Garden Buffet has a wide selection of meats and seafood that you cook at you table over charcoal, they also have a karaoke room. This sounds like what you are looking for. They include a 10% gratuity. You can leave more if you like and I always do.

For the best (IMHO) Korean BBQ in the city I go to Woo Chon. This is not all you can eat, but the quality is high and you will not leave hungry.

I know of one to avoid -- the one on Golf Road in
Mount Prospect, where I contracted
campylobacterosis last summer.  After the hospital affirmed the diagnosis, I called the village to report it.  The sanitation inspector said they had recently scored only 50 on a 100-point inspection, and he'd already ordered the whole staff to to sanitation school.

They haven't closed the joint down, so presumably
they complied, but I'm not taking chances by
revisiting them.  Campylobacter is a truly vicious bacterium.
