Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Gross! Microwaved wings dipped in excessive sauce. Tasted rank wouldn’t be surprised If I have an upset gut tonight! Poor table service constantly having to ask for people to come serve us the buffet. Forgot my drink, a fork for the coleslaw just annoying. Everything...came out at different times so you filled up waiting and waiting for the rest. Then to find out you don’t get your own plate of wings even though you order and pay for separate buffets. Waste of money wish I could get my money back - terrible lunch.More

As this place is always packed when I pass, I thought I'd give it a try. Ordered takeaway. Very expensive for what you get. Chicken smelt a bit 'off' but I figured maybe that was how it's meant to smell. Persevered and ate some of...it anyway. Bad decision. Chicken was dry with hardly any sauce. Chips were ok. Felt sick about 30 mins after eating. Two hours later still feeling nauseous and unwell. Not going back for a second try.More

My partner and I went for the all you can eat wings and they were delicious, you also get as much fries, bread and peach tea as you want. Fries normal, bread burnt, peach tea delish. We tried soju for the first time as well...ha ha staff friendly, and service was fast. Would definitely visit again.More

Highly recommended for their awesome chicken wings 😋 This venue is crazy busy, incredibly noisy, always packed with patrons but the service is very fast and the food, incredible 🏆 Access is street level but don’t even consider bringing a pram or wheel chair, think...sardines. My tips for visiting Seoul Bistro; 1. Book your table in advance to avoid disappointment - it’s a must 2. Be prepared for a venue so noisy, that you’ll hardly be able to hear your neighbour 3. Strictly one bill per table, so plan ahead 4. The buffet wings look like good value but I’d recommend ordering in quantities you’ll manage. If you order the buffet, any wings left uneaten will cost $1 each to take home. If you order by quantity, uneaten food can be taken without charge 5. The lemon iced tea is great and good value 6. Parking can be challenging. Check the area behind the real estate office in Station Road - opposite the venue Did I mention that you must book?!More

Really dissapointing first experience. Ordered through doordash, food arrived late. The driver apologized and said they didn't call the order when it was ready. I ordered 2 Japa burgers with fries and Gyoza dumplings. The food was cold, the chips were stale and unedible, the...burgers had way too much mayo put on them, the buns soggy, lettuce soggy, some weird stringy bits in it that resembled plastic? and the chicken was rubbery and not crunchy. Looked nothing like the pictures, barely ate any of it, nearly all went in the bin. Probably the worst burger I've ever had, absolute slop, could get better quality from a truck stop. The gyoza was the only thing that was edible and they were still very poor quality. Will never order from here again.More

I was taken to Seoul Bistro on a date earlier in the year and I have visited multiple times since, taking anyone who visits me in Queensland here for dinner as I LOVE this place! The wings are always fresh and delicious and have so...much meat on the bone which is a lovely surprise, usually places with cheap wing deals have subpar wings. The chips are also quite delicious, I love using the Buffalo Blue Cheese Sauce with them. Highly recommend for a fun, cheap dinner idea.More

Dirty tables, dirty walls, shared dirty blankets, but they don't give us table water because of COVID. It's always a long slow wait at the front door to be seated. When seated we were greeted by a dirty wall and table, much like the attitude...of our waitress who shouldn't work in hospitality. She told one of us to move near this uncomfortable post with a menu holder on it that made it uncomfortable to eat in order to make it easier for her to walk past even. Come on, lets care more about the staff than the customer, that is what hospitality is about. There was ample room for her bad attitude to travel past us. It would be easy to ask for serviettes right, wrong, she didn't want to make it that easy and you had to play twenty questions to get a minimum standard of service, even the bare minimum cutlery was an ask. This isn't the first time we have experienced bad service there, so it is not a one off due to staff having a bad day. Seoul Bistro can only be classed as a pig pen with average food, unsatisfactory service, dirty tables and walls, and nothing more than that.More

The service here was quite poor. I am in no way difficult to please, i know they were busy which you know, deserves a little leigh way. There were more than a couple of times where i would see one of the servers just standing...in one spot doing nothing fiddling with things on a bench or table. Most of the servers were flat out all over the place which would make it difficult to keep track of which tables ordered what and whether or not the tables had been served in the first place. Our table wasn't served for a good 20 minutes, i had honestly thought they had forgotten. After that, our table wasnt seen to for another 20 minutes and then almost another 20 after that to order more from the buffet. One of the biggest annoyances was that there was a table in the middle of the area which was not specifically designated for anything, over the course of our meal tablets, clean dishes, dirty dishes, doordash orders and other items were randomly left here. Not very organised or professional. But besides all of that, the food was actually good. Would like to see them be better organised to make the customers experience more pleasant and enjoyable.More

Seoul Bistro Sunnybank has the most amazing buffet and lunch specials - I’ve had them both. However, when I went to pay today during lunch (not peak hour), the asian waitress with the dyed blonde/yellow hair yelled in my face to hurry my order as...I asked to pay with 2 different cards. She could have told me politely (if this wasn’t allowed) instead of yell at me; in addition to sighing, huffing and puffing, and jabbing her finger at the menu to hurry me up. So sad to see this and hope it doesn’t happen again!More

Great value for money. $21.90 per person buffet chicken wings plenty of flavours to choose from (includes chips, garlic bread and lemon iced tea). The lemon iced tea was amazing! If you don’t finish your wings, it’s $1 per left over wing to take home...(it’s a fair ask) Staff were always coming around to see if we needed any top ups too.More
