Subi Seoul BBQ - Subiaco

Good food and service. I love the enjoyment of cooking my own thing. My dad was happy too as he had never been before. Happy times.

We decided to dine at Subiaco because we had just taken an overseas friend to King's Park. Not having any idea where to eat, we decided to google and found this restaurant. We were all game for Korean food so we headed there and were not disappointed. Although they had a BBQ buffet, we were not really hungry so we opted for the Combo meal which consisted of 2 meats, rice, miso soup, and side vegetables. The meal was delicious and the price very reasonable for the portions served. We will definitely go back.

Something different cooking your own, so it was fresh. There was a buffet of vegetables and fresh seafood. You then cook at your table so it is BBq style. There is a soup to go with it all.

My husband and daughter had dinner here last night and it was tasty and fun. The food was varied, with miso soup, dumplings, prawns, salad and crispy chicken wings for entrees. Then we had the bbq lit and started cooking. unlike other korean bbq restaurants we've been to it was well ventilated and you could see what you were cooking. There was a good variety of chicken, beef, pork, prawns, seafood, mussels and our favourite crabs. We also enjoyed the delicious section of korean pickles which were very refreshing during so much meat. After a huge meal of bbq crab we were then served a steam boat which my daughter loved. She went a bit mad on the fish dumplings and tofu. There was even ice cream included in the $29.90 price which i thought was incredibly reasonable. It is licensed but you can BYO as well. My 9 yr daughter especially enjoyed being involved with the choosing and cooking of dinner. To top it all the man in charge of the restaurant was warm and delightful in his service. Well worth going to.

I can see why some people might have some fun but I probably wouldn't bother going back. I think you need to know what you are signing up to. We had a group of 14 but that means a line of small round tables with two or three people on each. It's noisy as well so you can only really talk to your neighbours. The whole process of getting up and down all the time is very disturbing to relaxing conversation. There is some help but it is easy to overcook or undercook the food both on the hotplate or in the steamboat. There are lots and lots of ingredients but who knows what sauce is meant to what with what things and what some of the stranger bits and pieces are. The place gets smoky and doesn't seem very well ventilated. The airflow meant that when we put on a steamboat, the chicken stock vapour was steaming my shirt up and warming up my wine. Clothes straight in the wash on arrival home. At one stage they propped the front door open for ventilation but didn't shift the smokers standing in the doorway - dumb! The lady next to me just had multiple plates of entree things. I can see the merit. It's already cooked and there was a tasty selection. Service was attentive though and they would help with tips and keeping a bit of an eye on the barbecue process. Mid-week it is only $30 so cheap (but you wouldn't look around at the decor and think otherwise). On the whole though, don't go if you think eating out should involve someone doing clever things in the kitchen and waitstaff bringing out lovely dishes for you and your dining companions to enjoy over a glass of wine and some bubbly conversation.
