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.

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.
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.
Overall, there could be improvements but good enough for the price and taste.

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
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.
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.

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!
