Goon Korean BBQ - Collingwood

Skip the usual Smith Street haunts and slide into this buzzing, nostalgic joint. Early 2000s romcom energy—complete with a killer throwback soundtrack. Those chasing a proper meat-sweat feast point straight to the premium Wagyu and thick-cut samgyeopsal (pork belly). Fresh, intensely marinated beef short ribs sizzling right at the table. Don't gloss over the crunchy KFC or the blisteringly hot dolsot bibimbap. K-BBQ purists pack the courtyard for the electric vibe and generous portions. Owner Danny and the crew dish out hospitality so warm it feels like dining at a mate's place—sometimes even pouring complimentary soju for a spontaneous gunbae. Whether you’re loading up a ssam with fiery kimchi or dropping in for a quick lunch special, this spot delivers a masterclass in high-voltage Korean fare. Even vegetarians get a proper look-in. Fast, professional, and undeniably fun.
