We came here as my other half's work was having thier Xmas lunch here. There was so many of us…read morethat we took up the majority of the tables in the restaurant. Bad aspect of this was that they ran short of plates actually sitting out by the buffet for you to take for your food so you had to ask eventually when you needed one. Good thing about it being so busy was that they cleared the tables of any dirty plates very quickly, but not return so fast... The selection of food to choose from was really good , both cold and already cooked,and though plates could be lacking there was always ample food to choose from when you went up for 2nd's or 3rd's...etc.. A couple of grills , as there is, per table is good enough for a full table of people The atmosphere is good within ,plenty of parking outside and it is kid friendly if you have them. Amongst all the Korean BBQ places i have been into in Auckland i would reccomend this one first. There may be better out there, just i have not been to them yet. Enjoy!!

I also think they need to proofread their promotional materials which say "enjoy infinite new concept is self-buffet" hmm. Still $12 for lunch or $23 for dinner, all you can cook/eat, and a funny name, is a pretty good bargain. I have seen a lot of people going in here who look to me to be Korean, so I take that as a sign of authenticity and reasonable quality.

Once a different restaurant, different name- but they haven't done anything different with the structure but they have different decor feels. Immediately fell in love with their heavy glazed pottery tableware. Absolutely adore thick walled clayware and especially in their beautiful blood red, turquoise green, off-white colours and the coolest spoon/chopsticks rest alongside their black bowls and cups. Very old school Asian feels. Great display of other pottery on black cubed shelves and other traditional bits and bobs around that are fun to look at. Extensive menu with set menus and dishes to suit everyone. Got their squid stirfry- sauce was a lot more spicy than I thought but still yum. They funnily don't make it in the other sweet soy sauce options because it wasn't ever ordered by their usual patrons! Affordable prices and decent portions. And the best spread of side dishes alongside each order and separate as well. We were lucky to get their lazy susan and the whole spinning top was covered with all these little delightful bites. To die for tableware, extensive menu and generous side-dish spread, with good tasting food

Great Korean BBQ experience! I liked how the place was clean, tidy, and spacious. We went on a…read moreFriday night at 6pm and we're lucky enough to get parking. The meat selections weren't as large as other Korean BBQ places, but was decent enough for a satisfying meal. The side dishes (all you can eat!!!) were amazing - definitely better than other places. Overall, we enjoyed the whole experience :) Definitely worth the $25 per person!!

Located on a trendy area of High Street near Victoria, the restaurant (upstairs and downstairs as well) serves excellent and authentic Korean cuisine. We ordered Dolsot bibimbap (hot pot style) and the rice was crunchy on the bottom as required. Yum! The kalbi short ribs with rice and ban chan (veggie side dishes) was well seasoned and tender! Would go here again. Friendly service too. Despite the excellent food and a trendy location, Bann Sang refuses to over-inflate prices- they are very reasonable!

We had planned to go to another small Korean place over on the Shore but upon getting there and…read morefinding it closed decided we would try our luck amongst the small cluster of Chinese / Korean restaurants that sit in Pearn Place in Northcote. We had never been to any before , so yet another new adventure. We ended up here in Man Du Rang , because it looked more appealing and seemed to have a wider range of dishes on the menu. On first entering we did notice how relatively clean it was... always a good thing , but then sometimes the less clean ones produce the most delicious dishes. Service was quick in coming and it is help yourself water. We ordered the Bulgugi Deopbap which is rice topped with bulgogi ( beef) , Kimshi Mandu which is like a dumpling with kimshi and minced meat inside and a sizzling plate of pork. And of course there was the usual small sides as you get in the Korean restaurants. And what can I say about the food? All delicious and nothing left over!! And not too bad a price either. We did not go wrong with this " mystery " choice of eatery.

I was really hungry and I didn't bother doing the research, ah well... Not that this place is bad, it's fine. But after reading reviews for other similar minded restaurants I felt like I lucked out on this one. Mediocrity has found it's home. I haven't actually tried Korean before, so I was interested to try it, and at $8.50 for a lunch deal it wasn't bad. It didn't take too long, was a really big portion and was piping hot, both chilli wise and heat wise (and that was without having to ask for extra heat so that was goo, cause I like spicy) I was just a little let down on the flavour, it was just a lunchbox sort of deal of shredded pork on rice with julienned carrots, cucumber and red cabbage on top. Nothing great, I ate about a third of it and threw the rest away. I probably should have gone for the dumplings, it actually being a dumpling house, they looked much better.

Amazing selection of Korean dishes and BBQ items as well as a selection of small cakes for desert. At $30 for adults and $15 for kids it is a steal.

As far as buffet food goes it's reasonably good, but as is often the case with a buffet some of the food just suffers from being out too long. In this respect Buffet House has declined markedly from a few years ago - I was once sick off something here for this reason. The service is also pretty average, and the premises in general are dour and in grave need of a makeover. It also isn't that cheap anymore. However one thing keeps this place popular and that's the seafood selection. I swear you just see people come in just for an all-you-can-eat in prawns and oysters sometimes! The oysters are just enough to sway me to give this place three stars, but it's a close run thing. Call it a 2.5.

The ambience was perfect ... but OMG the food was absolutely amazing! There were so many choices, we tried to taste them all.

Today we arrived in Auckland, five years later, with only one item on our itinerary, and it was to come to Morepark BBQ. Our mouths watering in anticipation of returning to our favorite barbecue restaurant in the worldI only to find out You're closed on Mondays. Not able to partake in the heavily experience we had on our last visit was disappointing but definitely rekindled our smiles! Thanks for the memories.
