About Woodo

King Street's all-you-can-eat K-BBQ counter serves serious grill cuts alongside homestyle stews without CBD markup. Tables load up on tender chicken, wagyu, and charred pork belly wrapped into crisp ssam. The kitchen steadily pushes out scratch-made banchan, slow-simmered gamja-tang, and hot fried chicken. Floor regulars talk up the attentive host who works the room to teach first-timers proper grill mechanics and sauce pairings. Reusable ceramic dishware replaces the usual disposable liners across both lively dining floors.

  • High-Value BBQ Buffet: A sprawling spread of cuts like wagyu, pork belly, and soft chicken paired with hot kitchen dishes.
  • Homestyle Banchan & Soups: Scratch-made kimchi, slow-cooked gamja-tang, and authentic side dishes made in-house daily.
  • Table-Side Hospitality: Attentive staff and ownership step in at the grill to guide wrap techniques and sauce combinations.
  • Thoughtful Tableware: Homely ceramic bowls and reusable table settings take the place of throwaway grill liners and plastics.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, booking, and making the most of your Korean barbecue experience.

  • Book ahead or arrive early

    Peak dinner periods and Friday evenings can get very busy, so reserve in advance or arrive earlier to avoid long waits and queues.

  • Ask staff for grilling and sauce tips

    Feel free to ask the owner and floor staff for help; they readily assist with table grilling, sauce combinations, and ssam wraps.

  • Mind the one-hour seating limit

    Keep an eye on the clock during buffet dining, as seatings can carry a strict one-hour time limit to manage turns.
