Wow! Wow! Wow! Did I say wow?!?!?
Authentic Korean for sure! I have been on the hunt for months here in Ottawa! We finally found our gem!
Honestly, it's not even worth doing the AYCE. If you order from the table top BBQ a la carte menu you get unlimited side refills, rice and lettuce. They also told me (at the restaurant) that the a la carte meat is better quality.
I didn't try AYCE - instead my husband and I did 1 plate of beef(TB2 -$16.95) and 1 combo plate(TB6 -$17.95).
We received 4 side dishes (bean sprouts, kimchi, seaweed and Bok choy). We also got rice, lettuce and an amazing sauce to go with the lettuce wraps.
Honesty, this was more than enough food for 2 people. If you are looking for just BBQ. This is it!!!!!!!!!!!
Compares to authentic Korean BBQ from Toronto, Montreal and NYC! Yes I've been around !
Do not shy away because it's downtown - it's worth the hunt for parking.
There is metered parking outside and around the area.
The staff is amazing! Super friendly and kind. They explained everything to me. I had a million questions to ensure I got the best meal for my $!
They also answer questions on Facebook if you are looking to ask anything specific.
All the haters on here, you truly are missing out or have no idea what authentic Korean food tastes like.
The food was amazing. The server we had was fast and polite. Can't wait to go back.
Delicious food! Service is sometimes hit or miss but the food is excellent regardless!
We ordered 30 take-out meals for a large work group and they executed it flawlessly! The food tasted amazing and they were so accommodating! I highly recommend this place and I would definitely order from here again.
Went here purposely avoiding the Korean BBQ. If it's not an actual table grill the food always takes too long to cook. I wouldn't recommend this place for Korean BBQ as I watched as groups of 4 can cooking meat pretty damn slowly.
The overall experiment was decent. The place was cold as they wanted to save on heating and the environment was bare bones with plain tables and chairs (I prefer that, as I come for food and not for the atmosphere). I got the sm1 item - bulgogi with spicy tofu/seafood soup. The food quality was between low to average as the beef was dry and the seafood had been sitting in the soup for a while which made it tasteless. They overcharged me 4 bucks for some random reason because they didn't keep track of who ordered what. Wasn't too happy about that . I will definitely come back, and it's worth the try. The prices are good for what you get. Ottawa just doesn't have a big enough Korean population for amazing Korean food.
The AYCE options are pretty great and for the price it is quite affordable for korean bbq. The banchan (complimentary items) are delicious but getting refills proved to be difficult. The sushi is also very fresh and delicious even compared to full on sushi restaurants.
The service was pretty subpar it took us three tries to get a hold of a server to give us cups and to take are plates away. Getting the sever to take our order from the AYCE sheet was also difficult since they do not check on you often. When we asked for 1/2 order of meat they were accommodating but very slow to bring it to us.
Overall the experience of the restaurant service is not great but the food makes it worth it.
One of the Best Korean BBQs next koreana .they feel the same. But one is close for me. It can get pricey. But this korean bbq is the place to go in Ottawa. It is in great location. This will fill you up for sure if you are willing to wait for the cooking of meats. We usually just cook beef and order sushi
This is a great place to go if you want some delicious Korean food. I had the Soft Soon Tofu and it was quite tasty. Of course, as customary with Korean meals, there were plenty of sides as well to excite one's palate.
The restaurant itself was pretty busy when I was there, so I did have to wait a while to be served, but it was clear that the staff were working hard and I think I was given an extra side while waiting, which was a nice gesture.
Food: 8/10
Loner Rating: 3/10 (Not the easiest place to go alone, to be honest).
Atmosphere: 6.5/10
Location: 7.5/10
Gamjatang is a satisfying bowl of meaty pork bones and potato chunks, simmered in a deeply flavoured and hearty broth. Excellent value for under $10! Sushi is of good quality and quantity. This is the perfect Korean restaurant for families who don't all love spicy stews and grilled meat. The banchan are more generous than other Korean restaurants in the area.
Their Korean BBQ left a lot to be desired. Not much variety in terms of meat and vegetables.
However, for their buffet, they have a decent selection which includes appetizers and sushi. Their sushi is so fresh, not too much rice, and probably rivals actual AYCE restaurants and a-la-carte places I've been to so far in the Ottawa region. They do not skimp on the fish on their nigiri, that's for sure. I would go here alone just for their sushi - even if it is a limited number of items on their menu.
Only complaint is that it's really hot in the restaurant. Made even worse with a grill in your face.
Went for dinner here the other night for AYCE BBQ and Sushi, and it was really good! For $20.95 you get all you can eat sushi rolls and BBQ meats, which are very tasty, tender, marinated well, which gives the meat a great taste. espite the horrible service (kind and friendly) but slow and inattentive. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good Korean BBQ and sushi with an AYCE value. Warning: don't go here if you don't want to pay to cook your own food, because that is essentially what you are doing, but that is half the fun. That being said, they do have a regular menu you can order from. Overall, I like it, go check them out!
Yum!. Great food. Try the beef! Service was just ok. Decor was definitely lacking. Would have been nice to get dessert with the AYCE but the BBQ is really the star here. Would go again.
Awesome! First time dining.... Awesome!
First time dining here and we were pleasantly surprised. The little apps you get to start were tasty. Yummy homemade kimchi and greens. Delicous marinated beef (good grade meat). Service was efficient and friendly despite the many times she had to run back and forth for our table. So glad we found this little restaurant. We will definitely be back again.
Pleasant Experience!. If you're craving Korean food and can't stand waiting in line for more than half an hour at Alirang, this place is worth a look. I haven't tried the all you can eat, but the individual dishes are very nicely done and the meats are flavourful. I believe that all meals come with complementary side dishes, which is also an added bonus (although our miso soup today was cold). Service is also quick and nice, a pleasant change from a lot of Asian restaurants in Ottawa ;P
Had a super yummy meal in an almost empty resto. Don't let the blinds fool you - go inside for a reasonably priced, delish meal! Really friendly service - fun to grill your own meat and love the side dishes.
SO GOOD!. Having never eaten Korean food before, I was persuaded to go to this restaurant by a friend who said it was fantastic - and boy was she right! I've gone back several times since.
You get a huge quantity of food for a very reasonable price - and the food is delicious. I always see a lot of people go for the BBQ, but my favourite is the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap. At $12.95, it is amazing.
The service is extraordinarily friendly and very quick. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good deal on Asian food in Ottawa. And certainly a great place to go before heading over to the Bytown Cinema.
Mindblown food!. Was looking for good korean bbq. This place was amazing! Usually larger franchises have either good meat or good sushi but never both. MuGoongHwa Garden was amazing! The grill comes out as a separate tool which kind of made it a bit messy, but the meat was so tasty and the sushi was so good! The side dishes were great and all food was definitely made with care. Would love to go back!

Good Korean BBQ with some Japanese options. We went here for an evening Korean BBQ. We both got the "all you can eat" menu, which is small but has most of the expected favourites. The attentive waiter brought over a table grill and lit it for us while he took our order.
We had a variety of BBQ meats and vegetables (chicken, beef, squid, some sort of sweet potato, onion); several deep fried pork dumplings; two bowls of miso soup; side dishes including bean sprouts and kimchi; and sushi including a few california rolls, some spicy salmon, and an egg sashimi.
Everything tastes as expected. The miso soup was on the mild side and my partner, who doesn't generally like miso, enjoyed it. The pork dumplings were small but very tasty and served piping hot.
Of the barbecue meats, the beef was the best. It had a very original sauce on it that I couldn't really describe, a little on the sweet end of things. The sushi was good but not particularly exciting--I found the spicy salmon to be generally mild.
As I said service was very attentive and friendly. The kitchen was playing a classical, jazz, and showtunes CD when we ate. Personally I actually liked the music, but it was a little unusual for a restaurant. Price for AYCE was $20.95 a person, which is a little more expensive than most buffet options but I believe still a fair price.
We'd definitely go again :)
The restaurant is owned by a really nice Korean family and the food is delicious! Great service with a smile :)
Great place to eat! You get an array of appetizers with every meal. The Bulgogi beef is awesome.
The food is delicious!
You should try bulgogi and grill ribs. It’s good 🤤🤤🤤 1 combo has rice, meat and soft tofu soup. The portion is very large, so if you can’t eat too much, you should order 1 combo for 2 and some side dishes like kimbap,…
Food was not too salty and well balanced. Felt like home cooked Korean food. Price was reasonable and generous portion for downtown location. Much enjoyed!
Nice little restaurant. Divided into regular dining and BBQ section. Lots of good authentic Korean dishes. Reasonable prices.
The food is pretty amazing, we ordered more than we could eat but I don't regret it. I would go back and bring my friends with me.
I've been to few Korean BBQ places between Toronto and Montreal and this is by far the best. The server was really nice and very attentive versus some other places I've been too.
Please keep in mind that Korean BBQ means that you cook your own meet as is traditional in Korea. Great for hanging out with friends and having drinks.
Have been going here regularly for the past 5 years. Korean staples of jiggae and main entrées are always of excellent quality and big portions. Family faves are the beef soon dubu jiggae, the mandu (dumpling) jiggae, the dolsot bibimbap, tteokbokki, LA Kalbi, and the pork tangsuyuk. Their banchan is also excellent, though simple ( its always kimchi, bean sprouts and a veg - usually broccoli) are fresh and delicious. Kimchi is house made and it is probably the tastiest kimchi I've had anywhere!
The food is fine and the portions are quite big, but if you want Korean BBQ and it's your first time and you don't understand what to do - it's not the best place for you, because you have to do everything yourself and there's no one to ask for help or instructions. I didn't expect that (I thought they will at least ask me if I want to grill the meat myself or not, cause I had no idea what to do).
My favourite Korean restaurant in Ottawa. My partner and I have been coming here since 2014. Food has consistently been fresh and tasty, and service is always friendly and attentive. We normally order from the regular menu (they also have AYCE table BBQ), and our favourite dishes are the seafood pancake, seafood tofu soup and the grilled short ribs (kalbi). Will continue to support them as long as they are open :)
