I just went on a sunday evening, not much crowd though abit warm. The cooked food section is average with a few dishes that are nice. Variety of the buffet is pretty decent, not lacking but just nice. The meat is pretty good. I took the pork collar, beef belly, marinated beef belly, beef ribs. The bulgogi chicken is decent, bulgogi beef abit salty. The bbq are mainly for the meat. I’m a meat lover so no qualms about that. Pretty great place for cheap and good korean bbq just like the author of the blog said.
I never expect for any service during a buffet, just minimum service like clearing plates etc. Since buffets are mainly self service oriented.
To be honest, I was surprised to see a conflict in the reviews here left by some of the comments. But I was glad I went for it, it was pretty decent, maybe others need to learn how to be less demanding.

Why do you all say cooked foods are tasteless?
For those people out there, the meat is standard, not too low quality, not too extreme. Thus, taste depends on how you cook. Maybe they don’t know how to cook? they don’t know that Koreans dip the meat into salt/soy paste + wrap in vege. and they probably over cooked it. Some retards just complain when it’s their own fault.

Tried yesterday. Eat myself happy. 2 pax spent around $60. Ordered a coke $2. Dinner time. Have free flow ice water . Good food, clean environment. Plenty of good beef and most importantly pork belly meat!

I ate at Blue Garden bbq restaurant last week.
It does not use charcoal Bbq unlike Ju Shin Jung restaurant.
The service is very good (Filipina girl attended to me) and the bbq meats are so tasty! I love the chicken wings
(it’s something like 4 fingers at Ion)
If you guys have ever eaten at Ju Shin Jung (East Coast )
and (West Coast) branch, you will feel this place has more variety of meats .
However, I do agree there is limited variety of cooked food and you have to pay for your own soft drinks.

Have made a reservation to dine this evening there. After reading your comments, were thinking to cancel…

The food at this place was lousy. Very limited selection, and like the others before me said, the food was cold.

By the way, we made a mistake of ordering Tiger Beer there, and they charged us $30 per bottle. PER BOTTLE! Yes, you read that right.

I will never visit this restaurant again.

Quite a disspointing trip, the cooked food were cold, and when it runs out, they don’t replenish. (8.30pm) Cook food were mostly tasteless.. and the korean rice cake were too hard.. soup were blend.. and as what others mentioned, the service was bad..
One try is too much.

Overall rating is 2/10, will not go again.

Now call New Blue Garden Korean BBQ.Had lunch with friends for buffet last saturday @ $19.90 + service charge but no service at all.
The meat section is limited.Cooked food were cold, dukbokie is hard.Garlic chicken wing quite tasty.Not worth a try for the price plus no dessert at all. Disappointed.

Continue: All the soup and cooked food served (even the fresh ones) were all cold! If not, just Luke warm. (Even the ginseng chicken soup, which does not taste like ginseng chicken soup -.-). Thirdly, they only served plain water. I am mostly disgusted by their service because I see them sitting down, chit chatting with one another (wa, so easy to earn money ar). Seriously, for around $22, I will choose Seoul garden over this any day! Seoul garden is cheaper, more variety of food and the service there is 100x better. Not to mention, they have soup base for you! I will rate this restaurant 2/10. Really bad experience and regretted coming here.

Came to this website and i went to try at this restaurant. It really really is not value for money and totally ruined my day. Firstly, the service there is really bad (and I dont know why we have to pay $10 for service when we practically don’t feel served at all). Point to note: we were the only ones there. I would say that the service is quite bad because they seem to be unhappy when we ask for them, because the meat just don’t seem to cook (fire is not strong enough) so we ended up eating cooked food instead (defeats the purpose of going to a kor BBQ). Secondly, the variety of food is really limited.

Went there for the bbq buffet.meat is well marinated and delicious. I love the garlic chicken very much.They only serve plain water and other drinks have to be purchased separately. I thought that the korean bbq at katong is better but of course,the price is slightly more expensive too.

Oh yes, Korean food is one of my favourites. I do enjoy beef, but I doubt I can stomach that much beef in one sitting.I’d be happy to fill stomach with lots of kimchi! I’m a big kimchi fan. It seems like I ought to get some of my friends to pig out with me soon:)

Thanks for this recommendation! Shall try it asap. I initially thought the Crystal Jade one at Nex was Korean…but then when i went in and took a peek, there wasn’t any of those typical small Korean dish appetisers, so my frens and i headed to the one at Centrepoint. We paid $29.90++ for the weekend buffet dinner. The service was…’rolls eyes’. And some of the orders didn’t arrive. The seafood fried rice was crap. Needless to say, i wanna see how this one will be like..XD

hi!

I’m a big korean bbq fan! Thanks so much for this post! I’ve tried Red Pig bbq restaurant (the garlic chicken bbq is nice) and soju bang at tanjong pagar (20 sgd they only open from 530pm- but they use hot grills, not like this one).

I’ll go and try this one too! thanks!!!
