    Just a note, they have parking available at the wellington st parking lot. I was thoroughly happy with the all you can eat selections. I was so excited to start cooking and eat I forgot to take pics when it all arrived. Everything was nicely plated and ingredients were fresh. I would eat here again. The service was friendly and worked as a team so if you needed something it wasn't a long wait, and we didn't need to push the 'call server' button. They are consistent walking around checking and were prompt at giving us new grill plates to cook on.

    Some great service with decent food! Seems like a family run business, so their service was amazing from the start. The place is a little small and gets pretty busy so come early. The food, I would love to have given more compliments, however personally we found the food a little bit on the bland side. Definitely nothing wrong with that, it was all fresh and tasted good, however a little more flavour or spice would be preferred. Still a great spot to try out!

    First time trying Koren Barbeque. I tried a little bit of everything and couldn't stomach it. I barely ate, and made it clear to the waitress that I stopped eating while my 3 other friends continued to eat for the next hour. They still charged me, which any reasonable restaurant wouldn't do, especially after throwing up in the washroom. The 1-star is particularly for the lack of compassion this restaurant has. It's unfortunate that I had this experience, and even more unfortunate that they couldn't arrange a discounted bill at least. EDIT: The Harassment from the Owner's google reply is uncalled for. I was expecting an apology, but instead the owner felt the need to belittle me; who are you to tell me I didn't throw up? If anything, I'm happy that I didn't make a mess. I didn't see the owner eye-to-eye, so perhaps there's over exaggeration from the owner's perspective. Please keep in mind that I had voiced my concerns in a civilized manner to the waitress. She was polite to explain to me that since I hadn't said anything after the first round I must pay full price. I agreed because that was reasonable and did pay full price, there's no need to harass me in your response. Please understand that I'm not trying to bring this business down, I understand the hardships caused from covid, but despite this I genuinely had a bad experience. Instead of belittling my experience solely because I had civilly voiced my opinion that I shouldn't pay for food that I threw up (which I ultimately paid), I would have appreciated an apology, and I still expect one. I hope you find this message well, and reconsider your unprofessional attitude towards your customers. This is what I meant when this restaurant had a lack of compassion and empathy.

    What a great experience. Definitely, one of my favourite restaurant in Niagara. Food is fantastic and the service is on point. The meat was perfectly seasoned ! The pork belly and beef ribs 🤤…Our server was super cute ! So friendly , and took the time to explain every dish. Getting hungry again… I hope this restaurant flourishes and continue to deliver simple and delicious fresh food. For those who are in the fence of whether you should try something new, this is for you . You won’t be disappointed…. Unless, you don’t have taste buds. Happy eating !

    The restaurant is quite small especially if there’s a big group eating all at once. So far, the most decent korean bbq place in the niagara region. The price is good for an eat all you can menu. Im inlove with their kimchi pancake! Also, the dessert was a plus (melona icecream). Alice or Elis was our server and she was good. She builds rapport and smiles everytime.

    The restaurant has a very cozy vibe to it. I love the atmosphere especially on the patio. The staff are amazing, very quick and attentive! The food was great, I love that there are a lot of side dishes and appetizers

  • 4/5 Eun 9 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Decent selection of meats and appetizers for AYCE. The cuts of meat were well proportioned and fresh! However I think they should offer more marinated meat options or sauces because some of the meat was lacking flavor. The servers were really attentive, and the atmosphere was pretty nice. Would definitely visit again

    This place was awesome! Service was wonderful. Their process for ordering was simple and quick. The grills worked perfectly and the protein was awesome. Loved all the styles and cuts they offered. The apps were tasty. Can’t wait to revisit frequently.

    Absolutely AMAZING food and service! We tried the Bulgogi, pork belly and beef short ribs- I wish I could pick a favorite but they were all so DELICIOUS. The sauce that is presented by the lettuce wraps is to die for. We were visiting Niagara falls and the 10 minute cab was totally worth it! Great service and fun relaxed atmosphere. Personalized wine was so smooth and pleasant .

    The best Korean food I have ever had! The staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Along with the staff being great, the food was amazing and our overall experience was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

  • 5/5 Elena M. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and service! We had the all you can eat Korean barbecue and the meat and appetizers were excellent. The bulgogi beef was my favourite. A bit pricey but worth it.

  • 5/5 Kenny 11 months ago on Google
    Scrumptious. Great service, waiter came back to check up on us and offered us ice cream. Would come back again 10/10 IGN

  • 5/5 Rob T. 2 years ago on Google
    Yhe staff was super friendly and made for a great dinner. We started with a couple of appetizers which were tasty. The main dishes were what really shined during our meal. We had the Beef Bulgoki, the Chilly Jeyuk Pork, and the Sweet Spicy Garlic Chicken Pieces. All three were delicious but our favorites were the pork and chicken. The pork was spicy but not overly so, however, it did sneak up on you. Definitely would return and order the chicken and pork.

    A Really good place to have Korean food I came here for dinner with my friends and we were surprised by the food. They were really fresh and tasty. The appetizers were so amazing and the ice cream blew me away. It's really nice place to dine in. Must be back. However, it would be better if they have parking lots or instruction where to park, especialy to new customers. Also they might renovate the place to make it spacious and better looking. That can help get more customers. Nice place!!!

    excited to have all you can eat korean BBQ. The server was kind and bright and took care of everything when we needed. The atmosphere of that place was good and the variety food options made us excited and also all tasty. Satisfied fully.

  • 4/5 Vaibhav G. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best Korean Bbq. They have very good choice of meats and the marination is amazing. The only thing that i wished is that they have veggies to their bbq. But everything else was exceptional and the service was great.

  • 4/5 Shawn 1 year ago on Google
    It definitely deserves four stars! It has the best tempura in the city, including chicken wings and fried onion, which are crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside!👍 the price might be a little high if you’re not a big eater, but the pricing is still reasonable and affordable. I am a regular now

  • 5/5 Cathy P. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it!! Quaint little restaurant where you BBQ at your table. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Great tempura.

  • 5/5 Annie H. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was pretty good, food is yummy and fresh. Love their side dishes. 10/10

  • 4/5 Carrie C. 3 years ago on Google
    Meat and vegetables are very fresh and good. But not many variety on the all you can eat menu and the tempura aren't good. The miso tofu soup is very tasty and it comes in a big Stone pot with other ingredients. Friendly customer service. The server keeps changing the grill plate for us as soon as it turns black or after a few times of grilling. It's very good service, we don't even need to ask for it.

    A hidden gem found in a neighborhood of st. Catherine's. Came here to have late lunch/ early dinner with the family. Kids and adults loved it. Cozy and friendly restaurant. Food was great. Service was very amazing, friendly, and explained in detail if it was your first time having Korean bbq. Highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Alexander A. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting concept - you get raw meat and a grill on your table to cook yourself. All you can eat pork, beef, chicken, seafood. The meat was well marinated. The restaurant also offers a regular menu that you can order several different dishes.

  • 4/5 Megan S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has amazing food! The appetizers, sides, and meat were all amazing! My only issue was that the vegetable cooler is never open and there's no vegetable menu, so I've never gotten vegetables here. The service here is also great, but the restarant itself is very cold because they leave the windows open. It makes it very difficult to stay warm while eating there in the colder months. I would recommend going in the summer if you are someone who does not enjoy the cold.

  • 4/5 Rudy G. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my experience. The meat was deliciously seasoned, the service was generally prompt and the staff was amazing. The only thing i feel would have made this better would have been an open flame table as opposed to the infrared grill.

  • 5/5 Mike D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good authentic Korean. Prices are fair for the quality of food you get. Service is very good and the guy we had was super attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended.
