“ June 7, 2025 It is our 1st time here and we enjoyed it. They offer variety of korean food faves. Not a fan of their fried foods it is not warm enough and hard to chew for me. Most of the staff are attentive. I would love to go back again just to chill with friends. ”
“ One of the unli buffets that serves humongous amount of seafoods and other viands! Got my workmates to have a nice eat-out dinner here and it was lit! They also offer a mini-studio for solo/group pictures and print it out for your souvenir but with an extra charge. The place is kinda spacious but still of course gets a little bit crowded as most families visit here (or at least on the day that we got here). They have second floor as well. Overall, 10/10! ”
“ Shani-shabu with grilled meats, sulit! They have a wide and generous selection of meats and veggies. Staff were very attentive and quick to offer if a refill is needed or if they can bus out plates no longer used. We opted for service water as beverage and perhaps that was uncommon we were offered if we wanted their pitcher of juice beverage with the food. Food were flavorful and the restaurant isn’t as crowded when compared to other all you can eat Korean restaurants. The wide space in between tables, high ceiling and indoor plants made for a cozy atmosphere. I wished they didn’t charge for ice cream- Melona though for usual dessert endings. So I didn’t get one ”
“ I recently visited Myeongdong after it switched to shabu-shabu, and I was very satisfied. The food quality is excellent, especially the fresh shrimp and the high-quality meatballs included in the shabu-shabu set. While the buffet selection is now smaller than before, I actually think it’s a great decision—the focus on quality over quantity makes the dining experience much better, as the dishes are always fresh and not dry. One of the biggest strengths of this restaurant is its space. The size is incomparable to other Korean restaurants in the area. According to the staff, the first floor can accommodate up to 200 people and the second floor up to 150. When I visited, the entire second floor was reserved for a birthday party, which was very impressive. I’m already planning to bring my family here for our year-end gathering. A big thank you to all the staff and the owner for the warm and friendly service during my visit. Wishing you continued success! ”
