The place was recommended to us!
Based on our own experience, we recommend it too!
My family, our friend & I dined in first time tonight.
We absolutely loved it!
Good variety of food. The place was neat & tidy. The staff were friendly & helpful. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. We would definitely go back.

Reasonable price, excellent staff, great menu, place is clean and tidy and the atmosphere is awesome! We will definitely come back again and again.. ;)
I went there for lunch yesterday and there weren't that many customers there. This is the fourth time I have came back for their lunch buffet and really enjoy each time. I don't think there are many buffet restaurants out there that have this extensive of food with a quite reasonable price. Look forward to my next visit.
The food is really great. One of my favourites in the city. You can get the variety of good very fast.
We always enjoy a meal at Paldo, the chefs have a way with flavour and all of their many sides are so delicious!
Awesome as always! Love the bulgogi and spicy pork. Will come back again next time :)
Great selection of food for the price. Beats most Korean buffets I've been to.
I've been a regular customer of Paldo since 2017 and they haven't let me down yet from all the times that I've been here. The great thing about Paldo is that they change the menu frequently. There are some hits and misses on the main and side dishes but hey its a buffet under $30 with many cooked Korean dished and some shabu-shabu to choose from. The staff are always friendly and are quick to get your plates.
I definitely recommend Paldo, please just don't expect that everything in the menu will be awesome for your taste buds. Again its a $20 lunch and $30 dinner buffet.
Great place goood food had a pleasant lunch here. Very fulfilling
The inside of the restaurant is surprisingly modern and spacious which from the outside you would've never guessed. There were quite a few options however personally not enough vegetable option which would've been fine if the meat options tasted a bit better. the raw uncooked slices of beef and pork was tough and did not have the marbling of fat which you'd usually see on hotpot meat slices. the crabs legs tasted slightly off. they had some grilled chicken drumsticks that were pretty good though along with some stir-fried vermicelli. Staff are pretty onto it as well. overall not bad but there are places that are better for the price.
Great Korean buffet place in the East area!
If you love Korean food yet you haven't been here, well,,,,, you are missing a lot!
I usually go there during lunch buffet, booking is pretty much essential if you wanna eat between 11 and 12 coz this place fills up really quick.
They have great food selection and they are all nicely presented and hot food kept in the expensive cookware that keeps the food hot (it might have a name but don't know).
Some people might think there are not enough dessert selections but Korea is originally not big on dessert so lack of dessert selection is somewhat expected.
Great price, great food, great ambience!
Absolutely recommend this place for dinner and lunch especially for big families. So affordable and has a good range of Korean food. All the cooked food are seasoned so well and the descriptions are very clear, you know what you’re eating. There’s a bibimbap station! 🥰. Good range of uncooked meats and seafood for hot pot! Try the noodles, sooo 💋. Will be returning again.
I didn’t know this place was busy but seeing everyone queue up for it, I understand why now.
Its legit the best KBBQ I have ever been to, the buffet options are so good cause they’re literally everything you can think of to eat with your cooked meat. Its worth your money and time plus the staff are nice 👍😌
I believe they are well-known and are very popular because it's already a queue there before it opens for dinner.
My first visit, a big fan of Korean BBQ so I can't wait to have a good time there
I must say they do have a good selections of all you can eat items. From the cold dishes to hot ones, from the famous Koreab appetizers to meats and seafood for BBQ, literally they have everything you want
It definitely worth the money you paid, however, I mean, in terms of the taste, mediocre, I wasn't really impressed though.
Also I've noticed that they don't really refill every item, everyone gets 90 minutes to eat, so perhaps cost concerned?
Paldo Korean BBQ buffet is a great place to enjoy a delicious and authentic Korean barbecue experience. The restaurant has a wide variety of meats to choose from, all of which are fresh and high quality. The marinade on the meats is also delicious, and it really enhances the flavor of the meat.
Was a work dinner. And No, they’re not halal but their vegetarian dishes were tasty. The seafood and prawns were in abundance and all u can eat and cook in your 2-hour booking. Dessert was very basic. If you’re a vegetarian, then this is definitely not for you but great fun when joining a group.
Love this place for Korean bbq experience. Worth the price. Variety of meat and also other Korean dishes. Only 2 downsides, there 2 dinner seasons, 5:30 and 7:30, would highly recommend to book first. Another let down is dessert station, wish there were more options.
Service is good and food is yummy! It's worth the visit, you'll be leaving nice and full.
Service and just the overall feel was great. Food was good, bugolgi beef was slightly mince like but other than that was fine. Place fills up quick for dinner service so book ahead if you have more than 4 people
Self service Korean buffet. I like this place as the food are all cooked for you and no need to BBQ yourself. No heavy odour after meal. Place is clean. You can enjoy the traditional bibimbap, bulgogi, noodles and cold dishes. Wish have more choices of dessert. Only biscuits and coffee.
Greeted warmly and seated promptly.
Asked if we wanted to look at the food before trying which was very helpful in deciding this was our lunch destination.
The food was terrific and the price is crazy cheap.
Will always go here if in the botany area.
Give it a go.
You will not be disappointed.
Awesome Korean restaurant, best cost benefit for the quality of the food and service. The buffalo chicken was delicious, not a Korean food though. Tried all the Korean dishes available, including the small biscuits. Plenty of parking space. We booked the seat from 1pm , but I thing it was not necessary, not that full. Recommended booking for dinner. Will come back again.
