We accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant, when our original evening plans fell through. What a…read morepleasant surprise!! We did the NZ$25 AYCE dinner. You get traditional Korean sides (kimchi, bean curd stuff, pickled potatoes, etc.), soup, dumplings, shredded salad, white rice, and three different types of meats for BBQ (chicken, pork, and beef). Get the sides and sauces yourself at the middle tables. For the meats, they'll keep brining them out to you as long as it looks like you're eating everything. The staff was friendly. Atmosphere is relaxed and there's a good amount of tables. Good for big groups! They have free WiFi if you ask for it. Come here if you're hungry and in the mood for Korean food. Not the "best" KBBQ I've ever had, but it's a good deal for the AYCE.

It took the kitchen quite a while to have our orders served because there was a big tour group came…read morein about the same timers. We had to get get our own side dishes-contrary to what we experienced before that the waiter brought them to our table. Also the selections of the side dishes were fewer than what we were accustomed to. The pancake was very delicious! My vegetarian bibimbop was up to my expectation too.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Do not go to Seoul Restaurant in…read moreRotorua. The staff were not only rude, but they also tried to scam us by adding hidden surcharges to our bill. When we questioned it, they claimed it was because we were paying with a credit card -- but we weren't. We were using EFTPOS, which does not incur any extra fee. That's outright dishonest. The food was terrible. Low-quality meat, poor taste, and the so-called "unlimited refill" is a complete lie. The staff got visibly angry when we tried to order more meat or side dishes -- even though it was advertised as all-you-can-eat. This place feels like a tourist trap, and they clearly take advantage of people who don't know better. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. Save your money and avoid the frustration.

Fish cake on the banchan doesn't look fresh. We ordered kimchi jjigae, spicy squid BBQ (both a little too spicy for me) and oxtail bone soup (there isn't any bone actually but after adding a little salt, it's pretty good). A lot of people ordered the BBQ pork & squid (2ppl portion) which is served on a grill on the table. There's a sign saying that if you want refill for banchan, you have to pay. There's also minimarket in the store.

The kimchi that was served with the side dishes was probably one of the better kimchis I've ever had. The dolsot bibimbap could have been better. Only had a very skimp serving of beef in there. For the price could have been better. Otherwise the soup/stew dishes were nice. Flavourful but serving again was very small for the price.

Amazing. Perfect for a cold winter night in Hamilton! The lamb stew was delicious. The spicy…read morechicken was perfectly spicy and sweet. Loved it and would fully recommend this place. Staff are lovely and attentive!

Add a side of kimchi and you're guaranteed a heavenly experience. The service is mediocre, but you can't really ask for higher quality Korean food at noon on a Tuesday. So, don't complain. You might be turned off by the tired look of the place from the outside... and the inside... but don't get distracted. Just try it!

There is a selection of the usual Korean dishes like bibimbap, bulgogis, tofu stew, etc as well as the famous Korean BBQ. You get 4 side dishes with most orders. Not the most special side dishes but are generally well made. I had this huge craving for some Korean fried chicken and went with the honey soy chicken, but was a bit disappointed with the taste. The fried chicken was mostly batter and not much meat. The service was pretty average, but thats the general experience from most asian diners. Would probably return again to try out the BBQ... it sure smelled nice from the table next to me!
