Clients reviews about Mr Korea - Korean Barbeque & Wagyu Buffet

Buffet is good for meat lover. The whole experience is very authentic Korea, where customers want to eat more valuable food and the boss tries whatever he can to prevent you from eating more. Limited 1.5 hours for cooking all your food with a complicated slow stove. And take away boxes are available if you can’t finish all the food you take. The boss only informed us to pay for the remaining food just when we were paying for food. He said 70 dollars for a small box of food. Luckily, we are classic Asian customers and know how to negotiate. So after about 5 minutes reasoning, the boss agreed to waive the cost of the remaining food. If you want to gain your skills to live in Korea, this is the best place for training😂🤣😂🤣 ~ Shenjie Z

Had dinner at Mr. Korea and it was such a great experience! The place has a clean and modern vibe with plenty of space between tables, and the ventilation is excellent — no smoky smell at all. We ordered the fried chicken and it was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside — definitely one of the best Korean-style fried chickens I’ve had. The metal serving bowls and presentation felt authentic and neat. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the ordering process was simple. It’s also nice that they have clear instructions on how to enjoy K-BBQ if it’s your first time. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving good Korean food in a comfortable setting. ~ Hai L

Did the all you can eat option, and even with a 90 min time limit, managed to consume an unholy quantity of meat, mushrooms and kimchi! The staff were kind and the decor was fun... but value-for-money wise, probably not the place to take a first date unless you want to pressure test the potential relationship. It's more a venu to take someone very familiar and slightly competitive to! Oh, and next time, I'd skip the chicken leg soup... it was tasty, but very fiddly and time consuming to get all the good bits off, and that took precious minutes away from my "all you can eat" window of oportunity! ~ Will D

I do love a good Korean BBQ. This is our second visit to the restaurant, unfortunately our first one was for lunch and they don't do bbq then, but we still had really tasty food. This time we made sure we come for dinner, and based on how tasty the lunch was, we purposely didn't eat much the whole day before coming. And I got 3 letters to describe our dinner. O.M.G. The wagyu (trust me it is worth ordering it) makes me think that BTS were singing about this restaurant when singing smooth like butter.. A HELL YEAH DEFINITE VISIT. Sorry not too many, as I couldn't stop while eating and ate everything. ~ Akshay T

The dining experience at Mr Korea was excellent! Their meat quality is outstanding, especially the pork belly and beef steak, which were grilled to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavour. Paired with kimchi and their signature dipping sauces, the taste was authentically Korean. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, with an efficient ventilation system that ensures the smoke isn’t overwhelming while grilling. The staff were warm and professional, proactively assisting with grilling and offering thoughtful suggestions. The pricing is reasonable, making it a high-value Korean BBQ spot worth visiting again. ~ yo y

Great service, wonderful food. Staff very helpful. The Tasmanian Pork set was stellar! The new ordering system with a QR code and the restaurant web site might take older customers a little bit of getting used to, but still quite intuitive. The only thing I would suggest is to tell people unfamiliar with this style of restaurant that whatever you order will come out straight away. Customers shouldn't assume that restaurant staff will wait to bring the next course until they're finished the first one...Everything comes out when you order it. Really nice and impressive range of drinks. ~ O C

A fan of Korean food. From Sydney over here for holidays. In Sydney, I would only eat at two Korean bbq places as I wouldn't want to waste my Korean bbq quota on mediocre food. Travelled to Korea in search for the best Korean bbq and I can say this little Hobart Korean bbq place is definitely up there. It's quality and authentic Korean food. So glad all seafood restaurants in Hobart were all booked out tonight...gave me a chance to try out Korean bbq in Tasmania. 😅😅😅 Exactly what I need on a 10 degrees autumn night in Hobart. ~ Davina W

I had a great experience at this Korean BBQ restaurant! The meat was fresh and flavorful, especially the pork belly and pork loin. The side dishes were delicious and refillable, with the kimchi and bean sprouts being my favorites. The staff were very friendly and attentive, helping with the grill and changing the plates regularly. The restaurant has a clean, cozy atmosphere with a nice Korean vibe, perfect for gatherings with friends or family. Overall, excellent quality for a reasonable price. ~ Yaxin C

Dropped in for lunch on a Sunday and we’re really pleased with everything. The staff was friendly and efficient, the food was delicious and generously sized and everything was very reasonably priced. We will definitely return as they offer Korean BBQ of an evening. UPDATE: Just had dinner here again and opted for the Wagyu Beef set. Delicious food and excellent service again! Mr Korea is definitely a winner. ~ Murray H

Wow 🤩 very surprised! Didn’t think you’d find good Korean food in a suburban town in Sandy Bay. Ordered the Wagyu set plus Wagyu Harimi and the Ox Tongue. All had plenty of marbling and melted in mouth. Service was good and our grills got changed and the waiter was attentive. We also had the Pork Hotpot and that tasted good even had authentic parts of pork inside. Recommended! Book ahead to avoid disappointment. ~ Michael Z

My favourite KBBQ in Hobart. I tend to usually stick to the marinated pork, exciting assortment of flavours to take you on a journey. I LOVE their kimchi stew, chef has been happy to share their secret recipes in the past so I can recreate at home. Staff are attentive at changing the cooking plates and assisting with cooking temperatures. This is a must stop for dinner each time I visit Hobart! ~ Chris B

The food alone is worth travelling for, but it's the experience that truly makes this place special. All the barbecue options are incredible. If you're looking for something else, there are a wide variety of other Korean dishes to enjoy. The staff are all extremely kind and helpful, and I've never had to wait on my order very long. I would be a weekly regular here if there were a location up north! ~ Chad H

We stopped in here for lunch and got the full sized boneless fried chicken with the soy garlic sauce. Omg, it was fantastic. The sauce was plentiful and the serving size was massive, filling the whole plate. It was definitely worth the price. Also worth mentioning is the wonderful woman that served us. Great customer service. Mr Korea is a winner! ~ Brett S

Very satisfying. Great service and fresh food. Food came out super quick and was delicious. Our 6yo son was introduced to Korean BBQ and loved every bit of the food. His favourite was the pork and the beef steak. The corn cheese was a absolute winner we had 2 servings of these! Would definitely come back and recommend. It was a little expensive but well worth it. ~ Lily P

lunch的价格很合理。味道很不错呢。加小菜的价格只要16到28左右一份。但是量不大，我们两个胃口比较好的女孩子需要点四份套餐才能吃饱。但是吃的很满足 ~ Sheng J

Edit 2025 Korean bbq buffet is awesome! So many choices! Definitely worth it! Korean BBQ near our home. High quality food and service. Especially the tasty home made side dishes. Recommend you lunch as well as dinner. Stir fried chicken, pork bone soup, aged pork belly, marinated chicken, and beef short rib or scotch fillet. Thank you Stella! Always serve us with efficiency and smile! ~ Liqiao H

친절하시고 부대찌게 주문했는데 짜지도 않고 적당한 간에 맛있었어요. 타즈매니아 여행 가서 이렇게 한국 식당에서 맛있게 먹을수 있어서 좋았어요 😊 ~ Joan P

I enjoyed the pleasant moment in this place the other day with my company! I definitely recommend this Korean style BBQ 'cause you can enjoy a wide range of tasty fresh meat with Korean spirits like Soju! Charcoal flavoured grilled meat will explode in your mouth! Service was also awesome especially its friendliness! I will come back very soon! Cheers! ~ Nishino T

Amazing experience! The food was delicious and the meat was high quality and perfectly seasoned. The side dishes (banchan) were tasty and fresh, especially the kimchi and pickled vegetables. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was great. Definitely a place I would recommend if you love Korean BBQ. I will come back for sure! ~ Florian S

Went here recently and it was definitely a great choice. The staff were personable and willing which really set the tone for our night.
