10 Korean BBQ Spots in Brisbane That’ll Keep You Grillin’ All Night Long
We all know that if there’s one thing Korea does right, it’s Korean BBQ. There’s something so satisfying about sitting around a table, grilling up marinated meats, and acting like we’re pro chefs.
There’s nothing better than flipping that pork belly at the perfect moment, wrapping it in lettuce, and adding a bit of ssamjang. And just when you think you’re full, someone orders more meat, and it’s on repeat.
After spending way too many weekends grilling my way through Brisbane, I’ve put together a list of the Korean BBQ spots that will make you forget your diet!
Maru Korean Restaurant

Address: 157 Elizabeth St, Brisbane City
Contact details: +61433017020
Operating hours:
- Daily 11:30 AM–2:30 PM, 5–9:50 PM
Cost: $$
Maru Korean Restaurant is one of those spots that truly delivers an authentic Korean dining experience. The menu is packed with Korean classics, and I highly recommend trying the bulgogi or pork belly for the BBQ.
My favorite part was the banchan, the kimchi, pickled radishes, and seaweed salad, all fresh and flavorful. And for something traditional, their dolsot bibimbap (served in a hot stone bowl) is fantastic, and the Korean fried chicken is crispy perfection.
Pro tip: Parking near Maru can be a bit of a challenge since street parking on Elizabeth Street is limited. I’d recommend heading to the Myer Centre or King George Square parking, both just a short walk away. |

Daega Korean BBQ Cuisine is a gem for anyone craving Korean barbecue. What I loved about Daega is the exceptional quality and variety of BBQ meats, from perfectly marinated prime cuts of beef to tender pork belly, all ready for grilling.
Their marinated beef (galbi) are a must-try, and if you’re a fan of seafood, the prawns on the grill are equally delightful. Their menu also features classic Korean dishes like kimchi jjigae (spicy stew) and bibimbap, all served with banchan (side dishes).
Pro tips: They also offer delivery through UberEats and DoorDash if you’re in the mood for Korean BBQ at home. There’s nearby parking at McWhirters Car Park, about a five-minute walk away from the restaurant. |
