My recent visit was amazing. AYCE Korean BBQ comes with soup, steamed eggs and Korean seafood pancake. You can choose between regular AYCE and LA Galbi AYCE. Pro: If you love galbi, this is the place. I really like the galbi flavor here. Cons: they don't serve fresh veggies to eat with grilled meats. The restaurant was kinda out of date and somewhat looked dirty. Service was good and friendly.
Grabbed Sunday lunch at Wudon, it was so good!! Found out I like pickled radishes, they have never been a vegetable that was at the top of my list of things to eat but that has changed. Opted not to eat the actual "cook your own meal" version of the BBQ, but went for the Bulgogi Dolsot and my lunch mate ordered the Jeyuk Dolsot. The difference is the amount of time the meat marinades, the Bulgogi was so tender and flavorful. I also tried the Soon Dobu Jjigae soup with seafood. It came to the table boiling hot. Everything we had was good, fresh, and filling. Wudon sits off Olive, west of 270. Stop in and check them out, you will not be disappointed.
Best KBBQ I have had. I have been going to Wudon since high school and some of my friends have a tradition of everyone getting the all you can eat buffet then seeing how many platters we can take down. I have countless great memories here and there are several things that Wudon does very well. The first thing that comes to mind is the meats! Oh man the variety, flavor, quality and quantity of the platters they bring out are amazing. The beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, spicy pork, brisket, pork belly, etc are all so good. The spicy pork and beef bulgogi are my personal favorites and are marinated in a delicious sauce that makes every bite a treat. The grill set up is very nice and certain tables can accommodate up to 10 or more people. They don't change the grill out often which is an aspect that I really like as it allows the grill to stay hot and for you to continue to cook at a good rate which is ideal for larger parties. The sides that come with the all you can eat are also quite good but I typically restrain from indulging too much so I can fill up on the good stuff. Atmosphere inside is intimate, and simple. Staff is kind and attentive, almost always staying on top of waters and requests. Myself and many of my friends love this spot and we will continue to come and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.
Somehow, Korean barbecue has become a traditional Father's Day meal for me and I am pretty happy with that! Booked an 11am reservation for Father's Day for all 7 of us and we were seated promptly. The kids ordered, cooked and paid. Can't beat that! We went with the All You Can Eat option. Our server brought our drinks, sides and all the accoutrement. Here's a rundown: - Boneless short rib - Our table favorite. So tasty and tender. Great marinade. Rating 4.2 - Chicken Bulgogi - decent marinade with the pear shining through. Cooked up with a nice caramelization which enhanced the flavor. Rating 4.0 - Fish Cake - Decent! I think I have found this exact type at the local Asian supermarket. Rating: 3.8 - seafood pancake - Not very much seafood (shrimp), but it was excellent. Dipping sauce was perfect. Rating: 4.2 - Soft Tofu Soup - decent. Rating: 3.6 Other items included chili, soybean past, kimchi, daikon radish, salt and pepper, broccoli, lettuce. All good. Service was prompt throughout. They were busy and they kept up with everything. Overall ambiance is super casual. They have very interesting design style - almost Manhwa. One thing I was keeping an eye out for was cleanliness the table we were sitting probably needs to be replaced. The wood stain seemed to absorb water and a number of attempts had been made to patch it up. This was definitely a great experience and the food fire! Overall rating -
So for starters. This is a smaller location than I thought it was. That's okay because with that, you don't have the hustle and bustle of a corp. My partner and I stopped here after coming from the airport for a nice bite. Upon entry we were greeted promptly and sat at the table near the window. I thought that the grill and some of the chairs could use some touch ups but that was minor. The menu is accessed through QR code which is nice in 2025. We ordered from the premium menu and had the short ribs, spicy chicken, beef and teriyaki chicken with rice as a side. The meat was very flavorful. I also had the steamed egg which complimented the meat perfectly. The ambiance was great as well. There were hand painted murals on the wall that gave the interior a nice vibe. It's nice for a cute date night to see if your partner can cook food properly. lol. Overall a good experience.
