quality is very good you can see the marble from photo. The highly recommend part are short ribs, rib eye cap and flap meat. 😍
A great all you can eat! Very average selection. Was surprise that there wasn’t much diversity.
Everything there was great though. Just seemed like for a all you can eat, you could have more.

Service was very poor， we were 6 adults and 4 kids with reservation. But we were separated into 2 tables， and had been told could not joint the table together. We have checked the 2 and 3 years are free and the 7years old half price.
Food is ok，tablewear and cutlery are neat.
When we finished and pay，they refused to separate as 3 families， so we have to paid in full by one person. （this is a buffet，what if we cannot afford by one person）On the way home， my friend had looked the receipt， they even charged 4 kids （3 of them only 2 and 3 years）2extra bottles of wine charged.
We were far beyond unsatisfied， so went back and asked the refund for overcharge，also checked with why they cannot separate pays but given a group of people 2 tables far from each other，the manager was apologized and refunded the overcharges， also confirmed the table can be joint and pay separate payments are fine.
Very bad first impression，a year later， my families arrived with reservation， but been told there was no table for them.
Never go again and do not recommend.

Amazing food and great service!
We ordered Chicken and Fish of the day from their a la carte menu, and both the dishes were just amazing. The chicken was so tender and scrumptious, the mushroom sauce was a cracker and complemented the chicken very well. Salmon was also cooked to the perfection.
We also ordered some baked potatoes on the side, and they were quite delicious too.
Glad we didn't order any entree as the mains was very filling.
Loved the Italian interiors all cross the restaurant and hotel.

I had the 3 course.
Decor was nice and staff were friendly.
However I believe the food definitely wasn't worth the price you're paying.
Firstly, the portions weren't too great.
My Striploin was ordered medium rare and some parts were definitely more on the rare side.
The dessert however was great and others that had the tiramisu loved it.

Food was great, variety was worth the price. Meats were tasty as they were well marinated. Charcoal fire with non stick grill pan was brilliant as food did not stick and grease drained away. Environment was nice and spacious. BBQ smoke extractors worked well to keep the place reasonably smoke free. Self help buffet counters were replenished frequently. Service staff were discreet yet attentive. Tea, coffee and desert were a nice way to finish off the meal. Well Done Hancookwan!
This places is the best all you can eat Korean BBQ, the quality of the food is unmatched. Having a taste of scotch fillet, along with waygu beef, with also pork cuts, oh I forgot about the chicken and Seafood too. The delicious sides along with sushi and cooked dishes too.
Highly recommended for those who love a good Korean BBQ.
