Northern BBQ & Sushi Buffet: Korean Barbeque (UPDATE)
UPDATE 2/13/2009:
This restaurant no long exists. It has been replaced with Juliana, also a Korean Restaurant but not a Buffet. Stay tuned for my review of this restaurant!
Northern BBQ & Sushi Buffet is not in business anymore as Miss Anonymous (comments below) has posted. The restaurant went through new ownership and became New York Buffet but now it has changed last year once more. The Restaurant is now called Juliana, Korean Restaurant & Bar. The disappointing part is that it is no longer a Buffet! Will post when we get a chance to eat there.
Northern [Korean] BBQ & Sushi Buffet
157-26 Northern Blvd
Flushing, NY 11354
(718) 886-8880
WARNING: THIS WILL BE THE MEATIEST EXPERIENCE YOU WILL EVER HAVE. VEGETARIANS/VEGANS BEWARE.
If you’re coming with a large party, especially on a Saturday night, be sure to make reservations! My party of 10 had to wait about 45mins before being seated. The people in here are mostly Korean, in fact you’ll be greeted by the staff in the Korean language. They’re really friendly and cute!
The atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxing despite having a buffet environment. It’s definitely better when you bring a crew of your friends to dine out.
I really love the environment here. When you are seated, feel free to get up and get some food. I started off grabbing some hot food and sushi:
There’s my cali rolls, my potato croquet (god i love it), fried rice, chicken wings, and stir fried string beans. Yum.
Now, grab a plate full of meat to grill on your table. That’s right, it’s a BBQ and you do it yourself. It’s just the best way to do it.
Ask the server to start up the grill for you, otherwise you’ll play with the gas knob all night and wondering how the hell does it work. When you first work the grill, please drizzle some oil on it. It makes the cooking process faster. I’m sure you all know, but just a reminder especially if you’re a newbie like me. Usually the server do it for me, but here, you actually do it yourself. And seldom a server will come by if s/he isn’t busy and do it for you too.
The beef brisket, shown above, could be marinated a little more. What I highly recommend are the ribs. OH MY GOSH, it’s the juiciest, tastiest, most succulent piece of meat I ever had. Let me show you:
It just so so good! Use the scissors that they provide you to cut up the meat. Cut it after when it’s done cooking. This is the best piece of meat I had all night and I loved it!! There are other meats like steak, sausage, pork, intestines (ew, but still cool), etc etc, but this by far was the best I have had for the night. It’s all you can eat buffet, so try everything!
Sometimes when you finish a plate, the server might not see that your plate needs to be changed so call them over and they’ll gladly do it for you. =)
My only gripe about this place was that they had a poor dessert and fruit section. For the fruit section they only had grapes and cherries and ran out of cantaloupe and honeydew. For dessert they have jello, I think that was it and it wasn’t even that great.
I highly recommend this place!
Price: $25/person ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT!

$25 all u can eat is fawking cheap for korean BBQ O_O…damn im marking this place down!!!!
this pace was absolutely amazing. like what ^^ said, it is absolutely the meatiest place ever. definitely not a place for vegetarians. well, let’s just say there’s VERY little veggies. but besides that everything was good. service was pretty good. when i got there, friday around 6, it was empty; my party was the only ones there. the bill came out to be $35 each person
I went to this restaurant last year with some friends. The ambiance was amazing for a buffet-style dining experience. I am taking my wife here tonight because she never experienced Korean BBQ. I think everybody should try Korean BBQ at least one time in their life. It is an experience like no other. I would also recommend Picnic Garden which is also on Northern Blvd if you want good Korean BBQ at a reasonable price.
I went to this place on a Friday night at 8:00 and it was closed. No notice, nothing. Don’t go this this place.
This phone number is not working….
This place has been converted to New York Buffet, it still offers the same great buffet food and service but the name has changed. Sushi and unlimited meat is offered at this restaurant for the fabulous price of $24.95 like before. The phone number to the newly managed restaurant is 718-321-2770!
I just recently moved back to NY from LA and had booked marked this site so I could try the place out. Are there any other AYCE korean bbq places in the 5 boros? I can’t find one that’s still open.
that should read bookmarked…
The only one left is Picnic Garden Korean BBQ Buffet (updated post). Its also on Northern Blvd but closer to Main Street. If you’re aching for bbq, it won’t disappoint.
The Juliana Still has All you can eat BBQ
Its 20 on weekdays 25 on weekends
