Picnic Garden runs a sprawling Korean BBQ buffet where late-night diners work through self-serve meats and banchan until midnight or 1am, especially on weekends.

Cast Iron Pot Queens is a long-running AYCE Korean BBQ standard where late-night tables linger over endless platters of marinated meats until 1–2am on weekends.

Must-Try Dishes: All-you-can-eat beef and pork selection, Butter squid for the grill, Seafood add-on platter

Y Space BBQ pushes Korean AYCE into outer-space branding and true graveyard-shift hours, grilling premium cuts well past 2am and even 4am on weekends. Neon-lit rooms, looping projection screens, and a time-limited feast format make it feel like a party-first late-night stop for meat-heavy tables.
Must-Try Dishes: American Wagyu AYCE Set, A5 Wagyu Toro Sushi, Nakaochi Kalbi Short Rib
What makes it special: A neon, space-themed yakiniku spot where guests grill wagyu and steak cuts tableside.
