Sae Ma Eul BBQ Austin Crest — Restaurant in Johor

Food is delicious and overall staff is friendly. Environment is also good enough.

Need some improvement is we come with a group of friend and order a buffet meal for each person which is unlimited food provided. We did notice there are some other empty place so we took longer time to take the meal and chat.

After around one hour plus, we choose to settle the bill first and intend to continue chatting and having our meal. However just a few minutes after we settle the bill, the service crew immediately come to clean the table without asking any permission even we are still sitting around the table. There are even still have some food on the plate. They only left plain water and cup for us continue to drink.

Note : at that time still have some other empty place

We are not so satisfy with this kind of action since we are having a buffet meal. Eventhough we have already settle the bill, we should still have some more time to order other food. At least when the service crew want to clean the table, they should ask for the customer...

I love Korean food, but this is the worst Korean food I have ever had. The grilled lamb, seafood pancake, Japchae, and rice balls all tasted terrible.

The Haemul Pajeon (seafood pancake) is given for free in exchange for a 5-star Google review from customers (which explains why it has such high ratings). To be honest, that’s the worst seafood pancake I’ve ever had!!!

There was no service at all. If you don’t want to grill the meat yourself, the waiters won’t help you like in other Korean restaurants. And!!!! They ask you to make the rice balls yourself!!! On top of that, they insisted we refill the kimchi ourselves. (Sure, it’s self-service, but come on… seriously?!!!!)

Other than ordering à la carte, we also had the buffet, and the quality of the meat is terrible too.

I took a photo of the seafood pancake, and honestly, any Korean food lover would know this isn’t a decent seafood pancake.

I definitely do not recommend this Korean restaurant...

I had an absolutely amazing dining experience at here ! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The aroma of perfectly smoked meats filled the air, making it impossible to resist.

We tried a variety of dishes, and every single one was a hit. The brisket was tender and juicy, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, and the sides were just as impressive—especially the creamy mac and cheese and the fresh, tangy coleslaw. The flavors were rich and authentic, clearly the result of someone who knows their barbecue inside and out.

What truly set this place apart was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for top-notch barbecue in a relaxed and welcoming environment. We’ll...
