Where to eat Korean BBQ in Ho Chi Minh City

Two ways to do Korean BBQ in Saigon

Ho Chi Minh City has no shortage of Korean BBQ, but most of it blurs together. Two spots stand out for opposite reasons: one is a loud, retro, all-you-can-eat party; the other is a quiet, premium Wagyu dinner. Here is how to choose.

For the feast: BROS KOREA 1980s

BROS KOREA 1980s is all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ in a retro 1980s Seoul setting — neon signs, old-school posters, the works. It sits at 47 Nguyen Thi Dieu, District 3, and it is built for groups who want to eat a lot and stay a while.

Pricing is buffet-style: lunch runs 199,000đ Monday to Friday, while dinner, main, and special buffets (369,000đ–429,000đ) run Friday to Sunday. Hours are generous — daily 11:00 to 23:00, last order at 22:00 — so it works for a long lunch as well as a late dinner.

Go here when you are with friends, you are hungry, and you want the full noisy K-BBQ experience without watching the bill climb per plate.

For the occasion: Midam Korean Premium BBQ

Midam Korean Premium BBQ is the other end of the spectrum — premium Korean BBQ at 02 Thi Sach, Ben Nghe, District 1, built around Kobe Wagyu beef, kimchi hot pot, and private rooms.

This is à la carte, and priced like it: the Kobe Wagyu BBQ beef set is 2,300,000đ and Kobe rib eye is 900,000đ, with more approachable options like pork belly at 280,000đ, kimchi hot pot at 400,000đ, and army stew at 500,000đ. Open daily 11:00–22:00.

Go here for date night, a business dinner, or when you want to taste what top-tier Korean beef is actually about.
