Review Paldo - Takapuna

A new Korean Buffet restaurant in Takapuna, Auckland. We visited for our lunch at 12:45pm weekday and the restaurant was only 40%full. Good variety of choices of food. One of the amazing thing is that there has instruction for customers to prepare Korean dishes. Beware that no BBQ for lunch.

30pp for dinner, lot of choice, not just BBQ & cold dishes & hot dishes, u can make your own salad or bibimbap or noodle, that's great. The only thing is no aircon here, it's toooooo hot, we were sweating from the second we sat down.😌😌😌

I would fly to Auckland just to go back here! Amazing service great prices, fun atmosphere. Food is just delicious with so much variety. If you want a social outing with friends this place is the place to go!!

This is the best Korean Buffet around Auckland!! Great fresh food, cool staff and clean restaurant area! Well done guys! I’ll be back! The only thing I would say is that I learnt that the food is all put into the bin at the end of service which is such a shame I’d suggest it goes to a homeless shelter or pair up with Auckland city mission.

Brand New! This place opened in the last few months and it is fantastic! They have everything we could have asked for in a Korean Buffet and the wait staff were all friendly and nice - quite a change from a couple of the more established places. LOADS of side dishes as well, just in case that's what service means to you. I never saw anything run out and the place was pretty full. Food was quality as well! Table was always cleared pretty quick... Honestly great dining experience and staffed well. Will be going back again. Look after yourselves, guys, Auckland needs a friendly place with top service like this! Staff make the difference!

Cozy atmosphere, wait team and customer service is the best I have experienced in along time. Friendly, happy, and great service that is friendly and natural. Buffet style selection was great in its setup and layout. First time experience with our close Korean friend who could not go home due to Covid19. We have thoroughly enjoyed tonight with our friend after 2 months will finally get to go home to His family. What a blessing to experience His countries food selection. Yes would come again to enjoy the food and Korean food cuisine style Bbq. They also have a dessert table of chocolate slice cubes and if you try it with the bean sauce it's yummy, husband enjoyed it thinking it was a chocolate sauce he ate the lot up. Nice location parking is available on the street or using the car park just a few minutes away from the restaurant. Thankyou for there service, food and hospitality Paldo restaurant great experience and only 20 minster from Mt Albert to Takapuna on a Saturday night. Will include photos later once they are sent through from family. Again experience was outstanding and enjoyable. For the amount paid for a buffet was worth it to have fresh selections of meats, chicken and seafoods.

Brand new Korean BBQ Buffet restaurant in town. Loved variety of food and quality of meat you are getting at such a affordable price. Especially enjoyed Korean marinated beef ribs (unlimited servings). Restaurant is extremely clean condition. Strongly recommend to all locals to dine out there.

Best Korean BBQ Buffet. Cooked foods was really yum, All of the Meat were fresh and the marinated meat was perfectly marinated. Customer service was also very good. I will never go to other korean BBQ restaurants again.

Best food and service really. The young waitress was very friendly to the point I've never experienced before. And there was a good looking chef I think her name is Choi, she was really good at what she does explaining me all the dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed dining at Paldo.

Brand new and so far the best Korean buffet I've been to in Auckland (out of 8 I've been to). Quality of the meat is not comparable to other Korean bbq restaurants. And they have variety of side dishes too. You wouldn't find better one in Auckland.

Paleo is relatively new-clean and well kept. The Korean BBQ options were very good as well as already cooked options. The teenage/uni aged boys were on cloud 9. I would definitely go again!

Great place for Korean BBQ, and they are one of the few places that offer BBQ for Lunch. Good selection of BBQ meats, with the marinated ones full of flavour. Plenty of side dishes, sushi, and DIY noodles and Bibimbap. They even got some dessert!

Absolutely enjoyed it!! Being vegan and eating at Korean Restaurants are EXTREMELY difficult!! Here they have SO MANY OPTIONS!!! A diy boochie salad bar, diy rice bowl bar, diy noodle bar, soups, range of fries/nuggets/samosas/spring rolls, speciality korean dishes, sushi rolls, sauces/dressings for days and a dessert bar!! They were so welcoming to my veganism and the customer service was so lovely!!! Not a traditional Korean restaurant but wow, they cater for all dietary requirements welcoming all to the Korean cuisine!!

I went to Paldo korean bbq restaurant for lunch and dinner it is the best restaurant in north shore it’s big space and table is big enough to put all the dishes I want to have Food is really fresh and it’s not cold if some food is gone they refill immediately so there is no hassle They don’t say what time I need to go ( I went to some other buffet in takapuna and they told me we have only 2 hours to have food cause they don’t want to customer stay long) Paldo is really good place for family cause table and chair is very comfy and it’s not close to other table I was very impressed the quality of food and very friendly stuff Every dish shows how much they care Every dish has flavor and it’s very high standard I am meat lover but I truly enjoy every dish they prepare for customer I definitely return there!!!
