BBQ-K 916A Doncaster Road, Doncaster East, Victoria 3109

"Second time here and really couldn’t fault anything. We were the only table at lunchtime so we had two dedicated BBQ’ers who did a great job. We had a beef set, and a mixed set with beef, chicken and pork belly alongside a couple of vegetarian pancakes. Everything was spot on and it’s always fun taking newbies to Korean BBQ. Worked out about $80 a head with a drink each and plenty of food. Came back for the third time in a fortnight and the BBQ was still top notch. Also ordered the KFC this time around but sadly their Korean Fried Chicken isn’t up to the same standard. It was more like popcorn chicken and there was no option for bones in and the oil they used didn’t taste particularly fresh. Stick to the BBQ at this place!"

"My first Korean BBQ experience!! My partner and I didn’t have a clue how to use the charcoal so the staff helped us make the food which was very nice of them. Next time I definitely want to make our own food now that I saw how it works! My partner and I went for the Combination Set valued at $95 for 2 people, and tteokbokki valued at $20, with 2 grape juices. If you’re going 2 people I say the Combination Set is very filling, it comes with a lot of sides, 2 rices, and a soup (we had the Kimchi soup). It’s definitely enough as it is. The tteokbokki was amazing, definitely one of the best I’ve had ever. I like how it was pure rice cakes and nothing else, as I know some places add noodles and stuff to be on the cheap side. I had beef on my tteokbokki and I think it complemented everything very well. We went for the spicy Kimchi and tteokbokki and it was just the right amount of spice without taking away from the flavour! We didn’t have any alcohol but if that’s something you’re interested in, their menu definitely has a good variety to offer. We had the black sesame ice cream for dessert and it was fabulous! It tasted a bit coconut-y too which was lovely. I hadn’t had black sesame ice cream before, now I know it’s definitely one of my favourites. Was very easy to eat. It was $8 and the portion was enough for 2. The reason I rate it 4 stars and not 5 was sadly they charge for takeaway containers if you have any left overs, which is always so sad for me to see because it makes me think they rather get rid off the food than let a customer take it home. For example I would’ve loved to take some of the tteokbokki home rather than forcing myself to finish it. Also even though I liked them helping us out with the food, because they did it rushed and all at once then took away the charcoal, our food got very cold and we couldn’t reheat it, and we felt cold too with the heat being gone. I wish they kept the charcoal on the table a bit more, I don’t know why they rushed taking it away as others around us were Taking their time and enjoying the charcoal for longer. I would’ve loved to slow down and enjoy the warmth of the charcoal as we reheated our food. Nonetheless, we’ll be back again and perhaps bring family over too. This time I look forward to cooking ourselves and maybe try another set of food and beverages!"

"Beautiful food, beverage choice, and catering to a large group of 8. The chef/waiter for our table didn't seem to use all the meat we paid for, but we asked to use it, and he did apologise, which we appreciated as we spent a fair bit. Nice atmosphere, and whilst staff are efficient, it can come off as more of a 'in & out' service. We accidentally handed an extra $50.00 note, which was briefly returned, which we really appreciated and ended up leaving as a tip."

"Daniyeru's Detailed Review: Customer Service 5/5 *Every staff is here seems like they were nurtured and trained by a caring supervisor and manager. This is how all hospitality venues should be. You should offer classes to the 90% of hospitality venues that lack customer human service! Food 5/5 *Ebery dish here was really delicous *Make sure to get the higher quality beef, they will melt in your mouth! I would recommend Wagyu *Charcoal BBQ is always the better BBQ *Fried chicken and the white sauce was really good. Fried chicken was slightly on the dry side however *Everything else was amazing! Value 5/5 *Serves are generous here! We actually ordered too much and had to cancel and we were still full! Atmosphere 5/5 *Modern, new fit out. What I liked the most here was the exhaust system was very efficient and effective so you don't have to smell like korean BBQ when you leave. Overall * Too notch customer service combined with charcoal meats and high quality korean food, you can't go wrong and would recommend anyone to come to this fine example of modern day hospitality!"
