Very good Korean restaurant. Can be pretty busy in the evening hours so book a table in advance. You can go for all-you-can-eat or a la carte. They have a lot in the menu so you wont be disappointed. Food is really amazing, service very quick and professional. Good place to take kids with you.

Good korean barbecue place, unlimited food and drinks. I really liked spicy Korean beef soup, bibimbap, japchae. Meat was tasty but I would really appreciate if it could be served with salt and pepper, because it’s just fresh meat. Service was ok, everything served quickly

A small place to be able to all you can eat Korean food. At the time i had options between outside in a wide area in the cold or inside tiny space that is very hot. If you dont mind one of these options, then i can recommend to taste the food.

The most authentic Korean bbq experience available in the Netherlands! The food is great, the service is friendly and the price is surprisingly cheap for everything that you get. The environment is beautiful and lively. Recommend getting a deluxe all-you-can-eat. Be sure to visit and be kind to the staff!

The service was terrible, we ordered the army stew, and only later we got told that the price was only for one person and if someone else were to eat they will charge double ! And they only told us after and then we didn’t want it anymore and they said that they can’t reverse it. Terrible communication and a sneaky way of doing business and terrible service after all. Do not recommend.

Slow service, and when I received my check I was told they did not take credit cards, only debit cards. When I presented my debit card, I was told they only take cash. Finally I was told they only take European credit cards. Huh? Maybe the BBQ is good, but I do not recommend any traditional Korean dishes.

We visited the place and had the ayce+drink menu.Tteokbokki was made with ketchup/tomatosauce and most of the bbq meats we had, smelled very funky (rotten). Had some bulgogi beef that made my tongue tingle the whole dinner.. I will not visit the place again.

It is absolutely not Korean food.절대 한국 음식이 아닙니다.Only the name is Korean food.The taste and hygiene are also the worst.The water cup was too dirty to see foreign objects.When I complained, I just gave me mineral water and a cup again.There was no apology.At first glance, it looks like Korean.However, the owner is Chinese.I must never sell these foods as Korean food.I was so angry.So I hope you dont be fooled, I leave a post.

It was not exactly our first choice for a first evening dinner in the Netherlands but due to 👑 we didnt have much other options since prebooking is needed everywhere if you want a table inside. On the other hand we dont have Korean BBQ restaurants in our area in Germany so we decided to dine here. By accident it was the All you can eat Thursday and we could test a wide selection of delicious and spicy meals. The taste was good, the amount was huge and it was not easy to stop eating. The service was attentive. This is a simple place but its completely okay. There was nothing to complain about.

Does not accept Visa or Mastercard cards, and they no advice until you need to pay. And the bibimbap has a weak flavors, full rice and very little meat.

Review №19

Had food poisoning from this visit. But food Average taste. Price is reasonable. Deluxe buffet menu makes more sense for people that order more than one drink. But immediately induced unwanted bowel movement... so be warned. Not enough room for stroller storage. Service is awful. One of the ladies is super indifferent. She doesnt care if you enjoy your dining experience. No greeting. No smile. No correspondence when you say thank you. Cold attitude.

All you can eat (and drink non-alcoholic) Korean bbq, with drinks: 30,5 Euro on the weekend and less during the week. The place has something on the menu for everyone. Service is fast. Always enjoy it here.

Review №27

Korean restaurant run by Chinese. Decent place with friendly staff and good food. Only downside is that it is not 100% authentic Korean as it is run by Chinese. We ordered sidedish kkakdooki (깎두기) but what we got was something different. They then took it away and didnt charge us for that, which was nice. Ordered kimchi instead, but it tasted old. Disappointed as none of the staff spoke Korean.

Review №31

The concept is interesting with a cooking plate built into the table. It makes your clothes extremely smelly though, so wear older clothes.The food was ok, it was nice to eat something different. I would go back but not often.Staff was friendly and the place isnt too big so we were catered quite well. I couldve used a bit more explanation on how to consume the meat with lettuce and sauces but my friends picked up the part of explaining (poorly 😀).

Unlimited food and drinks!I like the food and it all goes very fast with ordering.For people who seek high quality, dont go to AYCE restaurants. Thats common sense, rather than downvoting this place for high standards.

Review №34

A good place to have tasty and authentic Korean food.Please ignore all the comments that stating this place is Chinese rather than Korean. Those commentators probably lack the knowledge that there is a substantial population of Chinese speaking native Koreans living in north-eastern China.The only problem is that the seats are too narrow.

Great place for Korean food. All you can eat grill is a good deal. Or just some snacks and a glass of soju.

All you can eat Korean food. Wonderful place to dine in with friends and family that needs an introduction to Korean cusine. Including drinks in the price is also one of the reasons I choose this restaurant. Reservations are highly recommended.

Review №38

Not a vegetarian friendly place at all! I went here with my vegetarian friends for a birthday, and nowhere on the menu it mentioned what was vegetarian and what wasnt. For example, youd assume tofu soup is vegetarian, but the soup had clams, schrimp and surimi in it...As a non vegetarian the food was alright, but it really bothered me that my friends had to be scared to eat something because it possibly could have contained meat.

Review №42

Went for the all you can eat.Got asked what we wanted, we asked for the all you can eat.And it was theres the drinks and good luck.No direction or whatever.The food was okay, Im not familiar with Korean food.So I cant judge on that.But the meat was stale no salt or pepper at the table.Ribeye to grill yourself, but its very thin slices.Thats just a waste of ribeye.The owner (I think) asked if we liked our food, we said yeah was okay.He just walked off in the middle of the answer.Like he could care less.Worst experience in a all you can eat ever.

Kimichi pancakes tasted foul...not fresh. I love korean food, but this left me uninspired. We ordered around 7 different small dishes and left half untouched. Wont be back, there are better options in the Hague. If you like Korean food I advise visiting the city of Duesseldorf in Germany (2 hour ride). A lot of authentic korean options there.

Review №44

I got takeaway. Overly priced for the portions of the sides, which were very fatty and oily. I ordered a tofu soup (Im vegan...) and I got a fish soup with egg and tofu so spicy it was non edible (you could see lumps of red chilli powder still!).Also customer service was terrible as the owner made me feel very unwelcome and was rude.Edit: the fish bimbimbap gave my partner food poisoning.

Ph
Review №45

We made a reservation for 5 people and the table they arranged for us only had one grill. This resulted in us not having enough time to eat the optimal amount of food to our desires. The kimchi pancakes were very inadequate, and the lamb skewers tasted like kebab meat. Furthermore, I would definitely recommend the spare ribs.

If you are looking for overpriced, poor quality and tasteless Chinese food masquerading as Korean food with poor service to boot, this place is just right for you.The last thing you will want to do is take your Korean friends here.

Review №47

DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. The staff was incredibly rude and unfriendly. The food was not authentic Korean because its actually Chinese people running this restaurant. It tasted too salty and just plain disgusting. If you expect some good Korean barbecue, you will definitely be disappointed. They also only accept cash or Maestro card, but they wont tell you that until after youve eaten. The chiggae (soup) menu, which always includes the rice as one menu, does not include rice at this restaurant but again wont tell you until AFTER youve ordered and realized they havent brought you the rice. (In most Korean restaurants, the menu indicates if they charge you extra for the rice-- this place, however, didnt). What an unpleasant experience. I would honestly advise you to stay away from this place.

Review №48

Probably the worst restaurant service ive ever experienced. Went with a friend to all you can eat, where we could choose 3 dishes per person in rounds. Every round was either a wrong dish or it didnt come at all. Even better youre gonna wait a looooooooooooooooong time for the food which your gonna pay 25.50 for 2 hours. I would never go back again.

I love going to this restaurant when I am in the Hague. It has a good location and mostly delicious food. Also most of the time they are friendly.The prize range is quite cheap especially if you compare it to Miss Korea in Amsterdam which has the same concept but is more expensive. The difference here is also I can tell them to not put some ingredients in my food like pork which I though was very thoughtful of them.The only thing is that when the place is crowded or when we are with a big group they sometimes forget to bring stuff we ordered which is sometimes annoying because we have to keep reminding them.

Review №55

Where do I even begin?The food? The service? The price?I went to this restaurant with my partner with high hopes, considering the great reviews from other customers. However, the restaurant did not meet my expectations, or even the standards of any decent restaurant. To provide some context, I am a Korean national.The service was terrible. There were two waiters at 6:30 pm during the busiest time of the day for any restaurant. Both waiters did not speak good English at all so it was difficult to converse with them and they did not provide us with sufficient information about any of the dishes we asked for. There were no labels on the menu whether each dish was vegetarian or not. So we ordered a a typically vegetarian dish in Korea (Jjajangmyun) and we found that it was made with a lot of meat in it. The other two dishes, Kimchi Jeon and Tteokbokki were also, unsurprisingly, terrible. Both dishes were 5 euros and each literally had 4-5 pieces. The Tteokbokki, which is a spicy ricecake dish, had an aftertaste of ketchup which baffled me. The difference in taste between what the restaurant served us and what they are supposed to taste like normally is like night and day. This makes sense considering the owners of the place are Chinese. The portions of the food were also incredibly tiny. We paid a total of 20 euros for 4 (tiny) dishes and we were left hungry after that. I left this restaurant feeling hungry, disappointed and alarmed that such an establishment can stay up and running. If it was possible, I wouldnt even give this place a one star rating, preferably no rating at all.If you want to enjoy some decent Korean food, avoid this place at all costs. It is not worth your money at all and there are other Korean restaurants that will provide you with better service and food.

Review №56

Owners are real korean, big plus for me. At least you are sure that everything is quite authentic. Thou the kimchi are not spicy as should be... Overall food with the unli drinks could justify the cost.Be prepared to smell after your dinner, I guess that is also a typical Korean style 😊

Review №57

Im Korean. Dont go to this restaurant. The food was terrible. Its not Korean food. I went there with my friends and ordered bibimbap, soft tofu stew, black noodle, and two of them had BBQ. To be honest, none of them were even close to Korean food. Dont go there if you want to experience Korean food because they dont sell it.

Review №58

Definitely Chinese (fast food style/quality) place, not Korean. Staff don’t speak much English, do not really explain the all you can eat concept, unfriendly.

Review №59

The place serves korean bbq, meaning you get variety of meats and vegetables and you can grill them on your table. They have two options unlimited or from the menu. I suggest go for the unlimited, because by adding the small items you will end up paying the same. With all you can eat you will get unlimited meat, side dishes, rice and drinks. Cant be bad.

We visited as a group and had a pleasant enough experience. The waiters and waitresses changed our grill when we requested them to do so and the dishes were tasty; also great that soft drinks (excluding beer) are unlimited. Be aware that all your clothes will stink of barbeque after though lol.

Located in a Chinatown in The Hague, the interior is pretty crowded and unremarkable. Service was a bit slow due to a few waiters serving a lot of people that night, so I couldnt blame them for that. The food was alright though. Parking is expensive around there. We went for the all-you-can-eat, which is not expensive.

Review №75

Not really Korean, the experience was meh taking into account the price. The choices of meat are very few and not that great. We asked for the BBQ sauce and the lettuce and a very confused waitress told us there was none. Jjakjangmyen is ok and so it the bibimbap. We will not be coming back I am afraid, too pricey for what they offer.

Review №79

If you want to eat genuine Korean BBQ in the Netherlands you should visit this place. It serves a lot of dishes from kimchi to bimibap. The restaurant uses the all you can eat concept, you can choose whether or not to include unlimited soft drinks in your package. I would recommend to make a reservation, as there is a big chance the restaurant is full when you come without reservation.

Mi
Review №80

Food was ok-ish, service wasnt very good. We got the wrong thing at first and it was pretty hard to get the attention of the waitress. The chop sticks they have are also uncomfortable to hold (theyre not round or square, but flat).Another item was not listed as soup (it said fish cakes) so we ordered it but it was fish cake soup.Also keep in mind that you have to grill a few of the more appealing (and more pricey) items yourself. This eliminated quite a few options for us.Price was ok though, a number of quick bites for €2 each are available on the menu.

Good food and good prices. Went once and tried the bibimbab which was great, went again and had the BBQ and was amazing!

Ma
Review №86

The food is not bad, but certainly not good. It is not authentic Korean food but an imitation if it as the staff is Chinese. I have never had bipimbap without seaweed and mushrooms but with lettuce. And the tokpoki was served with Chinese tomato sauce and not with Korean spicy sauce. And the kimchi chigae was watery. So if you like authentic Korean food, avoid this one.

Review №87

I would love to give it a 4* for food but ill just give it a 3* since one of the waitress there is really rude and doesnt know how to be a server she needs training on how to srve people since she works in a restaurant. Everytime we eat there she was always rude.

Review №88

Of course if you have been to South Korean then the food doesnt get anywhere close to what experience you have in Seoul, however, if you are craving for some Korean BBQ then you can have a look at this place! They have a all you can eat BBQ version as well. But the restaurant is not run by Koreans so maybe thats an indication to the authenticity of the food!

The food is ok in quality and taste but the lady who runs the place is so rude! She really needs to learn how to treat customers. She came over to my table and touched my food, rearranged my setup of the plates without my consent and without even talking. The older lady’s rudeness gets only 1-star :(

Review №94

The service was disgusting and also all the food was way too disappointing as well. Do not recomend this place at all if youre looking for korean cuisine. Staffs needs to know or properly learn if they want to run a restaurant ( if this place even deserves to be called a restaurant.), they had zero respect for their customers or to the food they actually make and serve. Kpop doesnt make this place into a KOREAN restaurant.헤이그 여행와서 아무리 한국음식 그리워도 여긴 안됍니다. 참으세요. 스시 드세요.
