“ The food combo A was very good and we enjoyed the presentation of smoke ice on the Wagyu tray with 3 type of steaks and a wide array of side dishes, this gave the feeling of true authentic Korean restaurant hidden in one of the side streets off Haymarket was recommended and did not disappoint. We enjoyed the 2 combo platter of short ribs and wagyu special a Tofu kimchi stew which was spicy and very flavorful. The portions sizes are modest, but they will refill all the traditional Condiments like Kimchi and radish side. Would definitely recommend this little restaurant, where staff is efficient and restaurant feels tight. ”

The staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious – every bite was full of flavor! Had a great experience grilling at the table and enjoying authentic Korean BBQ. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back! ”
“ First time we ate Korean cuisine here. We chose the BBQ option. The helpful staff took the time to explain how it works. The Wagyu beef (fillet & tenderloin) was very good. ”
“ My friend and I ordered the pork set for two people which came with three flavours of pork. It came with so many side dishes that all tasted amazing except the red dippjng sauce. The soy fried chicken was also DIVINE. The staff were polite and helpful and the food was great. Will definitely be going back. ”
“ I recently went to Daechanggeum, a Korean BBQ place right in the heart of Sydney, on a weekday and really enjoyed it. One thing I appreciated was that the staff grilled the meat for us, so we could just relax and focus on enjoying the food. The meat was fresh and high quality, with great flavor. The side dishes were thoughtfully prepared and complemented the meal well. The atmosphere felt warm and cozy—perfect for a casual dinner with friends or family. Overall, it was a great experience with tasty food and good service in a convenient location. Definitely a solid choice for Korean BBQ in Sydney. ”
“ We ordered spicy beef soup and chicken soup for each of us. Both soups were average in taste and hot enough, but the portions were a bit small, so I recommend ordering some side dishes. I'm unsure if the rice was prepared in advance, as there was a strange smell seems like the rice has been lingered for a while with the cover on. The service was decent. ”
“ Not a vegan While most places in the area close at 10:00 PM, this restaurant stays open until 10:45 PM, which makes it a rare find. Even close to closing time, they kindly accommodated a group of around 10 of us. The portions were huge—so big that I almost regretted ordering so much! The yakiniku was fairly standard, but the cold noodles and the jeon (Korean pancake) were absolutely delicious and highly recommended. What stood out most was the amazing service from the female staff member. Noticing that we might not finish everything, she immediately prepared takeout containers for us, which was very thoughtful. I was also impressed when she cleared away a sizzling hot iron plate with her bare hands—such dedication! Truly grateful for the great service. ”
“ Our family of 4 dropped in for lunch today. We were sat down at a table right inside the front windows, straight away. We bought two serves of chicken - Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken and Fried Chicken with Rice Cakes. Along with that we had a serve of the pork dumplings. Our sides arrived very quickly with our drinks, and the ordered meals arrived within ten minutes. It has to be said that every part of the meal was nothing short of absolutely delicious. The service was also outstanding. The staff made sure we had everything we needed, and attended to us at exactly the right time. We really enjoyed our meal, the service, and our visit as a whole. We'll have no hesitation to visit again. Thank you for a great meal and experience. ”
