AI Summary

Melbourne CBD's premium Korean BBQ palace. staff-grilled wagyu with zero smoke and pure theatre.

Grand, polished fine-dining Korean BBQ room with staff grilling tableside. reviewers compare the decor to a traditional Korean palace, cozy yet upscale rather than a casual smoky BBQ joint.

Tableside grilling by staff (no self-cook, no smoke smell), complimentary yuzu tea and seasonal fruit dessert, and 16 years of consistent service noted by long-time regulars.

A mix of traditional Korean fine-dining elements (banchan, yukhoe, doenjang jjigae) with a staff-grilled format reviewers note is adapted for a Western dining audience.

Premium pricing. reviewers estimate roughly $100-160 for two people, with set menus for larger groups more cost-effective; most feel the meat and service quality justifies the higher price.
