Butchers Buffet located in the heart of the city, is possibly the best all you can eat korean barbeque I have ever had in my long lifetime. From the kind staff who constantly check and ensure that the grill is clean to the HUGE range of meats and food available, this is definitely my favourite all you can eat spot. I had reserved a spot with my mates at opening time, the staff were perfectly on time, with doors open 11:30am sharp. The place was absolutely spotless and the food was all topped up ready to roll into my mouth. The place even offers a free soda once you have signed up through a QR code which was so convinient. I must say my mates and I ate a lot of food ranging from rice to french fries. Let me tell you about the meat range. There was just so much to choose from and the quality was top notch. Every meat melts in your mouth and the ability to cook to preference really enhances the unforgettable taste. I also tried out the Herb Squid and spicy chicken which were also really good. Overall, after chatting and eating with my mates, we have decided to award this place with our highest ratings as we all left the table with a full stomach and eagerness to visit Butchers Buffet again in the future.

Here is the kind of place where you walk in hungry and walk out questioning every life decision that didn't involve unlimited meat. with fresh cut pork belly, juicy marinated beef, crispy sides, hot dishes, and many more! The grill sizzles nonstop, the vibe feels like a food festival, and the value is so good for how much you get! If you're looking for a place to dine, this would be your food lovers galore!

The yummiest AYCE in Chinatown! The variety of meats was insaneee, and each was marinated with different sauces which was so gooddd. There were also a ton of yummy Korean dishes like japchae which was a great alternative to cooking the meats! The restaurant is a bit smoky and smelly from the meat smoke but it’s still a great spot to have dinner!

Had dinner at The Butcher Buffet and it was awesome! The food was super tasty — the meats were juicy and cooked perfectly, and there were so many options to choose from. The sides and salads were also fresh and full of flavor. The staff were really nice and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. The place has a fun vibe and everything looked clean and well-organized. Totally worth the price! I left so full and happy — can’t wait to go back again!

My family and I went to Butchers Buffet in Chinatown for an all-you-can-eat BBQ dinner, and the experience was fantastic! They offer a wide variety of meats, which restock quickly, and everything is very fresh. We had a lot of Wagyu Beef Chuck Roll, Angus Beef Flap Meat, Angus Beef Oyster Blade, Prime Pork Belly, and prawns. The grilled Wagyu was tender and delicious, the Angus beef was fragrant and flavorful, the pork belly was juicy and rich, and the prawns were fresh and tasty. We were practically drooling with every bite — it was amazing. I also enjoyed the cooked dishes section, especially the fried chicken drumsticks and Garlic Prawns. The drumsticks were crispy and sweet, and the Garlic Prawns, made with fresh prawns, had a delightful flavor with a slight kick of spice — so good! I also loved the mini red-bean dorayaki from the dessert section. They were adorable little fish-shaped cakes filled with sweet, gooey red-bean paste , absolutely delicious! The ice cream there was great too. I tried the strawberry and rockmelon flavors, a refreshing blend of fruity and creamy. In just an hour and a half at Butchers Buffet, you can eat incredibly well and leave very full. The staff were warm and attentive. Butchers Buffet is the best choice for all-you-can-eat BBQ in Sydney!
