    Some of the best Korean BBQ I've ever had the pleasure of eating. We were sat very quickly, the explanation of how to cook the food and what is available was clear, drinks orders were taken quickly even though the place was full. Unlike a lot of Korean BBQ places, Hama gives you the option to select what food you want from a large selection in the middle of the restaurant as an all you can eat buffet style, instead of manually ordering what you want and waiting for them to arrive, the meats on offer are classic Korean fair (belly pork, short ribs and Kelbi/bulgogi seasoned) everything labeled so you know what they are, as well as some surprisingly good choices. There is an 1hr30min time limit to keep the tables moving, which is plenty of time to grab some plates full of food and enjoy them at your own pace. As well as various meats there is a selection of banchan (Korean side dishes) as well as stir fried food, such as bulgogi beef, topokki, fried rice and other various things to try. Consider me a big fan as I will be coming here again very soon.

    Great service and good food: choice of pork, beef, chicken, and prawns/squid. Tables for max 4 only. Side dishes from the buffet are amazing. Unfortunately, we couldn't have Korean beer - not available on the day we visited.

    What a lovely find for Leeds! Not far of a walk from the train station and price range is decent enough. The staff are wonderful and very nice and funny. Food is yummy. Lots to choose from even if you're a vegetarian or just like fish/seafood! Kimchi fried rice was so good and the tofu was perfect! A clean and tidy place too. Worth a visit on your own or as a group!

    First time trying Korean bbq and it was a lovely experience! It was an all you can eat buffet with a huge range of different authentic dishes! The whole Cook your own meat experience was like no where before wide range of traditional marinated meats all the way from beef, chicken and pork and also seafood like prawn and shrimp! The food quality and freshness was very high! Very good service from the staff Would highly recommend also very affordable price for the buffet.

    Absolutely fantastic! The food they served was way above my expectation and the service they showed was brilliant. The people welcomed us with warm smiles and explained everything to us so we qerent left confused. The food they served was delicious and with different flavours that satisfied me to the highest level. This was a raw experience which left me astonished with the food and service. I will definitely come back here. 10/10!

    This is very authentic. Meat was well marinated, there are many types of meat, all of which were lovely and tender. Various types of veggies to choose to eat with meat. Kimchi and other types of pickle are tasty. All types of fried chickens are tasty. Tokbokki was also delish. Food : 5/5 The staff was very friendly and helpful, they cleaned the grill every 15 mins or something, very switched on! Service : 5/5 Space is spacious and light, feels authentic, well done up.

    It was a great experience for me and my family. The staff are friendly and helpful. Beer is in small bottles 330ml. My Mrs. likes the red wine. There's a BBQ on the table, just go and choose your meat. Plenty of choice for food.

    When I'm travelling on business I get my kids to pick where I eat... they went for the HAMA Korean BBQ Buffet, which was definitely a new experience for me. From the start I'll acknowledge that as I don't eat meat (but do eat seafood) I walked in knowing that I wasn't really the target demographic for a BBQ. However, I was really well looked after by the staff, and enjoyed my meal. You get a table and a hot plate BBQ to cook your food on, and then you are able to select what you want. As a non-meat eater I got some king prawns (with shell on) and squid, as well as some mushroom slices and bits of chilli to cook up. You can add some basic sauce as well (chilli and soy?) which was nice. While you wait for your dinner to cook you can also eat some pre-prepared hot and cold food. From the hot food I had some tofu (which was nice, in a spicy soup) and some cooked rice cakes in a tomato sauce as well as some cooked vegetable noodles etc. I also had some sushi and salads from the cold buffet. For me the highlights were the salads - the kimchi and variants on that were really new flavours for me, and went really well with the prawns and squid I cooked up. There is a point you wonder if you are just cooking your dinner rather than enjoying the experience... and I am sure with friends it would have been even better. The couple near me were definitely enjoying themselves and there were lots of other groups cooking up masses of meat! I'll be honest - if I didn't eat seafood I would have been disappointed with the experience. There is no vegetarian BBQ option which I felt could have been provided, and because the sauce variation was mixed with the meat, the prawns felt a bit plain in the end. The number of vegetarian dishes on the other buffets was a bit low, and they were very much side dishes. However, I do completely recommend the experience and the food was excellent. I felt that the price was fair for what was on offer, and would have been excellent if I wasn't so selective about what I ate. Thanks to the staff - I had a good time and hope others read this and take the chance to try something new. (Photo - my prawns and squid BBQing it up!)

    Staff are absolutely lovely! The food was not particularly to my taste, especially the meat for the BBQ but it definitely wasn't lacking in flavour. The side dishes that you serve yourself were a little cold, but still, nice flavours. Will happily try again.

    The food was good and the service was quick. There is a wide variety and selection of authentic styled Korean foods. The only thing that could be improved are the ventilation devices do not remove a great deal of the smoke from the meat cooking.

    Had a super time at Hama! The food was amazing, service was perfect and the owner was really lovely. I would definitely recommend others to go here, it is very authentic and it has a great atmosphere. Great value for the range of things that you get and they encourage you to only get what you're going to eat otherwise you have to pay extra for food wastage. κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€ μ•„μ€νžˆ!

    My first visit to a Korean bbq place and Hama did not disappoint. The cleanliness of the place can be improved a bit more.The meats were all spot on and the flavours were great. Staff super friendly. The trick is to fire up the grill to its maximum temperature initially and then lower it down eventually. Definitely going back again. Make sure to try the beef grills, they’re brilliant. Not exceptionally fond of the raw squid and prawns though. Sushi was dry so definitely room for improvement.

    Great service and excellent food served in an incredible building! We ordered the fried chicken twice, so delicious was it.

    Seen this type of bbq restaurants a lot in Kdramas. After experiencing it first time, I want to come back for more. The meat is nicely marinated and tasted fresh. The buffet comes with a good spread of side dishes too. Good food great service.

    You can definitely eat your moneys worth because they have prawns and squid. Meat selection is decent, steak, chicken and beef options. The crispy mayo chicken bites (forgot the name) are really really good. Slightly lacking in options however but it's pretty solid for the price.

    Wonderful experience, we were given help from staff as we were first timers, and the food tasted wonderful. Was pleasantly surprised by the experience, and the consideration given to separate halal and non-halal foods was incredibly nice. Thank you very much, would love to go again!
