Celebratory meat-ing in order.

Update
My friends and I visited this place again on May 21, 2010 and the whole experience simply rolled down on the hill. It was QUTIE BAD. I don’t know what had happened to them since our first visit. Probably management changed, waiters/waitress training worsen, whatever that was, they should have handled the situation more professionally. I’m not going to dig deep into details, but now it feels right to withdraw my previous opinion on this place. However, I’ll keep the original post – so please read at your own risk!
Thanks

Any occasion is another excuse for eating gathering. “I know you don’t need an excuse to eat anyway” you might say. True, but when “All you can eat” is involved, I’d like to have some excuse so I can justify my overloaded stomach later on. ;p So this time, Billy, Helen, Karen, Minh, Richard, Simon and I were called in to celebrate my last day at work.
Initially I thought of O Bal Tan, Suminoya, or Madang for BBQ, which is always quite good for a group gathering, until Billy suggested Shinara Grill & Lounge – another Korean BBQ place but offers all-you-can-eat buffet dinner. (note: O Bal Tan and Madang don’t offer AYCE.) This place has been blogged by our lovely friend Shez on her site, and I remember that I was intrigued but had never gotten to try. Previously blogged from a reliable source + all you can eat + enthusiastic food bloggers, you do the math!
Shinara is located on Pitt street, right in front of the small alley into Madang and O Bal Tan. They have ground floor level bar/dining area, and upper level for BBQ seatings. The upper level is pretty huge space, clean and open atmosphere to it.
Wooo, I remember this thingy from O Bal Tan. No smoke-cough!
First to arrive. this is what I mean by “meat” when I answer to “What did you have for dinner?”
What else do I need to tell, right?
And shortly our table was full of meat and other side dishes. Get cracking!
Bibimbap. Add Gochujang (spicy condiment) and mix it all together.
I don’t think I’d turn into a vegetarian ever again.
Hmmmm come to papa.
Cuteness! and I’m talking about the hanging Sponge Bob.
Shinara offers two all-you-can-eat buffet choices – Basic for $29 (To be confirmed – I think it was $29) and Premium for $39. Premium includes all items from basic menu plus additional items like sushi, sashimi and ox tongue.
Great value for small to large group gathering!
Thanks guys for come celebrate together

Wow, I haven’t been to a KBBQ buffet for yonks; thanks for the review, it looks like a good place to restart my passion!
I’m going to top joey and say that I’ve never been to a Korean BBQ before. I know, tragic. This looks like a good place to start (ironically I’ve started thinking about going vego).
