Korean BBQ in Edinburgh, City of

The food was delicious and lots of it considering two hungry adults and 4 teenage/older kids. Really recommend it for a fun and tasty mealtime. The staff were kind and helpful.

Wonderful family experience - tasty food, fun to cook at the table and the staff were very friendly and attentive. As a party of 4, we had one of the mixed meats and two stews, which worked well, sharing and experimenting with different combinations for each bite. We'll definitely be back ❤️

First time in a Korean restaurant. Discovered the homemade SamSanJang and decided to book my holidays to South Korea. This restaurant is really good, the meat was especially well-prepared, perfectly marinated, and not overly salty, with a wide variety of dishes and Korean drinks available. I also drank like a Korean, 100% recommend

Staff were all really friendly and helpful Food was excellent and the cost was very good for how much food you get, Try it you won’t regret it

We went to a business trip to Edinburgh and wanted to enjoy a Korean bbq in the evening. The food was amazing and the staff was really friendly and even showed us how to drink soju the Korean way. There was nothing to complain about.

Delicious food! The staff is great and I can't say enough good things about the food. So tasty and fresh! Highly recommend.

Excellent Korean food with a great service. A family owned restaurant with a very friendly staff that makes dining there an authentic experience (including a glimpse into Korean drinking culture). All varieties of meat / sides were there and a broad selection of Korean drinks as well. Especially the meat and the Kimchi were not too salty and marinated on point. We gladly recommend the place to everyone who enjoys Korean food and to those who are curious to learn about it.

Great hospitality! I was wondering why the rating is so high before I go but now I understand that they deserve it. I've been to Korea many times but this restaurant was wonderful

Repas intéressant, la nourriture est bonne. Service super rapide mais le monsieur à l'accueil pas du tout accueillant

Wanted to eat here for ages, when I finally came it was so much better than I was expecting

kleines BBQ Restaurant. Fleisch wird vom Gast auf den in den Tischen eingelassenen Grills gebraten. Wir haben So Bulgogi, Pork Kelly Kemchi und Reis bestellt. Der freundliche Inhaber hat das Fleisch für und gegrillt. War alles lecker, aber die Kleider müssen in die Reinigung da sie stark nach Essen/Fett "duften"

The best restaurants are where the owner is also the chef. I am Korean, my family are Korean and we miss eating genuine Korean food in Scotland. We have all unanimously agreed that we do not need to ever worry again to eat traditional, genuine, Korean food. The food at Korean BBQ was incredibly generous, nutritious, and delicious. My mum was jealous about just how good it was. My Scottish step father had to meekly attenuate his amazement for how much he could enjoy non-round eye food. The owner is class and deserves every bit of business. The restaurant struggles a bit being next to the Kings Theatre which is undergoing renovation and therefore obscures the front of the restaurant. Please go support the owner. She will reward you with finding this gem with an experience. Tip them well as they will constantly refill for free your veggies and banchan. Thank you Korean BBQ for such a great family night out!

We stayed in Edinburgh for a few days and were craving for some Asian food. We came to this restaurant for Korean barbecue. The meat tastes amazing and the portion is really big in general. They even have Korean cold noodles which are rarely available in Korean restaurants in the West (and it tastes very similar to what I had in Seoul before). The only (small) criticism I have is that the kimchi is less impressive compared to the rest of the dishes. That being said, I think anyone who wants to try out Korean food in Edinburgh should give this restaurant a go (and staff here are very responsible and helpful!)

Fantastic experience, the flavour and quality of the food was unparalleled, I look forward to returning soon :)

Good Korean food at affordable prices.

Very tasty and wholesome! Prompt serviceI received extra dishes of noodles and kimchee that I had not expected

Very friendly and attentive staff, lovely food, definitely recommend

Amazing staff, delicious food, heartwarming, feels like home

Amazing food, good vibe, good service! More power to you

Loved it! An oasis of great food in the midst of the gloomy world of british cuisine. The staff was extremely nice, the food was amazing, portions were big, and it wasn't too pricey either. Will definitely visit again when I'm back in Edinburgh.

Great concept and food, nice friendly service... Can't leave a tip on card which is a shame for the staff not sure why when everywhere else in the world you can..but overall very good

Sorry 😢 I feel a bit awful writing this. So many good reviews- so must be our bad luck on their bad day. The marinated beef short rib. - one or half a short rib sliced bits of leather / tasteless / dry expensive as cost 19.00 pounds for both the rib slices and rice. Chicken Urdon noodle yuk. - husband just finished his short rib slices and said ‘ that was disgusting 🤮’

Great and very affordable foods for students. Would like to recommend the pork belly and Jabchae!

I enjoyed it so much 5 years ago that my child asked to go again when I stopped by Edinburgh this time. The whole family visited and ate pork bulgogi, soft tofu stew, and soybean paste stew. Pork bulgogi is moderately spicy and soft enough for Koreans to enjoy while traveling abroad. Soft tofu stew contains mussels, squid, and beef, and the red pepper oil makes the soup very rich and moderately spicy, making it a taste that anyone can enjoy without burden. I think they used really good soybean paste for the soybean paste stew. It had snailfish in it and the soybean paste tasted like something my mother made herself, so I enjoyed it very much. Both the hall owner and the kitchen manager were very friendly, so I was very thankful and had a fun trip. I will definitely visit again the next time I stop by Edinburgh. I also recommend it to foreigners who want to experience the taste of Korea. it's the best representative Korean restaurant since I have ever seen before. I strongly recommend this place to Foreigners and Korean visitors.

INCREDIBLE FOOD, service and atmosphere were wonderful as well. The heartiest food I have had in Edinburgh, portions were amazing with great flavor and quality in every dish the service was also great the waitress was kind in providing takeaway boxes as well for packaging leftovers the overall vibe was incredible, not overly lit with welcoming decorations, it was also the best volume for a restaurant I have been to, conversational and not too loud big recommendation for kimchi pancakes, dolsot bibimbap, and spicy pork bulgogi

We came in without a booking and were immediately seated. The staff was friendly and helpful and gave us the full experience. Would recommend

Attended this restaurant last night, ordered tempura prawns and sweet chilli chicken, prawns were bland and very watery like they were cooked from frozen, the chicken was tiny diced chicken balled up battered and fried, absolutely terrible food and the service wasn’t much better either.

Amazing restaurant!! We went for BBQ option D and all the meat was really tender and the marinated one was delish!! They changed the grill when it became too sticky so that is also very good! Portions are very generous and the service is excellent! 100% coming back when returning to Edinburgh

Very tasty fresh bbq Korean style. Friendly service. No desserts unfortunately.

Warm welcome, staff were very kind and helpful. Food quality and portion sizes were excellent. I would highly recommend the Beef set and Kimchi pancakes. Great experience.

Went here on a whim with my boyfriend, called up and managed to snag the last table, and I’m very glad we did! Service and food was excellent, especially the kimchi pancake. Reasonably priced, great atmosphere and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal out.

The best! I always enjoy coming in here! Gotta try soju!

Food was absolutely devine. The whole experience was excellent! I’m Ceoliac and the team were so attentive and proactive in offering GF options. I felt very safe and comfortable. The service was really authentic and helpful. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Amazing food, one of the best kimchi’s I’ve ever eaten and the best selection of meat for BBQ ! Me and my fiancé absolutely loved it! Shout out to amazing staff, two lovely waitresses and, what I assume, the manager/owner Thank you for the Korean sweets we got when we were leaving 😋 Next time we’re in Edinburgh we’re definitely coming back ♥️

I missed Korean food after traveling, so I looked for it, and this was the most delicious and friendly place.The food was delicious and the server was friendly.It was a highly recommended Korean restaurant

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Korean BBQ and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. Food people and service are best 💯

Lovely staff, amazing food for a very good price. Right next to the university so very good location for food on campus. Food is quick but that in no way affects the quality! Would Recommend

Everything from the side dishes to the food was delicious, and most of all, I was impressed by the owner’s friendly service👍🏻 When I told them I was traveling from Korea, the kimchi they gave me was very delicious, as it was clean and refreshing in the Seoul style. I am uploading a photo of my companion who was surprised by how delicious it was as proof!!!

I love this place. I used to go often when I lived in Edinburgh and it was my first stop when I went back to visit a couple months ago since I was craving Korean BBQ. This time we got a pork and beef option for the meats, japchae - which was unreal 🥹 - and hamuel pajeon, which is always good. This spot never disappoints, the service is lovely, and although you might stink a bit from the bbq fumes, it's all worth it. Truly miss it and wish I could visit it more often. Definitely my favorite Korean in Edinburgh. PLEASE COME OPEN A KOREAN BBQ IN ATHENS 🙏

First time trying Korean BBQ and it was a solid experience. Food was great, service was just as good and I really enjoyed getting to cook my own food on the grill. Will definitely be trying Korean BBQ again, but they’ve set a really high bar for my first time.

With no reservation we got in for dinner. The cuts of meat were perfect and the side vegetables paired perfectly. Wonderful experience all around

Great service with friendly staff, instructions were clear with BBQ, food was great - good prices too. Slightly cramped seating but that's our fault with 6 people

We had a wonderful family meal at Korean BBQ. The service was absolute top-notch. We found our servers to be kind, helpful and cheery. The dumplings, beef bul gogi, spicy chicken and jap chae were all so very tasty. As a family (mom, dad and 3 teenage kids) , we really enjoyed grilling the raw meats and creating Korean lettuce wraps. Definitely would come here again. Unlike previous reviews, we were told that the ban chan (sides) were unlimited at no extra charge. We found the food and service to be 5 star!

Delicious food!!! Especially sweet chili chickens, THE BEST!!!! Also welcoming and friendly service! Love it!! And will come back again😆

One of the best hideaway spots in town. The bulgogi is AMAZING. Edit, 8 months later: I still adore this place and come all the time—I’ve become a bit of a regular! I had my birthday dinner here recently, and they went above and beyond to make it special. The staff are so friendly and approachable, and the food is so incredibly tasty—still five stars strong!

Just an awesome evening with amazing food! Great host and great personnel. Sallads, sauce and lettuce is refilled for free. I definitely recommend.

As a Korean, I can say this is hands down the best Korean restaurant I've been to abroad. The food is amazing and tastes really just like it would in Korea. I recommend the galbitang, bibimbap and samgyeopsal (pork belly BBQ). The staff members are amazing too. Very professional and kind. Will miss this place! 감사합니다!

Beef sirloin and pork belly are so delicious... The combination of white wine and red wine was surprisingly good, so my companion and I drank 2 bottles! Above all, the owner and staff are so friendly that I want to come again when I come to Edinburgh! Cold noodles and soybean paste stew catch my eye 🤣🤣 I highly recommend it to Koreans who miss Korean food after a long trip or to those who want to try Korean barbecue 👍🏻👍🏻

We have been regular customers for years, eat out or take away, around twice per month. The food quality has declined and become very salty. But still okay. So we have been holding off in giving a bad review for sometimes now. However recent few take away experiences were very bad. We always order at least 2 portions of bbq meats, and the veggies sides are always free for both eat in and take away. However the previous take away, they “unintentionally” gave us one less veggie side and missed the sauces as well. And the rice was undercooked! And we thought “fine, everyone makes mistakes”, so we give chances and we let that go. But the most recent take away they told us they charge 3.5£ for the veggie sides no matter how many portions of meat you buy. It is quite ridiculous because when you eat in, you get the veggie sides free and can even refill the veggie one time for free. So when you take away, you not using the bbq equipment and all, not able to refill veggie and then they charge extra for veggie???? Even when eat in, the limitation on veggie refills to one time regardless the meat portions you order is quite ridiculous. So imagine if you and friends sit 2 separate tables and order 1 bbq meat per table, you will get 2 refills, 1 per table. Whereas if you all sit together, you got 1 refill. So I would suggest ppl to just split the tables then as the shop is quite small and you will be quite near to your friends. That will be the last time we eat from this shop. There are other Korean bbq in Edinburgh.

Terrific food and very entertaining manager/owner.

First time having a Korean Bbq Fantastic food and great staff. Definitely be back

The best Korean restaurant in Edinburgh, or in the UK

I've been to many Korean restaurants in the UK and this was by far the best. It was more delicious than the Korean food I ate in Korea. We ate grilled pork belly and seasoned bulgogi, and the quality of the meat was very good, and the kimchi stew was clean and spicy, perfect for our taste (if you're Korean, they made it to suit Korean tastes!). The galbitang was thick and rich. The owner and staff were all friendly. I don't often leave reviews, but this was a place I definitely wanted to leave!

Really friendly staff and a good atmosphere. The food was great, well flavoured and really good value.

There wasn’t a single thing bad about the restaurant. It is placed in a sketchy location but don’t be deterred couldn’t rate this place enough if I tried great for families too.

Staff were so polite and made my family feel welcomed. I have visited korean bbq restaurants before but nothing like this food was 10/10 will definitely be back!

We didn't have a reservation, but the waitress managed to squeeze us in. It was my first kbbq, and they were all very lovely! One waitress prepared a mix of beer and soju in the traditional manner and the manager(?) Showed my mum how to eat her food; she even sent us off with a handful of sweets 😁 Wonderful staff and great food. Just beware the toilets are downstairs and it's a small restaurant, so not very -if at all- wheelchair accessible.

I went to this Korean restaurant on the last day of my trip to Edinburgh, and it was so delicious that if I had gone there on the first day, I would have gone here every day. The amount of pork belly is really large, and the soft tofu in particular seems to be more delicious than what you get in Korea. I packed some stir-fried squid to eat as a snack at my accommodation, and it was really delicious. The owner is really kind~~ I'll probably travel to Edinburgh again in the summer, so I'll definitely stop by again then!!

Me and my family loved it, and it tasted awesome!!!!!!!! The service was good my mom said, I don’t really remember though. But still it was great! Recommended.

Friendly staff and deliciously tasty food

Lovely Korean food run and staffed by lovely people. I encourage everyone I go with to try random things off the menu to get to try new things.

Our waitress was so nice and helpful! We had never had Korean BBQ before and she explained the process to us and was very pleasant! The food was so delicious!!

Fantastic experience, super friendly staff, top quality produce. Cannot recommend enough 👌

How dare this place be so good? I'm in awe. We had the best time here, everyone is so fast and kind. We had the assortment of meats and it was incredibly delicious. Salads get refilled twice. Rice and kimchi has to be ordered separately but definitely recommend, this kimchi was one of the best I've tried. There are some hard working women behind this place, which makes this place even cooler. Thank you for the amazing experience! And the candy. ❤

Amazing Kbbq. Table is a bit small so I recommend ordering bit by bit so that you have space. Food was great tho, really felt authentic like back home :). A great place to bring your friends and family. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We had this Malaysian girl who served us and she was very kind. Offered to put our dishes at another table cuz our table couldn't fit it. She was also very attentive. Great service :D

Wonderful staff and a lovely warm and welcoming host. The food was amazing too. Loved it! Highly recommend!

So so delicious and great value for money! Good vibes in atmosphere. Our waitress explained everything very kindly and clearly (my first Korean bbq), and we had a lovely conversation with her after the meal! 10/10 would recommend. Definitely going to come back. :)

Very cozy restaurant with a reasonable price. We had the pork set for 2 and ate very well, service is also very friendly!

I cannot rate this restaraunt enough. Not only the most delicious Korean food in Edinburgh but the lovely staff taught us fun drinking games and we had a blast! Definitely going to be regulars!

Nothing more to say than AMAZING!!! From the service to the food. All the staff who work there is polite and efficient. Will defo come back. Thanks again

It's the perfect meal. I'm so lucky to be here in the high culture of eating out in the United Kingdom. On the 7th day of my trip, I missed the food in my home country and felt the pride of Korean food in a restaurant full of locals. The food is so high quality, delicious and neat. The staff welcomes all the guests and responds right away. What an amazing restaurant that is so cost-effective! I travel abroad a lot and don't often go to Korean restaurants, but when I arrived in Edinburgh and it was cold 🥹, I went there to soothe my tired body and mind, and it was an amazing comfort. The pork belly is really filling and the meat is good. I feel happy when I put a piece of pork belly with wheat in my mouth 😍 The food was clean and the staff were very friendly, so I had a pleasant meal with steamed rice :) I heard that eating out in the UK is dead, but it was so cheap 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 If you have trouble deciding what to eat during your trip to Edinburgh, just go right away. Please 🙏🏻 P.S Reservations are required if you visit during dinner time ~ We were the only Koreans in the crowded restaurant on a Wednesday evening😂 This is a local restaurant.

Myself and three friends popped in for a meal on Saturday night and though we didn’t have a reservation, the lovely woman who greeted us at the door managed to accommodate us! The staff were lovely, the food was delicious and the atmosphere in the restaurant was really pleasant. Special shoutout to the young boy doing his first day of work experience; you were adorable and did a great job! I recommend making a reservation for sure because we could have really missed out on this gem of a restaurant if there wasn’t a way to get our little group in! Thanks for the nice evening ☺️

I visited here because I really missed spicy soup while traveling with my mom, and it was so delicious! I ordered pork belly and soft tofu stew. The pork belly was generous and the quality was good even though it was frozen. The soft tofu stew was spicy and refreshing to suit Korean tastes, so I really enjoyed it haha. Above all, I liked the fact that the owner and the staff were really friendly, always smiling, and had a good impression! Thanks to you, I can finish the rest of my trip well haha. Next time I come to Edinburgh, I definitely want to come back!!

This was the beat Korean BBQ! We came from England to celebrate our engagement, but this was just a wonderful, cosy, meal. The place was like a family atmosphere. I felt like my "unni" was literally my sister...I refuse to call her my Auntie! Everyone was so lovely and when trying to make sure our Korean was correct, it was a casual lesson on what to say so thank you so much! I honestly had the blues when we left to go home! I can't wait to come back to do this again!

Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, amazing food experience. Even though we didn't have a reservation for valentines night, they managed to accommodate us. Highly recommended

Amazing place, clean and comfortable. The ambient is great, the food is delicious and the employees are lovely!

This BBQ place is a 10 out of 10 for me. Good food and very friendly staffs. We reserved a table beforehand and were met with super warm welcome. I was happy with everything we ordered. Compared to a lot of Korean BBQ restaurants in Europe this one really is worth getting your hair smelly. I’d love for the kimchi soup to be a tad more sour, but it was tasty nonetheless. Certainly going to be back again and again.

Great food. Very cozy and pleasant place and outstanding staff. We would fly every day from Barcelona just to repeat at the Korean BBQ

A lovely place to have a solo dinner . But kimchi was little bit tasteless should be improved otherwise food and service was excellent. Will be visiting again.

Lovely place, very tasty Korean food, kind service, highly recommend!

Kimchi soup is very delicious. Everything is delicious. It's like eating in Korea. There are many menus, good service staff, ordering as a set, very good value, very filling. Recommended.

Me and my boyfriend went down to Edinburgh this week with the sole intention of coming here for dinner. We had been last year and it was incredible. Definitely a must try if you're in the area. Amazing selection of Korean dishes and beverages. The kkanpunggi is one of my favourite dishes here (me and my boyfriend have to get a plate each!) Service is incredible too, the lady that primarily served us was so kind and attentive, this applied to all the staff too who were serving the other customers too! Definitely recommend to anyone I know that is planning on going to Edinburgh whether they have tried Korean BBQ or not

Excellent korean food, with a great variety of possibility. Very friendly service. A good place to eat in couple or with friends.

Nous avons très bien mangé tant sur la qualité que la quantité, à refaire sur notre prochain passage à Edimbourg. Il y avait une serveuse coréenne qui était top, elle était très attentive.

This is fast becoming my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. I’ve had the BBQ menu each time I’ve been & being able to cook your own food on a grill within your table is a really great and unique experience & creates such a positive atmosphere in the restaurant - made even better if you are sharing a range of meats with friends. All the staff are friendly and attentive, particularly the manageress who was knowledgable & even remembered us & details from our last visit. Please keep up the exceptional work and thank you! Will definitely be back very soon.

Perfect Korean BBQ experience! The food was delicious, affordable, the staff were all so kind and attentive and really wanted to ensure our meats were cooked perfectly. Thank you so much for such a wonderful meal!

韓国料理を食べたいという友人に付き合って行きました。結構混んでいる店で予約がないと入れないようでした。最初にナムルやサラダなどが出てくるのは良かったです。焼肉は普通でした。

It was our first experience with Korean food. We got the Meat assorted bbq for 2. Jin was amazing the whole time, so was the rest of the staff. Food was amazing, so were the portions and the final SoMac. Cannot wait to go back!!

First time I've had Korean barbecue - amazing experience!

한식이 그리워서 갔는데 제육볶음도 해물파전도 좋았습니다.

Nice food, nice service, nice 사장님(?)

아주 맛있게 잘 먹었어요. 김치찌게와 제육 아주 맛있어요.

A very lovely place to eat korean BBQ! Their beef is local and absolutely delicious, the prices are totally fine for what you get. The waiters are very nice and we had some good chats with them even though I still feel kind of sorry for ruining the little chews for one of the waiters because of what's in it 😂 We hope we can get back to the restaurant when we'll be in Edinburgh one day again!

I came here ages ago and I forgot do give a review but it defenatly deserves a one. The service and food was amazing and the lovely waitress saw me having a little emotional moment and proceeded to give me sweets to cheer me up. Was the kindest thing ever. Thanks xx

Went here a couple months ago but forgot to leave a review. The atmosphere and getting to cook your own food was a cosy and enjoyable experience. we were also served by a really lovely waitress who was very helpful about recommendations and portions. she also gave us some sweets once we were paying our bill and throughout the whole dinner was extremely generous and kind with smiles.

Delicious, my favourite place in the city for Korean BBQ.

Always perfect!!!! I had two babies with me and the staff were lovely with them always checking in helping us and were attentive. The food is perfect and made hot and tasty every time and the atmosphere is cute and comfortable. The best kBbq I’ve been to in a long time

Bae so good would recommend to anyone who would make eye contact with me

This place is amazing, great for small groups 4-6. Meat eaters will be very happy. Also, the chilli -soybean paste is absolutely amazing. Such a great experience and the staff were really funny and insightful on the cuisine. Can't wait to go again.

We ate here yesterday and the food and the customer service was excellent. 5 stars! We will definitely be back!
