    Love this restaurant! Ive been three times so far and each visit I always leave full and satisfied…read more The one downside is that parking is a bit tough, however I have been lucky enough to find some of the side street. They are an authentic charcoal korean bbq restaurant. They have tons of choices for meat ranging from beef, chicken, pork, etc. The food also comes with a lot of side dishes. The quality is incredible and you can truly taste it. Some of the meat is marinated while others you dip in the provided sauces after cooking. They usually cook the dishes for you, however if its super busy you may need to cook yourself. The customer service is always fantastic and truly one of the reasons I keep coming back. They are currently on Groupon so you can get a voucher to enjoy a discounted meal here.

    Outstanding!!! Staff are wonderful and very friendly, food…read moreis outstanding!!! We'll be back regularly when in town. They use real wood to cook at your table, not just electric or a gas burner... Real wood!!! That makes the meats taste wonderful! One of the best meals we've had on the Gold Coast. Staff are constantly coming to your table to make sure everything is good. One of the best Korean BBQ's we've ever had, anywhere!! Everything we ordered was 5 out of 5, all the meats were fresh, tender and high quality, all the side dishes tasted great. Make sure you use/lower the vent close to your food as it stokes the fire and keeps the coals hot.

    Yesssss! Being from Los Angeles, we love going to All You Can Eat Korean BBQ places back home. We…read morehad been craving it and started looking for a place. It seems like the Gold Coast doesn't have any all you can eat Korean restaurants but we stumbled upon this delicious place. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and are located in the prime Surfers Paradise area. Parking is a bit limited but you can parking a block away in a structure that allows two hours free. Inside we were seated right away and given a menu. Bulgogi is the first thing that caught our attention so we ordered that right away. The bulgogi was good but the meat was a bit hard. Next we ordered the Kalbi. Which was INCREDIBLE! We got two more orders of it. The meat was so delicious and flavored perfectly. We were also given a bunch of sides that were included. We will definitely be back for more! Edit - We've gone twice now and both times were fantastic experiences. Their service is top notch and you truly feel that they care about their customers. Our second visit we got the Kalbi again (my favorite) and the wagyu. Both have a wonderful sauce they are seasoned with. So happy to have found our new KBBQ spot!

    This is probably one of the best Korean BBQ restaurants on the Gold Coast. To start off with, the…read moreservice was good and the staff were available and were able to help all the time. Then we experienced ox tongue and wagyu beef that was well prepared and cooked. The see food was of good quality. Overall, Koreana BBQ restaurant was wonderful and I would come back next time.

    Thoroughly impressed with this restaurant! Its a small place but their food is outstanding! Parking…read morea probably the only issue, but if you come in the evening it is a bit easier to find. We ordered the Wagyu Beef Bowl, Bento Box with Chicken, and Aburi Salmon Carpaccio. The most incredible item was the Carpaccio. Without a doubt, one of the best starters I have ever eaten in my life! The flavors and seasoning was perfect. I'm a huge fan of Aburi so trust me when I say - you won't regret getting this dish! The rest of the food came out pretty fast too and was very good. The server was top notch too. The waitress often came by to refill our glasses and check up on us. Glad to have discovered this hidden gem.

    My friend took me here the other day for some Japanese BBQ. I've never had Japanese BBQ before so I…read morewas excited to try! The BBQ option was about $40AUD per person. Honestly, this price is ridiculous. Most Korean BBQs are about $20-30 per person. Anyways, they have indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for indoor seating because it was around 8pm at night and was super windy! They gave us order sheets and we mark what we wanted and how much we wanted. Those order sheets were pretty nifty! You just mark down what you want and give it to any of the workers. TIP: If it's your first time here, order a small amount for each type of food that you want. This is so that you can try everything out and check out the proportion sizes. if you want more, just order more. They do charge you extra if have leftovers! My friend and I ordered: beef, pork belly, shrimp, ribs, corn, mushroom, salmon sashimi, salad, salmon sashimi salad, gyoza, takoyaki, edamame, kimchi, and ox tongue. The ox tongue was yummy! It was thinly sliced and flavoured very well. The corn and mushroom were cooked with butter; yumm! The salmon sashimi just melted in my mouth! The workers there were very friendly and helpful. It seems like they lack English, so it was a little difficult to communicate with them.What I found was a little annoying was when they greeted customers. It was cool they they greeted customers every time they came and left; however, they would yell at the top of their lungs.The place isn't very big so you could definitely hear it every time. I believe their store closes at 9pm, so at around 8:30pm, they close the kitchen. Make sure to get your orders in before 8:30pm.
