We got food poisoning after eating at here. My wife and I were on vacation from LA and couldn’t go anywhere because of this!!! Food poisoning!!! When we called, they blamed that we did not cook the meat thoroughly. We are Koreans from LA, it’s not the first time we had Korean BBQ. I am very upset that they were busy blaming us that we got sick. I am contacting health department for inspection. I strongly urge you to consider other Korean all you can eat BBQ Restaurant.

Just a note that this place appears to be closed– went by with a friend who loved this place, and there was a stack of old newspapers by the door and it was all locked up at lunch and stayed that way our entire trip. :( Really bummed, since I’d heard great things.

When I am craving Korean BBQ and it has to be CHEAP this is my spot! I will come here for lunch solo and it’s around $ 12! Dinner is cheap too AND they have a Happy Hour special after 11pm so it’s super cheap then too! They have a large selection of meats and banchan and the employees are pretty nice. Depending when you go and who is working, they will cook the food for you at your table otherwise you are on your own.

Came back to Woo Che recently on a Friday after we thought the $ 17 price was more reasonable compared to Sura($ 24). Well, I was wrong because we were charged $ 19 per person that night. When we first walked in the door, the place was almost deserted. There were only one other table(4 people) beside. When we left, we noticed only one more group came in after us and basically they were the only one there after we left. This is depressing for a late Friday night dinner joint. Once we started eating the food, we realized why the place was almost empty. There weren’t a lot of choices in term of food when compared with Sura. Most of the cooked food have been sitting out for a long time and didn’t look fresh. The meat quality was low and again looked like it has been sitting out for a while. Overall the food experience were not good. The service was nice, but again it could be because there were only a few people there. I felt bad for them because this place looks like it will have to close shop soon. I don’t think you can maintain a business when only a few people dined at your joint on a Friday night. I hope I’m wrong and they will be successful again, so that way Sura don’t have the monopoly and keep jacking up the price.

Is it hot in here or is it just me? It’s SMMMmmoooking! Not because we are in Las Vegas and not because of young women all dressed up to go clubbing… For that you need to go to Cosmo or XS. I’m talking about Korean BBQ in Vegas. What the heck you say??? Yes, for the non locals(myself included) there is a Chinatown in Las Vegas. Although it’s mostly Vietnamese and some Korean if you squint your eyes you may find a Chinese place here and there. No pun intended. If you do the math right 1 Chinese place = Chinatown. Las Vegas is my second home. Back in the day when playing poker was better than working, but that’s a long boring trip down memory lane. Unfortunately, if you are looking to match or beat any korean bbq place in LA or Orange County this won’t be the place. However, if you after tired of buffet lines that take about an hour wait just to get in and are full of nothing but seafood and desserts, this is your Asian food escape. Plus why the heck are all the buffets like $ 40 for dinner now??? What happened to $ 20 or $ 15 buffets and no never mention Circus Circus or Excalibur to me or I will start Raging. Paying Around $ 18 to $ 20 for all you can eat here was too much! Yes, I know that there’s a huge sign outside for $ 12.99/ per person, but it doesn’t mention anything about only on weekdays and excluding holidays. If I only paid $ 12.99 then it will be worth it. I know I sound cheap, but thinking about including drinks and tip. FOOD: Hot food– I didn’t like any of the fried food. Banchan(side dishes) — they were all cold and old. Raw Meat– I only like the brisket the best. It’s simple without any sauce. I was a little concern that the raw meat spoons were right next to the rice and miso soup. I swear I saw a little kid use a meat spoon to get some rice. Just saying… I was afraid of cross contamination. VERDICT: On a week day, I would come back. I try to make it a tradition to visit Chinatown at least once during every Vegas trip. I know I sound so Asian, but sue me. There’s only so many buffets you can eat at. Also, it’s not a contest to stuff your face people! I recommend going for lunch or on weekdays to get a deal, but try not to go out at night. Las Vegas the city outside of the big lights is a bit shady at night time. So watch your wallet. And don’t get catch in any Asian Massage parlors with your pants down.

Out of all the AYCE Korean BBQ options in Las Vegas Woo Che is probably the easiest on your wallet. They even have a late night special for $ 11.99 after 11:00pm and you can’t beat that… I would say the quality of the meat is average if not below on some days. The beef brisket(chadol baegi,) my favorite, often has freezer burn and the galbi is nothing really too special. They also have a hot food, sushi & salad section but I never touch those. Their banchan(side dish) section however is pretty decent. Overall the restaurant just has a kind of dirty feel to it that isn’t most appealing when there is raw meat just chilling. But it does satisfy your Korean BBQ needs for cheap! Tip: Soda is only $ 1 plus free refills yay! I normally don’t drink soda but a diet coke helps me digest all that meat!

I’m giving this place a 3.5!(and that’s a good thing) Whenever I’m craving Korean BBQ and don’t have much $$ I go here strictly for the price. It’s a lot more affordable than other ayce places which will cost me(+ tip) around $ 30 for dinner. The meat and banchans are pretty good, not crappy at all. They do lack desserts but so does Sura. I guess desserts aren’t highlighted in Korean BBQ because people are too stuffed with meat and ran out of room for anything sweet afterwards. Everything they serve on the buffet may not be an A+… maybe a B– They have at least 4 different marinated meat selections and another 3 or 4 «dry» meat which includes beef, pork and chicken. They also serve seafood such as shrimp and squid. They have all sorts of «salads» or cold dishes, along side other appetizers? Such as pot stickers and grilled fish. They also serve sushi rolls but I never give those any attention. If I want to eat sushi, ayce Korean BBQ(or any buffet in general) ain’t the place. I go to ayce sushi joints for that. They serve rose tea and I’m addicted to it. I’d drink like 5 servings lol I know there are better places, but you can’t beat it for the price. It definitely satisfies my meat cravings ;)

I’ve only been here for lunch(can’t beat all you can eat Korean bbq for under $ 15!), and I have no complaints! Huge selection of meats, pretty much all your standards along with some of the good stuff including beef tongue, tripe, shrimp, marinated chicken, spicy pork and couple kinds of beef. Not only do they have bbq, they have what looks like a make your own bibimbap bar, hot foods, soups, Korean brown rice & regular rice, and a little dessert bar that includes their cinnamon rice soup thing! Every time I come to Vegas, I make sure to stop by for lunch! I’ve come with groups as small as 2 – 3 and as large as 10+ and they are very accommodating and friendly! They didn’t even mind splitting the bill for our large group across multiple transactions!

Woo Che is one of the many choices you have in town when it comes to all-you-can-eat gluttony. They have a pretty killer spread here of Items you can choose to bring back and grill at your table, but if you’re the type that just likes to scarf down food and not have to wait for it to cook, then they have a variety of cooked items here as well. As other reviews mention, service here can be spotty at times, and do not come in here all dressed up for a night on the town because the food smells will permeate your clothes(and hair) its not even funny… ALOHA!!!

A decision to go to Woo Che is almost always based off price, not quality. Woo Chee is probably the most affordable/cheapest of the AYCEKBBQ offerings here in vegas. At about $ 13 for AYCE(after 11PM) this place is a great value. But as many of fellow Unilocalers have noted, this value does cost a diner in terms of quality. I am not saying that the quality food here is bad. but it could be alot better. After 11pm they essentially stop replenishing the food in the buffet(except for the meat) and diners are free to get whatever is left. When I got there are around midnight last week, I noticed that all of the salad, and much of banchan offerings were depleted. The meat itself is not bad but really impressive either. The spicy chicken is great and not offered at the other KBBQ places, and the jalapeño soy sauce is addition. I wasn’t too impressed with their cuts for the bulgogi and beef as it seemed like it was mostly fat on it. The interior is like most KBBQ places, minimalistic, but this place definitely has a cafeteria like feel to it. Woo Che is a great value, but there is a sacrifice on quality. Sura down the street offers a much larger variety of food in the same buffet style set-up but is around $ 22 a pop.

For their price and what they do, they’re pretty good. When I go out, I try to have a good time, so I just went for the marinated meats and other things that looked appetizing. Of course, they did have some things that didn’t look so appetizing, of which I didn’t eat, so my review might be a bit biased, but why would I want to get disappointed? Anyway, the beef is yummy, and my love was able to get some kalbi during the $ 11.99 price, which is after 11pm, but he got it by accident by lifting the lid of a tray we weren’t supposed to eat from. The lady just let us know politely that this one serving would be okay, but normally, the kalbi is only in the dinner price. Good thing my love was smart and got three slabs. I have to say, their kalbi is bomb. I enjoyed their gingery rice drink in the dessert section. Their spicy cucumbers were refreshing and a fun delight. The kalbi, though… oh, if only there were enough words to describe it. Perhaps the forbidden aspect of it added to our fun too. We might be back if we want to stuff ourselves again late night, but we really couldn’t eat that much. Ugh… we got full much more quickly than we expected. Meat-packing during the evening is not such a smart idea. We had food coma afterwards.

Nice place for Korean BBQ. 1. Price — Not too bad at 18.95 for adults in the evening. 2. Service — Pretty efficient for a buffet place. I like the seating, plenty of room and the tables — just enough space to put everything. 3. Food — Interesting selection of ban chan, sushi, other bits and pieces. My kids liked them all. The bbq meats and seafood could have been much better labeled per type of meat. Instead, there were generic labels — Seafood, Pork, Chicken, Beef. 4. Cleanliness — Come on, this is an asian restaurant, so we have to focus on the cleanliness. While I did not like the oddly«cleaned» grill inset, once they covered it with a clean oiled grill, I was able to ignore what was«lurking» beneath the grill. 5. Food Choices — Forgot to mention the food choices were plentiful and just about right. Overall, the place was pretty good for plenty of AYCE bbq. I like the style and atmosphere of Mothers, but they do not do AYCE. Nice place if you are hungry for a lot of meat!

This was actually my first visit to a Korean BBQ place here in Vegas. I have been to a few back in Hawaii, however, I am used to having to order your meats from the server being charged for your individual selections. This place was AYCE and you actually go up to the buffet line to make your selections and proceed back to your table to cook it. It’s an interesting Vegas touch. I definitely want to come back when friends or family are in town simply for the interaction and variety of options for all. The meat selection was decent(beef, pork, chicken, and some seafood). We made an attempt to try a little of everything but what stood out the most was definitely the kalbi(marinated short ribs) and the marinated chicken(I preferred the less spicy of the two they had out). The service was very good. Staff was attentive, pleasant and helpful. They changed out our grill in the middle of our meal because they noticed the build up. So that was nice. The gentleman even finished cooking some of our meats as we were too distracted eating what was already on our plates lol. The banchan was mediocre and not as good as the meat choices. They seemed a bit bland and were probably sitting out for too long. If they improve on this minor(yet HUGE) part, I would’ve granted this place the full 5. The price for dinner was $ 18.99 for AYCE. I must say not bad at all. Go KBBQ!

I have been to Woo Che a few times now. The first was a UYE last year when a group of Unilocalers gathered at Woo Che for an evening of AYCE Korean BBQ. And the most recent was a lunch visit with coworkers yesterday. First, I just want to say that if you enjoy having Korean BBQ and not as concerned about paying the right price for the right selection of meats, then wait until after 3pm for the AYCE dinner at Woo Che. Yeah, the price is higher compared to their lunch AYCE, but you get the kalbi which is not featured during lunch. And for me that is practically all I eat when I go to an AYCE Korean BBQ restaurant. And second, don’t wear nice clothes when dining at any Korean BBQ places, as you will be wearing the smell of Korean BBQ back to work, home or wherever you are going afterward. Okay, with that out of the way, Woo Che is a relatively small diner-looking restaurant. It is in the same plaza as Phở So 1, Honey Pig(they have AYCE Korean BBQ too), and Big Lot, on the SE corner of Spring Mountain and Decatur. They have a bibimbap bar, where you can fix yourself a bowl or plate of AYCE bibimbap, topped with the desired selections and portion of the toppings that goes on top of it. Which is pretty cool if you can get that alone, since most of the people that come here are here for the BBQ! The BBQ station offers raw shrimps, spicy pork and chicken, Bulgogi, pork belly, intestines, tripes, beef tongue, etc. And the selection improves with at least the kalbi short ribs for dinner. What I love about Woo Che is that it is a self help buffet, so I can get as little as I want of everything to try and go back for more of what I enjoyed. At some other restaurants you are ordering plates of food, which you may not want to eat by the plateful, which really sucks if you are dining solo. They also have a small selection of sushi rolls and Inarizushi(fried tofu skin pouch with sushi rice), which is next to the dessert station(orange segments, jellos and the Korean sweet dessert drink with rice in it-don’t know the name of that item). Their banchan station has a fairly decent selection of, well… banchans :) Japche(glass noodle accompanied with a variety of vegetables and beef in a slightly-sweet garlic sauce-can be a standalone dish by itself), Sigeumchi namul(parboiled spinach), various kimchis(cabbage, radish, cucumbers), and seaweed salad. The have fried rice, mackerel pike, and other cooked items that you can eat with whatever you cook on the grill. Plus a selection of various soups, plain cooked rice and mixed rice. The waitress that waited on us was friendly and checks up on us regularly. When the grill needed changing, we let her know and it was taken care of quickly. Which is better than some nearby Korean BBQ restaurants, which delegates that task to the busser and you have to wait for him to come by. The only thing that I know can be better is the venting system at the restaurant, but smelling like Korean BBQ after eating at one is pretty typical. Décor: 3⁄5 Looks like a stand alone diner from the outside, and the interior is separated into booths. Food: 3⁄5 for lunch. Lower prices, but lacking the kalbi that I would gladly pay more for. 4⁄5 for dinner. Has kalbi! Service: 4⁄5 Smaller restaurant with attentive staff. Price: 4⁄5 One of the lower prices Korean BBQ restaurants in LV. Food Labels: 0.5÷5 Most items are not labeled, so it is hard for the beginners to know what it is that they are getting. Location: 4⁄5 Not too far from the Strip, not too far West of the Strip on Spring Mountain, so still not a far cab ride for the visitors.

I wish someone brought me here earlier! I always had KBBQ at Tofu Hut. I really like the buffet style here. It’s neat, to me. I like having to pick out my meat whenever I want and then getting some side food along with it. Besides the meat you can pick, they have other little side dishes, like fruits and sushi, etc. There’s different types of rice, too. Consider it a buffet for your Korean barbecue! Next time I want KBBQ, I’m most likely coming here. :) Servers were nice. One star down because the grill we had kept blowing the smoke into one certain area and it was very hard to enjoy your food with it blowing in your face. We didn’t have room to really avoid it cause of our party and the table space. I’m definitely not sitting in that table again.

The BF and I haven’t been here in a long while but for some reason I really had a hankering for some BBQ and rice. Scratch that– I’m Asian and I want that all the time, but was able to convince the BF. The meat was on today. There was sirloin slices that were quite tender. Tongue is always pretty good. I appreciate that they always have the thin sliced radish which I use for wrapping meat and lightens up the taste. It’s not something I can do often but I enjoy it when I do splurge on a meatfest. Just a note, the prices have changed a few weeks after I ate here. Dinner/weekends is now $ 18.99, not $ 16.99. Lunch price stayed the same at $ 12.99

One of my favorite AYCE Korean BBQ places in town. They have a large selection of proteins to cook at your table and their marinades are delicious. My favorites, as always, are the kalbi, bulgogi and spicy chicken. I usually stick with the kalbi and bulgogi because they’re absolutely delicious and cook quickly! It’s all about strategy. Cooking chicken just eats up my valuably gluttonous time. It’s one of the less expensive Korean BBQ places in town, so that’s win win for me since it’s pretty tasty too. The only downside to this place are the sides. They aren’t the best, so I usually just stick with the grilled items primarily. Another plus is that sodas, teas and lemonade are only $ 1 for AYCD. Value upon value at this place.

I was recntly staying in Vegas and wanted to NOT pay a huge food bill at a casino for something decent, and I didn’t want to wait a long time so I checked out a bit of the out lying area. I love ayce Korean bbq, I did a quick search and found that Spring Mountain road had a number of places to choose so I took a drive to see what caught my eye. Woo-Che wasn’t overly flashy, I was looking for something kinda quiet for my Thursday evening and upon entering, it seem to fit the bill. The meat selection was abundant yet there weren’t that many sides that I’m used to that I’ve experienced in LA, so I just picked a couple items to go along with some stramed rice. The cute girl who seated me came by after I had started my first turn of meat and nicely took over the cooking, since I was by myself her friendly conversation was welcomed. She even teased me a little when I didn’t make a second visit to the buffet, «That’s all?» lol On top of that the oter server kept my soda filled. All in all, I enjoyed my visit. I’ll use this place as my fall back and next time I’m in Vegas I’ll give another place a try. For now, this place is fine for the price!

Just A-OK. We actually came to Wooche as a last resort for dinner IF Tofu Hut was not busy. And it was. The only reason I agreed to go to an AYCE Korean BBQ is because Justin A. was craving for some meat. So since Tofu Hut(his favorite ayce bbq) WAS busy, I remembered hearing about Wooche through Unilocal so we decided to go. Funny thing too is that there were these two other guys at Tofu Hut waiting and they overheard us talking about Wooche and asked questions like where is it at? how much? is it good? Told them we can all find out. Not saying they joined us to eat, but they ended up going too. I agree with Misty Y. regarding Wooche looking like a cafeteria inside. Its an actual buffet style where you grab your own food. They have a separate section with 4 different types of soups, the meat section of course, vegetables, «desserts» — why I quote this is because there so-called desserts they had out did NOT look like desserts… weird jelloy thing? I couldn’t tell you what the name was since there were no labels. Also, there’s a fast food section, which kind of threw me off. Anyway, I only chose a few things here and there from the veggie and noodle section due to the lack of appeal and freshness. Who knows how long the food has been sitting there. Another thing, majority of the trays were halfway gone and no one bothered to even check or replenish them. Old leftovers, no thanks. The soups weren’t even hot. Tasted bland too me. The meats were good. I liked the thin slices of beef, chicken, and my ultimate fave… KALBI! mmmm. Overall, I am not sure if I would come back. I’m a little annoyed with the customer service. They have not once came to offer us any refill on water. We tried looking for the server to come by but never did. Finally, Justin had to pretty much go chase after one and ask for refills! This is like De Ja Vu with Elnino F.‘s review on HK Star hahaha! what daaaaa haaaayylllll is going on with this whole water thing!!! There was nothing special about Wooche EXCEPT for the cute ass turtle in its own little habitat when you walk in the doors! Go visit him! So cute hehe!
