Korea Top BBQ — Restaurant in Howick

Came in here for a group booking and was allocated a nice private room to dine in.

The Food was average for the 43.5$ door entry with a 90 minute time limit. The overlord surely kept a close eye on the stop watch and came in to let us know there was only 10 minutes remaining. The selection was quite small, 3 fried chicken 3 cooked dish and an handful of sushi. The BBQ meat selection was also quite small and only had about 7 or 8 options with some of the same meat but just in different marinades. Some of the meat was quite chewy and tough, as well as thickly sliced so it was impossible to cook and swallow. The dessert section had a DIY shaved ice machine that was a little fascinating and some sliced oranges for the fresh fruit as well as some store brought chocolate cake. There was also a DIY make your own ramen station.

Overall the price is quite expensive for the selection of food provided and them keeping a tight grip on the clock as this is a BBQ and the meat takes time to cook. The best part of the buffet was the meat was not frozen like some other korean bbq places. Cannot recommend at the current...

Went with a group of 6. The table only had one grill, and it was very slow and placed off to one side — only two people could cook comfortably. The grill took ages to cook meat, and when we mentioned it, staff said we put too much meat on at once… but with six people and a 90-minute time limit, we really had no choice. It was hard to get enough food in time.

There’s no exhaust fan, so we left smelling like BBQ head to toe. Food selection was quite limited, though they do have a shaved ice machine and a coffee machine, which was a nice bonus.

When our 90 minutes were up, staff asked us to leave, even though we were just chatting and there were plenty of empty tables and no one waiting. Felt a bit rushed.

Parking is tough during busy hours, so be prepared to circle around.

On the bright side, service was great — staff were friendly, quick to clear plates, and changed grill pans promptly.

In summary: Friendly service, but slow grill, limited food, strict time enforcement, poor ventilation, and parking problems make it hard to recommend for...
