This was my first time having Korean Cuisine (at least, I think so)…read more We had some time in between meetings so, we decided to sit and take the time to do the "cook at the table" menu. The meal my coworkers ordered included some meats, vegetables, and a fish soup. The soup was extremely hot but, once it was safe to taste it, it was delicious. Hearty, flavorful, really good! I'm not sure if you are allowed to cook the meats yourself but, our server did it all for us, explaining the right way to do it, and how to tell when all is cooked. I really enjoyed the process, I've always loved watching people cook and open kitchen restaurants so, this was fun for me. On top of that, everything was cooked perfectly and all tasted so fresh. They also had a sort of mini salad bar on the side, with some few items for you to help yourself from. I only tried the pumpkin soup. I was a little hesitant at first but loved it. It's creamy, a little sweet plus, it's pumpkin so, you feel like it's good for you. If I'd known of this before I had all the food on our table, I would have had seconds. Do note, the two servers we had did not speak English. Thankfully I was with locals so they helped me order, if not, I'm sure pointing at the pictures in the menu (those are helpful) would have done the trick.

I always hit up Sorabol's TST branch with my family -- it offers a fantastic KBBQ selection and has…read morea mad cozy atmosphere, making it great for groups. Though Sorabol's Causeway Bay branch seems to be more popular, you'll still need reservations to chow down in TST - you're not missing out! As a party of five, we ordered a pretty wide selection of side dishes including two types of kimchi (which were later refilled four times - for free!). We began the main part of the meal with one portion of the Sliced Beef Chuck Flap, two of the Marinated Top-Grade Short Ribs, and a basket of lettuce to accompany them. A server usually comes by to prepare the barbecue dishes, but it was apparent that the restaurant was quite understaffed, strangely enough on a Friday night, so we cooked them ourselves. That being said, the quality of the beef was sick, being perfectly tender with a tang of sweetness. Its marinade made it sweet enough so that it would've tasted great without any additional flavoring, but also mild enough so that it got even better with a dipping sauce of sesame oil and fine sea salt. The Seafood Pancake was just the right amount of crispy with plenty of seafood per slice, and it came with a nicely curated soy sauce with scallions, sesame seeds, and fresh chili slices. When it came time for the Seafood Noodles Hot Pot, however, it took quite a while to get someone to come and cook it (they got distracted multiple times), and they forgot to return when it was finished. Overall, I'd say this: the friendly attitude of Sorabol's service was great for our experience despite the shortage of help. The price you pay, though relatively higher than some other KBBQ joints, is pretty reasonable considering the value you get in food quality. Will definitely be back!

Full disclaimer: I love the Koreans…read more Rolled on through for a dank dinner with no expectations. Was in constant communication with my Korean homie throughout the dinner for advice on what to order and how to eat. They have a great soju selection ranging from cheap stuff to REALLY high end stuff so I was intimidated and just went for a good old rona x Yakult mix. See pictured. Food itself was pretty solid. I've had better meat but also worse. The service was also outstanding - the folks were very attentive and friendly and even gave a coupon and membership card so we'd come back! This is why I love the Koreans. Don't order too much food. It's more than it looks on the menu. I was completely stuffed by the end of the meal! Would definitely come again with a shiny new membership card in tow.

It was a Korean Resturant with no Koreans eating in it. Afterwards, I understood why. The food…read moretasted okay so it was not the Kitchen. But they were not getting the small but obvious things right. When the BBQ meats are in pieces too large to consume, the waiter is supposed to cut it for us before it goes on the grill. When we run out of the condiment dishes, they are supposed to bring them automatically. There was one token Korean lady who may have been the manager. The rest was HK Chinese or Pilipino or Nepalese who did not know how Korean food is supposed to be served. The building/location was cool & the place was nicely decoration. And again the food was good. But I still don't think I'm going back there. Li Fa Yuen & Ming Ga is much better.

They offers basic Korean lunch…read moresets like: bimbimbap, kimchi soup, tofu pot, grilled beef/port/chicken with rice... etc. They offer the usual Korean appetizer dishes with the lunch sets. The three of us came here around noon to beat the crowd. Lunch appointment is recommended if you come for lunch around 1pm. We ordered Bimbimbap with beef, Korean Sausage Soup, and Beef Short Rib Stew. The Bimbimbap is as expected, you can request to add the spicy sauce by yourself when they served the food. The best part of the Bimbimbap was the rice crisps at the bottom of the pot at the end of your meal. Very crispy and it socked up all the flavors from the dish. The Korean Sausage Soup was listed with 1 star of spiciness, but it was definitely spicier than expected. I liked spicy food myself, but the spiciness seemed to have taken over the dish. I couldn't taste much of other flavors and was busy wiping sweat of my forehead. The Beef Short Rib Stew is one of my favorites Korean dish. It's usually very juicy and tender in the sweet beef broth. However, the Beef Short Rib Stew served today was a bit too oily.

During our trip to Hong Kong recently, we happened to find this restaurant while walking around…read moreSheung Wan Station. We were so hungry so we thought we were lucky to find some Korean food! The first thing that made me suspicious was that none of the workers were Korean. Next, the food was relatively expensive. $100 HK per dish? The meat in the galbi-tang was tough and chewy and my yuk-ae-jang was flavorless, but my wife's daeng-jang-jigae was ok. Maybe the other dishes were better, but if you're dying for Korean food ... just eat Chinese food until you go back home.

Dinner in Hong Kong…read more.. After a long day of shopping, we truly were HUNGRY! I had already decided in my mind to eat kalbi. It was 96HK$ and came with a bowl white rice. The tasty kalbi (not the best quality) arrived on a sizzling platter along with some Korean mochi sticks (tteokbokki) that weren't spicy! Yay! They had a nice crisp outer layer from the caramelization of the teriyaki sauce. The inside of the tteokbokki was soft and comfortingly chewy. Service was efficient. We ordered and paid at the counter. Our food was brought to us. There wasn't much interaction because of the language barrier. The shop was clean and bright with lime green chairs and accaccents. We appreciated the air-conditioning and seat-yourself, casual style. No reservation needed!

Hungry for Korean…read more.. After stumbling on this place on our way back from lunch at a nearby Italian restaurant it was decided that this would be dinner woohoo! Located on Ashley Road where there are many other restaurants as well this cozy place just simply stood out especially since menu items here are below $98HK and though the Kalbi ribs sounds like the protein packed nutritious I'm craving it was the Jap Chae which was made to order and served hot with carrots, spinach, beef and scrambled eggs at $44HK which is about $6.20 is the portion is small but was just the right size the keep me fueled to explore. This modest shop has a decent amount of seating and you need to order at the counter which the staff will bring out to your table which is nice and clean and the much needed break in this lovely air conditioned restaurant that what a lucky discovery. Thank you!

The service is fast and simple. Menu is very simple as well. Food, even for the spicy kind, is not too spicy. The lunch box included lot of varieties, such as fruits, pickled vegetables, purple rice, and meat of choices. And it comes with tea. Only problem is that when you really want to eat Korean food, you might want to visit somewhere else for a complete authentic Korean food experience. This place is kind of like a fast food place. Overall, it is very healthy choice, considered to be least spicy and least salty than most Korean restaurant offers. And service is fast.

AYCE Korean Fusion BBQ located in Domain Mall near the exit of the Eastern Harbour Tunnel, with its…read moreown parking at the mall, it makes a great location if you have seniors or kids in the family! Price for lunch is so amazing! HK$128.00 + 10% service charge (US$17.85 including service charge) per adult ( includes drinks: Pop, Juices, Fruit Teas, even Beer! ) after dinner you can also order freshly brewed coffee! They also have a great selection of ice cream, ice cream bars, Korean ice creams and more!! Great selection of soups to start, then you have fried chicken, tempura vegetables, Japanese Cold Udon or Soba, various kinds of salads and more! Meat are all cut to smaller pieces for easy grilling, I do think their marination is typical Hong Kong style rather then Korean style, but that is totally ok with me, as it is also very tasty and well done. Service is prompt and also staffs are helpful in clearing our plates, and offering clean ones etc. I am surprised to see such level of service in a AYCE type restaurant. For the price you pay, I am not going to nitpick too much, as long as decent service with good selection of food for you to choose from, I am already ahead of the game!

This is Korean BBQ all-you-can-eat AT ITS FINEST. This is the real…read moregrab-as-much-as-you-want-back-to-your-table buffet style. There are four buffet tables for: - AYCE marinated meat in all sorts of flavours - AYCE sushi! - AYCE soups, fried foods - AYCE ice-cream, drinks, jelly, cotton candy machine, cakes, some fruits OK OMG where do I start, because that's exactly what I thought when I sat down. Let's start with the most boring: SUSHI there is sushi in the back, 3 pieces of California sushi, 6 rolls of imitation crab sushi, 6 rolls of salmon sushi. There are two staff making sushi and sashimi is dinner only. There's cold salads, soba noodles, some other salad with a lot of dressing, two gigantic bowls of lettuce, a whole tub of wasabi SOUPS/FRIED FOODS one pot soup of the day (minestrone soup), 6 spring rolls, 10 pieces of fries, smelt fish with tons of eggs, 6 pieces of dumplings. Some fried fish (garlic and some other one). Kimchi and side dishes. The above is truly as sad as it sounds. But honestly you come here for: THE MEAT - marinated pork chop - pork belly - pork belly with herbs - pig ribs - honey BBQ pork - pork intestine with black pepper (I didn't eat this) - chicken fillet - chicken wings - chicken wings with herbs - beef with soybean paste - diced beef fillet - ox tongue - basa fillet - mackerel - marinated mini octopus - squid tentacle in curry and some others I didn't want to take photos of. VEGETABLES - mushrooms (enoki, French, and oyster I think) - lettuce - corn - pineapple - orange thing that looks like cheese DRINKS - fresh lemon tea (doesn't taste packaged) - fresh plum juice (doesn't taste packaged) - soymilk (cannot tell but doesn't taste packaged) DESSERTS - 6 tubs of ice-cream (no red bean, no green tea) - coconut jelly, jelly with herbs, jelly that looks like lego - chocolate fondue tower with two big bowls of marshmallows - chocolate lollipops - COTTON CANDY MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And whatever else I miss because my memory can only hold so much. There is a lot! For lunch 4 people, we each paid about $140. They add service charge to the bill. SERVICE OK maybe it's just my luck but they are extremely nice! They were patient, they reminded us that we need to eat by 3:45pm because they need to close the tables soon. The cleaning ladies were worried we didn't eat enough!!! THE RULES you eat for exactly 90 minutes. When your time is up, they come and pick up your plates and turn off the fire. However because we arrived at 2pm, our 90 minutes ends at 3:30pm. Sushi counter closes at 3:30pm, the rest closes at 3:45pm and the restaurant closes at 4pm. They reopen for dinner later. Technically we had more than 90 minutes because 3:30pm meant no new customers can come inside, they just let us take our time as we roast our marshmallows in the fire!!! ZOMG THERE IS A COTTON CANDY MACHINE!

Still my favorite Korean BBQ place in Hong Kong. I used to go to their TST branch but the lines…read moreare too long. Here at CWB, there is virtually no wait time if you come on a weekday. (The lines are still bearable on weekends, if you are early - like before 7pm). The must-have for me is the 護心肉, i.e., meat around the heart. So meaty and packed with flavor! The other thing I also loved about Seorae is the condiments that comes with the meal. I usually order one meat + one carb (ramen or bibimbap) for 2 persons, and that's plenty because I get at least 5-6 sides, free with unlimited refill. Among which I love their steamed eggs and kimchi. The kimchi here is quite spicy but oh-so delicious! Service is quite good as well, especially true on weekdays! The staff came and refilled our sides without prompt! They also came and switched our BBQ plates for us without calling. Again, I went on a weekday when the restaurant wasn't busy. I am sure there are plenty of amazing Korean BBQ but why continue the search when you have already found one you enjoy? Plus, my bill usually averaged to only HK$150-200 per person, which is honestly a steal in CWB Hong Kong.

The place is more smokey than some other k BBQs I've been to, the kimchi has a kick but also surprisingly more ginger taste which I'm unfamiliar with in kimchi. The meats were well marinated albeit serving sizes were small. The beef was sliced so thinly they were probably more appropriate for hot pot! And again, easily stuck to the hot plate which made it difficult to cook. The bean and soft tofu soups were well made and flavoursome...and the bimbibap was as expected. One annoyance was that they didn't change the hot plate for about 20-30 minutes despite continuous request and as you can imagine with the sugars in the marinade, it was a charred mess. We also really enjoyed the chestnut rice wine, I've been to many Korean restaurants both in Sydney and HK and this was the first I've tried it! Very nutty and delicious! Overall decent experience and not very pricey.... But then again maybe that's because we waited so long for the hot plate to be changed we managed to eat in moderation for once.
