The Best Korean BBQ in Perth for Charred Perfection

Korean BBQ is one of the central elements of Korean cuisine, known for its sizzling tabletop grill and all the small bowls of sides (banchan), including dipping sauces, pickled veg and our personal favourite, kimchi.

This style of cooking lets all the different flavours and textures shine, as various cuts of meat are marinated in sauces and cooked exactly how you like.

Korean BBQ is as much about the drama of the dining experience as it is about the food itself, and there’s one thing you can always guarantee: everyone involved is happily full by the end.
