This is by my favorite place to eat. It's a bit expensive $32.00 per person but it's all u can eat. I love how u cook your food at the table, and the service is great. Make sure you go there hungry. The whole place had been renovated and a nice atmosphere read more

$25 (+Tax) for all you can eat Kalbi is a win for me. They also have different selection of meats so I'm sure there's something for everyone. However, I felt the banchan (Side dishes) was a little blend. As for staffs, the manager as well as the waitresses were friendly and professional. Can't wait to go back! If you're wondering, it's BYOB (Bring Your Own Beer). read more

Not sure about all the good reviews. It doesn't seem like we went to the same buffet!!! My two kids and I went here for a quick dinner during the week around 5pm. When we walked in there was no one there! All the lights were off and there was no staff but the buffet tables were full of dried out looking food. The buffet table lights were off as were the warmers. I must say it was like we walked into another realm of the world! Needless to say, we did not dine here because it looked like they were just begging for ONE customer. Very creepy! Won't be returning here. EVER! read more

The meat selection/quality and side dishes here are not bad at all. More of a 3.5-4 star joint BUT there is absolutely no ventilation in the place and it's a bit of an eye sore when you see the grease stains on the ceiling. Unless i can jump in the shower straight from my table, I usually avoid the place. read more

Had an okay experience here. The grills are simple and kind of cool to cook on. It was my first ever experience with Korean bbq and it was a fairly nice introduction. food was tasty but not overwhelmingly memorable. I was a little put off by some of the other customers grabbing ALL of the cuts of meat that I wanted in the raw buffet line. In order to get your food you needed to get up and find the cuts of meat you wanted to cook. In theory, cool to pick your own meat, but I worry a lot about cross contamination and it looked like some customers were picking up chicken, beef or pork with the same set of tongs and putting them where ever they wanted. I ended up waiting for a new bath of meat to come out and asked for a new set of tongs. I had no problems grilling the veggies! I may return here, I may not. Having no control over the Cross contamination definitely put me off. I will most definitely second guess my return to this location. read more

The best Korean BBQ I ever had. My family loves this place. Korea is like family.He always greets us with a smile.The food is always fresh and delicious also great for party's. A must try!!! You will be back. read more

The food there are great! You can have as much as you can. And the soups there are amazing. If they can serve tofu there, it will be a bonus. The only cons I've found are that the kimchi are not sour and spicy enough. The services are great. They did not only help me with bbq but also teach me how to eat the beef with vegetables and sauces. read more

This is a review for a BUFFET not a 5 star white table linen dining experience. I was there 2 days ago. They have a wide selection of meats, which were of high quality that day. Being Korean I need good banchan(side dishes) this place had a good selection. So far it's my favorite korean buffet. The server's were also very nice and attentive. I'll be back next week to see if it's consistent. read more

It was nice place. I heard about that place from my friend before I read other's review. I don't understand other reviewer's opinion. Actually I don't like meat much but the kalbi was very very good. NOt too much sweet as like other restaurant and also other side dishes were very neat and clean. I am pretty sure they don't use MSG much becuz I am very sensitive to msg there was white rice(steemed), fried rice, brown rice and 3 kinds of soup Just smoky at the first time because of using natural chacoal Serving was also good. They took care of the meat and grill every 2~3 min, cleaning the grill more than 10 times. The one thing I hate there was it's cold inside. read more

Love the food here but this place needs updating very bad. The workers are really nice.

After enhancing my reality via snicker doodles, this establishment became a utopia of meat and self-service. That asian lady kept tryna cook my food, but i wasnt havin it, cause geuss what? You can cook you're own damn food here, which is how god wants it. Overall, totally worth going to. read more

The food was amazing! But what was more amazing was the customer service! They were all really genuine and super nice! The person in charge, who we met was super nice to us, and introduced himself to us, and really made us feel welcomed! The overall vibe had a one big family vibe to it, was really friendly and will 100% return ASAP! read more

All you can eat buffet! Yes please! Stumbled across this gem while looking for a good Korean place. They are an all you can eat buffet. Food is cooked right at your table. You can cook to your liking and they will be more than happy to help. Quality of food was up to par and so so yummy. Price is a little up there, but if you have an appetite it's worth it. They have a small bar also, and do Kareoke as well. Check them out when you are ready to eat eat eat! read more

Extremely pricey and the meat for the Plan B is ok, but all the side dishes aren't very good. Plan C is literally just the side dishes and its already roughly $20. Also, the server constantly stared at us as we ate, which was very uncomfortable. For the price and quality, I would not recommend coming here. read more

Great food, great service. Definitely would recommend to anybody. I was ver satisfied with the service and quality of food.

An all you can eat Korean BBQ. Eat until you're tired of meat!!! Lol... the four stars is because it would be better if some of the other meats were seasoned. But they cook your food for you at the table, all you have to do is head to the buffet to pick out your food to cook. read more

I met the owner tonight, and he is a magnificent change of pace from the old ones. This place is leagues better than how it used to be! and I was informed that some very exciting changes are coming! I was put off because I didn't know how to operate during such a thrilling culinary experience, but the servers will quickly caught me up to speed in such a friendly way. This is would be a wonderful place to take a date. Outstanding selection of out-of-this-world tasting meats, and my Korean friends tell me it's as authentic as it gets. read more

I like the new layout. Very nice. When you walk in, the place has a clean feeling to it, not a dingy hole in the wall spot that's really smoky and makes you feel like you were working in a sweatshop. This place is well ventilated, new, and very clean. The only thing that could be confusing to some people is the menu. There is menu A that includes kalbi, bulgogi, beef brisket, and shrimp and then there's menu B which is cheaper and doesn't include what menu A has. When we ordered the menu A, we were told that children 5 and up was $18. My kids don't eat that much meat, but we were charged $23 per child because they were eating kalbi. The manager came and explained to us why we were charged, and since it was our first time, he gave us a discount for next meal and also revert to the original charge of $18 per child since we didn't know. That was very nice. Also with the menu A, were weren't sure how much kalbi or bulgogi you can order per person. It was good enough though. Overall, great experience, very attentive staff, nice management, and nice place. Just make sure to ask questions before ordering. read more

the food was amazing and the service we received was even better . they made our party feel at home and made my wife's bday super special. thank you to the manager who had help us out tremendously throughout the whole night. read more

Excellent, helpful service. Tasty food!

Korean BBQ is among one of favorite crusine therefore I have a pretty high standard for it. Once in a while I come to Philly for business, thus far I have eaten this place three times. I have to say the quality and freshness of their items are top notch. The meat selection isn't extraordinary but their brisket is fresh, chewy and tender all at the same time. Their cold dish selection is among the best I've seen, every time I was here they are very fresh which some time can be hard to maintain. In additional to the foods, the young waiters that works there are very friendly and courteous which make my dinning experience even more pleasant. read more

Food was good, typical korean bbq grill. Price is reasonable,and servers were kind.

Wonderful service, excellent food! Definitely worth the trip. We have a big group and everyone loved something. Even the soup is delicious. They also worked with us with children pricing which is very reasonable! Totally recommended! read more

super good food. for a Korean BQQ place - the price is the best i have seen. most places make you by per person and it can add up. here it is just flat rate all you can eat. please go and try it!!!! read more

I have been eating Korean food for many years as it's one of my favorite cuisines, and let me tell you, Korean Grill House in Upper Darby is absolutely the best I've ever had. It's under new ownership, and has been for the last four months (since October 2017). The owner is a wonderful young guy who makes it obvious that he pours his heart and soul into the place. The structure was once a diner, but it's been through an extensive remodel, and it looks beautiful. The layout of the buffet is pretty much the same as the old ownership, but the food is far superior. It's a fixed price for all you can eat, and the buffet includes a huge variety of meats, banchan, soups, rices, tonkatsu and other hot entrees, fresh vegetables and salads, sauces and condiments. Our bill for two people was around $74, and that includes tax, alcohol and soft drinks. The banchan selections were SO fresh and delicious! We went pretty late, around 8:00pm, and everything tasted like it had just come out the kitchen. The kimchi was 100% perfectly balanced in flavor, with just the right of mix of spicy, salty, sweet and vinegary, and it was incredibly tender. Sometimes I have problems chewing through kimchi, but this absolutely melted in my mouth. Also on the buffet was kimchi fried rice, which was out of this world. It was made with the traditional, bouncy, sticky Korean rice that lends so much wonderful texture to the meal. Now on to the star of the show: the meats. I tried the galbi, soy ribs, pork belly, marinated brisket, marinated pork, marinated chicken, and the bulgogi. There were also seafood selections but my husband is allergic so we didn't try those. The marinated meats were absolutely like heaven on Earth! They all tasted different, each one having its own unique flavor profile. The marinades were smokey, spicy, and garlicky, with a hint of sweetness to balance the other bold flavors. The meats are of the highest quality, and the owner let us know he sources them locally himself, which makes a world of difference. They were absolutely spectacular. Best of all, we were allowed to cook our own food, which we really enjoy doing. Other places insist on cooking the food and controlling the grill, which takes all the enjoyment out of it. I even had one waitress at a different place turn off our grill pointedly after two rounds to the buffet! Not here. We absolutely loved being able to completely control our own meal. Of course, the owner, who also tends to the tables, is more than willing to assist with cooking as much as the customer wants. The restaurant also has beer, wine, sake, and mixed drinks available, and it enhanced our evening greatly to enjoy a bottle of carbonated sake and a glass of delicious house white wine. What a delectable and marvelous experience! I highly recommend Korean Grill House in Upper Darby for a highly satisfying, fun, and delicious meal. read more

This is officially my new favorite Korean bbq spot! The owners were so sweet and helpful. It's all you can eat and you'll leave happy! They're variety of meats and side dishes like other Korean bbq joints. All you can eat bbq is $30 per person. read more

Love it! It was $30.95/person but all you can eat. There was a choice of white or brown rice, miso soup, variety of raw meat and marinated meat, also had raw shrimp. I definitely recommend the spicy bulgogi item on the buffet and the pork belly. They have varieties of side dishes too: kimchi, fermented bok choy, cucumber kimchi, seasoned bean sprout, etc. They also have kimchi fried rice, japchae, scallion pancake and all those type of items in the buffet. Sodas are included in the all you can eat...not so sure about the alcohol tho since I didn't drink at all. The waiters replace your grill all the time and they will offer to gril things for you and cut it for you but you can politely decline. The two waiters that were there were super nice and friendly and was on top of things even when it starts to get busy in the restaurant. I definitely had a great time and had my meals worth over there. People who think $30 is too expensive for korean bbq dont't understand 1) in order to get your meals worth of your money, don't stuff yourself with all the other side dishes. Some side dishes are supposed to enhance the flavor when you make a wrap, but it isn't there to fill you up. 2) if you actually go to a korean bbq that is not a buffet, it is ridiculously expensive. A plate of meat can go up between $20-$25 and they only give you tiny amounts and usually they have so many rules in how to order the meats. So my point is, $30 for all you can eat meat and sodas are worth it! Come with an empty stomach!! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

All you can eat meats, and apetizers and all for around $25 a person...How can you complain? A 12 oz steak at outback is freaking $20 already! Parking isn't that great, but can't have it all right? read more

After coming back here, I must say that I honestly feel somewhat discriminated against due to not being Korean. For example, the wait staff is very courteous and basically hands off with the Korean folks eating in the restaurant. However, in both of the times I was here, I felt that we were being somewhat rushed through our meal and unnecessarily waited on with regards to cooking our meat. If I take the time to clear the grill off so I can put my kalbi on and get a nice sear, I don't need the waitress coming over, grabbing my tongs, flipping it around and overcrowding the grill with more meat from my plate so it can effectively steam. I understand that they want to move tables through, but I think this is unacceptable. There were TONS of open tables and the place was dead when we were there our 2nd time, so it was totally unnecessary. I even attempted to tell the wait staff that we can handle cooking our own meat, but it was not adhered to. They were certainly not going over to the other Korean folks' tables and messing around with their meat on the grill. Bottom line, it's a decent place, but don't be surprised if you are treated differently for not being Korean. read more

It was almost the only Korean BBQ around at the time so we drove about half an hour there, but I have to say we were really disappointed. We were there on a Saturday for lunch, and they had a very small selection of meat and veggies. The taste itself was ok, nothing special. But it was exceptionally expensive. They charged us around $35 per person. The lunch would be fine if it was around $15, but for $35 it really is not worth it. Will not come again. read more

I just ate here with wife and son. The owner changed last week or so, he was previous owner from Jenkin town BBQ place. this is a family oriented casual restaurant, not fancy one, but neat places. Great all you can eat Korean BBQ-all kinds of BBQ-beef, Galbi, Bulgogi, pork, chicken, shirimp and sea food. There are also 20 other dishes-kimchi, tofu, roasted fish, lomein, linguini, tofu dishes. then you can finish with fruits. Soup and rice are also included in the course.If you are a meat lover, this is a good place!! read more

I was disappointed going there, not that everyone there was Korean and I was the only guy there along with some other dude with his Korean girlfriend, service was slow at first, the meat was good, but I did not like the atmosphere. Parking was not that good. It was well over-priced for the variety. I have been to many Chinese buffets, seafood buffets, Italian, international, steakhouses... and various buffets in many locations in PA, NJ, DE, Maryland and one place I found in Manhattan. I have been to the all you can eat wings and ribs joints in the past. While I am not a fan of buffets anymore since I have become an athlete once again to cut out the fat, I had to see what a Korean buffet was like and I would go to Cici's all you can eat pizza instead. Most chinese buffets are reasonably priced, what made this place think they had the right to charge $27.55 for a ten dollar joint? This was not a pleasant experience. I did not like the smoke all over from cooking at each table. The place did not look clean and the food did not look fresh and was not well stocked but then it seemed that a full house of Korean speaking people just loaded most of the stuff on their plates and the bathroom did not look that clean. It stunk in there whether it was the kind of food that I don't normally eat including kimchi, those non meat items did not look fresh or appetizing to me, and the stink turned me off. I will never go there again and for 27 bucks when it should have been 15 at the most was a RIP OFF. I AM the king of buffets since 1987. Hey man if you got a girl with you, don't take her there. Perhaps other Korean BBQ buffets are better than this place. Dave read more

I have tried so many korean buffet/restaurant such as Ilmee, HoneyPig, Korshi, Iron Age, Heebin all located in VA. I think Korean Grill House was the best restaurant experience I've had. I'm a picky eater and I don't like buffet but it was my first time to Philly and the family wanted to try new things. First off, I really liked the structure of the restuarant. Food and foundation drinks were stationed onto the right side of the entrance and onto left side was the seating. I couldn't count how many dishes but there was alot. Servers were attentive and friendly. I know I'm one of those customer that asks for water and napkins nonstop but the server kept up with me pretty food. No doubt on the food. I really loved the galbi. One other thing that I really liked was the TVs. I love watching music videos at korean restuarants. I don't really watch TV but it keeps me entertained while I eat my food. There were TVs all around and I loved it lol. Overall, I loved the atomosphere and the restaurant itself. I would definitely recommend this place. Thanks for the great experience ;) read more
