We can for AYCE on a random weekday. It was interesting that their version of AYCE was AYCE meat (rice and banchan included), but the other appetizers and sides were still separate costs. I think it's the only place I've seen do this, since usually the meat is the most expensive thing and it benefits the restaurants to serve things like pancakes to fill the customers up? While my friends who I came with were super happy with the price and food, I felt like it was a little on the expensive side. The wagyu was really good. For me, the other marinated meats were a little toooooo sweet. And maybe more of a honey or maple syrup-y flavor that I wasn't used to? I'm not sure how often I'd come here, but if anyone wanted to come, I'd be happy to join them. Parking is validated but kind of weird to get to and bathrooms are outside the restaurant with a code that you can find at the front desk.

I would rate Woobling above Baekjong (despite the fact that they don't cook for you), and below Meet (where they do cook for you!). Overall, the service at Woobling is friendly and efficient, the tables are clean (with in-grill ventilation), and the quality and quantity of the meats is excellent. We ordered a La carte instead of one of the sets/AYCE, and for us that was the right way to go, but I like the fact that you can really choose your own adventure here. Free 3 hour parking in the Elements' building garage, too. We'll be back!

K-BBQ Woobling, aka Woobling, is located in the one of the Elements buildings that always manage to confuse me. We found it from the outside along 112th then look for a path inside. It worked. There was a 30 min wait without reservations, which was fine with us. Once we sat down, the service was reasonable. The staff is very busy, seemingly running from one end to the next or pushing carts to deliver the piping hot foods. We learned to flag down a staff as they roared past us for service. The décor is modern Korean with cleanliness and fun murals. Unlike most others eating KBBQ with meats served on Insta-friendly tiered racks, we opted to not cook our own food. No regrets. The banchan was skimpy with four sad little options. They didn't even have kimchee radish. I wonder if it was a busy night, and they ran out of some options. The overall rating doesn't warrant a full 4 stars. But the staff was pretty cool. I decided to round up. The Food: Bulgogi Octopus Hot Pot, $45 - 4 Stars Menu: Serving size 2 -3. Mushroom, onion, radish, green onion, beef bulgogi, octopus I don't know what I was expecting with this dish. First, I didn't realize it was a soup. LOL! But it was genuinely flavorful and satisfying on a cold night. The octopus in the center is served raw. A swift dunk in the bubbling broth was just the right amount of cooking. It is a giant pot. I was happy with plenty of leftovers with broth to make more meals. Korean Fried Chicken Wings, $16 - 4 Stars Menu: Korean style deep fried chicken wing, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, wheat with original fried The $16 is a wee high for wings, but I'd be lying if I don't admit it was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Fine, fine, I'll pay $16. These KoFC is making me fat, and I'm liking it far too much! Korean Seafood Pancake, $22 (L), 3 Stars Menu: Korean pancake made with squid, mussel, shrimp, green onion, carrot, onion, wheat flour, egg The seafood pancake didn't taste like it has as many varieties of seafood as the menu says, not even bay shrimps to represent shrimps. The dominant visible seafood is the fake crab shreds, which isn't listed in the menu. The crispiness and chew are good, but I object to the reality vs menu description. Side note: The Seafood Pancake arrived super late, after I asked about it twice. They either forgot to place the order or they comp'd this dish without our asking. Regardless, it contributed to my decision to round up the rating.

TIP: look at the LUNCH MENU (during lunch hours) for cheaper prices of the exact same portions/ food items. all ordering and the menu is on a tablet at the table, and we originally clicked and opened up the regular menu, during lunch time, and would've been subjected to the full price if we hadn't seen the button way at the bottom for lunch menu. Lunch menu had the same items just for ~20% less and we even asked- same portion sizes. at lunch prices it's absolutely a solid deal. had good sides, free refills, really appreciated the food. they did mess up the soup ordered where the soup isn't as pictures (ex; had an egg shown in picture but was told it's not supposed to come w egg lol what.) they also originally forgot all the noodles in the soup. all good though they easily corrected this and were super nice. would recommend going based off our experience of buying regular dishes
