Had dinner here with my family and had a really great meal. I had the beef bulgogi in the sizzling stone pot and really liked that. Others in our party had the Spicy Chicken Bulgogi, Vegetable Fried Rice, and Yachae Bokkeum Bibimbap and everyone was very happy with their choices. Servers were very friendly and efficient. Fairly inexpensive, as well. Definitely recommend if you are looking for Korean food. read more

Wonderful experience. We were walking to find a place for supper and could smell this wonderful aroma coming from down the lane. Took a chance and wandered in. We were immediately welcomed and got the last table. The staff was awesome and explained all the options and how to prepare the meal. Could not have asked for better more attentive service. We had the combo for 2 with different slices of meat (beef chicken and pork). Where you cook the food on a grill in front of you and make lettuce wraps with flavorful toppings. We added some Kim chi and tofu be bim bop to the order for a wonderful night. Definitely recommend. read more

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Such a relief during my stay in Edinburgh! I enjoyed the food I had in the city, but Korean food really helped me out as a Korean person from LA. My family ordered pork belly (sangyupsal) and received a hefty portion. The service was quite good and the waiter quickly refilled our water and lettuce. The tofu teriyaki was incredible! Definitely my favorite take on it so far! It was cooked and served in the same style as bulgogi-- piping hot, marinated to perfection, bubbly, and super firm. read more

Korean BBQ - Teriyaki tofu, pork belly - Japanese Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Korean BBQ brings a wonderful authentic KBBQ experience to Edinburgh that I am very happy about. If you are new to the cuisine, it's a method of grilling meat such as beef, chicken or pork on gas or charcoal grills inlaid into the dining table itself. The self-cooking makes for a fun dining experience, especially in groups. To start off, they give you a salad and two banchans (beansprouts and carrots). This is very minimal from what I am used to in US, but better than nothing I suppose. The other banchans like kimchi cost extra money unfortunately. For food, our group of four ordered Set D - Assorted Meat (£41.90), Seafood Pancake (£6.80), Kimchi Jjigae (£9.50), Japchae (£9.50), and two Hite Beer (£3.50 each). This was a good amount of food for all of us, although I probably would skip on the Kimchi Jjigae as it was difficult to share as a group. It's still a great dish if you like spicy soup though, which also comes with a bowl of rice --good for individuals. The other dishes we ordered were very tasty from the seafood pancake to the japchae, which everyone enjoyed. Now of course the meat is the star of the show here. I like that you can order sets, which helps those who are indecisive and provide variety. Set D consisted of Beef Ribeye, Pork Belly, Beef Slice, Pork Neck Slice, Chicken Thigh, and 2 Beers, which is a good deal compared to selecting everything a la carte. My favorite types of meat, especially for KBBQ is beef and pork because chicken takes longer to grill. When you have to work for your food, you get more hungry and need it done quicker. I found that I love the marinated meats so much more here, so highly recommend those options if you were to go a la carte. The marinade in the meat gives it so much flavor, which goes wonderfully wrapped in the lettuce leaves and chili bean sauce. Overall, great authentic KBBQ spot. Since this is quite a rare find in this city, you will need to be sure to make a reservation a few days ahead on their website to ensure you get a table. Also note that KBBQ can leave a smoky and meaty smell lingering in your clothes, so don't be alarmed; but you'll find a tasty experience that makes it all worth it! read more

Stopped by here as we walked by. The food was delicious, got a chicken bibibowl was perfectly balanced for veggies, rice and chicken. Flavor was 10/10. The customer service was superb, very warm and friendly. I def recommend stopping by here for lunch or dinner. read more

I'm a huge fan of Korean food and have been in too many Korean restaurants to count in many cities (Dublin, Tokyo, Osaka, Austria, London, Manchester, Seoul etc..), and this one is a definite 5 star. It was very authentic, we were also the only two non-Korean people in the entire restaurant which was full and booked out for the night. We ordered the Kimchi pancake and tofu bibimbap, both of which tasted just like in Korea, I savoured every bite! Not all Korean restaurants outside Korea seem to give the complimentary starters, but Korean BBQ does, which was great. The prices were standard, each main ranging around £10-12. The service was efficient and good, no complaints. A word of warning, this place is extremely popular, even on weekdays. We came on a Saturday to find it booked out so I made a reservation the following Monday online, which was ok. While we were there, the place was a full house and the waitress was turning down those without reservations as it was booked out until around 8:30pm. The online booking is easy and quick, it fills up fast. I booked two days in advance for a Monday night, and the latest available was 6:30pm, with nothing available any later. So I advise booking quite a bit in advance or be ready to eat either early or late, as the 7-9pm times seem to get taken fast as the restaurant is small and seems to be very popular with Koreans in Edinburgh, meaning that it must be the real thing! read more

Summary: Korean BBQ that offers the bare basics. Meat quality is meh and the lack of a fire stove makes it feel third rate. Food: The beef is quite dry and has basically no marbling. However, the Pork belly and Chicken were quite good. Quality is subpar when compared to cult classics like KangHoDong Baekjong. It's also important to note that the stove used to bbq is electric, so don't expect the classic fire grilled flavor of Kbbq. Pricing: The pricing is definitely more on the pricier side once you consider the quality of meat you're getting. The quantities are good, but quantity doesn't justify the higher price. Service: The service is normal, nothing wrong but nothing spectacularly good. read more

I enjoyed eating at Korean BBQ. I'm pretty used to KBBQ joints from the ones back home in the DC area to well-known places in Seoul, and this place was pretty comparable overall! The staff was quite nice and prompt, especially when it came to changing out the grills. The meat was good (we got 2 sets and it fed 6 people comfortably). The grills cooked the meat nicely and I love when the fat on the pork belly gets crispy. Kimchi is extra but the banchan overall was pretty good even though it's not a lot. I really liked the marinated bean sprouts! As far as Korean BBQ goes, this is probably the best place in Edinburgh (according to my Edinburgh friends) and I can confirm it's a good place to get your fix! read more

The food to me was only okay, but it's fun to cook it yourself! I probably just ordered the wrong things. Friendly staff

This is a winner! Definitely very nice Korean BBQ, with Korean staff (unlike most other places run by Chinese). Well marinated and good selection of meats. Sides a little sparse but everything very tasty. read more

Korean BBQ - Free sides! - Japanese Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Even better than the ones I had in Asia, with a reasonable price and friendly staff. Rice in the stone bowl with raw beef is my all time favorite. Must try the bbq pork neck as well! I am so thrilled that I've finally found some decent Korean food in Edinburgh! read more

Absolutely amazing! I've missed cook it yourself grills from living in Thailand and this place lives up to the originals in SE Asia! Free and unlimited sides were a big plus and the big platter of meat was delicious. This place was so good that I booked a reservation for the next night whilst in the restaurant! read more

Awesome place. Food and service were great. It was a busy Friday night so we had to wait a bit to order but the food was delicious and our waiters (2 of them) did a nice job. Food was flavorful and not over salty. One small grip was that the hot tea we ordered was watered down. The picture covers it well. I'd return. read more

*Disclaimer! I'm Korean from Hawaii, lived all over the world and eat Korean food in every city I visit. My tastes probably differ from the average person who doesn't go out of their way to find good korean joints. !! So this is the top rated place for Korean food in Edinburgh...the set up is nice but the staff isn't as friendly as other places we've been. Upon walking in we first notice the aroma...so far so good! The waitress is Chinese (not that it matters), so don't be surprised if you don't get the normal "hello!" when walking in. Banchan () was ok, and more limited than when I'm used to back in the states -3 instead of 6 or 7 types. The traditional cabbage kim chee is a menu item and you have to pay for it. The mandu options were veggie or chicken...no pork?! Still yummy even if it wasn't the normal pork but they seemed to be store bought and not home made. Our drinks came out after 10 mins (just water and tea folks) the banchan. The meat itself looked good - we got the normal gal-bi and after cooking it on our little hibachi grill tasted the closest I've ever eaten outside of Hawaii that tasted like local Korean BBQ. The dolsot bi-bim-bap was spot on too and I liked how they put the shredded daikon kimchee in it. Oh, and it had a lot of beef in it too! This is in my top 5 of best korean food I've ever had - worldwide (Hawaii, Cali, VA and S. Korea food is better!) BLUF: Eat here if you want delicious Korean BBQ in Edinburgh. They offer the basics in what you'd see in S.Korea and Japan, but fall short of the extensive menu's I'm used to in Cali and Hawaii. read more

We are two tourists who ran out of cash during our last day in Edinburgh. After seeing the sign of accepting Visa card on the front door, we decided to try it. However, they told us they only accept cash and told us to withdraw at a nearby ATM after we are done with the meal. They didn't apologize or explain why, but repeatedly saying "CASH ONLY" even we told them there is going to be an expensive service fee if we use ATM. We are very disappointed at their attitude. It is literally CHEATING customers and violating VISA regulation. Plus, we felt they only did it because we are Asians and speaking Mandarin. Sad. Disappointed. read more

A VERY generous 1.5 stars. At the most. Food was yummy but it is near impossible to recommend a restaraunt that doesn't take the intiative to seat its customers quickly. We were a group of 10. While we understand that it takes a while to seat such a big group, 45 minutes (with some customers having already paid and just sat there chatting) is absolutely unacceptable. read more

This one beats all the Korean BBQ that I've ever had in NYC. The marinated beef set is very juicy and fresh. Trust me you will like it.

Easily one of the top three Korean BBQ places I have eaten worldwide (except Korea). If you are in Edinburgh do your self a favor and stop in for an authentic,delicious Korean meal. The owner was incredibly friendly and even gave up one of her tables to let our group spread out. Made a great evening read more

I'm a big fan of Korean food and bbq in particular and my go to place is usually Ong Gie for BBQ which is next door to this restaurant. However, one day Ong Gie was closed and we went to this "Korean BBQ" restaurant instead. Although the owners are not Koreans (as far as I can tell), I found the food absolutely delicious and of equal quality/price to Ong Gie which is run by Koreans. So in a nutshell if you usually go to Ong Gie for bbq but cannot get a table, don't hesitate to try out this restaurant, you won't be disappointed! Also since they are (so far) less busy, it might be easier to get a table for bigger party as well. read more

Went with a few friends, and adored the quality of the food and service here. Not only was our waitress delightful, she loved teaching my friend who had never been to Korean BBQ about the way it's done. The marinade for the Galbi and bulgogi was divine and the samgyeopsal (Pork belly) was the perfect thickness. Will definitely be going here again. read more

The staffs are so nice, and the food was delicious! I love it, best Korean restaurant in Edinburgh !

Came across this place whilst walking and decided to stop in, great food for a reasonable price! They are CASH ONLY.

This place really needs some love - it doesn't look like much from the outside but inside it is cozy and has an undeniable Korean style. BBQ is the biggest selling point here (chilli marinated pork is amazing) but other meals on the menu are great too, plus following Korean meal tradition you get free sides/starters too! read more
