Dear Barbecue Buffet

The place was so nice, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from — everything was super yummy! The staff were incredibly sweet, especially the chef. He went out of his way to understand our preferences and even suggested dishes, since we weren’t very familiar with Korean cuisine. It truly felt like a home-cooked meal with such thoughtful care and attention. We had such a sweet experience and will definitely come again. Highly recommend it to all our friends!

Great range for such a cheap price! Would not mind eating their original fried chicken, and their la Galbi. Meat however is a bit frozen. Also love their sweet potato fried balls with salted egg or cheese.

The Korean BBQ was great. The meat was fresh and tasty, and the side dishes were really good. Everything was cooked at the table, and the service was fast and friendly. I’d go again.

$40 for AYCE is a good price for me personally. I came here quite late, almost at 9 PM. I noticed a sign that said “halal” but it only applied to the chicken and beef. However, I also saw that pork was served, which might be the reason why some people felt misled or thought it was a scam. For the sake of clarity, I think it would be better to remove the halal sign altogether. Since I arrived late, there weren’t many people around, and I didn’t experience the smoky atmosphere that others mentioned in their reviews. This place seems to be “a family-run business.” The staff don’t wear uniforms and move around casually, almost as if they’re at home. That’s why I gave 3 stars for the atmosphere. As for the service, it was okay. Not great, but not bad either. Compared to other AYCE places I’ve been to, this one doesn’t offer many side dishes but since the price less than them; it’s OK. Still, I personally think it’s worth trying. I also liked that they provided cones for the ice cream. Would I come again? Yes, definitely. I might even return tomorrow. They offer a discount for late dinners, but only on Fridays. However, it might not be worth it. When I arrived late, several food options were no longer available as they were preparing to close. UPDATED I visited them again on 21 June 2025. It was full and since I didn’t reserve I had to wait. It didn’t take so long, but yeah I experienced the “smoke”. I could smell the smoke in all over my jacket and clothes. Anyway I still find it worth to try. Personally I prefer to visit after 9 since it is better, I don’t have to “fight” with smoke.

Came back for the third time! There were so many side dishes and banchan; fried food, sushi, fish cake,… There were a variety of meat types; wagyu, marinated, sausages, ribs,… And definitely the same with desserts too. It was $45pp which is decent for a Sunday night!!

When I first visited about a year ago, the menu boasted a much wider variety of options. Although the range has since become more focused, the quality of their meat and cooked dishes remains impressive. They continue to cater to diverse tastes, offering everything from succulent spare ribs to fresh fruits, delightful desserts, refreshing ice cream, and a selection of hearty vegetables. This curated range ensures that whether you’re in the mood for a rich, savory meal or something sweet and refreshing, there’s still plenty to enjoy.

Dear BBQ is a paradise for all-you-can-eat lovers! The variety is amazing — unlimited Wagyu, fresh meats, sushi, plenty of cooked dishes, and even a big selection of ice cream to finish off your meal. Everything was fresh and tasty, and there’s so much to choose from. Great spot if you’re looking to eat your heart out and enjoy a good mix of BBQ and Japanese-style food!
