Seoul-Ria

Big portions and busy restaurant when it comes to dinner time. Staff is loud and warm with greetings, but they tend to overlook you when you need help from them, I would say, just press the call button.
Other than that, fooood was goood and yummy. But i didn’t like the ventilation of this restaurant is not good, due to the barbecue dishes that they are serving it’s very smokey but they do not have the exhaust pipe to suck out those smoke. Clothes do smell bad after a meal.

A friend told me they have the best side dishes here! I can’t agree more… There side dishes are amazing! We got a pot of rice cake, noodles, and fish cake. The server was really nice and cooked everything for us. The portion was more than enough for two people. Plus the side dishes it felt like we could feed another person!

Celebrated a friend’s birthday at this restaurant. Great place for group gatherings! I rate this place a 3.75.

Haven’t had korean bbq in a while. Lots of variety in the menu and the meat are all nice, tender, and flavorful :) I also love korean side dishes! Yum :)
Drinks: n/​a
I just had water and there were some soft drinks/​beers available

The waiters willingly changed our grill plate several times and refilled our side dishes for free (yay!). My korean friends were expecting them to do the bbq for us, but it turns out that it’s self service. Not sure how it’s supposed to work, I guess it varies in different restaurants. Nevertheless, the waiters and waitresses were helpful in general.

Again, great for group dinners. Very lively, lots of chatting. Entrance is a bit jank, but once you ride the shady elevator to the 2^nd fl, you are greeted with surprise! Oh and the christmas lights on the windows are always a plus :)

Pretty expensive haha. If you’re looking for a super filling dinner, beware of your bill! But again, group korean bbq’s (decent quality ones) tend to be on the more expensive side. Location of restaurant is also kind of conspicuous.

Staff is very slow when they serve you and don’t pay much attention. Food was great. But they should stop serving fatty meat as one of their options because I prefer more red meat on the plate. And the toilet is DISGUSTING.

7 work colleagues on conference visit to Sydney. Had the bibimbap rice dishes. Didn’t have the BBQ or hot pot. It was quiet as late 10 pm dinner. Servings were large and food hot in the stone pots and spicy. Cost $ 20 per person. There were several accompaniments. One person had extra kimchee. I had the teriyaki eel. Tasty & wished there was more eel to go around.

Looks can be deceiving, the street entrance is just a tiny lobby to an old lift but once you’re on the restaurant floor its pretty spacious. Ample space to walk around no backrest to backrest situations happening over here.
Ambience is cool with K-​pop music videos attempting to make the vibe more Korean! I can’t tell since I’ve never been but all the waiters look Korean so this is as close as it gets. They are pretty friendly unlike Chinese restaurants.
We ordered the pork BBQ set and a seafood pancake. Wow it was pork overload, various cuts of pork hmm so good though, although most of them were seasoned with Korean based sauces and the one with Soju that might not be to everyone’s taste. The servers are really attentive, either they really care about the customer or just are afraid that you set the place on fire. We can give them the benefit of the doubt. On top of that, they have the buzzer waiter summoning system although there was always someone checking on us for the BBQ, helping us cut up the meat or flipping them, adjusting the heat. It was borderline intrusive but much better than the other extreme.
Seafood pancake was a little bland won’t be having that one again. They are very generous with the sides, and refillable as well. Too bad I’m not keen on any of them. The BBQ was the best though, I’ve never seen the egg and sweet corn around the BBQ. It kind of a K-​surprise! both of them go well with rice and of course the cooked pork. The sides cook much slower making the egg become a different texture each time you dish out. Careful not to leave them in there too long, they might dry out or burn.
Conclusion
I don’t eat Korean food much but have to say the service here is spectacular. This means that this is a good place to try out Korean BBQ as you will not be left stranded and hungry. The BBQ is self-​cooked so you can cook it to taste whilst they still have other dishes on the menu too. Definitely worth another visit. Warning your clothes will be smelly after this. This setup is good for big groups as you can start eating relatively quickly compared to having single dishes each causing a kitchen nightmare.

Price does not include GTS so it’s a bit more expensive than other. However, there are more variety of dishes and the quality of each dish is also better. They also have more side dishes which is good. Always full when eating here

authentic korean food… at least the BBQ (combo meat dish). the service was less than desirable hence the 3 stars. Rolled in around 6:30 on a Monday night. It got very crowded shortly after we arrived. So not sure if service is not top on their list…
BTW — I am korean american so I’d like to say that I know my korean dishes :)

Excellent value for money, great food and decent service. Also this is another post-​midnight dining place.
For a group of 5 or 6, with average servings (and a bottle of soju which is enough for 2 – 3 shots each) you would somewhere between $ 10 — 15 per person. If people are really hungry, you could probably aim for about $ 20 per person.
The only downside is that theres no korean fried chicken (I couldn’t find it anyway), and you could probably get cheaper soju (some places in «koreatown» charge $ 4 for a bottle — super cheap!)

I was disappointed with my last meal here. I ordered a noodle dish covered in a red sauce that was just not edible for my palate and it ended up being pricey. That’s what I get for trying to be adventurous in my ordering! To make matters worse, my friend lost her camera and had a bad experience with the staff trying to sort that out. It seems like a fun atmosphere with decent food but I personally had a bad experience and won’t be returning.

The food was alright, I enjoyed the hot pot the most out of the food I’ve ordered here.

Was there on Saturday night. Came in around seven. The restaurant was half full. Got seated immediately. The food was great. Normally you would hafta cook your own BBQ in a Korean Restaurant. But in this case they cook it for you! Your clothings will still be stinky but at least you don’t hafta know how to BBQ.
When we left, the restaurant was full. We each paid $ 20 each. So that you know, we are huge eathers! So we did order a lot!

Been to this restaurant a few times. This restaurant is always busy and the atmosphere is buzzing with Korean show showing on the plasma screens. The meal is affordable and decent. Service is friendly and fast. There is a wide variety of dishes to choose from the menu. Hotpot was good as well as the Korean bbq. Great to come with a group of friends.
