I haven't been here in years! The last time I was back when they were still at its original locations so coming here was nostalgic. At this location, I remembered it to be much bigger than how I remembered! At Picnic garden, everything is buffet style. There's a section for cooked food and there's a section for the bbq food. In the cooked section, my favorite was the kimchi pancake and the seafood pancake. My favorite meats were the galbi and bulgogi, but something that surprised me was their squid! read more

Picnic Garden - Barbeque Near Me - Flushing, New York

My husband loves this place but for me, there is much left to be desired. While the newer location is quite modern and clean, the grill size is really disappointing. I've been to many other k bbq restaurants, even those without a buffet, where even for 2 people the grills are 3 times the size. For 90 minutes, you simply don't have enough time to grill what you could because it's so small. They also seem a bit understaffed and although the servers were nice, they didn't have much time to help with the meat cooking like I've seen in other restaurants. It's kind of a free for all. The price is competitive, however. And the array of appetizer and side options is a huge plus. I know I'll be back, but there's definitely room for improvement. read more

All you can eat Buffet style! I'm fond of this food | service | atmosphere and options. You can also make your own sauce! Options include: *raw meat (you choose yourself to cook) *cooked entrees (already prepared) *veggie | rice | soup station Been going here for yearsss and still counting lol. *street parking only read more

We arrived around 8pm on a Saturday and got seated right away with no reservation. It was crowded but service was on top of it. Constantly checking in, refilling the meats and hot food, and clearing plates away. We never had to wait to get food. There was always a stack of clean plates and a ton of meat selection. It can get pretty noisy but that's part of the charm. Our smoke vent was kind of weak but that might just have been our table. Food selection is standard at a kbbq. They had kalbi, bulgogi, pork shoulder, etc. Dinner time has more options so we got to try to pork jowl which was delicious and another pork item that was also very good. The only thing lacking here is the hot food bar. The kimchi and seafood pancakes and the dumplings are really the only things worth getting (and white rice). The rest of it, I tried a bite but would skip if I return. We paid about $57 per person after tax and tip. There's no parking so we had to go a block away since it's a busy area. read more

One of our favorite AYCE KBBQ spots! Great quality food with a good selection of classic KBBQ meats. Came here on a Friday night around 8pm for 4 people, and there was no wait. Highly recommend their kalbi and beef brisket! They also have a nice variety of prepared food items to eat while you're waiting for your food to cook (e.g., white rice, soup, kimchi and scallion pancakes, fried dumplings, fried chicken wings and japchae). The staff occasionally help you cook the food (especially for the galbi) which is nice so you can focus on eating. For dinner, it was $41 per person. Drinks not included. Been coming here for years, and will continue coming back to get our KBBQ fix! read more

Returned after almost two years on a Sunday evening. The raw meat quality seem less, some of the cuts of meat are thinner and not whole steaks or large. I actually ate more cooked food from the buffet table then usual. Maybe it's the end of the weekend or end of Sunday? Important: check your bill carefully, they added 18% tip onto the bill automatically and they requested more tip so if I didn't see the added tip then you will double tip them read more

TLDR: You get, they cook. Good selection of meats and sides and good times. Grill changes without asking, but note that once the fire is off, it is off. If you want last minute egg or corn, make sure to grab it! Note: The ice cream tastes funny, would not recommend. - - - - - - Solid KBBQ spot with some nice meats and excellent service. There are no limits to what you can eat, but only take what you can eat (don't waste food, or you pay for what you can't finish). There are several areas to grab items from hot foods to raw meats to pre-prepped corn cheese and egg. After you've selected all the meats that you'd like to eat, a server comes by to cook and serve you. Grill changes? Automatic! Some standout items are their kalbi and brisket; they even have some other common items such as bulgogi, though those were not too tasty. There was a time where meat was accidentally burnt, but the server's quick wit and sass made it a comedic scene than an awkward moment. In comparison to the busier KBBQ of SoCal (iykyk) the music here isn't quite loud, and it's quite nice for enjoying casual conversations with friends. After you eat, there is an option for ice cream, but I would not recommend it, as it has a funny taste read more

Was so excited to go here but not a great experience. It's Korean bbq but had the worst bulgogi I've ever had. Fatty, not chewable, not edible. So disgusting. I want to vomit thinking about it. I liked that they had a buffet of meats to choose from. Very few places let you do that. And they had lots of dishes on their buffet. Unlike other spots like NYC K-BBQ they didn't cook any meat for us, I was so excited to go here but I don't plan to eat here again. I can't even consider this a real Korean bbq spot because the bulgogi was so disgusting, read more

First time here. So delicious. Huge variety of meats and veggies. Service was friendly and fast. Even though its buffet, our waitress kept an eye on our grill to change it often when needed. She also cut our short ribs when she saw it was needed. Plenty of seafood to grill too but I stuck to the marinated meats, rice and string beans. Plenty of side snacks too such as wings, rice noodles and classic Korean dishes. Weakest point was dessert. Having been to many Chinese buffets, I've come to appreciate the soft serve icecream, sprinkles, small cakes and jellos. Their dessert was Hershey vanilla icecream Dixie cups. I had some fruit cocktail off the salad section, which was very tasty but my sweet tooth was not satisfied. :-) Barring this one, Picnic Garden was excellent and I would absolutely go back. Do expect to have your clothes and hair smelling like grill when you get home. Some people bring large garbage bags for their coats in the winter. Just a pro tip. All in all, I would recommend Picnic Garden for its delicious meats and large variety of foods. I will be coming back for sure. Sorry no pics. Too busy eating. read more

All you can eat BBQ! Countless variety of meats. My boyfriend LOVES meat and this place is perfect. The meat is seasoned and you cook it yourself. The service is good. They come around and change out the grill often so the meat doesn't get messed up while cooking. read more

The last time I was here was in high school. Recently came here again for a birthday party The only good thing I would say is the LA galbi. I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the meat for the other stuff. Especially at this price point. I've had better at other places for less. The one thing that really got me is their "ribeye". I was excited to try it because I wanted to try just beef without seasoning so that I can try the quality. The "ribeye" was definitely not ribeye. The chew on it had a similar texture as liver. Another thing is that the tongs to grab the meat are all kinda sticky or have some residue. I was definitely not a fan of that as well The service was great and they were great about changing grills. The servers were all friendly as well I don't think I'll be coming back here If we're looking at just the food, it would be 2 stars but the servers make it a 3 star read more

Met some family for an early dinner. Apparently they come on a regular basis and love their short ribs. They did not disappoint. Nice selection of meats, vegetables and some seafood. It's all you can eat but they are a little pricy. The staff were super attentive, clearing plates or replacing the bottles of water. Overall wonderful time with the family and some really good food. read more

I have been coming here from time to time but it's definitely been a while since the last time I was here . One thing i notice is the change of the cooked dishes that they no longer carry my favorite pig feet dish which was a big let down . I guess they have attracted a lot of non Asian customers that no one eat they dish any more . I wish they would bring it back one day ! The service was good as the waitress makes her rounds to bbq for us. My kids enjoyed their food and the desserts . Will definitely come back again in the future . read more

We made reservations for Sat night and surprisingly it wasn't necessary. It wasn't packed and we were promptly seated. We asked for a garbage bag to put our jackets in but keep in mind - you're going to smell like smoke and bbq. Lots of meat to choose from as well as banchans. $41 AYCE on a Saturday night is a steal. Great service - can work on their dessert options. read more

Compared with the same Picnic Garden brand, but this place was far more better than other locations in NJ - All meats marinated in Korean sauce style - Fried chicken drum was so testy - many sides of sauce and seasoning - Ambiance was large dining table and a lot more around restaurant The price is acceptable! I highly recommended to all people. read more

Ambiance (5/5): There's street parking in the neighborhood but expect to drive around until you find something. The establishment is huge! We were immediately seated at around 8p on a Monday. Service (5/5): The servers constantly walk around to help cut up the meat, cook it, and change out the burners. Food: The concept is all you can eat and serve yourself meat stations. There is also an already cooked appetizer section with a variety of salads, japchae noodles, chicken wings, fries, scallion pancakes, steamed mussels, cooked rice, spring rolls, etc. There's a variety of veggies and cuts of meats (pork, beef, mussels, shrimp, lamb, fish, ALL OF IT!) A large selection of sauces and pre-made sauces as well. The cup of Hersey's ice cream at the end was lackluster but I can't complain. Everything tasted fresh. We were happy and full when we left! Highly recommend. read more

I don't know where to start. This price is every affordable. All you can eat. The attendants are so nice and constantly walk around to help people cook their food. I came here by myself and they asked me to pay first before sitting, which I didn't mind. But if you're with other people you pay after. I have zero complains about anything. Everything is fresh and delicious. From the assortment of beef to pork, kimchi and vegetables, there's just so many options to mix and match and create whatever meal you're craving. read more

Food (4/5): Buffet selection of some hot prepared foods in addition to the raw meat for Korean BBQ on the grill. My favorites were the corn cheese, spicy sausage, spicy bulgogi, and brisket. The other options were alright and some of the meat was tough. Venue (4/5): Nice venue with a lot of space and each table had decent quality grills. Music and lights were quite loud and active. Service (4/5): I've come here in the afternoon when it's not busy and for dinner when it was really busy. The first time we got good attentive service but for the busy dinner service it seemed like they were understaffed. We didn't frequently get our grills changed, they didn't have time to come over and help cut meats, and water was infrequently refilled. read more

Hello I'm a customer here and I feel very uncomfortable here because when I brought my SERVICE dog they were eyeing us the whole time and circling our table. When I first sat down they immediately told me if I feed my dog ANYTHING, they would charge me full price of an ADULT, not even a child. The employees also were very judgmental towards every action I was doing and everything I said. The food was also MID and their music taste is VERY ASS. Additionally it was extremely hot throughout this building and they did not provide air conditioning in this HOT weather (91 degrees). Overall if I was able to rate this 0 stars I would but I can't in order to make this review. read more

Our group of 9 had dinner on Sunday night. The bill already included a gratuity but the staff didnt mention it, and the receipt still showed a tip guide for adding more. We ended up paying double tips without realizing it until after we paid. Very disappointing how dishonest the restaurant is. When giving the bills to customers, they should inform the gratuity already included or they just want to misleading customers to pay double tips! read more

Love this place. Food is great. I love how they never rush me to eat. They let you enjoy at your own pace. Love that I can grab what I want when I want it and not have someone always on top of my family and I asking what else do we want or if we are done eating. Def recommend read more

Pretty much self service , the waiters forget about you upon arrival. We weren't really tended to and didn't know how things worked so we just figured it out along the way. It would've been nice to know how things work and how to do things. Food was okay couldn't really mess up because we indeed were in charge read more

Love this spot. I have been coming to this KBBQ since i was a little girl. They were originally down a few streets but relocated into a more modern, spacious area. If you come with cash it's cheaper. I promise you you won't be disappointed. You have 90mins of all you can eat and all the food is fresh. If you love all you can eat or KBBQ this is the spot to go. #1 By the way if you have kids who are tall even though it's to 13 years old, they also go by height. So if the child is 5ft tall they will pay adult prices. read more

I came here with my friend on a Friday afternoon, and we were seated immediately after the staff told us it would be $40/person (ended up being $50/person after tax and tip). The restaurant is buffet style, so everything ranging from different cuts of raw pork, beef, chicken to seafood to side dishes (banchan) to hot foods (fried chicken, rice cakes, noodles) to vegetables were set up. Meats included intestines, marinated and unmarinated, LA galbi, short ribs. The variety was very large, but the quality and flavor were not great. You also have 90 minutes to eat. We got LA galbi, beef short ribs, spicy pork, pork belly, beef intestines, and corn cheese. The LA galbi was not very flavorful despite being marinated and was somewhat tough to eat. The pork belly was dry and very fatty with little meat in the cuts. Since the staff cook everything for you, they would walk away and forget, leaving the meats over cooked, dry, or burnt. This is what happened to the pork belly and galbi. The beef intestines were not cleaned at all, so there was a lot of grit and mid-digested food in the centers. This is not healthy or sanitary. The spicy pork was cooked nicely and very flavorful and tender. Same with the beef short ribs. The corn cheese lacked any sweetness but was decent. My favorites were the spicy pork and beef short ribs. Overall, I would not go back to this place. For the quality and the price, it was not worth it. I ended up paying $50 which could be spent on a restaurant with higher quality meats and service. I was disappointed to say the least and would recommend going to a different Korean bbq place. read more

I think this is the best bang for your buck for an ayce kalbi spot in flushing. The quality is pretty good for an ayce and the selection is vast. Service is on point and the staff is so nice! Definitely a fun spot for dinner with a large group of friends. read more

I love this restaurant! My favorite cut of meat at K-BBQ is kalbi (marinated beef ribs) and Picnic Garden does it right! The self-serve buffet is loaded with fresh side items including an array of Korean classics and banchan. The service is hit or miss but nothing to complain about overall. The servers come by to cut the meat during the barbecue process. Besides Kalbi, this place offers all of the traditional Korean sliced meats and proteins. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to fill up and enjoy delicious all-you-can eat Korean BBQ. read more

Food and selections are always good but the service today was terrible the waitress with the pink hair was rude and nasty, our dirty plates piled up and didn't get picked up. I was so thirsty I had to go to the corner deli for a water on my way out because she never filled out water. She never offered us the free dessert we paid for that was included with the price To many new places in the area to try, we won't be back here that's for sure... read more

Huge improvement from the last time I went here a couple years ago. I went today and the 3 Korean ladies were quick and nice and constantly cutting my meat and next to me. The food also tasted better and there seemed to be more variety as well. Price did increase though , I remember it was a lot cheaper but it's understandable as everything went up not just here. But I think 50 per person is way too high for the food here after tips. Be sure not to put too much food on your plate though as I unexpectedly got full after a couple plates of meat quicker than I thought I would (a few of the meats didn't fit my taste) , luckily I finished it all but there is a fee if you don't finish most of your food. I don't regret coming here but wouldn't come back just because of the price. Everything else was great! read more

The hot food for the crap only have one leg left and I sit here for almost 2 hours. They never refill the tray. We have to ask for the lettuce. The food looks terrible. It doesn't taste good at all. For $40 they have very Limited options for food. No longer coming back here. read more

I came here a few times pre and post-lockdown. I recently came here on a Tuesday night at 7pm. This is an AYCE Korean BBQ place in Murray Hill, Queens. We paid ~$158 for 4 people including tax and tip. Service - Minimal interaction with the servers. This place is a buffet style. The food (raw and cooked) are all in the middle of the room and you grab the food yourself. For the raw food, you cook it yourself at the table. They do come around frequently to change your grill which is nice. Food - For AYCE, the meat is pretty good. My favorites were the LA galbi. The thick galbi had too much tendon but was still decent. Both were flavorful and tender. I like that they gave a basket of lettuce for you to wrap the meat with. The veggies were good! The steak was kind of flavorless. Overall, I usually have a good experience here. read more

The price per person is now $40, basically for self-serve AYCE meats that have been deliciously marinated Korean-style. In the limited seafood department are mussels, shrimp and squid. The red meat and poultry depts are a bit more vast, including bulgogi, short ribs, kalbi, chicken wings, etc. There really isn't much else there, besides raw meat. Cooked food selections were soup, fries, fried chicken, jap chae and fried rice, but nothing else that stood out to me. An area I see improvement in is the bbq tray that we self-service and cook our meats on. That tray is so small, it barely fits much meat. Even worse, a staff comes by to switch it off very frequently, which can be disruptive. They also need to add more cooked food selections and maybe another ice cream flavor just so everyone isn't stuck with vanilla lol read more

Giving out 1star but highly recommend everyone to go so you may experience the worst service in NYC. People always say (a good restaurant makes you feel like home) , but this place will definitely makes you feel how you are going to put down your money asap and get kicked out by them. I loved Picnic garden since it was at it's previous location , but now the service and management there just opened my eyes. At the moment i walked in, i expected a greetings like (welcome/good evening/how many? ...etc.) Unfortunately, the first sentence from the front desk was (you only have 90minites for dining, is it ok?) It is a Wednesday night, not busy at all. The place was about 50% occupied, but they got the point. It's ok, acceptable for me. The host guided us to our table, we started to eat. Our server did her job, cutting the meet, changing the grill plate for us but never say a word. Even i found out the lettuce are dry without washing and had insects on it, and put it right on the table next to my plate. She didn't ask or care about anything. After an hour (60-65minutes) When we were just thinking about can we actually communicate with her in English. Finally the first sentence she spoke to us "If you still want some more meats better get it now" We answered "it's all right" and grill heater got shut off. 5-10minutes later (80minutes in total now). The front desk came again and gave us the bill. It's fine because it's about the time and we were finishing our last dish, then get a icecream/fruit salad and pay for the bill with a good tips. We were still having a good time and didn't want to ruin the mood. Only ONE minute after. The front desk came again and said, (Sorry. you have to pay now.) I was like...huh? my last is still eating and i still didn't get a chance to get my icecream yet. At the moment we were confused about what's going on, there are still many empty tables there and we didn't pass 90 minutes yet. Here She came again and said " You have to pay now or it will be extra charge!" This action causes me really upset and i checked on the bill. We entered at 7:08PM and they kicked us out before 8:30pm when the place is 50% occupied. The front desk explained to me they have to make sure to notice customers 5minutes earlier. Well, i never seen a place has to be so straight to the 90mins time limits and start to kick customers out 10mins before. I was being asked to pay for 3TIMES and warned for extra charge. The funny thing is , at the moment i put down money i realized i still have 8mins left. This place is a joke. I'm cancelling my gathering there on next month and not going back for sure. Good Luck everyone read more
