For $20 dinner AYCE is not bad. The korean bbq here is solid. I enjoyed grilling and having the freedom to get up and get as much meat as I liked without waiting for the waiter. The meat were marinated well and flavorful. Keep in mind the pork meat takes longer to cook. The spicy squid was my favorite and cooks pretty fast. You dont want to over cook the squid because it can be chewy. The chicken was delicious, too. They have a station for cooked items, soup, and rice. There was a garnish and salad/sides station and a raw meat station. I was all over the raw meat station and you can find array of selection of meat there. For the premium meat, you have to get it from your waiter because they dont want people wasting it. Its included in the AYCE price so dont worry! What I find nasty are the flies over the cooked items. I didnt eat any rice or bulgogi pre cooked meat. It was not a pretty site. I stuck with the raw meat and cook on my own and I made sure it was well cooked to kill any bacteria. Waiter and waitresses are nice. Remember to turn on the light at your table when you need something.

The food here is just amazing. My only complaint is that the customer service is lacking. Pros : All of the food is practically a pro. I especially liked the pork selections. The pork belly and the regular pork was good. The squid was also a very nice addition to the rest of the meats. The noodles, vegetables and seaweed were all scrumptious. If you dont want to grill too much the pre-cooked options are just as delicious. Cons : The server that we had was not very polite, but there was a slight language barrier in place. We asked for 1 lemonade which didnt show up until the end of our meal. Multiple servers came to switch out a single grill while the other was neglected completely. We walked into this place expecting table service (as in waiters coming to deliver food.) Instead we were met with a grill. If you arent one for a hands on experience then this place is not for you.

Korean BBQ, all you can eat for about $25 a person. Order steaks and other raw meat from the menu to be brought to the table, or grab bulgogi, fish, etc from the buffet. Then, cook the food yourself using the grill inset into the table. Soup, rice, and salad fixings are available at the buffet. Employees come by periodically to change out the grill-top for a fresh one; hit a button to turn on the light by the table if you need assistance. Korean music videos play silently on wall-mounted widescreen TVs. while top 40 plays over the speakers. After dinner, ginger tea and desserts are available to order. The place looks slightly fancy, but people show up in everything from jeans to business casual. Good for groups and people who enjoy the novelty of cooking your own food at the table. Show off your grill skillz, bro.

This place is gross. Theres a buffet table in the middle of the restaurant, where you can get your meat and side dishes. There were flies all around the buffet stations, and the meats are laid out in the open, vulnerable to contamination.. people misplaced the tongs (which was supposed to be specific for each meat). It didnt seem very sanitary, and I got food poisoning the next day. There are other meats on the menu that you can order that are not available at the buffet stations. Service is very slow, and our server became annoyed when we asked her to wipe down the table for us (when we were first seated). And youll be charged $20 if you have leftovers. The quality of the meat is subpar and not fresh. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Have been coming here since it opened along with the H-Mart next door. Its not very comparable to Guirock or Omi near Carrollton H-Mart but it serves its purpose for the Plano area. Service varies depending on the server you get but there is a light on each table and you can expect to have it serviced within a minute of turning it on. Ive never requested food that has been out of stock and for the most part the meats are of good quality. Kalbi cuts are getting thinner and thinner each time I go but it is a premium item so its expected. Staff seems well trained in switching out plates when it smokes up. Overall very recommended.

Avoid coming here on a weekend. The cuts of meat they serve are subpar and the service is incredibly slow. Furthermore, they seated us at a table that had no AC and the defective grill and the restroom sinks barely work. We will not be coming here again. Save yourself the time and money and go to Omi in Carrolton instead. The meat and quality is much better for nearly the same price. The quality of this restaurant has been decreasing precipitously. When it first opened, the meat was great and service was quick. Lately, however, the quality of the restaurant has dropped significantly.

When this first opened, they ran things similar to Omi in Carrolton, so things were a bit disorganized and the service was a bit slow. However, as they adapted to the people and got used to the "rush hours", they switched to a buffet line style of service that facilitated everything. Compared to Omi, the other Korean BBQ Buffet near Dallas, Jin is superior in that the waiters are many more times more hospitable and the food is superb. The only reason this is not a 5 is because I only give 5s if I die of a heart attack from the joy of eating at a fantastic restaurant.

This place is awesome! My friends and I LOVE coming here for dinner. Prime ribeye, short ribs, pork belly/chop/loin, fish, and chicken and it is ALL YOU CAN EAT! There is plenty of other very tasty options such as rice, noodles, soup, and salad bar, but my buddies and I mostly throw down on the short ribs and pork belly. Getting to grill the meats at your table is an added fun experience. Add it all up and you get great value for the price.

Better than Omi. I like the fact that its all you can eat. They have a bar for the raw meats for when you cook it yourself. They also have some foods if you dont want to cook. But wheres the fun in that!!! Last they have a another bar for your cold foods. Kimchi, tofu stuff like that. The price is about $20. Not bad. You will get your moneys worth. If you want to have some fun while you eat, this is the place to go.

Dinner is $20 a person for a cook-it-yourself style Korean buffet. They also have a few meats already cooked in the buffet line. The food was very good. The salad was fresh, they have a variety of well seasoned meats to choose from, and lots of rice. Be sure to order some of the meats from the menu too. Its a good place for family dinners or a fun date night. Just remember that you have to cook much of the meat yourself.
