My go to place for Korean BBQ. I've tried both BBQ village and picnic garden and I must say bbq village has better/fresher meat. The pricing is slightly cheaper than picnic garden as well. This place has BBQ and a good hot foods section that compliments the meat. Best part is that you don't leave smelling of Korean BBQ like you do at picnic garden. It's more spacious and definitely cleaner!
okay I changed my mind, after coming here multiple times, and always using this place as a go to for my late night and midday weekday korean bbq place to satiate my craving, I'm finally going to choose this place over picnic gardens for several reasons. First the quality of the meat here is better, although the selection is not as varied, the meat here always tastes fresh and doesn't leave me with a stomach ache and wondering if I caught ringworms at the end of the night, the galbi here for the full bbq buffet here is absolutely mouth watering, the quality here is top notch when it comes to the galbi and la galbi.
The price here is unbeatable, especially during the weekday lunch special. came here once with company on a day off and when the bill came I only ended up paying 20 dollars flat with tax and tip included for myself, needless to say I felt like I got a deal from that meal. Also the late night special is always a great deal and a nice option for my fellow night owls, however I've noticed that they are fairly erratic when it comes to those hours……some days they just randomly close the restaurant for whatever reason.
Not my favorite option for Korean BBQ, but it had no wait.
The meats are buffet style instead of menu and they had a lot of options (reallllly good lamb) but very few vegetables and sauces.
They changed the grill plate and cleared plates pretty regularly.
Bonus: They have non-grill items on the buffet, like kim chi, dumplings, and noodles.
For someone who has never had AYCE korean Bbq, this would probably be decent.
The sliced beef here is very dried and flavorless. The galbi is marinated but just doesn't appear too tasty. The shrimp here is fresh tho. The spicy beef soup is pretty good too. Another plus, is the sauteed clams. It had a nice spicy flavor to it.
The service here is not the best especially when the guy only flipped our meat a few times in the beginning. The rest of the time, either the lady did it or I did it myself. What I didn't like about the lady was the fact she wouldn't change our grill. She would simply just use a napkin and wipe off the residue.
If I had a choice, I'd choose Picnic Garden tho. Reason being, I think the meat at Picnic Garden is marinated better. They also have more variety of food in both hot and raw.
Ambiance: it's a bit dingy in my opinion other than that there really isn't anything special about the decor here
Service: depends who you get, if you get the guy, he could care less for you and simply comes around flips your meat on the grill randomly so that you're still cooking the same sides at times. The ladies are more attentive and actually smile and grab the things if they see you trying to cook the food yourself!
Food: The galbi could use a bit more marinate as could some of the other meats. Their prepared food buffet selection is quite good, so if you come with people who aren't feeling the krn BBQ they gave options.
All in all will be back, for what they offer the price it really isn't bad.. It's all down to how much you eat!
One of the better of the two Korean BBQ that I've tried in Queens.
BBQ Village has clean counters, fresh marinated meats, good amount of seafood, and good turnover of supplies.
They also have a clean restroom, which is very important!
If you order the All-you-can-eat (AYCE) without Kalbi, the cost per person is $19.99.
If you order AYCE with Kalbi, the cost is $24.99.
Definitely go for the Kalbi for $24.99. Its more meat and they marinate it very well!
My wife and her old classmates sat here and ate for 2.5 hours. I enjoyed the food and made faces at her classmate's child.
I ate so much, I didn't have room for dinner!
Service was great, everybody was super nice and timely in helping us flip and toss our food! This was my first time at KBBQ so I really have nothing to compare this experience to. However, I expected a bit more selection of bbq items. The cooked items such as seafood pancake, fried chicken and japchae was also cold! I was also very disappointed by the kimchi, which completely lacked flavor! I am not a very frequent meat eater so I can't comment on the quality of the meat, but it was tasty! I would definitely return to BBQ village for the service!
I like this place 2x better than Picnic Garden–similar pricing overall but this place had better ventilation, cleaner, and wider space as well. They also have more side options for food while your meat is cooking. I also feel that the quality of meat here is a lot better than of Picnic Garden (which yes flavor may be a bit better but you can tell it is low quality). I just overall enjoy the buffet style of this space with the service they provide. I find it worth to get one's fix on kbbq here if you're looking to fill and endless black hole.
