KOBA Korean BBQ Restaurant - Adelaide

Excellent experience. Service couldn't be faulted our waitress was very attentive and was always asking if we wanted more food. Plenty of variety of food. I was uncertain if here due to some of the negative reviews, but we only had a positive experience.

I love the idea of this buffet. Unlike the majority of the buffets where you have to stand and get the food that you have to grill. This one is different, you can order to one of their waiters endlessly (except busy hours as everyone has a time limit) You can have unlimited chicken, port belly, beef , Lamb, seafood, sushis, clams, Korean fried rice, soups, fried chicken and more . This place is amazing and it was recommended by one of my friends. This Korean BBQ is unlike the others that are so dirty and have disrespectful staff. Koba's staff were easy to approached too and quite professional. She welcomed us and told us some information about the buffet itself and she was really nice. Though , I went here once with my family and we all had different opinions about the experience and that's how I'm Gonna grade this. Me, sister and girlfriend liked koba and thought we had a unique experience whilst my parents were opposed to this. They mentioned that $35.00 for a few slices of poultry and seafood was not really worth it. Though we all agreed that it tastes good! I must say this place is a bit pricey though was a great experience!

I have been to a lot, and I mean, A LOT of Korean BBQ restaurants and Koba is hands down my favourite one. It's one that I always return to because it is just that delicious. It's an all you can eat buffet where you go up to choose incidentals like sushi, fried squid, spring rolls, octopus balls along with traditional Korean sides. They bring out one plate of meat at a time to reduce wastage and when you're done with your plate they bring another. My group of 5 has never been able to get more than 2 plates before we're too full to continue. I highly recommend this place.

Words cannot express my disappointment... but I'm going to give it a red hot crack. If there was an option for 0 out of 5, I would put that. This was by far my worst Korean BBQ experience I have ever had. The host kept turning our cooker temperature down, and with an allotted 90 minute time per booking, we certainly weren't able to get anywhere near our $40 dollars worth. To make matters worse, the supposed 'buffet' was near empty for most of the night; we were told food was 'cooking' 4 or 5 times. When we asked when more spring rolls would be made available in the buffet we were told that they were cooking; 30 minutes later and we asked again only to be told that they have 'run out for the night'. I'm not sure about anyone else but I find it astounding, if not downright unacceptable, that an 'all you can eat' buffet runs out of food before 8pm on a Saturday night. We gave up in the end. On top of this there was barely any cutlery; 40 minutes into our allotted time and we were finally able to get access to chopsticks. It took the best part of the 90 minute booking to get knives to cut what meat we were able to cook. Also, being a Korean restaurant you would expect that their buffet offerings would be labelled with English descriptions for those not familiar with native Korean dishes... I'm hardly surprised, but they weren't. I would honestly rather have gotten sunburn. Save your money. Save your time. Get KFC instead.
