Hwadam BBQ

Skip the ground-floor crowds—this Level 2 authentic Korean grill is where Melbourne's serious carnivores congregate. K-BBQ purists are obsessed with the premium setups here. Unreal Wagyu marbling. Bubbling hotpots. Dense, crispy seafood pancakes loaded to the absolute brim. The ultimate move? Order the Wagyu karubi or diced sirloin and surrender the tongs to the impeccably trained staff. They sear every cut over glowing charcoal to absolute perfection while you kick back in the chic, cozy dining room. True insiders always pair that smoky, fatty beef with an order of seasoned sushi rice for a brilliant DIY nigiri experience—washed down with a sweet, tart pour of authentic bokbunja-ju (raspberry wine). An aggressively flavorful, high-energy spot for top-tier charcoal grilling.
