Korean BBQ in Edinburgh, City of

The wife and I are on vacation visiting from California. She needed her Korean heritage fix. It scratched the itch. Classic flavors of kbbq that we all know and love. Reasonable prices too. Great atmosphere. Clean. Delicious. Friendly people.

Food was lovely, staff were friendly to start with until it came to bill. No mention of a ‘mandatory service charge’ to be added. A £16.50 service charge / tip was added to our bill and when I asked for this to be removed I was told they don’t remove this from the bill. As I was with friends I did not make an issue of it but be warned in advanced!

Mandatory service fee. The rest was great: great food and good service. They allow to pay with card and you can have free tap water. But service fee should always be optional.

Very friendly and helpful staff.😃 We had the BBQ menu. The food was very good and we can only recommend it.💯

First korean bbq for me and my girl and it was a pleasure, quality ingredients with meat as well As for Polish person it wasnt cheap but if I would work here it would be normal.

First time and it hit the mark, delicious food, fresh ingredients and friendly service 😁

Overall, nice atmosphere and friendly service. I enjoyed the stew I got for dinner, and it was something new for me since I’m more familiar with other East Asian cuisine, Korean is relatively new to me. But to be frank I didn’t feel like the price and value ratio corresponds to 5 stars, there are ways to improve. I also didn’t find it nice that a bowl of rice that comes with the stew is quite small. Both my friend and I had to order an additional one. And the price for a tiny bowl of plain rice… let’s call it arguable :)

Visted on a very quiet Sunday evening, took the option D Set menu - beef, pork and chicken with 3 sides and 2 sauces - perfect amount for 2, rice portions reasonable size. Delicious and well explained by the staff, will visit again

If you are traveling from Korea, be sure to stop by here! Grilled pork belly is so delicious. It tastes just like the one I had in Korea!! The meat is very fresh~ I also had beef stew and soft tofu stew, and they were all delicious. They are friendly and the atmosphere is nice ^^

Korean restaurant in Edinburgh! It was my baby's birthday during the trip, so I visited this place to recharge my energy with Korean food and meat. I read the reviews before going and the reviews weren't bad. First of all, the owner seems to be a good cook. This is my first time serving side dishes and they taste so good!! And I ordered meat, and the meat was good too. It was soft and delicious. Especially since it’s my son’s birthday. Seaweed soup, which was not even on the menu, was served as a service. (Thank you so much ㅜㅜ) It wasn't the seaweed soup commonly eaten in Korea. There were a lot of ingredients and it tasted good. Even if you create a menu for customers who are looking for umami without being spicy, It would be nice haha~ Anyway, there is Edinburgh. If you want to eat Korean pork belly, I highly recommend it.

Had dinner with my friend and was very impressed. Quick service and yummy dishes. Loved that we could cook it ourselves at the table. Will be back .

I am a Korean living in Edinburgh for 10 months. There aren't many Korean restaurants in Edinburgh, but this is one where you can taste real Korea! ❗️Why you should come here ✔️You can grill meat ✔️Soft tofu stew is almost a signature, it’s crazy👍 ✔️Many menus not found elsewhere ✔️We provide a lot of service when Korean people come. ✔️First of all, clean and friendly I ate two bowls of rice and enjoyed it so much that I even took a picture of it all.

I really recommend it to Koreans traveling! The silken tofu stew tastes exactly like Korean food, and is especially more delicious than any other Korean restaurant.

Some of the best korean bbq i have had. Was a little quiet but that's not always a bad thing

Fantastic place,been going for years, food is wonderful,staff are delightful

The best korean Restaurant I ve ever tried❤️very friendly service and delicious foods! Worth trying you won t be dissapointed!

Amazing meat quality and dishes were fresh and well cooked overall. Would revisit soon. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Great food and friendly staff. One off experiance.

Best meal Ive ever had in Edinburgh. Amazing tasty food and brillian friendly staff.

We'd never had Korean Bbq before. Our waiter explained how everything works and we were given water (free tap) along with our food. We had a sharing menu for 2 which was plenty to eat and included a beer. I'm going to Korea next year so wanted to find out how it all works and enjoyed the experiences and food. Our waiter also helped us use the grill and suggested optimum settings throughout the meal which was appreciated by us newbies. BYOB was also availabkefor £2.95 per person.

I love this place. The food is really good and the service is nice and efficient! It's one of my favourite places to go because they open every day of the week until late. Every month I go and try a different dish. They were all good so far. Highly recommended!

This is my second visit, Every time I went, they were kind and took care of everything for me. The menu is diverse and the side dishes are neatly presented. It was the most delicious Korean restaurant I visited anywhere! If you are looking for a Korean restaurant in Edinburgh, I recommend it~

The food was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the food here and the service is great. Thank you for the hospitality.

Nice place to try traditional Korean cuisine. Staff friendly and helpful and all the food was freshly made and very enjoyable. The restaurant can be a bit busy at times but we'll worth a visit.

Authentic Korean food! I highly recommend you if you want to introduce or try authentic one!

Friendly owner and waiter. Great food. If you want to try authentic Korean food and are in Edinburgh, I recommend this restaurant!

Authentic Korean food and BBQ. Highly recommended. Very attentive service. Thank you.

I'm looking forward to a return visit. There's a number of things on the menu I'd like to try having enjoyed immensely one of the set menu options alongside the Kimchi pancake. Cooking the food on the table was really good fun and we found that rice wasn't necessary and instead asked for more lettuce. Delicious all round and very helpful staff.

It was very very good! The menu is well stocked, the service impeccable and at the risk of repeating myself, it was very, very good!

Amazing food and great service! The pork belly is literally the best quality u can find around Edinbrugh, as well as their signiture pot, which was also better then any other asian styled hot pot I have tried around this whole region. I eat a LOT so I was worried it wouldn't be enough, but the amount they serve is indefinitely filling!

Good Korean bbq place - got the spicy chicken, galbi, and bulgogi for bbq. Recommend skipping the chicken - not worth it. Also got japchae - it was good.

I love Korean food and the food here is by far the most authentic I've had in awhile. Good prices and good portions. Ambiance was comfy and staff was great at serving and explaining how to cook for those by my table that was new to Korean cuisine. Definitely recommend if in the area.

I came here to eat the pork belly I missed. It’s Korea itself. All the side dishes are homemade… Since I came from Korea, please provide good service ㅠㅠㅠ Even though I ate a lot, the price was still nice. I'll be back next week. May you prosper, boss.

Good kimchi, nice quality meat and vegetables, and convenient set-menus. Very helpful and nice staff!

During my trip, I was craving some Korean food, so I stopped by! The owner and employees were friendly, and the atmosphere of the store was nice. I had soft tofu stew and seafood and green onion pancakes, and it felt like I was just eating it in Korea. They said they made the kimchi themselves, and it was really, really, really delicious!!!

Probably the least friendly dining experience I’ve had for a long time, ordered 4 complete bbq sets that are supposed to serve 2 each between five of us but we get two little trays of lettuce and are told after the first refill we need to pay extra. Shouldn’t we have at least 8 before they are going to charge us extra? Asked for Korean fried chicken and the waiter has no idea what that that is and suggests Japanese teriyaki and yakitori!? We get our food and then he wouldn’t let us turn our hot plates up and most of our meat ended up grey and steamed and completely wasted. Didn’t help that it was served to us frozen and undefrosted, now he wants us to cook it on two bars of heat. Was pretty ridiculous, he wouldn’t leave us alone to enjoy our food without harassing us. Food was decent as always, just a generally unpleasant experience otherwise, just got stared at like second class citizens the whole time. Won’t go back.

Very authentic and tasty - one of very few Korean restaurants in the entire Europe that got me to re-visit once again the day after initial visit. The staff are welcoming and helpful. I have tried a few dishes - all of them were as authentic as it can get being made outside of Korea and also very tasty. Strongly recommended! We stopped by and dined two days in a row during our visit to Scotland. It's clean, friendly, and the food is neat and delicious. Highly recommended!

Came in very unfamiliar with korean food and bbq but staff were really helpful in answering any questions, and restaurant provided free sauces, salads (which could've sold as sides themselves), and water. That on top of the incredible bbq beef and squid makes this is a must eat place whenever I get the chance.

This place was delicious! They taught us how to use the BBQ and make the best combinations. The meat was good quality and very flavoursome. The condiments and salads were amazing! I also had a side of tteokbokki which was unbelievable! Very fun concept for a date too. Would recommend!

I lived in Seoul for six years and I think this is the most legit Korean restaurant I've been to in the UK. In Newington of all places. The family that runs it are really friendly and the service is great.

«Hidden food treasure» - plenty of food, good price & service!

The staff were really helpful and attentive and showed us the best way to use the barbecue. We ordered two servings of pork between two people and one kimchi pancake, and the servings were very generous!

Absolutely amazing 😍 The food delicious ! So fresh so tasty ! The staff are absolutely lovely I was so welcomed from the start my anxiety left my body. It was so great by far the best experience. Definitely recommend you go here

The food was delicious and the staff were so helpful and nice! We weren't sure how all the grilling stuff worked, but they made sure we had a good time.

Not great. You’d be told to leave if you were there for an hour and a half.

Soft tofu stew was really delicious!!! Be sure to try it!!!

Food was so great and portions were very generous. There was 5 of us eating, including one vegetarian, and we ordered BBQ sets (both meat and veg) and a few other dishes from the menu, and we got some complementary items too. By the end of it we were all so full we couldn't finish it all! The food is absolutely delicious and lovely authentic Korean recipes (we know this as three of us are from South Korea). Some of the dishes were nice and spicy, and some mild so there definitely was something for everyone's palate. The customer service was very attentive and kind. We had booked a table but it was not too busy for walk-in customers either, even though it was dinner time on a bank holiday. I would very highly recommend this restaurant, and I would give it six starts if I could!

One of my favorite restaurants in town. The staff is very attentive and the food is authentic. Highly recommended.

Overall I liked it. Had the at-table.BBQ option, will go back again to let them cook for me next time

Great place, great food, great service. Highly recommend

The quality of meat was superb. The flavour of marinations were very delicious and light. Very good service.

Delicious and friendly. You can bring your own wine with you, but there is a small cork charge. The pork belly is delicious and the soft tofu stew is very rich^^

I have to say I was having a very bad experience with Korean BBQ. The food was okay but the service was really poor and we were asked to pay for the lettuce for £2 a small plate even though it was all free before. We were not feeling being treated fairly as the waiter was teaching the close table guests how to cook better and checking in with them but they keep forgetting to bring the tap water which we asked at the beginning.

Food and service was great, we ordered the Set Menu D as well as three other main courses and the food was more than enough for the three of us :). Would highly recommend to anyone near the area.

the food was good but the waiter was rude and rushed to clear our table before we even finished our food. portions were relatively small.

My first visit to Korean BBQ was amazing! Food was delicious, staff were welcoming and very friendly. I’d highly recommend to anyone as it was an amazing experience.

Absolute amazing hospitality, well taken care of by the staff. The quality of meat was super fresh and the dumpling were delicious.

Amazing experience… if you truly like Korean bbq or even have never been, then this is the place for it. Lovely atmosphere and the food was unbelievable. Couldn’t recommend more. Highly recommend the Korean fried chicken and fried vegetable rice.

Really delicious... I had kimchi stew, stone pot bibimbap, and pork bulgogi, and it was all good. Since I came to my senses, I ate it all haha.

Brilliant, well prepared food with a nice setting. The grill was good fun and a good introduction for my first time doing this style of Korean food. The only issue was we felt rushed (we arrived a full hour before closing and they presented us with the bill 15 mins before they shut the doors)

excellent food and service !! thank you for the extra fish cakes

Fantastic fresh Korean food in a friendly and clean environment. Excellent service. It was a most enjoyable evening and we will definite go back.

Cozy atmosphere and great service. The prawn tempura and the bibimbap are so so yummy and the little starter plates are nice and refreshing.

Had a great dinner at Korean bbq. Bbq was delicious, as were the additional dishes we chose - restaurant had a great variety of korean dishes. Staff were super friendly and helpful - especially Yeonwoo. Thanks to the whole team for a great evening - we will be back!

A long time for us didn’t have a proper Korean BBQ in a real Korean restaurant. Lucky to grab a parking space one street upper. It’s a good sign to hear the staffs speaking in Korean instead of some other Asian languages. It means that at least the foods are probably managed by Koreans. Starter: seafood pancake is great, more crispy will be what we like more but it’s fine to be a bit soft. Assorted meal set includes pork belly, beef rib eye, sliced beef, sliced pork neck and sliced spicy chicken thigh. The quality of the meats are quite good. Got lettuce to eat with lots of meat. King prawns are fine. Good service to change the bbq grill pan in the middle of the meal. But what we just suddenly remembered while we were driving home is the sliced raw garlic and super spice red sauce and the kimchi cabbage are missing, no wonder we felt a bit strange but don’t know what was that. 😆😆😆 With kids, we were used to go with less spicy foods. Maybe that’s why we forget. 😆😆 We appreciate the hot drinks a lot. Although it’s a bit expensive, the size is good enough to come with a pot. I can still finish it all. Love the Korean barley tea most. A Very Good Korean restaurant anyway.

Great food, friendly staff and great experience. Thank you and see you again soon !

Food are amazing and the stuff so friendly and good service. Recommend!!

If you have not tried Korean cuisine I would definitely recommend you try the BBQ restaurant in Newington. It provides great food at very reasonable prices. Our party of nine were given a very warm welcome from the BBQ staff and were treated to complimentary dishes of mixed vegetables which included a spicy Kimchi which was delicious. Currently the BBQ does not have drinks licence but we were allowed to BYOB. I started with Prawn Tempura and for my main course chose Pan fried Beef with Bab Rice, a great choice. Everyone agreed that the food was delicious coupled with the excellent service we received made it a night to remember. In summary I would definitely recommend a visit to the BBQ, you won't be disappointed.

Had the best meal last night - the food was truly authentic, great flavours and so fresh. Staff are delightful, excellent value for money…..can’t wait to go back😍

Pork belly and bulgogi are both delicious. There are many types of food, and when I ordered a variety of dishes, none of them tasted bad. The stew is especially delicious. They also give you a lot of side dishes. The owner is also very kind. I will come again next time~~

The food is so delicious! It's truly Korean quality! It was so delicious that I couldn't take a picture of the food. I really recommend it.

Pork belly, soft tofu stew, seafood pancake, kimchi, and side dishes are all really delicious!! 🫢 As an international student in the UK, I have been to many other Korean restaurants, but this one is the best.. You must definitely visit. It was the best choice! 👍🏻🫶🏻

Precise, really, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very delicious, delicious, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, the best, the best, the best. Thank you for helping me find good memories and romance. I learned through the best food that romance is not far away, but close. Be sure to go with your family and friends.

Had a fantastic dining experience! The food is very flovorful, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is very cozy and clean. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great Korean cuisine in a friendly setting!

Great tasty food, very nice friendly staff. Delicious. Will return!

I ate set B of meat, beef stew, and rice together. The grill was strong so I grilled the meat deliciously, and the owner was friendly, so I had a great time. The owner has recently changed and seems to be trying harder to serve good food. Please visit once.

Had a hankering for Korean BBQ. Overall, a decent meal. Had the sirloin steak BBQ and it was delicious. Recommend making a reservation as the place fills up quickly.

The best place that u can eat real Korean food in Edinburgh as a Korean who left Korea 7 months ago I could feel exact taste of my home country food i missed so much

The food and service are both amazing! Definitely a must visit place in Edinburgh, highly recommend!

Had the best Korean bbq last night! All of the food was soo tasty and the staff were very accommodating! There is good space and great atmosphere ❤️. Such a great experience with friends or even solo, would highly recommend! Lots of veggie options too 💗

This is our secound trip here. We went out of our way to come back, the cozy atmosphere and food is why we returned😁. The only downside was I had to ask for water multiple times before getting a half filled glass.

Excellent food fair prices was nice to try some thing different

This is the best Korean restaurant in Edinburgh. There is a lot of meat and the quality is good. I only go here!

Fantastic food, great service 10/10

The owner is friendly and the Korean food is delicious :) The corkage price is reasonable and it’s been a while since I had delicious pork belly~

The foods were good however the service was opposite. We were forced to pay service charges as the waiter said it is mandatory. We would be ok if we would have treated well. Even asked for water, we were asked why we requested a lot of things?

You are given clear instructions if you've never been there before. The grill is replaced multiple times during the meal. Service is quick and personnel is kind. We got the assorted meat set. It was enough for three people, but we did need to buy extra lettuce.

Ironically this is my favourite Korean restaurant in Edinburgh despite it being run by Chinese people. The food is most similar to what I would find in Seoul, down to the cutlery.

Great service super friendly and helpful. Food was great and delicious. Will come back

Staff were extremely lovely and accommodating, and the food was amazing too! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new kbbq spot

Thật sự rất tệ kể cả đồ ăn và nhân viên phục vụ ở đây. Chúng tôi đã phải trả 250 bảng anh cho bữa ăn của mình nhưng không nhận được những gì chúng tôi xứng đáng có được. Trong phần ăn của chúng tôi đáng nhẽ ra họ phải cung cấp đồ ăn kèm và rau, vì chúng tôi đã gọi 3 set đồ nướng, nhưng họ chỉ mang ra 2 phần đồ ăn kèm và rau. Khi chúng tôi hỏi liệu chúng tôi có thể có thêm đồ ăn kèm và rau không thì họ bảo có và chỉ mang ra mỗi rau sau đó bảo nếu chúng tôi cần phải trả thêm 2đ sau đó. Chúng tôi đã rất sốc. Phục vụ rất khó chịu. Tôi đã quay lại đây lần thứ 2 và hy vọng mọi thứ sẽ tốt hơn nhưng không , mọi người trong chúng tôi đều cảm thấy quá tệ. Vậy dựa trên cơ sở nào họ lại được lấy tiền phục vụ khách.

After our journey up Arthur’s seat, we came across this restaurant, our very nice lady host was warm, welcoming, and very helpful with the menu. The food was really good, great service, and bustling atmosphere! They are capable of catering for a gluten, dairy, and egg free diet! This place was a great find, and we would gladly revisit , and recommend! Thank you

에든버러에서 가장 진짜 한국식 맛이 나는 한식당같아요!!! 찌개종류들 추천드립니다 ~!! 갠적으로 순두부찌개 맛있어용 ㅎㅎㅎ 제육볶음도 맛있고요!

Food adequate, although over priced and small portions for katsu curry which doesn't even come with rice. What I really object to is the website advertising the old prices, only to arrive to collect my takeaway and being charged £4-5 more per dish than I was expecting because they haven't bothered to update their website with new prices. I felt this was misleading advertising and it tainted my meal.

Best authentic Korean food in Edinburgh, run by Koreans! Wide variety to choose from. Tried their bibimbap and kimchi jjigae, taste and portion size is worth the money.

During my recent visit to Korean BBQ in Edinburgh, I was thoroughly impressed by the authentic Korean flavors on offer. The pork belly was perfectly grilled, with the Marinated beef being equally succulent. The Soft Tofu stew had a rich, comforting warmth, and the Kimchi Pancake was delightfully crispy. The side dishes were also exceptional in taste. Moreover, the owner and staff at Korean BBQ stood out for their exceptional hospitality. Their friendly and attentive service made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Unlike other Korean restaurants in Edinburgh, Korean BBQ truly brought a slice of Korea to Scotland, offering a genuine taste of Korean cuisine that felt like a culinary journey to Korea itself.

Authentic Korean place! Very clean, great attitude, friendly people, amazing food! ❤️ Thank you for your food!

One of the best places to eat. Staff were very friendly and I’d recommend a friend

Great food in quality and quantity. The taste is consistent and the restaurant is very clean. Everyone should try beef Ju Mul Luck on grill. All the soup is served with rice. Healthy and authentic taste of Korea!
