Seoul BBQ -- Korean Barbecue!

Fun fact: I didn't know how to spell barbecue until two days ago. My sister ever so politely (*sarcasm*) informed me that the word is not spelled "barbeque." And I consider myself a fairly good speller...




This all you can eat Korean barbecue restaurant is located on Finch Avenue East, just east of Midland Avenue.

Being a vegetarian, the "all you can eat" is kind of pointless for me. Eating at a barbecue place means eating pretty much all vegetables, which isn't worth "all you can eat." While I was fairly satisfied with the food I could eat, $15.99 is a little much.

Sorry these pictures are a little dark and blurry.

Last weekend, I dropped the corner of my camera in the water, when I was at a lake. My camera is now dead. My boyfriend said I could use his so I'm still getting used to it.

I actually enjoyed cooking some of the meat. It changes colour! The food I eat doesn't usually change colours when I cook it...

It's hard to critique Korean barbecue because it's just so much fun! Some areas of improvement could be, though: better/more service, more vegetables (hot peppers, eggplant, etc), and more exchanging the grill. As well, my boyfriend, the meat-eater, complained that the marinade on the food was so salty and full of MSG.

I did check out the bathrooms, though. I maintain that you can accurately tell how nice a restaurant is by how they keep their bathrooms. At Seoul, the facilities were clean, stylish-ish, and fresh.

So, I would say that Seoul BBQ is at a good starting point. But there are some improvements to be made. I give here ** and a half/****.

Anyone know of any better Korean barbecue places?

  5. It's at Midland and McNicoll! In the same plaza as Go For Tea. If you go after 10pm, it's like $8.99 per person, all you can eat!
