About
InYon Korea Food (อินยอน) is Central Pattaya’s budget answer to the Korean BBQ question. Where the well-known mall spots charge à la carte prices, InYon runs an all-you-can-eat Korean buffet advertised from 289 baht, served in a casual standalone restaurant in the Pattaya Klang area, away from the beachfront. The name comes from the Korean 인연 — “destiny” or “fated connection” — and the cooking leans genuinely Korean: marinated pork in Korean recipes, proper banchan sides, and Korean-sauce dishes rather than a generic Asian buffet line.
Its audience says a lot: the Facebook page posts in Thai and Korean, and the tables fill with Thai groups and Korean residents rather than Western tourists. It is a local’s cheap-night-out place, and it behaves like one — promotions change, hours flex, and the way to know what is on this week is to check the Facebook page, which is very active.
Menu highlights & prices
- Korean BBQ buffet — from 289 baht per person. Marinated pork you grill at your own table burner, with refills from the buffet line. Some premium items carry small surcharges (posts mention add-ons around 39 baht).
- Beyond the grill — the buffet is not only raw meat: reviewers highlight Korean fried chicken, squid stir-fried in Korean sauce, stews and a solid banchan (side dish) spread.
- À la carte menu — available if you just want a bowl of something Korean without committing to the buffet; the page pitches it as a late-night food option.
- Drinks — soft drinks, Thai beer and Korean drinks at neighbourhood prices.
For value, it is hard to argue with: two people can walk out for well under 700 baht having eaten far too much. Manage expectations accordingly — at this price the meat is buffet-grade marinated pork, not premium cuts.
Hours, location & getting there
InYon operates in the evening and into the late night; it actively markets itself to people looking for food after normal kitchens close. Published hours are inconsistent, so before a special trip, message the Facebook page (“InYon Korea food pattaya”) or call +66 82 636 6424.
The restaurant is in the Pattaya Klang / Central Pattaya Road area, inland from Second Road. From Beach Road or Soi Buakhao it is a short motorbike-taxi or Grab hop; baht buses running Central Pattaya Road get you within a few minutes’ walk. Their Facebook posts include a Google Maps link — worth opening, as the surrounding sois can confuse first-timers.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
InYon Korea Food (อินยอน, from the Korean word for 'destiny/connection') is a Korean-run grill restaurant in Central Pattaya best known for its budget Korean BBQ buffet, advertised from 289 baht per person. Unlike the mall-based Korean BBQ places, InYon is a standalone neighbourhood restaurant in the Pattaya Klang area, popular with Thai diners and the local Korean community, serving marinated pork grilled at the table plus a rotating buffet line that goes beyond grill meat — Korean fried chicken, squid in Korean sauce, sides and stews. It also runs an à la carte menu if you do not want the buffet. The vibe is casual and canteen-like rather than polished, it opens into the late evening, and it is one of the cheapest ways in Pattaya to eat your fill of Korean food. Hours and buffet pricing shift with promotions, so check the restaurant's active Facebook page (InYon Korea food pattaya) before making a trip.
