By Charlie Coleman | 19th May 2026Sit down at a tabletop grill, watch the pork belly start to sizzle, and let the banchan pile up.
Korean BBQ isn’t a quiet meal. It’s social, it stretches out, and it’s one of the best ways to catch up with friends over a sizzling feast.

There are big buffet setups with 30-plus meats, late-night laneway venues that fill after midnight, and polished restaurants where the wagyu gets the attention it deserves.

Maru Korean Restaurant
Brisbane City
Maru is the gold standard of Korean BBQ in Brisbane. The CBD venue runs across two levels with low lighting, dark timber, and built-in table grills, and the kitchen uses binchotan charcoal – the premium Japanese hardwood variety – to get a mouthwatering flavour. Order the wagyu, marinated pork collar, and a serving of corn cheese for the table, and the LA galbi short ribs are non-negotiable if you’re in the mood for beef.
The banchan holds up too, offering proper fermented kimchi, pickled radish, and bean sprouts, with a few rotating extras. The hot plate bibimbap, served sizzling-hot with an egg on top, is a personal favourite that’s easy to miss if you’re focused on the grill.
Hours: Mon–Thu 11:30am–10:30pm, Fri–Sat 11:30am–11pm, Sun 11:30am–10:15pm
Price: $40–$80 per person
Hanwoori Korean BBQ Buffet
Brisbane City
At $55 a head for dinner, Hanwoori is hard to beat in the CBD. It’s an all-you-can-eat setup centred on the concept of ‘janchi’: a celebration or festivities with family and friends. The weekday lunch at $30 is worth checking out, and the $35 vegetarian buffet is one of the better options in Brisbane for non-meat eaters.
Hours: Daily — Lunch 11:30am–3pm, Dinner 5pm–10pm
Price: Lunch from $30, Dinner $55–$58 per person
Seoul Garden
Sunnybank
Seoul Garden opened in Sunnybank in late 2024 and quickly became one of Queensland’s largest Korean BBQ buffets. The scale says it all: 800 square metres, 30-plus meats, 50-plus hotpot options, plus a raw bar, sushi, and dessert. If your friend group has mixed tastes, there’s enough variety to keep the whole gang happy, and the miso hotpot broth is one of the standouts. This place pops off, so make sure to book ahead for weekends.
Hours: Mon–Fri 12pm–3pm & 5pm–9:30pm, Sat–Sun 11:30am–3pm & 5pm–9:30pm
Price: Lunch $43.90, Dinner $49.90 per person
Korilla BBQ
Brisbane City
Korilla has been charcoal grilling in the CBD since before it was a trend and it still delivers. The dining room sits above Queen Street, away from the noise, and the charcoal gives the meat a depth that gas can’t match. The marinated prime rib and oyster blade are the standouts, along with perfectly seared pork belly. It sits at the pricier end of Brisbane KBBQ, but the quality backs it up and it serves as an excellent date spot.
Hours: Mon–Thu 11:30am–10pm, Fri–Sat 11:30am–11pm, Sun 12pm–9:30pm
Price: $60–$80 per person
Funny Funny
Brisbane City
Based in the Brisbane CBD, Funny Funny is open til 1:30am from Tuesday to Sunday, making it the perfect spot to duck into and refuel during a night on the turps. Tucked into Burnett Lane, it’s the kind of venue where dinner turns into a late one without much effort. Order the army stew and spicy rice cakes alongside your grill. The late-night set meals available from 8pm are worth planning around if you’re heading in on the later side.
Hours: Tue–Sun 5pm–1:30am
Price: $40–$60 per person
Go Bull
Sunnybank
More like no-bull, am I right? Go Bull is for those who want Korean BBQ the way it’s done in Korea. Late, loud, and centred around cuts you won’t usually find in Brisbane. The offal selection with gopchang, yang, and makchang is the main draw, and a great reason for a trip to Sunnybank Hills. If it’s your first time, consider the assorted beef set. Otherwise, order the gopchang with a fresh soju and settle in.
Hours: Tue–Fri 5pm–12am, Sat–Sun 11am–2:30pm & 5pm–12am, closed Mondays
Price: $20–$40 per person : @gobull_brisbane
Dadam Korean BBQ
Springfield
Dadam is one of the best Korean BBQ spots in Brisbane that still flies under the radar. Chef Yun’s menu makes the drive out to Springfield worth it. The flavours lean into Korean home-style cooking using Australian produce, while the charcoal grills give the meat real depth. The space is more polished than you’d expect for the location. If this were in Fortitude Valley, you’d be booking weeks in advance.
Hours: Daily 11:30am–3pm & 5pm–9pm (until 10pm Thu–Sat)
Price: $40–$60 per person
Brisbane’s Korean BBQ scene covers a lot right now, from two-hour Sunnybank buffets to charcoal-only CBD spots that justify the price. Book ahead, come hungry, and probably leave the white shirt at home.
