I dont even know where to start. Out of all the korean BBQ places ive been to, this has been by far the worst. Not sure if they were having a bad day or this is usual business there. My husband and I drove from 72 miles away because our town does not have anything like it. We got there and for 20 mins we were invisible-standing by the front desk for anyone that worked there to acknowledge us as waiters/employees saw the line and just kept walking by. By the time someone did speak to us, there was a line of about 3-4 more people waiting to be acknowledged in line for a table. Fast forward, 44 mins later we finally ordered. I can't believe it took that long for me to cook my own food and on top of that half of our order was forgotten in the back, forgot to bring sauces out. the grill wasnt turned on by the time the order came out so we had to wait even more ain order for the grill to warm up. It was turned on so high that when we finally started cooking, it would burn before it was even done cooking. Halfway through we are pretty much cooking on ashes and remnants of old food that charred on the grill top(see picture). The plates piled up and none of the empty plates were cleared to give us room the whole dinner. My husband got his first refill on his water 30 seconds after we had paid. 30 seconds more and he probably would have choked, who knows. Highly disappointed on the service, seeing how they dont even cook your food. You would at least expect better service. read more

167°F Korean BBQ - Thts what we cooked on thw whole time, changed out when we had 1 piece of meat left and hour into the dinner - Korean Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

I can't believe I found this place in Alabama of all places. I was just driving through on my way to Montgomery and this restaurant came up on my search and I was little hesitant at first but I knew my fellow yelpers wouldn't let me down (it had great reviews). The first time I went, my coworker and I ordered a la carte. He ordered stone pot bibimbap and I ordered kimchi jigae. The side dishes were a great mix of different flavors, spice and of course the classic mayo based side dish (banchan) to clear your palate from all the spice. The kimchi was especially delicious, it was the perfect ripeness with the perfect amount of sour, sweet, and salty. I regret I only took a picture of the side dishes and was too busy inhaling my kimchi jigae and forgot to take more pics. During my second visit, I went with two other co-workers (who had never had any korean food before). We ordered the all you can eat lunch bbq and the meat was amazing with the pickled radish wraps. I think I asked for refill of the radish wraps 3 or 4 times haha. We were allowed to order 4 meats varieties so we ordered beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi, and pork belly. All four were delicious but I think I can live without the chicken, the spicy pork and beef were definitely my favorites. My coworker loved the fried rice cakes with spicy red pepper sauce. There was so much food variety to choose from, we all definitely want to go back. My coworkers now LOVE korean food and don't know how they have gone through life without all these amazing flavors! I had the same waiter each time and he is always so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I always ask for specific side dishes and he's always obliged my special requests. I make it a point to stop here every single time I'm headed to Montgomery. read more

I too was shocked to find such a spot in Alabama of all places. This concept of cooking your own food caught me off guard, but I'm ALWAYS ready for new things and challenges. My rating was based mostly on the unique experience more than the food which was ok, but we had a server who willingly helped my son and I every step of the way - especially with the meat options. The only thing I didn't appreciate in the experience, the quality of the side dishes - the rices didn't taste fresh and they were cold. Unfortunately, the cooking surface was primarily for meat, so my attempt to heat rice didn't go over too well. Oh well, I tried it - bucket list is checked. read more

It's an experience my son wanted to go to, but I"m not a fan of Korean BBQ. It's expensive and if you choose the medium option they show about 39 things to choose from, but Americans probably only want 4 or 5 of them. Memo to management, Americans aren't really into pork belly, intestines, tongue, and pork jowl. We stuck to brisket, beef, and chicken, with veggies and rice. Too expensive for what you get, not to mention you are cooking it yourself... and no Japanese white sauce. I'll go to the Kobe' and Beni Hana options and let the chef do the show and put all the stuff we love on our plate. read more

167°F Korean BBQ - the entrance to the restaurant - Korean Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

We had a great experience at 167! The staff was friendly, patient, and helpful! The restaurant was clean and welcoming. We ordered a lot since they actually don't charge for food leftover. Their cocktails were VERY good. Our favorite menu items were the rice cakes, kimchi, beef brisket, and fried rice. The japchae was good but nothing special, and the Cajun chicken was not our favorite. They replace the grill top whenever you ask, so we didn't have a problem with food sticking too badly! I'd definitely recommend trying this one out. Can't beat the price or variety! read more

It's time for a bit of discovery with Korean BBQ. Thanks to one of my buddies who wanted it for his birthday. Just a little info about Korean BBQ or 167F. They have all you can eat selections that they keep bringing you as much as you want. But there is a basic for $9.99, deluxe for $15.99, and premium for $22.99. The premium includes the deluxe and basic options while the deluxe also includes the basic options. Your meal comes with rice, Korean mashed potatoes, radish, kimchi, and onions. In the middle of your table is a grill and you cook your own meat. Some meat takes 2 minutes, some takes longer. My selections were the #14, 15, and 1. #14 was the beef Bulgogi. It is marinated in a sweet marinade with vegetables. It was enjoyable. But the spicy version of it, the #15, was even better. The marinade in it was spicy but it was mild. I would give it a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10 for heat. The #1 was the spicy pork version of bulgogi. I also sampled beef brisket, pork belly, garlic chicken, Hawaiian beef, and some type of marinated steak which was #30 on the menu. The #30 and garlic chicken was the best out that bunch. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! I really enjoyed the experience of Korean BBQ. However, I felt like the meat was not the best quality of meat. The beef brisket and #1 pork bulgogi was very chewy after being cooked, thin, and fatty. For the price I paid, that was unacceptable to me. I would eat here again if someone picked to eat here, but I won't go out of my way again. read more

Ambiance is nice, service was on point & the food was great. I'd highly recommend this place, as I've eaten at many other Korean BBQ restaurants & this was one of the best read more

As a local, this is the only all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ (KBBQ) in town, and it offers the best price for all the items it has on the menu. The quality of the food has its ups and downs, but after closing temporarily from COVID-19, the quality has slightly gone back up. I have been to this restaurant 40+ times and know full well the quality it has when they had first open to this day. This place has 2 tiers (Premium and Ultimate) to choose from other than the lunch menu, which is $15.99 compared to the $9.99 it used to offer in the past; the lunch menu is only available 11AM-3PM during the weekdays, not including holidays. For the Premium tier, you can choose from 39 items, while with the Ultimate tier you have 56 items. Most of my visits I have chosen the Premium tier because it has enough choices to satisfy my needs. If you enjoy eating seafood, such as octopus and squid, then the Ultimate tier is perfect for you. However, I am not a big fan of octopus or squid (unless it is fried calamari). But it does have filet mignon and LA galgi, which I love dearly but not worth the price for me. For the Premium tier, I recommend the premium chadol (#9), spicy beef bulgogi (#11), Hawaiian beef (#12), neukgansal (#20), and woosamgyub (#22). You can ask for steamed or fried rice, but I always get japchae (#34) to eat with the meats. However, my past 2 visits the japchae has been a disappointment; it was lacking flavor and dry. I recommend not getting the fried rice because the taste reminds of how hamster food pellets smell like. If you want to venture around the tier, I would recommend trying the soy sauce samgyubsal (#11), red wine samgyubsal (#12), and dduk kkochi (#36); I'm not a big fan of any of them, but my friends like them. One thing about their pork belly is that it is average quality, and the flavor is not there for me. Overall, I always have a great experience eating here. One thing to keep in mind is that the customer service is not the fastest since they are low-staffed, so make sure to order many items on the first round (4-6 items). Their specialty drinks are amazing; I have not been disappointed with any of the option. They are fruity and light on the alcohol. This restaurant might not be the best quality, but for the price you pay, it is good enough to satisfy me. I would always go back to this place if I crave KBBQ. read more

I was in town and decided to try this place. Price - this is by far one of the cheapest all you can eat I've been to. But, you can tell why. The basic food meat wasn't the best nor quite Korean. I understand they are trying to meet the taste buds of non Korean southern people but seasoning was more so Chinese buffet quality. Side dishes - this is where I would of gone from 3 stars to two. My kimchi was dry. Like someone dished it out into these tiny black serving dishes and let out in room temp for hours (like 8+ hours). Kimchi were so fermented and dry, I couldn't even eat them. And finally the service - I get it. You have 30 items and foreign sounding items. But when you order two meats that are pork Bulgogi and beef Bulgogi and your grill is completely empty, you should probably stop by the table and check the table. We had to ask for water when water was completely empty. Service was another reason for two stars. I would say this. If you are not looking for authentic Korean and looking for more fusion Korean food, this is not a bad place to start. Be aggressive and get your servers to change out the grills. Mine were completely charred and server didn't offer so I had to tell to replace it. My server could of been new. And my observation was that she was very inefficient. Would I come back? Likely with some friends who never tired Korean and hungry. read more

167°F Korean BBQ - Menu from June 2022 - Korean Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

This restaurant was highly recommended by Yelpers and by a local hotel staff member who said this is a popular eating spot while in Auburn. The place is pretty easy to find off the main street leading to the university. Parking is decent and when you walk in, the restaurant gives off a different vibe unlike a traditional table Hibachi restaurant. After you read their menu, if you choose the all you can eat fixed price dinner, strict rules are in place such as a 2 hour time limit and no takeout is allowed. You select the plentiful dishes you want, most are cooked by you at the table, and when you want more, you can request additional amounts from the menu list to your server. Beer and cocktails are well stocked and my 'go to' beer, Yuengling was available on tap. Overall, great service, food, and atmosphere at 167 degrees F Korean Bbq restaurant. read more

This is the general manager's response in the uploaded photo. I'll be happy to oblige my other, past, negative experiences that I left out of my previous review. The service is hit or miss but it seems to be an ongoing problem based on other users' reviews. As far as the grill changing is concerned, you will know if you have a more sensible server if they ask you if you'd like a change the grill or they wait in between dishes to change the grill. I would advise people to ask them to hold on if they try to change it before dishes finish cooking. The owner claims that the wait staff is conditioned to change grills often due customers asking for it. Fair enough, but who asks for a grill change in the middle of cooking? Since wait staff often walk by and turn down the heat of the grills, the combination of the cold grill and low heat prevents that sear that you're supposed to get. You get that steamed, grey meat. Don't believe me? order the LA Galbi and test it out. The difference due to heat is certainly noticeable. At first, I loved the establishment so much that I often recommended this place to friends. I arrived with a party that included two members that could not eat beef and one that could not eat pork. They tried to separate our party despite there being a single table with 2 grills and it was not even busy. It wasn't until we pressed the issue that they decided to accommodate us. They used to leave the dipping sauces and the side dishes on the table for an extended period of time. As a result, a friend once found a fly in her soy sauce based sauce. Although it was a minor inconvenience since we could just order new dipping sauces, I would double check to make sure everything is fresh. The best way to do this is to check the consistency and the color of the red dipping sauce (sam chang), the freshness of the pickled onions, and whether or not the potato salad is crusty and hard. To be fair though, I think they have changed this habit. Anybody who eats Korean BBQ knows it's about the lettuce wraps. They've replaced it with cabbage, probably because it's cheaper. Tsk Tsk. To sum it up. The service is hit or miss. The experience is great if you get a good server that doesn't change the grill in the middle of cooking. It's too bad the general manager's attitude is poor. read more

My husband & hi absolutely love this restaurant! We have eaten here numerous times! The waiters are always so courteous and the food is always amazing! Their portion sizes for their meats are a decent size for two people and it's definitely a credit option in order to be able to try multiple different items on the list that they have! We always start with the vegetables to have those sautéed while we're waiting for the meats to come out and we are never disappointed! Their cocktails are pretty delicious but a bit pricey... However we usually just stick to the soda. But with the assortment of meats and the reasonable sized plates that they have they definitely make sure that you're not going to waste and essentially charge you extra for whatever you're not eating it also allows you to try more than just two or three meats we usually go through for five and we start off with one or two. read more

167°F Korean BBQ - Pork Belly - Korean Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

This was actually my 3rd time eating here. The first 2 visits were great a few years back and I gave a stellar review then, on Google with pictures and everything! This time wasn't as great. For one, they took away lettuce wraps and couldn't give a reason as to why. Everyone can't, or doesn't want to, add stupid amounts of carbs to their meal with rice or noodles. I like eating in a tidy manner. The wraps allowed you to easily do that. So I couldn't even neatly enjoy my Hawaiian beef (which was SO tasty) topped with those glorious, various toppings they provide. My place at the table was so messy, and mind you this was a date! I'm not a messy eater, but it definitely looked like I was that night. And finally I had the misfortune of leaving my ridiculously fabulous-looking, well-fitted, custom, soft, easy to breathe with Hello Kitty face mask at the booth when I left. In no way did it look like it should be thrown away, but that's what was done with it by whoever bussed the table! Instead of leaving it at the front desk or office. This really hocked me off good. I've worked as waitstaff, and know damn well to put things in a lost and found! That mask was NOT cheap. Honestly if it was still required to wear a mask for entry, I most likely would never have laid it down when we got seated. (Seriously wtf. Cases are spiking at a ridiculous amount. Health care worker here, so I know firsthand.) But I digress! It's my own fault that I didn't shove it back into my purse as I usually would have if I'd been wearing it! All in all, I got to look like the Tasmanian Devil in front of my super cute date, and I got to have my expensive face mask thrown away. Food and cocktails were delicious as always, but I don't know if I'll be back. read more

Korean BBQ is a fun dining experience. It is interactive, and is as much an experience as the food itself. It's a social event where you cook a variety of prepared meats and vegetables right at the table. Each table has its own built-in stove and cooking surface in the center. Your party decides what to cook, and the pace of the meal. As food is cooked it is shared family-style with everyone at the table. Korean BBQ restaurants can be a bit intimidating and especially your first time. What is the protocol and what do I order? 167 degrees tries to remove some of the mystery. One price covers all-you-can eat, but it's not a buffet style. You select items from a descriptive menu, and to ease the process you can order by number (1 through 39). Select up to four items at a time. After you finished the four you can order another set. Whats with all the little dishes? About ten small dishes contain vegetables prepared different ways. These are called banchan and the most famous one is kim chee. This is a fun way to sample new things, and you can order refills of any that you like. I recommend ordering rice to go with your meal. I have enjoyed Korean BBQ in several large cities, and to have one is Auburn was quite unexpected. The setup of 167 is very nice. It is a beautiful restaurant, and it is designed specifically for this this Korean tradition. The restaurant was full on Sunday night and service was a bit slow. But, overall we had a good experience. We left fat and happy. read more

I've been here several times and it's surprising to me that I've never written a review. I don't live in Auburn but I would gladly make the drive to eat here regularly.

Great service, great food and AMAZING Pricing...definitely give this place a shot if you're looking for KBBQ!

Great food, good service, good prices we visit every time we come to Auburn, which is twice a year.

This place is very popular, and I decided to go with a couple friends for lunch. We went on a Friday, and it was not too busy! We were seated relatively quickly. Our server was extremely friendly and checked up on us a appropriate amount of times. I have been to a number of KBBQ places, and I would say that this place is on the upper end of the spectrum due to the atmosphere, service, and reasonable price. I do think that they were lacking with the banchan, or side dishes. They also did not offer to refill any of these side dishes, such as the kimchi. I also requested a soybean soup, which came very salty and tasted more like a packaged miso broth rather than a legitimate "daeng-jan" taste that was implied by the name. A new server came for his shift and stated that he had tried the soup and it was made incorrectly, and offered to replace my soup. However, he took my soup and never returned for the next 30 minutes that I was there, so I guess I will never know how the soup was supposed to taste. Overall, I would say that the quality of pork belly was 10/10, as was the doshirak rice/egg lunchbox. I would recommend this place because you get a good bang for your buck. However, if you are looking for genuinely Korean food that tastes traditional, this is not the place for you. read more

167°F Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

So let me start by saying any review that had a complaint about cooking yourself didn't understand the idea of the restaurant... the grill at your table is the BEST part! They bring the meat out fresh to the table as ordered and you can get all the sides you'd like (try the kimchi ) they have a wide selection of alcoholic drinks but please give the Soju a try. If you have questions or can't cook they will do for it you and it will be amazing I promise!! We drove 5-6 hours just to come here for my bday dinner. It was totally worth it!! Makes for a great date night or girls trip!! Plus they have three different all you can eat menus to choose from or if you want you guys can order the single dishes made in the kitchen brought to your table. read more

If you have a good to high standard of a Korean bbq experience--this place will not meet the standard. The grates get way too hot and scorch the meat before it's cooked. We couldn't enjoy a meal here. They tried turning the heat down but it didn't help. The manager initially tried to charge us for one meal even though we were unable to cook any edible meat and ended up agreeing to charge us $10 for the sides....the rice. There aren't premium beef options on the meat and the sauces aren't what we've come to expect from Korean bbq. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon after helping our daughter move out of her apartment. Very hungry and ready to eat. No wait for a table! We are quite familiar with Korean BBQ and so we know what to expect. The restaurant: Quality meat, great service, and good price. All you can eat Korean Barbeque can't get any better than this location. The marinates were spot on and the variety on the menu is impressive. I would recommend it to anyone who ask. The concept: if you've never tried grilling your own food at the table, give it a try (if you don't mind working/cooking your food). read more

Not to be too dramatic, but this meal will change your life! Each item I sampled seemed to be better than the last.

The staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful in guiding me on my culinary journey. My only regret is that I now carry the dark curse of this meal with me.

It was a very fun experience and great for a first date. You do cook the meals for yourself which can be a positive and negative. Our table sometimes overcooked the food but that was our own fault.

It's expensive nowadays. Back to when it was just started years ago, $10 for basic and $20 for premium, I think that was pretty good. Now, if you want to have a decent meat, it is easily $30+. The service does not change. Sometimes it's really slow. You have to wait for a long time to get your next orders. Sometimes, the waiters are not friendly. Looks like they hate what they are doing. The food overall is good. I think that's the only good thing. read more

I used to live next to Korea Town, Los Angeles and hadn't had real Korean BBQ since moving away. 167° does it right and their meats, sides, sauces were all delicious. The service was excellent - we were seated and explained how the menu worked and then our waiter came over and took our drink order while we narrowed down our first four meats. My wife and I went with the Deluxe option and our favorites were the chicken bulgogi and thin cut brisket. The pork belly and pork loin were delicious as well.

I had all-you-can-eat Korean style BBQ lunch with my daughter today and the meat quality as well as the server were superb. We had thin brisket, chadol, and garlic marinated pork, manul samgyupsal, along with green onion salad, pa muchim. Steamed rice as well as egg soup and other dishes were all included in the lunch price of $15.99 each. Our server, Christian, was very pleasant and professional. Our grill was changed to new one 3 times during our visit (basically as soon as it was needed), and he made sure we were served properly throughout our meal. I have visited during the dinner time before, and it was usually pretty packed and hectic. I enjoyed the less crowded, easygoing pace of lunchtime visit today. read more

I came here when they first opened and I mean within like the first week or so and the staff wasn't really prepared for how to service a Korean barbecue restaurant and the meat quality was questionable. But to say that they've improved is an understatement. The waiters are more than happy to help you figure out how to cook everything if you don't know how and will help you pick out something you like off the menu as well. Quality of the meats have improved so much. Come hungry, really hungry. I don't know what it is about buffets that make people feel like they have to eat so much but in particular at a place where the main thing to eat is grilled meat this is something to keep in mind. At the price point everyone wants to feel like they get their money's worth too. Don't blame you. Favorite items off the menu I encourage you to try: Premium Chadol: thinly sliced beef, tastes good with rice and some of the brown sauce and a bit of salt Samgeypsal: Pork belly, I like to eat this the way it's meant to be in that it's wrapped in lettuce Neukgansal: beef rib meat, best marinade of anything here, super tender and nice in a lettuce wrap or with some rice Enjoy with a beer or a bottle of soju to share with friends read more
