| - all you can eat here doesn't make ECONOMIC sense - unless you can eat like a starving uni student or a professional athlete!
Special 2 = $24 per person, so a total of $50 for 2 people.
- each meat purchased individually costs $12.99, so that's at least 4 main meats to eat before your close to even
- the soup and rice are included but really not needed (soup was too salty)
- the kim chi dishes come regardless if you order al la carte or buffet
So if you could have 2 mains for $12.99 each and be full, why would you AYCE BBQ?
Perhaps for the variety? After all, for the Special #2, you can choose from the 8 different meats!
Let me explain how it works - you can order 3 meats to start, and when you have FINISHED these 3, you can order more.
We ordered our 3 meats - kalbi, pork belly and bulgogi - each was a mountain of meat, probably 400-500g on each plate. How close did we get to finishing these 3 plates to try any of the other 5 available meats? ~about 70%.
So we had to ask for a special favour just to try the sirloin and spicy pork (which was all fat). The sirloin was worth it though.
Beware, don't cook everything because you'll be charged for uneaten COOKED meat. Which makes me wonder a bit as to what happens to the unused uncooked meat, which had been sitting on our table for about an hour....
having said all this - the meat generally is better than average quality - tender without too much gristle. The staff, who don't speak much english, were friendly but they hovered a bit too much to try to stop patrons burning the hotplate.
So, my advice, unless you really can eat a lot, is to order the dishes separately and you be just as full and probably spend half as much!
