    Decent food but average service. This Korean restaurant is located in the west one complex, which is around 10 minutes walk from the city centre. The restaurant itself has two floors, therefore they have the capacity to hold a lot of customers. The restaurant serves Korean dishes and also Korean barbecue. The first thing to notice is that the staff and chefs are Chinese and not authentic Korean. The staff are friendly but the service was slow and the waitresses were not monitoring tables regularly. Furthermore, where I was sitting one the staff were causing a loud racket by dropping frozen food on into containers which was very annoying. I ordered from the lunch menu which has a few offers. I ordered the soup and hot stone pot offer which costs £15.99. As you are waiting you are given two complimentary small starters. The hot stone pot comes with a spicy dip, the portion is reasonable and is surprisingly filling. The salmon tofu is quite tasty, my favourite part of the meal. Overall, the service was a bit of a let down and I think it is not value for money, a bit too pricey.

    Good food. A bit confusing to understand how the menu works, but once decided and the food came out it was very tasty. It's a small restaurant and you can cook Infront of you if you want to BBQ, which the BBQ buffet is cash only, but it is a nice restaurant. The tap water was warm though in a warm glass which wasn't too pleasant

    This food is too flavor for my tastes:( Noodles is too spicy,it could use a little less chili. That lad who work there was diligent! If you aren’t worries about authenticity & just want a British version of Asian food meal,it’s alright.

    I absolutely loved this place. As a matter of fact I went back two nights in a row. They remembered me. I highly recommend the Bulgogi and the La Galbi - the tender beef and beef short ribs. I wish we had this style of cooking back in Houston. My wife had the Teriyaki Steak plate and really enjoyed it as well.

    Food was a bit cold when served, pancake was chewy. Cutlery was dirty, seating was cramped. Didn't enjoy very much and decided I'm not a big fan of Korean cuisine.

    Ordered toboggi and kimchi rice. It arrived 5 minutes later. Semi heated toboggi and kimchi rice was reheated in frying pan with reheated fried egg. 23 pounds later, I asked where are the little appetizer dishes. Oh, she said, we don't serve those here! Not a typical Korean restaurant

    2 of us went for the All you can eat Korean BBQ. This cost £24.99 and is only payable by cash. You can choose anything from the Barbecue section of the menu, max 2 items per order per person. This meant the 2 of us could order 4 dishes each time. The initial order took a while, around 30 minutes after we sat down to come & start BBQing. Sides such as Lettuce & Rice needs ordering and isn’t just provided. The beef selections & pork belly were really nice. Many of the choices are thin sliced so they cook easily. Ordered some chargrilled chicken wings but found these to be a miss as the meat was still pink in the middle and the BBQ just couldn’t cook it thoroughly. Drinks are reasonably priced although I went for a tap water which was served in a half pint glass meaning I had to ask for a refill a few times. Overall a nice experience to atleast go once. It is pricey at £25 per person but good for a treat.

    Really good value for money, great portion sizes for the price. Ordered three dishes for the bbq between two of us and were very full by the end. The staff were really welcoming and patient. Great experience, would go again

    Visited Sheffield for a few days and decided to go to this restaurant as I've always wanted to try KBBQ and I was not disappointed. Staff were very attentive and the food was very delicious. Will definitely be coming back whenever I'm back in Sheffield!

    This is a Chinese restaurant. There is not a Korean in sight, and it shows as the food was not very authentic and the staff don't know the menus. They got our order wrong twice and still put the wrong order on the bill. We had to ask for the bill to be corrected. Service was average and the restaurant was not great. Chairs were old and broken, toilets were not very clean and the floor was sticky.

    Nice food, lots of korean options but you can clearly tell it's run by Chinese people - the barbeque is really nice

    It's a shame as this place seems to have lost a bit of its spark. I used to really enjoy eating here but last time it just wasn't good. My husband and I had bibimbap - beef and chicken - and there was barely ANY meat in either of them. Very stingy - a literal sprinkling of pieces along the side, and what was there was very bland. We were also not given any side dishes/banchan at the start of our meal as we normally get. Maybe they stopped offering this? The service was quite slow and unfriendly. I hope they start to take a bit more pride in their food again but otherwise, I won't be visiting again unfortunately.

    Ordered through Deliveroo. Restaurant accepted the order, went through the whole journey of “in the kitchen” > picked up > nearly arrived, only to cancel as the driver showed almost here on the map. Apparently because the restaurant is now closed or too busy. Don’t accept the order therefore costing us 50 minutes of waiting before needing to order something else. Poor.

    Atmosphere can be better, but the food was delicious and service was good. Nice Korean BBQ restaurant where you grill your own.

    Just had a great lunch there, staff is very friendly and the food is just amazing! We had the fried squid and peanut chicken as starter/sides, and obviously had to try out their table BBQ! So we ordered to kinds of beef and some pork belly. I'm usually don't like pork belly, but having it so thinly sliced fresh of the BBQ right in front of you, even I couldn't resist! And the beef is just to die for, see through thin, cooked in a minute, so tender, and the flavours were amazing. Defenitely double dip in the dip bowl! Can't recommend this place enough, we ll definitely come back! 😊

    Very good BBQ restaurant. The beef is very delicious. The fried squid is crispy. I've been here many times and really like this restaurant. The service is good and the staff are friendly.
