They offer a good variety of the Korean dishes, my favorite was the steamed egg dish which was tasty and seasoned well to go with rice.

The rush died down after 8pm but we went during the middle of the week, not sure how long the wait is on a weekend...

There are also a lot of choices of non-meat items - some things like vegetables that you can roast, but other things that don't need cooking at all.

They gave us free jugs of the mocktail, and were happy with any food requests, and changing the hotplate. We got the premium buffet, the sashimi was quite nice, although it wasn't the absolute freshest sashimi I've ever had, it was quite good. Salmon, Kingfish and tuna were on offer. Unfortunately I just don't think the meat is real Wagyu beef, it is not the melt in your mouth texture of the really good stuff. Some of the cuts were downright chewy. There is a lot of variety of other foods available in the buffet including a lot of fried stuff, which is quite good if you can grab it while it's fresh. For a "premium" experience, it is a little bit disappointing. Try to get a seat in the outside section if you can, as it seems a lot nicer (and roomier) there.

We get food here at least once or twice a week. My favourites are the chicken katsu roll, which is breaded chicken and cream cheese yummy yummy goodness, and the grilled salmon sushi. My husband's favourite is the sashimi don which is steamed rice topped with sashimi slices and vege and hot chili sauce. We also love the takoyaki and often have to fight with each other about who gets a bigger half of the serving. They have bento boxes costing $14-$17 which are really great value considering you get a main dish with rice, sashimi, sushi and a side salad. The rice dishes are good too but I kind of prefer those from Tatsuya. Yatai's sushi rolls are pretty big and I often have problem finishing one order so I always have something leftover to takeaway. Their sushi and sashimi sets are also great value, but as I don't eat raw sushi or sashimi, my husband can only look at other diners who order these with wide eyed jealousy as he has no one to share the massive set with. Quite often during the evening rush when commuters are coming home from work, the place gets packed but service is quick so you don't have to wait too long for a table. We always get a smile and greeting from everyone from the servers to the chefs/cooks in the kitchen when we come and we go and it just adds so much more to the experience. Couple that with the great tasting and affordable food makes this restaurant a real winner.

One of the best feature of Korean BBQ is the spectacle of side dishes. The amount and variety of…read morethese sides are overwhelming. They are free and can be replenished at anytime. The first time I discovered this was when I gave some empty bowls of finished side dishes to the waiter and to my surprise he came back with bowls of newly replenished sides. Some of these dishes include wilted greens seasoned with oil and garlic, seaweed salad, mashed potatoes and then there's the always present Kimchi which is a spicy fermented Chinese cabbage. Then, there's the novelty of cooking your own meat which you can eat with rice or wrapped with various elements on the table in leafy greens, and eaten with ssamjang sauce. Even if you don't feel like BBQ-ing, you can still enjoy an array of Korean dishes like the Seafood Pancake which was delicious, the traditional and a favourite of my husband, Bibimbap, dumplings and great selections of tasty Korean noodles. The two storey place means the's plenty of seating even during busy hours. Great service even when they're busy. The food comes out within minutes of ordering. And the staff ready to change your BBQ plate when needs be and one time I even had a staff helped me cut and BBQ the meat.

Even Korean, this is not the best in the area. However, it is affordable and a good place to sit with friends. Part of the problem is that the menu is quite limited. But the staff here are overly friendly! And they make you feel right at home. They have mainly beef and some pork. There is only one chicken. The sides are extensive and refilled when asked. They do have some dishes are not part of the BBQ. However they are not as good as the BBQ.

The place has really nice wood inspired decor, which makes the restaurant look new and clean. We ordered the spicy seafood tofu soup ($13), ox tendon soup ($13) and kimchi with pork belly soup ($13). Most Korean restaurants serve side dishes and they had 10 different side dishes! Awesome! The kimchi is very traditional, they added little shrimp to the spicy rub for that distant taste. The kimchi was a bit young (hasn't been marinated in the mix long enough for a strong flavour) but was edible. The soups were quite nice. They were rich in flavour and had plenty of seafood and tofu (though there wasn't a lot of pork belly). But are they the best I've ever had? Mmm maybe not. Still, it was good. The table next to ours had ordered the Ming bean pancake and it looked amazing - so I would try that one next time. The thing that gives this place an extra star was their service - nice and friendly!

How bout a yes to all those!? 678 is a good example of korean bbq with good food, staff and equipment. The coal briquettes give the meat a natural smokiness, while the high power vent sucks up the excess smoke so you don't smell like bbq for the next three days. Meat is fairly priced, and comes with a generous helping of side dishes. Scrambled eggs n cheesy corn comes on the side of the grill, cooking as your meat cooks.
