Wudon Korean BBQ: Experience Authentic Korean Barbecue in Saint Louis

Grabbed Sunday lunch at Wudon, it was so good!! Found out I like pickled radishes, they have never been a vegetable that was at the top of my list of things to eat but that has changed. Opted not to eat the actual "cook your own meal" version of the BBQ, but went for the Bulgogi Dolsot and my lunch mate ordered the Jeyuk Dolsot. The difference is the amount of time the meat marinades, the Bulgogi was so tender and flavorful. I also tried the Soon Dobu Jjigae soup with seafood. It came to the table boiling hot. Everything we had was good, fresh, and filling. Wudon sits off Olive, west of 270. Stop in and check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Wudo. Korean BBQ is a fun dining experience to take your kids to. If you get all you can eat for everyone, it can be expensive. However, we buy the ultimate combo which includes prime rib eye steak, beef rib, pork belly, beef bulgogi, and spicy pork. It comes with three soups, eggs, seafood pancake, rice, and sides (including kimchi). We have fed 8 people with this, including three teenage boys. You grill the meat at your table. They have not had reservations available when we went but we were seated fairly quickly. I highly recommend this restaurant. We did have a vegetarian with us and they didn't have tofu as a protein option so there wasn't a lot to eat. She had the egg and rice. Our gluten free friend was able to eat though.

Best KBBQ I have had. I have been going to Wudon since high school and some of my friends have a tradition of everyone getting the all you can eat buffet then seeing how many platters we can take down. I have countless great memories here and there are several things that Wudon does very well. The first thing that comes to mind is the meats! Oh man the variety, flavor, quality and quantity of the platters they bring out are amazing. The beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, spicy pork, brisket, pork belly, etc are all so good. The spicy pork and beef bulgogi are my personal favorites and are marinated in a delicious sauce that makes every bite a treat. The grill set up is very nice and certain tables can accommodate up to 10 or more people. They don't change the grill out often which is an aspect that I really like as it allows the grill to stay hot and for you to continue to cook at a good rate which is ideal for larger parties. The sides that come with the all you can eat are also quite good but I typically restrain from indulging too much so I can fill up on the good stuff. Atmosphere inside is intimate, and simple. Staff is kind and attentive, almost always staying on top of waters and requests. Myself and many of my friends love this spot and we will continue to come and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.

This place was an interesting experience. I went with a group of people and it was a little confusing on how to order, but one of my friends had been there before so she showed us the ropes. We ordered one of the special combos for the whole table and it was weird because it came with one bowl of soup and one seafood pancake. It was confusing because there were 4 of us. We didn't all want the same soup and were we all supposed to share the soup or fight over who gets it? Still not sure what we were supposed to do but me and a friend shared it. Then they bring the meat out and you cook it at the table. Luckily my friend knew how it all worked because I would have been lost. It was a fun experience though! And the art and sayings on the wall were cute.

Very busy on a Friday night. Good thing there is a Korean grocery store nearby and we killed some time there. Everything smelled and tasted good. Definitely ate too much LOL

Somehow, Korean barbecue has become a traditional Father's Day meal for me and I am pretty happy with that! Booked an 11am reservation for Father's Day for all 7 of us and we were seated promptly. The kids ordered, cooked and paid. Can't beat that! We went with the All You Can Eat option. Our server brought our drinks, sides and all the accoutrement. Here's a rundown: - Boneless short rib - Our table favorite. So tasty and tender. Great marinade. Rating 4.2 - Chicken Bulgogi - decent marinade with the pear shining through. Cooked up with a nice caramelization which enhanced the flavor. Rating 4.0 - Fish Cake - Decent! I think I have found this exact type at the local Asian supermarket. Rating: 3.8 - seafood pancake - Not very much seafood (shrimp), but it was excellent. Dipping sauce was perfect. Rating: 4.2 - Soft Tofu Soup - decent. Rating: 3.6 Other items included chili, soybean past, kimchi, daikon radish, salt and pepper, broccoli, lettuce. All good. Service was prompt throughout. They were busy and they kept up with everything. Overall ambiance is super casual. They have very interesting design style - almost Manhwa. One thing I was keeping an eye out for was cleanliness the table we were sitting probably needs to be replaced. The wood stain seemed to absorb water and a number of attempts had been made to patch it up. This was definitely a great experience and the food fire! Overall rating -
