The charcoal cooking method gives a great taste as opposed to some of the more common electric burners. Don't let the entry fool you, you'll have to take the elevator up to the second floor to access this restaurant. Once you reach the second floor you'll be greeted by the friendly staff who will seat you immediately. While you progress to your table you'll pass by a showcase of varied meats a lot of which is Wagyu! The displays were clean and well organized surely to amp up your appetite. In a glass room you'll notice one of the chefs operating a meat slicer as the meat is cut fresh upon ordering. As I'm sure some of you Korean BBQ fanatics have experienced some restaurants have pre portioned frozen meats. Don't skimp out on this restaurant, the food quality is high so make the most of it! While honeymooning in Sydney my wife and I were on the hunt for "Yangnyeom Gejang". Neither my wife nor I are Korean but "Yangnyeom Gejang" is Spicy Marinated Raw Crab. If you've never tried it and are open minded seriously give it a try as its not readily available. The crab dish was extremely well portioned and makes for a great side dish/appetizer. The banchan was superb and you'll be offered a variety of side dishes to accompany your meal. Aside from the raw crab we ordered Wagyu Beef Tongue, Galbi, and Pork belly! All of which satisfied us and we were well satiated! Whether you're just visiting or a local resident I HIGHLY recommend Jang Ta Bal for your next Korean BBQ venture!

The service was a little off -- one tissue napkin for a table of two (why?), basically tossed all the little banchan plates onto the table, and the bowl of miso soup could not have been more than 1/4 cup ... I mean, what's the point. Everything is all forgiven because the food was delicious. Food came out hot, flavors were balanced, and the carafe of ice, cold water was really nice (hey, I'm ready to please). Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity. Give them a try.

There is a sign that points to this super shady alley way. But in the back of that is there Madang actually is. When you walk inside it's well lit so no worries! This place uses charcoal so you do get that flavor. We ordered the baby octopus to start. I thought it was good, just a lot of other stuff mixed in with it. As far as the BBQ we got the bulbogi and the galbi. Both meats are my go to when it comes to Korean BBQ. And this place did not disappoint, tender and flavorful. We got the tofu and seafood soup, it was packed with seafood. The service was prompt and this place stays open late!

Anyway things change and I don't think anyone will be complaining about Manna as it is excellent. You have to go there for the Beef Short Ribs. The Korean recipe for Beef ribs is the best ever and whenever I dine Korean I order ribs if they are on the menu, if you like ribs you must check it out. Manna also offer a delicious deep fried chicken dish as well. If you want the full Korean experience though, Manna offer Korean Liquor as well as a small selection of reasonably priced Australian wine and beers. Go get the ribs, you won't be disappointed.

You would…read morenever know it existed as it's in a small plaza in Waterloo that has all kinds of Asian food and a grocery. Anyway don't expect service to be super fast...it's usually just one person but she does the best she can do. The chefs come out from time to time and are super friendly, one time they brought out a glass of wine and spilled some on accident while pouring and we joked we get another one for free and then they did it! We weren't even serious. The Korean fried chicken here is great, the servings are massive and you can do half orders to try different flavours. The Soy is good and so is the Spicy, but the Spicy is more sweet than spicy. The hot pot is awesome, so I would recommend that as well. If you decide to get the Chilli Cheese Chicken...just be warned that it is VERY spicy...like to the point you're sweating and feel like dying. The side dishes are good and so is the seafood pancake, would recommend trying most of the menu. Don't forget to get some beer too to wash down the chicken.

Not only would I be able to check out your grilling skills, I could also suss out the spiciness you could handle. But enough on that, you want to know how good the food is here. IT'S GOOD. It's real good. I haven't found a place that serves up such fresh meat every time till now. At $39 a head, it's a relatively affordable bang for your buck place. The variety in meats is also good. Not to mention, their prawns are always so large! A kilo of those and you've nearly made back your money! An extra $3 gets you unlimited soft drinks. I would also recommend getting a bottle of soju or maekgoelli (milky looking rice wine) to really complete the meal. The alcohol just enhances the experience really. That might set you back around $10-15 a bottle, though you'll be sharing so it's all a-ok. They also have a good range of hot food (e.g. fried chicken, japchae, which are these noodles, korean pancakes, dumplings, sushi) and korean soups (such as spicy tofu soup). There's lots to eat and plenty of veggies around to accompany all that meat. They also have a little bibimbap station for you to assemble your own! I'd eat that last as rice is super filling. If you feel like splurging more, they offer a premium set that includes a set of sashimi and crazy wagyu beef. It's around an extra $20 a head. Personally, I don't think it's worth it as it's only an one off (e.g. only one serving of sashimi and wagyu) but feel free to try it! Either way, you need to make this place your go to KBBQ. I guarantee your satisfaction.

Everything was tasty except for the mandoo (dumplings), and there was a wide variety available such as pancakes, kimchi, galbi jjim, japchae, sushi, etc. There are also bibimbap options, but when you're at a buffet I doubt you'll fill yourself up on that. The main attraction is the wollamssam (rice paper rolls) and the great thing is you can make as many rolls are you want and all the other good stuff, at a very good price of $25! Lots of space and clean so all in all a great environment to eat yourself silly.

I was in the Darling Harbour area for work and went here for dinner with a couple of colleagues…read more Neither of them had done Korean bbq before, so I was designated to choose. I played it safe and just went for the wagyu mixed grill. The ordering process is QR code based (scan the code on your table, put in your order, food shows up). I made our food and drink selections and within literal seconds a team of 3 people descended on our table with all of the sides and drinks, quickly followed by the meat platter. The sides were really good, especially the kimchi which we had to get refilled a couple of times. The wagyu meat selection was phenomenal and in all it proved to be the exact right amount for a group of 3 of us. I've been to Seoul before and had good Korean BBQ in several major cities in the US as well. I honestly think this was the best I've had. I highly recommend this place and if I'm ever in Sydney again I will definitely come back.

The restaurant is quite small and not much of an atmosphere, probably not somewhere you would go for a nice dinner, but for a quick and cheap lunch, it's decent. I had the Chicken Teryaki Tepan that came with rice and miso soup, and although the portion was a decent size, it was less tasty than most chicken teryakis I've had elsewhere. I'd say if you want a quick and affordable Japanese feed and happen to be around the area, it's not a bad choice, but if you're willing to spend a little more, walk a couple of blocks further towards Maroubra and go to Niji instead, where you'll be able to get much better quality and variety.
