Madang Korean BBQ — Restaurant in Melbourne

At first I low expectation with this restaurant. First impressions I thought it was a basic Korean BBQ restaurant with sub par food options.

The BBQ I was a little surprised that they served the BBQ last, after given the other dishes. Usually I thought it was BBQ first then other dishes but that is just nick picking. I did enjoy the service for it. Staff were very friendly and helpful in telling us that the BBQ is ready to eat or not. The best part they didnt even rush when serving the next lot of meat. Some other Korean BBQ places they serve the next lot of meat really fast, I rather take my time eating.

The other dishes Nice to see they provide salad in the BBQ, the only two Korean BBQs that actually provide proper salad are SOKO located in Boxhill and this one. The fried chicken... disppointed. They nailed the crispyness but served in small tiny chicken wings. Really reminds me of wicked wings at KFC. The tempura sides.. a little odd to see it on the menu but it felt like it was bought in a frozen pack at coles or some market and just deep fried it. Corn cheese was great but you gotta try my gf's corn cheese haha

Service I enjoyed their service especially when it was getting busy. Maintained their service really well. Very responsive.

Overall, it is ok. It is your average Korean BBQ restaurant. I gotta come back and try their...

Be wary. Ordered for the first time ever tonight, I was really excited because because there were vegetarian options on the menu (naturally I don't pay much attention to meat options). I ordered a kimchi pancake (and tried to order corn cheese, but that was unavailable), the waiter sounded annoyed over the phone like they wanted to go home. They immediately closed early after I picked the food up and I went home to go enjoy my tasty kimchi pancake. Well I learnt the hard way that they have 3 kimchi pancakes on the menu (seafood, squid and veg) and the squid and veg kimchi pancake are called the exact. same. thing. on the menu. Luckily I'm not allergic, just disgusted, but not clarifying something like that could result in a very serious medical emergency. I really wanted to like this place, and maybe I'll try again much more cautiously in future, but as it stands? Proceed with caution if you have dietary or allergy...

One of the Eastern suburbs best Korean BBQ restuarants Madang offers a charcoal grill experience in a very lush and modern atmosphere.

Delicious cooked options like their japchae and chicken wings are not to be missed.

Grill menu options are as expected like any BBQ house with the staff watching over and taking care of the cooking for you, happy to notice they do their job well and without need for our interference even when they started to get busier.

They do need a space too leave raw dishes at the edge of the table (which is already quite crampted with drinks and everything else on the table) so they can cook, so don't be surprised if they leave meat on the bench seats to create extra space.

Pro tip* - if parking Infront is busy you can go park at the Coles parking at the back which is just a short walk to the venue.
