About JONGRO HWARO BBQ

Charcoal tabletop grilling meets one of the most generous spreads in Sydney, with over a dozen complimentary banchan arriving the moment you sit down. The dining room buzzes with energy as groups tackle marbled wagyu sets, tender marinated beef ribs, and bubbly volcano steamed eggs capped with cheese. Seasoned regulars know the drill: staff step in unprompted to switch hotplates and wire nets to suit each specific cut of meat. Pair the sizzling short rib with crispy seafood pancake and sweet corn cheese straight off the grill.

  • Expansive Banchan Spread: Tables start with over 12 varieties of banchan alongside free refills throughout the meal.
  • Authentic Charcoal Grills: Meats sizzle over glowing coals for that authentic smoky crust rather than standard gas heat.
  • Proactive Grate Swaps: Attentive floor staff proactively swap out wire nets and plates to match each cut of meat.

  • Generous Cooked Korean Specialties

    The barbecue cuts are accompanied by substantial Korean specialties including oversized volcano steamed egg, piping hot seafood pancake, and corn cheese.

    The seafood pancake was very fresh and came out piping hot. They also give many side dishes to go with the meat.

  • Seafood Pancake

    We also ordered the Seafood Pancake ($29) and you can ask them to make it extra crispy, which I highly recommend.
