Came here for a birthday dinner. Food quality is not bad for AYCE. Not crowded for a Friday night. Server was attentive and friendly. Service was prompt. read more

We did AYCE A which was about $36 p/p, however the food quality and taste was pretty disappointing! Banchan was boring and didn't look/taste as fresh. Soup was not good. Meats just okay. Tempura was undercooked (sweet potato). Hopefully the kbbq scene in Austin will grow with better options. read more

K BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food not good, not fresh. Marinated pork - squeezed spicy sauce on top? Ridiculous. Service help not enough, you have to ask every thing 3 times. Messed up our bill, back and forth four times. We waited more than 40mins just for the bill, still not correct. Unbelievably bad attitude. I don't know how you are running a business like this and think it could last? Also, the service fee is mandatory here. 5 ppl is 20% service fee. Watch out people. Will there can be any restaurants worse than this place in Austin? Probably no. read more

We came on a Tuesday night and was seated right away for a party of 5 so that's a plus already. Our server was very quick yo bring out the food and very attentive. All the side dishes are delicious and endless plus there's corn cheese that's already included with the AYCE price which is rare. The price came out to $46/person which might be the only downside read more

For being a chain, it is hard to believe that this is truly the best that they have to offer. Kimchi looked old af, the potatoes were pinkish red and in a dry clump, the salad was subpar, etc. The banchan simply were sad looking and tasting. I had better in actual korean restaurants in town. The meats were actually tasty. That was about it though. Our favorite were the beef belly. Service was alright, they were attentive but it could sometimes be slow if you don't flag them down. If you're planning to do all you can eat here, Package A is simply pork everything with a few selection of beef stuff. Package B is where it's at. Ignore Package A. If you want a better korean bbq experience in town though, Charm or Odaku are still the places to go to. read more

The robot is a cute baby! The meat was a bit bland. A bit disappointed with the lack of flavor. Will give it another try a few months from now. read more

Typical korean bbq. All you can eat option for $29.99. Worth it for a belly full of meat and korean ban chan. They have the robot waiters there...kinda funny as I can tip less and no one can complain. ;) read more

I really wanted to like this place because it came highly recommended by a friend whose opinion I trust but it was gross. There is an upcharge for everything and I would rather just have these things rolled into a single price, even if that total price has to be higher. Otherwise, you just are left with the impression that you are being nickel and dimed. We got the least expensive all you can eat which included three meats. We did not ask for seconds and did not touch the third meat because we were too full. We asked for a box to take it home and they said no we don't do that. So an entire 8 ounce chicken breast went the way of the dodo which is just sad from a food waste standpoint. I can see if someone is ordering multiple plates of all you can eat and is trying to pull a fast one but this was literally the only things they gave us. We also ordered many other dishes in addition to the all you can eat so it's not like they weren't getting their money's worth out of us... Will not return. Also, for the fun factor, we were not served by robots although there were some rolling around but they looked dirty/spilled on like other people have said. Blech. read more

K BBQ - The huge chicken breast they would not let us take home. - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

A friend and I attended a weekday night during the soft opening. Expect to wait for an hour or more during the week and likely longer during the weekend. No reservations but there's plenty of cool shops to visit beforehand in the same shopping center. I've had Korean bbq basically every place I've lived, my grandmother used to make it for me and I've been to Seoul for BBQ, so I feel like I have a decent understanding. For me, This unseats Charm as the overall best AYCE kbbq place in Austin. It's a bit pricier than Charm but I feel the extra flavor and ambiance is worth it. The banchan was not the best I've ever had but there's a good selection and I believe it's better than charms banchan. Flavors and marinades are better at K bbq. Will be back when the hype dies down a bit or when they implement a reservation system. read more

I was excited to try this new AYCE Korean BBQ place, and our go to kbbq place is Chosun Galbi but we spend way too much there. We waited an hour for 2 people on a Friday night which isn't too bad since they are not at full capacity right now. Our waitress was very sweet, and very attentive. Nothing wrong with the customer service EXCEPT one thing that annoyed me. My husband has a gluten allergy and we told our waitress before hand and she told us what banchan my husband can eat. Awesome! So thankful for that. We are also aware what meats have gluten (usually the marinated stuff). We cooked the non marinated meat on one side and the other meat on my side. BUT the issue was that every time our waitress changed our grill, she pushed all the meat together on the new grill....even though we told her my husband has a gluten allergy. So there was obvious cross contamination. If you have a gluten allergy, I would just advise you to just stick with non marinated meat. I wasn't impressed with the banchan. Kind of bland and nothing special. We stuck with the A meat option because I'm cheap. The bulgogi, thin brisket and normal pork belly was good. The garlic pork belly was disgusting..the garlic quickly burned on the grill and created a gross burned taste. Also the baby octopus sauce was too salty and not spicy at all. Didn't end up finishing it.... read more

I came back a couple of times. It's a hit or miss. When I came back, it was really good! Few days later I went again for a birthday and it wasn't that great. If I was craving for Korean bbq, I would give other places a try. read more

Clean, has robots, good ventilation, attentive service, thin sliced cuts are the way to go! Also "Oppa Gogi style" read more

I visited Goa, India. It's a rural state know for its beautiful beaches and it's all controlled by the Russian mafia. I find it odd that so many Eastern Europeans are waiters here. Is it the Russian Mafia?! May I join?! Meat is good. Soju is good. Friendly service. Cute robots. read more

Food quality, service, everything so perfect. Their robot server is so cute and the owner is super kind and friendly! I will come back here with more companies with me :). Every penny I spent here was worthy. read more

ok. this place limits how many meats you can order at one time... so don't come here with more than 2 people. whether its 2 people or 6-8 people, it's a limit of 3 meat orders. Even if you order menu C, which is $58 per person... with 6-8 people, they limit your meat orders.... some wagyu experience. Maybe they're trying to fool you with how long it takes your stomach to tell your brain it's full. We got here at 5pm, 1 hour later, 6 orders of meat between 6 people. then since you paid for wagyu, they suggest ordering the cheaper meats cuz it's faster. NO! why pay for more expensive meat and then order cheaper meat? or get multiple tables. don't sit more than 2 maybe 3 or 4 to a table. read more

K BBQ - 3 pieces of meat for 6 people?! - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was excited to try this place especially with all the hype around getting a Korean bbq place in a city where Korean food is almost nonexistent. I really wanted to like this place but the meat here was not good quality and the a lot of the meat was placed ok plates that were not fully washed so the meat on the grill smelled and tasted like dishwashing detergent. read more

Our server AJ was great and the food was delicious as alway! Highly recommend! Also not too loud or busy.

For $35 a person, this is an incredibly solid All-You-Can-Eat KBBQ place. Is it the best KBBQ in Austin? No. Is it a good choice for most KBBQ needs? Yes. If you're with a large group, or new to the KBBQ scene, or just interested in the novelty of having a robot waiter deliver your thinly sliced brisket, this is the place for you. The sides are good - not breathtaking or particularly memorable but good - the service was attentive but not overbearing, the restaurant is clean and offers a wide variety of drinks, sides and cuts of meat. Parking can be a nightmare but that's more because the outlet this restaurant is located in has a ton of really great shops and eateries rather than an issue on their part. Not only would I recommend going to this restaurant I would recommend visiting just about every shop in this outlet! read more

Excellent service & Food. We have had a lot of Korean bbq in austin and this is by far the best we've had. They don't tack on up charges for refills of anything. The service is out of this world! Plenty of choices for the meats and sides. The steamed egg was delish, next time though I am going to try the cheese corn. There were 6 of us and although they have a 20% gratuity for 5 or more, that didn't affect the service. Can't say enough about how attentive they are to you're needs and satisfaction overall. Plus the robotic servers are fun to see and even with those, the staff was hoppin and plenty of staff, at that. The ambiance was spot on, we couldn't have asked for more and now have a NEW Korean BBQ fave. Thank you. read more

amazing service and great time with friends :) ofc the food was AMAZING! The waiting can be a bit long but its worth it.

Really good service but subpar k bbq food. I want to say our servers were amazing. Our grill plates were changed very frequently and our requests were answered timely. I should've expected the cheap meat good quality with "all you can eat" plans. You'll still get a filling and decent meal. But if you've eaten at any other kbbq places in East Asian countries, you'll be disappointed. A lot of meat plates here have extremely thin slices that were hard to grill. The seasoning on the better ones were still just...meh Not to mention that my Diet Pepsi (served in a cup) had some unknown oily residual floating on its surface. I think it might be worth it for the price. But I won't be coming here again. read more

My family and I first time here was on my daughter's birthday, this past May. For our first experience, it was delightful! Food was delicious as expected! Our server(Mr.Eli) was the nicest, friendly, knowledgeable, and most of all had patience with us. Our second experience here was still great but not like the first time, which was okay. The server wasn't as attentive, and they weren't busy. Our first time it was busy but Mr. Eli made his rounds often. Our third time coming here wasn't the best. Also was not busy and wait staff would ignore the call button... and mind you, there is a two hour time limit and is in-forced when busy. In the beginning of the menu booklet also has it written about the time limit. So you can imagine we grew frustrated because we weren't getting attended, and time was ticking for us! When the server would come, they seemed annoyed, would sighed and mumbled something in another language. Our fourth and most recent visit my husband decided that was going to be our last time going, because how bad it was. When we were seated, we asked for soft drinks. Our waitress got annoyed quickly at this request. And Yes, you have to ask for soft drinks if you want soft drinks. We didn't mind this, just letting the folks that are interested in going know this. Water, ice water is what is served, which is awesome, but a few in my crew can't eat without their soft drinks lol Well, we got seated next to a family similar in size as ours, (which is NOT the problem, but this bit play into the reason why we will no longer go.). So, we began to order, again not busy(we usually went during the weekday), our waitress was already snappy and mean, our guess because we asked for soft drinks at the beginning. Food was good for the first two rounds(I say rounds because they bring out a plate of each item you order. For example; the short ribs: one round=A plate of 4-6 riblets. Teriyaki chicken: one round= two small marinated chicken breast you have to use scissors to cut up into pieces. Those were the only rounds we got, because we kept encountering the same issue from our previous visit, them ignoring to call button. Luckily, Mr. Eli saw us just sitting there and asked if we needed anything. For those that might be asking why didn't we get up and do or say something...we are non-confrontational people, it's embarrassing for us to drawing attention like that. Sorry to disappoint. As Mr. Eli leaves to submit our order of items, a whole different waiter(not our snappy waitress) come says, "here is your ticket. Cash, check or card??!!". Now here comes the bit about the family that was similar in size as us, that was there when we got seated next to them. The family was fine, no issues with them. Remember how I stated that there is a time limit right? Well the waiter that bought our ticket made us leave before our time was up. Turn off our grill and all. We don't usually stay the whole two hour, maybe an 1:45 at the most. This time we were there for only an hour or less... But the family that we were sat next to, that was there before we arrived, stayed... So yeah pretty unfair! Then to pay 258$ and hardly got the chance to eat anything! Food is good, short rib, spicy pork, brisket, teriyaki chicken, and the cheese corn! We enjoy very much the corn cheese here and it is unlimited, but almost every time we've gone, we order 2-3 times each(4 of us) and this annoys them for some reason though. Parking isn't the best. Since it's located within a shopping center. Parking slots aren't ideal especially if own trucks or large SUVs. This shopping center is never not busy, so good luck finding a parking spot too! Hummm, ambiance... it's decent. I really don't know much about ambiance, I only care about cleanliness and clutter and other obvious things. My kids did say, " woah nice!" especially my daughter, on our first visit. For the most part it's clean. Noise levels depend.... Like I said before, the times we have gone, it wasn't busy but it would get somewhat loud(doesn't bother us). But, I assume most restaurants and public places are like that. I never been to a public place(other than a book store or library) where it was not loud. I'm not sure if I recommend it here. Food is good. I guess if you do decide to go, ask when time starts running so you're able to put a timer on your phone. Also, pay attention who was there before you, just in case anything unjustly happens. I will add that i did ask a manager or supervisor, I think on our 2 or 3 time going if we had to leave at the two hour mark. She did say yes when they are busy, which is understandable. But she did also say it was okay if it passed the two hour mark if they aren't busy. read more

My friends and I dined here for a birthday celebration. The birthday girl was so excited to try this place out and we had a fabulous time. The atmosphere, ambience, service, and food was outstanding! We got the All You Can Eat BBQ and everything was so yummy. The robot there is pretty cool. We had such a wonderful time and left there with very satisfied tummies! Will definitely be back! read more

Excellent eating environment and food selection for bbq. The waiting staff was very efficient as well, changing grills constantly while you yourself grill up some delicious entrees. Only negative is the parking really, but parking is always over saturated on Saturdays at this shopping center. read more

Checkin & waitlist was reasonable. Service was mediocre with servers hovering over our table and constantly butting into our service. The server was awkward and rude. Also the manager rudely asked about our tip at the end. This was a bad experience and super awkward. I was so ready to leave. $136 for 2 people is insane for some bbq. I can do Texan bbq for half that and have eaten tons of food. This was a joke. Never going back to this place. read more

Found this stainless steel piece in the corn cheese when one of my friends was eating it. Told the manager about it. He didn't even apologize about the situation. All he said was "we cannot guarantee the dish is 100% clean and there's nothing we can do about it." The restaurant only offered a replacement. This is a life threatening situation if anyone swallow it. So disappointed at the management of this place. In other words, the manager of the restaurant confirmed the restaurant is not clean. I would not recommend this place. read more

K BBQ - We forgot to take some pictures before our dinner, but everything was amazing! - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

A delicious and fun experience in Austin. Food was fresh and meat was delicious. Prices were reasonable.

This was the most delicious Korean bbq I've never had! I highly recommend the spicy wagyu! And the service was amazing! Charlie took great care of us! He definitely went above and beyond to give us a fine dining experience. And the place was clean and the ventilation was amazing, no smoke in the face at all like some other places. The clean up crew was also quick and efficient, we even timed them once and from when the family left the table was clean and ready for the next in less than one minute!! Pretty amazing!! I will definitely be back here the next time I visit Austin. read more

My sister took us for for all you can eat Korean barbecue and it felt like Christmas! We ordered the bottom/cheapest tier ayce, and it was highly satisfactory. I enjoyed the variety of meats both spicy and non spicy, the ready to use tray of three different dipping sauces, the side dishes, a few orders of delicious steamed egg, and soup. There was nothing I did not enjoy. It was all very yummy. I love the level of interaction and getting to eat the meats right off the grill. Since we had 8 people in our party, we were able to use the private dining room. I would suggest going with at least 4 or more people so you can share the giant portions and order a variety of things. Our human server was very attentive and fast. Before we could ask, he would offer to switch out the grills for clean ones. It was really fun to have food brought out by robots! Amazing how they can dodge and go around people! I would 100% go back again ! read more

Overall we had a fantastic experience. We went on a Friday night at peak time and still had prompt service. Management, James P was our server and he's worth of a raise! He was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our first visit memorable. We were helped by 3 different people who were happy to oblige any requests for additional side dishes and meats, even though they weren't our assigned waiter. Side dishes were plentiful and turned out to be right in line with our favorites (pickled radish, broccoli, kimchi, japchae, fish cake, bean sprouts). We got combo B and got the cheese corn, soybean paste stew, and steamed egg. Out of the 3, steamed egg was a standout being moist and not overcooked. Meat quality was great for an AYCE place where we've found them to skimp in this area previously. We'd gladly come back again with friends. Another shout-out to James P - keep it up man. read more

It was pretty good but idk about this place. It's crowded and loud. Our server was really nice about all the extra cucumbers and stuff we asked for. It would be nice to have more amounts while cooking so you could eat it with the meat. And some more veggie options like zucchini or onions to throw on the grill. I go because my girlfriends like this place but it's not my jam read more

The first time we try to eat here was an epic fail because line was too long (soft opening), so we decided to go back on a random Thursday afternoon. The service was excellent, all of the staff are very accommodating. And the food? Uggh from the ban Chan up to all of the meat we got, it's been a while since I had some very good tasting meat. We got Set A for the sake of trying. We will definitely go back to try Set C! The robot is a nice touch too. read more

K BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

I got a bento box for lunch. The pork belly was a bit dry and overcooked. Overall the food was good but not fantastic when ordering off the menu. I'm willing to bet that the all you can hammer Korean bbq is a much better experience, so I will bring the girlfriend for dinner soon. read more

So it's KBBQ, not hard to mess up! But what really sets this place apart from me are the banchan & the service. The same kind woman has been our waitress a few times, she's such a good sport. She brought me pickled cucumber even though they weren't serving it that day, and she was a good sport about me spilling corn everywhere. I never feel like I have to wait long for an order, and someone is always checking if you need water, a new grill, or more food. I do wish that they didn't charge $17 for a bottle of $5 soju but such is life in a restaurant I guess. There is never loud music playing, it's clean, and I always looking forward to my next visit. read more

Love the food, fresh meet and tasty. Price is very reasonable and plenty choices of meets. Place is clean and staff are nice. Will be back

The place was awesome, service was great, meat was phenomenal. Charlie was awesome and helped us out a bunch during our meal.
