Teng Sheng Korean BBQ Buffet

If you’re looking for a value-for-money Korean BBQ buffet, this hidden gem inside ITE College Central (Ang Mo Kio) is well worth checking out. A little tip for first-timers: if you’re driving, head towards Block F and drive all the way to the end near the running track and field. The restaurant is just upstairs. If it’s raining, it’s better to park nearer the centre of the campus as you’ll need to use the staircase to get there. We arrived at around 6.30pm on a weekend, and it was a full house. The supervisor in black politely informed us there would be about a 30-minute wait, took down my number, and asked us to wait outside. While waiting, my boys had a great time kicking a football around at the nearby field, so the wait actually passed quite quickly. True enough, in less than 30 minutes, I received a call and our table for five was ready. This is definitely a no-frills Korean BBQ buffet, so don’t expect restaurant-style service. If it isn’t crowded, simply walk in, make payment at the counter, collect the receipt and the cups according to your group size, then find your seat. It works surprisingly well. Now for the food. Honestly, for $22 nett on weekends with no hidden charges, it’s hard to complain. There was a wide variety of: * Marinated and non-marinated beef, pork and chicken * Spicy and non-spicy meat selections * Prawns and squid * Lettuce wraps, kimchi and plenty of Korean side dishes * Mushrooms, vegetables and hotpot ingredients * Fried chicken, nuggets, fries, sausages and other fried snacks * Fried rice and seaweed soup * Watermelon and ice cream for dessert * A generous selection of soft drinks beverages The ice cream isn’t premium quality—it’s more the syrup-based icy type—but considering the price, it’s perfectly acceptable. The staff were friendly and efficient despite the crowd. They may not provide five-star hospitality, but they were polite and kept things moving smoothly. The only reason I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because the cleanliness and ventilation could be improved. Like most Korean BBQ places, you’ll leave smelling like BBQ from head to toe, but the ventilation here could definitely do a better job. Wear clothes you’re prepared to wash afterwards! Overall, if you’re after an affordable, fuss-free Korean BBQ buffet with plenty of food choices, this place is excellent value for money. Bring your family or a group of friends, come with realistic expectations, and you’ll probably leave full and happy.

Marinate too oily, taste more like authentic Chinese than Korean .

The food selection was quite extensive, and the dipping sauces had a familiar taste to Thai people. Overall, it was good.

This was actually my third visit, which is why I wanted to leave feedback. I’ve enjoyed dining here before and specifically came back because I was looking forward to a relaxed meal experience. I would like to clarify that this is not a complaint about the staff, as I understand they were likely following restaurant policy. My feedback is mainly about transparency. I saw “unlimited time” stated online, but I could not find any information mentioning a 1hour and 20 minutes dining limit for solo diners during public holidays. I completely understand if special policies apply during busy periods. However, I was only informed after arriving and making payment. I had travelled quite a distance because I specifically chose this place hoping for a more relaxed dining experience. This is not about disagreeing with the rule itself. I would simply appreciate it if such policies could be stated officially online or clearly communicated in advance, so customers can make informed decisions before visiting and avoid any misunderstandings. I hope this feedback can help improve transparency and create an even better experience for future customers.

The meat was very fresh, and the dipping sauce was excellent. The staff were friendly and provided great service, except for one Chinese female staff member. She always looked unhappy and had an unfriendly attitude. Instead of paying attention to customers, she seemed to be looking at her phone most of the time, which made the dining experience less pleasant.

Food is generally delicious. A wide variety of marinated and non-marinated meats (pork, beef, chicken), dory fish, sausages, luncheon meats etc. There's something for everybody here :) Salad / Banchan was okay; no complaints from me. I particularly liked their white pickled radish 🐻‍❄️ Sauce bar was slightly disappointing, I found the sauces to be underwhelming... but taste is subjective :) Ventilation and hygiene is on the poorer side, but nothing too bad :) Fried foods section was lovely 🤩 I especially liked their fried fish 🐟 and nuggets while my mom complimented the fried gyoza 🥟 The buffet comes with cooked food as well that you can order: Steamed egg 🍳, saba fish, and ramyeon 🍜 I highly recommend their saba fish !! It did not disappoint and was cooked very well :) Free-flow ice cream was a nice way to end the hearty meal 🍨 Friendly owners and staff 😁 Overall, I'd say it's very value for money and I had a good experience dining here 👍🏻

Area was noisy, pretty small area. Food was good for most part. Some not as flavorful, free flow drinks & sauce bar as well

Thought it's a little known place but the crowd proved us wrong. For the price of $22 nett for weekend, it's a good deal for Korean BBQ buffet. Love how they keep replenishing unlike some other places where you have to wait coz things like prawns, squid and beef steaks. We didn't have to wait for them to replenish anything for the numerous rounds that we went. Variety of drinks available was also impressive. There are limited seats so will suggest that you make reservations.
