Insadong Korean Charcoal BBQ



Eastwood is full of Korean, Japanese and Chinese restaurants. This one in particular is a stand out for us. Have tried a few of the Korean there but this one is always a hit. Unlike some restaurants where cooking your own food is a bit of a novelty, and going again you realise the food is not that great Insadong always satisfies.



The seafood pancake and tofu entries are excellent. Even though the head chef gets frustrated making the pancakes as they are so difficult. The service is great and the owner is always on hand to tell us the traditional way to eat or cook a certain food. Licensed but offer a few types of Korean and Aussie beers.


I recommend ordering BBQ and cooking yourself. You will also receive at least 5 side dishes always including Kim Chee to accompany the BBQ. Most of the time this is what we have done, but the regular mains are also great. The Bi Bim Bap (with vegetarian option) is great. I don't think anyone that has come with us has been disappointed.

Love the place, nice food and great service.
Highly recommand their BBQ, especially Pork Belly and Beef Breast meat, goes down quite nice with some rice, Bean Paste wrapped by lettuce. Also should try korean wine Soju, best winter drink.

Tip, they often have tourist group stop for dinner between Thu-Sun. Service level may reduce when that happens.
Better phone them up first, or go there Mon-Wed like I do.

Price wise, BBQ for two, with Soju wine $60-$80 all together.

Enjoy!
