Hongdae Buffet Siam Square One

We came across this Korean all-you-can-eat restaurant while walking around and decided to give it a try. They offer several pricing tiers starting at 299 baht, then 399 baht, and up to 599 baht per person. Since we’d never tried it before, we opted for the 399 baht tier (member's price). What we didn’t initially realize is that it’s a 90-minute time-limited buffet, and it’s strictly enforced. Once your time is up, you’re done — so keep that in mind if you’re expecting a more relaxed, open-ended dining experience. They provide a paper menu where you select your meats and other items, and the staff brings them to your table. We arrived around 5:00 pm when it wasn’t busy, and service was efficient. Orders came out quickly. By about 5:45 p.m., however, the restaurant had filled up, and service slowed slightly — though it was still reasonably fast. As for food quality, I would say it’s decent for the price, but not top-tier. We’ve had Korean BBQ in the U.S. and in Seoul, and the meat quality here doesn’t quite compare. Some of the items we received weren’t exactly what we remembered ordering, although to be fair, we weren’t completely certain what we had selected. Still, for the price point and local standards, it’s acceptable. The side dishes were a pleasant surprise. They replenish them when requested, and I was impressed to see quail eggs included. The kimchi was also quite good. But due to language barrier. It's always good to leave a small piece of whatever you want to refill. They offer self-serve drinks such as chrysanthemum tea, barley tea, and fruit punches. There’s also a small self-serve ice cream and fruit station. One downside is that the ice cream flavors aren’t labeled, so you’re guessing. We tried what seemed to be Thai tea and possibly lime sorbet. Since we’re not members and paid by credit card, there was a small surcharge. The final price came out to about 525 baht per person for 90 minutes. Overall, despite the meat not being premium quality, we were satisfied with the meal. For the price and variety offered, it’s a reasonable option if you’re looking for an affordable Korean BBQ experience in Thailand.

Sooo good. Me and my partner got the one for 399 baht (actually 470 baht) and it was soo worth it. Especially because of the extra honey toast. The meat here is so good. And there's a wide selection of tasty sides to get alongside the meat too. I highly reccomend this place.
