jang ta bal korean charcoal bbq

i seriously love this place. been here 3 times now and it never fails to disappoint. the meats are pretty pricey but be prepared to be indulged with high quality meat that tastes amazing, (my favourite is the marbled beef). side dishes are reasonable and the staff are very helpful. get ready to line up, thisplaceis always busy, so it's best to book a table when you have a large group of people. only one disappointing thing about thisplaceis its kim chi, it wasn't that chilli and flavoursome.

when i first walked in, they seated me at a table that was already set up with the side dishes and a warm charcoal centre (which was all the more pleasant on a cold winter day) - that was well done and impressive but i wasn’t overly pleased with the spicy chicken dish i ordered. there was barely any chicken in it, it was mostly onion! the mixed beef plate was ok but i’d probably pick my own meats next time.
although the food and service was decent, i still found thisplaceoverpriced.

been wanting to try out thisplacefor the longest time because of all the positive reviews and heard so many good things about it, so i’m happy i finally got to visit!

first time we came, we arrived at 6pm and there was a 1-2hr wait due to peak dinner time. so we decided to have an early dinner at 4:30pm to avoid the crowd. it was pretty empty inside which was great as it wasn’t too noisy.

we ordered the wagyu set, pork belly, seafood pancake and cold noodles. the meat quality was amazing, it was so tender and melted in our mouths! the seafood pancake was also super crispy, and the cold noodles with the freshly cooked meat made the perfect combo. also loved the side dishes that came with everything – especially the mashed potato.

the staff were attentive and served our food promptly after ordering. there was also a spray outside the restaurant when you walk out so you won’t smell like bbq. would definitely come back again!

visited 16nov19:
the whole area near thisplaceis all korean cuisine. this restaurant is one of most popularplacefor authentic kerean dishes.
very crowded and pretty noisy at 11pm.

soon whole table were full of dishes and staff were attentive.
complimentary awesome egg soup came with kimchi too😀
all meat was fresh marinated and tasty.
korean plum wine was very strong and a little sweetness compared to japanese one.

surely we all enjoyed the food and atmosphere.
difinitely dine in again when we visit sydney.

one of the best korean bbq experiences i have had in strathfield. from the moment you walk in you are set for an experience. there are various seating arrangements, and i had the pleasure of sitting on the floor seating which was cozey and comfortable. it really felt homely and comfortable.

the dishes although a bit on the pricey side are well worth it. you are greeted with a large variety of side dishes which are a plus at any korean restaurant. there are various meats to choose from and the portions are quite large. every piece of meat had exceptional quality. the staff were very attentive and assisted with cooking the meat when needed without being asked.

there is lots of traditional korean alcohol such as plum wine and soju to enjoy. this is truly a greatplaceto go with a group of friends if you’re looking to leave happy. the experience was out of this world and is the stand out restaurant amongst the various korean bbq restaurants in strathfield.

thisplacecan have long lines on the weekend for good reason so it could be useful to book if you're going during peak time. it would have to be one of my favourite restaurants when i'm craving korean bbq - all of the meat provided is excellent quality. i particularly recommend the wagyu beef bulgogi and beef brisket. usually, i tend to share amongst 2-3 people one of the meat sets that has a combination of pork and beef. make sure to ask for extra red pepper sauce; it's delicious with the meat. if you're lucky, you will get crab as one of the free sides, something which most korean bbq restaurants don't offer. it's also good to see that they've expanded their selection of pre-cooked dishes - the japchae is great. you also have the option for traditional korean seating on the floor, and it's nice having the option to sit near the back of the restaurant now that smoking isn't allowed there.

my go to bbq in strathfield, food is delicious and service is usually pretty good. is a bit pricey but if you're after good korean bbq this is theplaceto go!

one of the best kbbq places in strathfield ! my friend introduced thisplaceto me and i fell in love. their prices are decent. i ordered a beef set and chicken. the side dishes can be refilled and the staff are very nice and polite. it was an amazing experience and would come again !

the bestplaceto get lit 🔥 food is always good, only downside is waiting for a seat. which is proof this is the go-toplacefor kbbq in stra

best kbbqplaceon the planet! eaten there about 50+ times and quality is phenomenal. worth what you pay for, as we always order the beef set, egg soup, two rice and occasionally pork belly. side dishes are amazing too. (this is for 2 people ;)

frienly and helpful staff. food was really nice. we ordered the beef set and the kim chi hot pot with pork and tofu. loved the beef set. only one minus is theplacecan get really hot and smoky due to poor ventilation system

thisplacedeserves a 10 out of 5! definitely worthwhile the 2 hours waiting. we had the wagyu set and it was out of the world!! friendly staff with prompt service. but still need to expect a long queue!

the meat here....my god the wagyu will blow your goddamn mind. however the portions are rather small and rather pricey, the quality is exceptional
staff are decent and rather attentive (or as much as they can be because theplaceis always super busy) and offer infinite refills on your side dishes!! you'll probably have to line up if you come between 5-8pm but overall pretty good

due to how busy theplacewas, it was a 30min wait for a table to open up. ordered the mixed bbq set, plus a serving of beef tongue. the meat quality was above average, nothing special - its pretty pricey for what you get.

am i missing something here? i dont understand why thisplaceis so popular. there are cheaper and better places for korean bbq.

service: on father day lunch it was quite bad. people were queing at the cold windy door and the waitress cam to gather numbers but she never returned to walk people to their tables! the front guy was grumpy and was shouting i was first but thisplaceis just walk in and seat yourself. inattentive, you need to wave your hand like a mexican wave. staff all just arrived from korean and have limited english 2/5

food: consistently good tasty korean food. good side dishes , kfc chicken seafood pankcake and bone broth soups 3.5/5

value: about $80 for four people is bang for buck, u walk out satisfied and warm belly 3.5/5

vibe: buzzy and packed, u can talk loud eat loud. not for quiet romantic dates. great for groups 3/5
