About Sang by Mabasa

Surry Hills diners head to this compact Fitzroy Street room for inventive Korean cooking helmed by a veteran family team. Parents man the open kitchen line while the floor moves at a steady clip. The move is the Feed Me menu—a tasting sequence dominated by unlisted off-menu creations alongside standout staples like fish rice with beef short rib. Expect fermented depth across house banchan, spicy hand-torn sujebi, and LA galbi short ribs seared over high heat, paired with an in-house wine list or BYO bottles.

  • The 'Feed Me' Menu: An unlisted, multi-course chef's tasting menu that serves surprise dishes not found on the standard à la carte board.
  • Seoul Comfort Staples: Homestyle staples anchored by spicy hand-torn sujebi noodle soup, LA galbi short ribs, and fish rice.
  • Intimate Family Hospitality: An intimate dining room operating across set evening seatings, complete with a considered wine selection and BYO corkage.

  • Cozy Date Night Destination

    The intimate dining room and curated multi-course pacing make it an exceptional backdrop for romantic dates and special dining occasions.

    The cozy setting is great for a casual date, but if you are ordering the chef’s menu, make sure you have a completely empty stomach.

  • Dolsot bibimbap

    The dolsot bibimbap was the best I’ve tried in Sydney. The veggies are cut in right sizes and the burnt rice on the bottom was just perfect.
