Was a bit scared at first! But Monica was lovely it was my first time and I and no idea what I was doing but Monica is so helpful and is so sweet! She helped me so much nothing was too silly to ask. 10/10 would love to come back! You chose what you want to eat then go back to the table and cook the meat and veg to your own liking.

Fried rice aside which even I can cook better, all the food was good including several types of salads with all the dressings you can think of. There's even Fries there which would keep the young ones happy. One thing though that they don't advertise is that you only have two hours there not from 5-10pm that they are open which I'm sure some people would like to do. You aren't verbally told this but there's signs throughout the restaurant that do. Anyway worth going back to.

Food, awesome. Staff, awesome. I really can't find much to fault. Yes there's a 2 hour time limit but if you think you can sit around at an all you can eat all night then clearly you haven't been to many all you can eat restaurants and for the price, I'll happily take that 2 hours and have an amazing time with some delicious meats, kimchi and quail eggs any day of the week.
