Tonight we are having BBQ buffet dinner at this korean BBQ restaurant which is located in Chinatown. It is near both Chinatown and Outram Park MRT stations, so as everyone can reach easily.

Although the place is packed, the staff often clear the used plates at our table, and changes the griller regularly when she feels that the griller is too char to be used. Great service from the staff.

While eating, there is various TV screens showing MTV of korean pop stars. It is a noisy place where one can barely hear what is on the TV. Overall the food is great, especially the meats which are tender and juicy. The service is great too. Everyone is so full and happy. For a group of 7 persons on a Monday night, the bill comes up to $197.74.

The place is clean and food selection is good. They have some finger food which is really good. For someone like me who do not like hotdogs, this one is awesome..the meat taste so soft like luncheon meat and is less salty. Lots of greens like leafy vegetables to accompany the meat too. I loved to see plenty of onions, garlic etc to spice up the BBQ. Worth coming back again. The prawn is surprising sweet. We loved time BBQ away here.

Ever since the last time I dined at Blue Garden Korean BBQ Restaurant when I felt a little disappointed that there weren’t any beef short ribs, I decided to continue my hunt for another authentic Korean bbq place that could be the one.

I love all sorts of Korean food and their bbq is one of my favourites. Because I’m more of a carnivorous eater plus I love the variety of side dishes that come with the meal. It’s not just the meats that I go for but I truly enjoy the fun of cooking while eating.

I was walking around Chinatown one day when I was drawn by the smell of the bbq. That led me to discover the Ssikkek Korean Grill BBQ Buffet Restaurant which I have been patronising frequently whenever I have a craving for bbq.

A polite Korean lady or young man will greet you at the door and you’d be ushered to a table speedily the moment you enter. There are several huge LCD tv screens around the restaurant, all displaying Korean music videos so you can sing to the songs of Girls Generation or to Gangnam Style as you wait for your meat to cook on the grill.

At about S$28 per person after taxes with free-flow drinks included, this is a great value-for-money buffet choice in town. The restaurant is spacious and can get really busy. An ideal place for family meals or gatherings with friends. It is advisable to make reservation ahead as walk-in guests are only entitled to dine-in for 2 hours whereas guests who called to reserve tables can leave at closing time which doesn’t make sense since everyone pays the same price.

The variety of ingredients isn’t huge but is of good quality. They serve various cuts of meat from pork collar, belly & bacon to chicken, bulgogi beef & short ribs, seafood (squids and grey prawns), vegetables, fruits, side dishes and even cooked food. Three of my favourite meats would be (in order of preference) the bacon, pork belly and beef short ribs. I like my meat to be a little charred and slightly crispy on the outside. Then wrap the meat with lettuce and top with some grilled garlic slices, bean paste and crunchy kimchi. All in one mouthful. Simply heavenly.

Ssikkek korean BBQ offers cheap and affordable korean BBQ buffet. It is consider a good deal for those who go for quantity of food intake. My friends and I decided to have our dinner after work here (Date of Visit: 13/8/2013). It is walking distance from Chinatown & Outram Park MRT station. I stopped at Chinatown MRT station and walked about 5-10 minutes time to reach the restaurant. It was already full house and people were queuing outside.

I stopped at Chinatown MRT station and walked about 5-10 minutes time to reach the restaurant. It was already full house and people were queuing outside. Luckily, we had made reservation and my friends have already arrive and enjoying the feast. TVs are installed at almost every corner of the restaurant and it is playing K-POP music throughout the night.

The selection of meats was limited.To name a few that were available such as meats Pork Collar, Beef Bulgogi, Chicken BBQ, Bacon, Pork Belly, Sausages and Golden Mushrooms. There are cooked foods available so that customers can enjoy bbq-ing while having the ready cooked foods served. Customers can also customize own sauce to go with the BBQ meats which was displayed at the counter. Since it is buffet style, we will have to self-service and enjoy the foods.

This place is definitely recommended if you are going in a big group. However, the tables' gap in between is very minimal and we can easily overheard another table conversation. The seats are quite squeezy too due to the space constraint. Also be prepared to have the stench stick to your clothes and hair after dinner.

As usual, we took a lot of meat as it is the most worth it! I love the juicy meat which has its very own unique taste. You can also take as much as you want as its a buffet style. I love the BBQ the meat by myself as I can control its consistency and I can eat it fresh out of the "stove"!
I also enjoy the attentive service that the staff here provides. Once they see an aluminum foil which is close to being charred and toxic, then swiftly change it. I also like how they are able to maneuver the meat and slide it down quickly onto the new aluminum foil.
There's also a very sweet rice drink which is very very addictive! I still crave for the taste everyday since my last visit.

Do bring a change of clothes if you're going somewhere else as this place really stinks up your clothes, unless you want to smell like a walking BBQ stove!

Do also queue earlier than your estimated time of eating as the queue tends to get really long during the lunch hours due to its very cheap and competitive prices for adults!

Going on a meat galore, yeah! pocket friendly korean bbq buffet is the best place to stuff our face with heaps of meat. We went Ssikkek Korean BBQ at Oriental Plaza. We had their dinner Buffet. Super like the way they marinate all their meat; their beef baby rib is succulent and well cut. Assorted sausage is crunchy and flavorful. Assorted pickles and kimchi is very appetizing and it helps cuts thru the fatty meat so we can go on and on and on. Fresh and crunchy lettuce is provided for wrapping

Wouldnt say that i enjoyed the food alot compared to my first time in Ssikkek but the good company makes a big difference.

For some reason, having a meal at a Korean BBQ & Grill restaurant isn’t the most affordable thing out there. You’d expect to pay anywhere from $30 to $50 per pax, even if you’re dining with a big group! That’s why these days many are flocking to Ssikkek (pronounced as shik-kek) – as a buffet-style eatery it’s one of the cheapest places to get your Korean food fix.Lunch is from 11.30am to 2.30pm, Monday to Friday only, at $16 per adult and $8 per child; dinner is from 5.30pm to 10pm Monday to Sun

The buffet selection includes various types of meat, from the classics like pork belly to chicken sausages, sides like golden mushrooms and kimchi, cooked food such as spicy rice cakes and even a couple of fresh fruit choices.

We helped ourselves to at least 3 plates of pork belly, so there’s no prize for guessing what we’d recommend. We also loved the golden mushrooms, which were grilled to juicy perfection, as well as the marinated chicken BBQ. Unfortunately, the kimchi – a keystone ingredient – was way too acidic for us.

My favourite was the Pork Belly which was very tender and tasted really good when paired with their sauces. The Beef Bulgogi was also quite well marinated in a sweet soy sauce. For only $15.50 per person, this Korean BBQ buffet is really worth the money and even comes with free flow of drinks. The only bad thing about a BBQ restaurant is the stench that sticks to your clothes and hair after the meal.
