I'll start with i don't understand any of the negative reviews that have been put here i came here with my partner and her friend and her daughter we all enjoyed our lunch. The owner i assume it was was a great laidback bloke/host the value itself was great with good portions of meat. I tried the kimchi for the first time and was really pleased with it along with the seasoned cucumber. And appreciated the complimented drink from the owner. Give this place a shot it's worth it

Finally tried Jae Bul Korean BBQ & Buffet at Riverlink, and it was such a fun (and tasty!) experience. You grab your choice of fresh meats, seafood, veggies, and salads, then cook them yourself right at your table on the built-in hot plate. Everything was super fresh and full of flavour — definitely a must-try if you love hands-on dining and Korean BBQ!

Jae Bul is a delightful refresher on how Korean BBQ should be done, from the meat selection to the quality of cuts, it shows that the owner really enjoys putting out high quality. I had a discussion with the owner about how the meat is stored, prepared, delivered and even what is done with left overs at closing. Thourghly impressed by the fact they donate everything at the end of the night, shows that wastage is not in their plans. Choose wisely and carefully as there is a $40 charge for Excessive food wastage which is completely fair. Call me impressed for a man to go from Boilermaker to Butcher and keep his skills alive, well done. I look forward to many a trip to Jae Bul, I am confident it won't dissapoint any time soon.

Went there for my birthday. From the second we arrived we felt welcomed. The Blonde lady at the desk was extremely welcoming and happy. We were given a 10% discount as it was State of Origin night, and I received a free beer as it was my birthday. She was amazing. The tall waiter/bartender was also incredible and funny. I was peeling prawns, and he came over with a bowl of water, noticing I was peeling prawns and offered the bowl to clean my fingers. OUTSTANDING!!. As said great sense of humour, part of his uniform should be one of those hats with the propeller on top. I mean that in a good way. Even though the food items were limited in comparison to other of the same restaurants...The quality, freshness and taste was 5 stars. The atmosphere, the cleanliness, the staff and the experience were top notch. Cannot fault the place at all, it was a wonderful experience and will be going back again very soon. The staff need to be paid more for how well they treat the customer as well as the small talk and extra service. Great job guys cannot wait to eat there again. Anyone thinking of trying Korean BBQ for the first time...Go here, you will not be disappointed.

The quality of the beef was good, pork, chicken, and many other things. It was good to taste a variety of things, and the staff was kind. I recommend it
