    This place is a pretty good deal. For dinner AYCE BBQ is only $30. Unlimited meat and they are so generous in the meat. I enjoyed cooking the food myself. Good food and very good service. The menu is a bit simple for the AYCE. There are only about 9 different meat selection to choose from and for me because I don't eat spicy, I only have 5 choices. Overall, I enjoyed having dinner here. There are free parking in front. So that is a plus. Thumbs up to this AYCE BBQ dinner buffet place.

    Korean food in Calgary, never imagined, but there was one.. As we walked in, banchans were welcoming us on each table. Then came pretty red thin sliced beef, then a pot of veges to dip beef. Shabushabu. Beef was good. They say Alberta beef is the best, who knew? Young waiters were serving us efficiently. Everyone's craving for Korean food by then, it was kinda a special treat. Some Koreans have to eat rice and kimchee always and anywhere.

    Wow, I haven't had good Korean BBQ in the longest time. Time flies - it's been over two years, the last time was straight from the motherland of South Korea. Anyways, we were hankering for some all you can eat Korean BBQ goodness so we hit up Seoul Korean BBQ. A no frills, grungy from the outside looking restaurant - aka. my kind of joint. We went on a Saturday evening and the place was busy. Lucky for us, we didn't have to wait and were seated right away. My poor sis, she couldn't eat 99% of the menu (no gluten/no egg) so she had to settler for a soft tofu dish while she watched us devour through the all you can eat (AYCE) menu ($26.95/person). The AYCE menu consists of 9 meat selections, 4 side dishes, rice and onion salad. The ban chan (side dishes) were decent (potato, kim chi, bean sprouts). Our favourite was definitely the marinated bean sprouts, yum. They also bring you a small bowl of sweet Korean hot sauce and a side of lettuce wraps (if you want to make lettuce wrap sandwiches). We tried all 9 of the different types of meat (beast mode) and my favourite was the spicy pork bulgogi and deep fried chicken. The deep fried chicken was really good - good sauce, crunchy but felt nice and light. Not your typical deep fried chicken. Pork bulgogi was nice and spicy, just the way I like it. Pork belly had so much fat on it, it was ridiculous! We were definitely disgusted by all the fat grease oozing out but that's pork belly for you! Anyways, service was good (they came to switch out our BBQ grills several times) and food was tasty. We ended the meal with these Korean sweet mini drinks (not sure what they were called) but was a perfect way to end our meal.

    Only ate one round, did not get to eat second round, the employees did not give what I need and they are very busy. I don't recommend to go here.

    Beef bulgogi, spicy chicken, pork belly, kalbi, ribeye

    Went here for all you can eat Korean BBQ last Friday, without a reservation I might add, but I only had to wait for about 10 minutes before getting seated. We had the choice of cooking our own meat or having the kitchen do that for us and we chose to let the kitchen take care of it! I was so hungry that if I had tried to cook anything, I might have just eaten it raw so this was a good choice haha We ordered kalbi, beef bulgogi, spicy chicken, ribeye and pork belly. On the menu, there was also fried chicken, spicy pork and pork ribs. The portion sizes of each of these items was about a fist but its very variable because the second round of kalbi was much less. With all the side dishes that came along with our orders, this was a lot of food. The side dishes that we had was salad, potatoes, kimchi, fish cakes, and soybean sprouts. Amongst the meat - I liked the kalbi the best - it was tender and perfectly sauced. The pork belly was too fried and was hard to bite as a result. Among the side dishes, the potatoes were definitely my favourite. The cost was $28 per person and there is a charge of $10 if any item that was ordered was not eaten. At the end, I liked that they gave us the yogurt probiotic drink to wash it all down! Overall, I really liked this place, the servers are nice and the food was really good. I would go back just for the kalbi!

    Seoul Korean BBQ is popular for their all you can eat menu. You have a choice of spicy chicken, LA kalbi, pork belly, pork shoulder, etc. You also get side dishes and rice with your AYCE order. I recently heard that refills on your side dishes are not free. I haven't had this problem as I have never needed refills on my side dishes. This would be a negative since all Korean restaurants I have been do free refills on their side dishes. AYCE is pretty good, especially the kalbi and pork belly. You can ask to have the meat cooked at the back instead, if you don't want to smell like grilled meat at the end of your meal. The a la cart menu is also good, but not exceptional. They also have a set menu, that I would not recommend. We have tried it multiple times and we have always left disappointed and thinking that we should have just have the AYCE. The set menu gives you an array of dishes, but the assortes grilled seafood part of it is lacking quiet a bit and all we could taste was the residue of the seafood being frozen. The service is good and the orders come in quickly. Although our last 2 visits out water took too long to get filled and the servers did not visit our table until almost the end of our meal. Overall, I think Seoul Korean BBQ is good, but definitely not the best korean bbq in Calgary. I would recommend to just stick with the AYCE to get your moneys worth.

    Wow talk about amazing Korean food. The place must have over 60 tables and on Friday night it was packed. A good ethnic restaurant is amazing when you see people from its ethnic community in it. Believe me there were not only Koreans here but also tons of Filipinos, Viets and Chinese. We had a great BBQ combination for 2 to 3 people that cost 69 dollars and the value of this is amazing as we ate over 16 dishes. I am not too familiar with Korean food so it was like travelling to another country. First of all the place is really nice, very open and has high ceilings and great colors. The furniture is modern and there are separated areas so you feel like you are in separate rooms. You have the option of cooking the meal at your table and because none of us although Asian knew how to cook Korean food we choose the cooked option. Every plate soon just came flowing out, everything was so fresh and well presented, let me outline our meal. First you get the appetizers, the kim chee, spicy daikon, mackeral in tomato sauce and collard greens and lettuce. I found alot of this too spicy but nonetheless I tried it anyways, and I used the lettuce kind of like a taco to eat everything. Radish and green pepper with sweet and sour garlic sauce, soy weed soup , seafood pancake or bulgogi japche, stir fried noodles with marinated beef, marinated beef rib, marinated beef bulgogi, marinated chicken bulgogi, marinated spicy pork bulgogi, marinated short ribs, mussels, prawns and squid. Overall an amazing price for so much food, I would definitely go back again.

    A big fan of this place as a lunch quick and dirty @ 19.99 per person for all you can eat! Also try the onion dressing salad was actually much better than anticipated!

The exterior of the building appears that it is situated in an old house, which definitely adds to the charm. The staff greeted me an led me to a table on the upper floor. Immediately, I noticed that most parties in here were large and the portions were family style. Definitely something that I wish I had brought friends to and not just come in as a solo diner. However, the staff did not make me feel weird about this at all. I ordered a Lychee Time cocktail and a Rose Rice Cake curry. They brought out an included kimchee plate, which was certainly enough for 4 people. The Rose Rice Cake dish was the same, enough for 2-4 people to share. Both the kimchi and the curry were amazing, I enjoyed both immesely. My only complaint was that my drink was far too sweet, I had to water it down to finish it. When it came time for my inevitable leftovers, the staff had great suggestions for reheating and I was even able to purchase udon to go for the leftovers. Amazing homey experience that I would recommend to anyone in town (preferably with friends!).

My craving must have been intense because I didn't even think about it and started my long walk there. The layout of the restaurant is interesting. The bathroom is in the basement, the first floor is a bit small but has some tables, and the second floor has most of the dining area space. Interior decoration was pretty minimal but there was kpop playing and it was a bit dark in there so if you're looking to get a few drinks and Korean food with some friends, this would be a great spot. When I was sat at my table and I looked through the menu, the first thing that popped in my head was that they had quite an extensive menu. From army stew, bibimbap, bulgogi, and what I decided to get Dakgalbi (marinated chicken bbq). The Dakgalbi was really good and marinated well. I wasn't expecting the fried rice at the end to come with it like in Korea which was also really good. The only critique I have regarding the food is that there weren't that many side dishes (banchan) and the lettuce on the side was an extra $5. Service was on point. Thu and the woman server, I forgot her name, worked well as a team to make sure everyone was taken care of even though they had to walk up and down those stairs probably 10+ times just when I was there.

The inside is also rather small, they seat maybe 7 tables each with 2-4 people per table. There's tons of traditional Korean decorations everywhere. The staff is also all Korean and greet you in Korean. There's unlimited high quality purple bean rice. The sides are nothing to write home about other than the macaroni salad. They had an interesting take on it by adding imitation crab - I'm not sure I liked that part. Otherwise it's similar to the chain BCD tofu. The ever popular seafood pajeon (a pancake-like dish) is made extremely thick and therefore isn't crispy at all like pajeon normally is. I don't really recommend this item. Interestingly there's a bulgogi dish with vegetables and noodles (thin, clear). Makes the dish much more hearty. The flavor and quality was pretty good. Seafood tofu soup. They do a great job of making it spicy if you ask. The flavoring has that umami feel. Overall, not overwhelmingly amazing. A bit on the pricey side. They do have a very wide range of menu items and some pretty authentic items that aren't normally regularly provided in Korean restaurants. Service is fine - didn't meet anyone rude or anyone particularly amazing either.

Although the kongbul was delicious on its own, the highlight of the meal were actually the side dishes - they were some of the tastiest side dishes I've ever had at a Korean restaurant. Each was full of flavour and fresh, and tasted home-cooked. Our server was friendly and attentive and was quick to refill our side-dishes and waters.
