All Ban Korean Table

Monic Laurent

Several Korean BBQ restaurants possess popped up in Penang in the last year or two, but All Ban is the greatest of the five I've tried up to now. Besides the selection of pork and poultry, in different marinades, there exists a broad selectionof panchan, or aspect dishes. Within my several visits, you can find always at the very least two soups, which includes one made with refreshing clams and tofu in a tasty broth, and occasionally a savory stew. You can find other seafood dishes aswell, such as grilled seafood, cockles, and stir-fried clams -- dishes not usually bought at some other buffets. The dinner also includes free-movement chilled barley tea and fruits for dessert. The standard of the food exhibits a particular refinement over additional buffets; for instance, there are elements to create bibimbap, there's a selection of dipping sauces I don't see at various other buffets, and sometimes some other special dishes can be found. The area is well-run: the staff is effective and well-trained; they keep carefully the tables cleared promptly, and the buffet desk is held replenished and tidy, unlike some buffets that turn out to be free-for-alls. The tabletop grills use propane, which, unlike charcoal, could be adjusted for cooking and do not overheat the complete dining area round the table. Remarkably, the price is quite competitive with additional Korean buffets. Rather than least of most, the restaurant is properly decorated and air-conditioned, producing for a cushty dining knowledge unlike the outside buffets in Penang. It's on the second flooring of the Northam Suites Resort, where there's a lot of parking obtainable in the area.
