I used to go to this restaurant quite often before covid, I liked how there are a lot of banchans (side dishes) given to us with food ordered, and the food was pretty good too. But when I went today on a Friday night, the serving was so small and doesnt taste authentic at all. The spicy rice cake was not spicy, it didnt taste like any rice cakes Ive had before, the sauce was too sweet. The stir fried squid and pork was terrible, the sauce tasted like instant noodles soup packet, the pork pieces were tiny, and some of the squid pieces were very soft, to the point its a bit mushy. The side dishes werent terrific either, the kimchi is one of the worst Ive had in Sydney. The fried chicken wing was okay. The service was not good also, three staff ignored me when I was standing next to the cash register asking to pay for my bill. The lady who worked there even pushed me, as if I was in the way, they could ask the customers who are waiting to get in to not stand near the exit. I was very disappointed, dont think I will come back again.

Great Korean BBQ spot. Seafood pancake is amazing and great quality of meats too. They serves loads of Korean appetizers dish..Highly Recommended

Sumptuous Korean fare with fast service and really crispy fried chicken wings

Excellent. Great service, great food and a good price. Will definitely go back!

Dine inOne of the best Korean Reataurants in Sydney! Always have the most sides and quality sides as well. Great variety of options to choose from. Staff and service is amazing too, makes it feel like eating with family.TakeawayMy fav Korean restaurant in Chatswood, even in lockdown I had to grab some takeaway.The best thing about this place is they always provide lots of sides (even for takeaway)!I ordered the seafood pancake as shown in the pic.The pork bone soup is a go to dish here and will definitely go again when we’re out of lockdown.

The soundtrack to our Myeong Dong Korean Restaurant meal was a cacophony of drunken voices, each shrieking over the other to be heard in the deafening space. It’s quite an assault on the senses, and saw me struggling to hear our very patient waiter. We revert to pointing and nodding, and then try to acclimatise by necking shots of Chum Churum soju ($15) with bowls of Kook Soon Dang makgeolli ($15) as chasers.We’d come for banchan—I’d heard this North Strathfield restaurant delivered the biggest range of side dishes—and we were not disappointed. A full tray arrives bearing twelve different sides, ranging from old favourites like kimchi, stir fried glass noodles (japchae) and stir fried fish cake, to the less often found fried tofu, spicy braised potato, and slippery mung bean starch (nokdu-muk). While it would be easy to just gorge on this virtual feast of (mostly) vegan vegetable dishes, you are required to order one dish per person.Crispy K.F.C. ($22/small) comes as a small mound of sticky red chicken wings, that eat sweet but have a good bit of kick on the back palate. Cheese-topped fire chicken ($38) isn’t as generous (or as good) as my benchmark version at Danjee, but it keeps the endorphins moving and prompts me to order more makgeolli to soothe the burn. There was little heat relief in a more-generous pot of boiled down spicy beef ribs with rice cakes ($62). The tteokbokki were perfectly cooked and complemented with glass noodles, wood ear fungus, crunchy green capsicum and tender, well-rendered beef rib under a dusting of sesame seeds. Oversized containers ($2) take the sting out of the spend because you can take home a proper lunch to take to work the next day.

A good variety of side dishes which are delicious to start with. Mains were served quick and hot. One of the best places Ive had stone pot bibimbap in Sydney. Would definitely be back for more and trying the bbq too.

That Korean grandpa was very friendly and nice. Though they were quite busy, rang the bell and never came, but I found this place quite cosy and comfortable. Almost everything we ordered were yum, except the chicken feet. Wish the chicken feet could be more chewy next time. I like the flavour, just the texture was not my favourite.

Great selection of banchan. Very good KFC and tofu stew. Decent seafood pancake. Prompt service.

The only place with a plethora of banchan (side dishes). So delicious! Noodles were awesome too.

One of the best Korean BBQ Ive tried on the shore. Tasty fresh meats and salads and one of the best selections in banchan (complimentary side dishes) in the game. The meat cuts are are high quality and they use good marinades. Reasonably priced as well!

Pretty damn good. Service was fine, not serving alcohol for some reason but have their byo license.Spread not bad, decently priced, but they didnt have the vegetable option we chose from the menu.Nice outside location.

Great Korean place conveniently located! The side dishes are very generous and delicious! Tried the fried chicken, spicy pan-fried pork and kimchi pancake, all were excellent. For BBQ you must be seated outside so be aware there might be a wait if theyre busy. Typical Korean place where theres for service which is always preferable to putting your hand up, but in any case, service was very good, easygoing but helpful.

One of my favourite korean restaurants in chatswood, they serve you a lot of traditional side dishes for free and their BBQ quality is always to make customers feel great.However, the staffs are not friendly as the owner at the restaurant due to too many customers especially during weekend, from Friday night to Sunday.

This place used to be good but tonight was just horrible. Pork knee soup was tasteless and it was so chewy (not cooked properly) we can’t eat it. Also did BBQ and the beef rib tasted funny. Soy fried chicken has too much sauces too. Only dish that tasted borderline okay was the spicy pork rib soup but even that is full of MSG. Definitely not going back after today. A bit missed and big disappointed with dinner.

This is a traditional restaurant. Most staff is korean and they are NOT good at english. It is taste good but the experience of ordering and picking up food is awful.

Good food, lots of complimentary side dishes which all taste great. Unfortunately they do not take bookings. When I went you had to put down your name for BBQ area or regular food. On a Saturday night I waited about 1 hour, if youre lucky there may be no wait. BBQ meat is standard quality for Korean BBQ and the price you pay. The BBQ is with charcoal coals. I would come back again!

Wow!! The food is to die for. The beef ribs with rice cakes are too good!! Great service, nice vibe. Definitely coming back :)

Not bad but better procedures and organisation would be good. Felt a little disorganised. Lovely staff but took forever to get menus and basic items to our table.Lacked more variety of leaves to wrap meats in. And dipping sauces need work.

Feels like U r in Korea. Great dishes and generous sides! Local favourite

Lunch today was accompanied by 12 side dishes, all very generously portioned! If you love Korean banchan aka side dishes this is the place! Bossam was served with lots of different leaves including lettuce, pickled cabbage, pickled sesame leaves. Will come back!

Very delicious Korean fare especially the Seafood pancake (Pajeon) and Spicy seafood soup. Almost 10 side dishes given - very fresh and tasty. Good value for money about AUD18 for soup and pancake.

Great KBBQ place.Outdoor undercover seating for coal fire kbbq, or indoor or other foods.Had the family Wagyu and cold noodles for 5 of us and was perfect.

Terrible service, the grill was very poor. We ordered boneless ribs and bulgogui. Bulgogui was okay, but the boneless ribs were tough. New staff was lighting the bbq unsafely. He would turn on the gas first which resulted in a large fireball. Not coming back again.

Lovely staff all very friendly. A little pricey for the BBQ but we loved the variety of banchan. Would definitely come back for the hotpot dishes!

Used to frequent this place in person pre-corona and loved it. Drove 30 mins to pick up takeaway food and was enormously disappointed to get gamjatang that tasted like instant noodle soup like they used ramen seasoning instead of proper broth. The original fried chicken also tasted like it was cooked earlier in the week and they reheated by re-frying it in the oil. Plenty of better quality restaurants to support in these times.

Complimentary dishes before dinner. This start says all.

The best KBBQ Ive ever been to! For the amount of food you get, the prices are very good. We got one of the most expensive platters on the menu and received heaps of sides with great variation, fresh flavour and little table room to spare (to our amazement). I would definitely recommend going here if you want a good KBBQ with lots for little. Wonderful!

How feeling like Korea in Sydney !!! Every dish were fresh and tasty! I was so happy and I can’t help stop eating Haha

If you want quick Korean dishes this is the place to go for but quality of food can be ups and downs.

Great side dishes of 12! Good food and generous portion. One of the best Korean restaurants Ive been. Went back there twice in a week last week.

I had heard the Chstswood branch was even better than North Strathfield , so I was keen to go.Bad, bad idea.There were two waiters to serve the entire restaurant, and both were completely overwhelmed.I had to ask for tongs and scissors twice, my companions the same for their drinks. After the meat for barbecue came out (before the sides and the entrée) I had to ask the waiter to bring the grill grate and light the burner.The kitchen was completely chaotic. After an hour we had still not been given our two bowls of rice: at that point we just gave up and cancelled them.I told the waiter that he needed to get a job at a better-run restaurant because he didnt deserve to bear the brunt of the managements ineptitude. With a look of immense relief, he told us he had found a new job and would start it in a couple of days. Good luck to him.Meanwhile, his poor colleague was at the next table taking a complaint from the customers (their food had taken so long to come out, and had come out after tables who had ordered later; two of the party could no longer endure it, and left in disgust; the food was too salty, and lots of other stuff I couldnt hear). By the time I fled, he was still there listening to the complaints. I hope he, too, can find a better job elsewhere.We had sat outside, and the outside area had no extractor fans. Thus the experience was more fumigation than delectation.If you are insane enough to try this place having read the above, do not order barbecue, or sit near others who have done so.Im not even sure how this set-up is legal.Anyway, you get the gist of this review; if you go there you have to be utterly mental.Head to North Strathfield instead.

Not bad. They were running low on stuff but were all stressed due to covid. Its a BYO place, so dont forget. Bar right next door you can wait in a there was no bookings taken. I enjoyed all the food though!

Ordered kimchi pncake taste so much different like before sour and unpleasant , i threw away after few bites , this food is staledissapointed and there was staff tall guy ignored me when i was exactly standing infront of cashier , what a nice service when you charges 10% for public holiday with poor service !

Food was not really good. The restaurant was so unorganised. Staff were rudeAnd the guy threw the plates on our table without a word. Haha. Don’t expect that they’ll have any customer service.

It was terrible food.Its the worst so far, Ill never go again

The restaurant was so unorganised. Staff were rude and kept ignoring us, didn’t took our order even it’s not busy.My friend hasn’t arrived, and they told me I could not pre-order one dish first—as two ppl= at least two dishes. Why you couldn’t just take it as we’ll surely order more later on?And the guy threw the plates on our table without a word. Haha. Don’t expect that they’ll have any customer service.

Generous side dishes

Sad side dishes compared with north Strathfield one, it came out like leftovers from other table, wait long time for food to come out, the spicy pork bone soup is ok, but won’t come back here definitely north Strathfield one is better quality

If you order 1 main food, get 10 free side foods. Real Korean style !! Recommend !!

When this dish was first served, we found that there was no rice cake in it. Another friend says, We ordered less spicy but its too spicy. Then the waiter takes it to the kitchen. The second time we went to the table, we found that there was no rice cake in it, and the dish almost turned into soup. The second time we spoke to the waiter, they took it back. The third time the dish was served, it was the same as before, only with extra rice cakes. By this time the taste of the dish had turned quite disgusting. It smells bad, and the waiter said he gave me water to make it less spicy. And they didnt say that the rice cakes had been served for the first time. But the first time we had no rice cake in it at all. Its the chefs problem, and we have to bear it? I dont understand why you cant make a new dish for the customer when youve made a mistake. The experience was terrible, the service was terrible, I will never come here again!

Poor customer service/ poor hygiene: my colleagues and I had Korean BBQ and hotpot yesterday. We found few pieces of hair under the lettuce. I immediately informed the waiter/waitress. They just looked at it and took the tray away. They gave us a new lettuce but there was no compensation.We also ordered seafood pancake, which was not that crispy. As a Korean, the food was disappointing.

We ordered take away food but they accidentally forgot to include a part of our order, however the restaurant displayed very good customer service by delivering the missing items within 10 minutes. Very happy with the customer service, not to mention that the food was amazing and hot! Would Highly recommend to anyone wanting a good korean food experience 😊😊

Pan Fried Spock pork is good !

Best Korean in chatswood and very friendly staff and owner. Best part...So many side dishes that come with your meal. More generous than other Korean restaurants

Amazing friendly service, lots of tasty side dishes, meat was good too for very reasonable price. Soju selection was a bit small though

Very friendly service,Great variety banchan and very fresh!Seafood pancake was great and taste awesome with the spicy rice cake.

Food was perfect, but service was not very responsive even with the call button on the table. There is no kids menu and when we asked for a side of noodles or fried rice (available on the menu as an add-on to other meals) we were told they cant do that. Would have been willing to pay whatever for happy kids, but not allowed. Our bill was incorrect as they charged 2 glasses of wine as 2 Bottles of wine. Overall they can fix these things and I hope they do as the food was definitely worth going back for.

Great quality BBQ meats, good variety of other korean main meals, and the best range of complimentary side dishes. Service though can be a bit slow but due to being a very bustling restaurant that is always packed with patrons in the evenings.

I will never be returning. Unfortunately half of my Sunday was a write off because of this place.Had a stomach bug after eating here on Sunday. It had to be this place as it was where I had the only meal of the day - couldnt have anything afterwards anyway and only now able to write this up.I am Korean and I have been a fan of the original Jongajip (Eastwood) - Kangnam (Hornsby) - Myeong Dong (Chatswood/Strathfield) as each one of these restaurants were setup and run by the same owner when they first started out. These places tend to go down hill (havent been to Strathfield recently so I cant comment) once the owners change and today I got confirmation that the Chatswood restaurant changed hands.People, dont get duped by the number of side dishes. They might be tasty, but youre paying for them dearly and theyre not of quality. Since I had a a fully cooked meal, I do not believe I got the bug from the main, which leaves the side dishes... My wife was fine, but I also know she didnt touch a number of the side dishes. I cant pin point which one it was, but I can almost say for certain it was one of them.Were usually quite careful and I must admit this was probably the first time Ive been violently ill like this since a trip to Fantasea, Phuket back in 2007.

Plenty side dishes. Quality food! Definitely going back👍👍

Best Korean Restaurant in Chatswood. Very generous side dishes, about 12 varieties and love the pork bone soup.

It was a rainy night when we went and the place looked full with a queue. We managed to get a table within minutes. Loved the marinated pork neck, but wagyu sirloin wasnt up to our expectation. However- They were very generous with banchan- check out the photo-12 side dishes, so i guess that made up for it ( since im not a huge meat lover ) service was good- theres a service button on each rable, and they proactively replaced the grill. Give it a go

Good food but table is quite greasy

A vast majority of scrumptious Korean side dishes, BBQ sets and soups. The customer service is fast and efficient. The area is clean and practical as the BBQ area is outside which provides a more fresher environment. Is it convinent to access as it is just next to the bustling Chatswood station. Wonderful.

Really good Korean restaurant for kbbq. The staff are nice and friendly and they also serve a lot of side dishes with your meal. The meats were fresh and very tasty and the other dishes were just as amazing. The atmosphere is very lively and well suited for a party or gathering of sorts. Price wise it is certainly on the more expensive side but you make up for it with the side dishes. There is no immediate parking but there are some great parking spots in Chatswood. There are also toilets as well.

My favorite go to place for korean bbq. Love the side dishes. Will have longer waiting time during the weekends!

It was an awesome food experience with quality food

Been here few times , food was great, they were charging more than others with bigger portions but recently their side dishes and quality of food was inconsistent.. paying more is no problem but why bring quality and quantity down.. they were 5 stars before and now 2 stars and that goes for service which was good..

My favourite place to eat in Sydney right now. Utterly delicious and affordable. Simply superb. Fantastic value. Exceptional quality. Delightfully well mannered and helpful staff. Unless you are observing kosher or halal or a vegan eat these fine folks food.

Tasty korean restaurant with so many side dishes. Love the fish roe soup and beef soup. 😁

Don’t like the seafood pancakeSoup is ok

Great value. Attentive service. Food is great, with generous sides and good sized servings. Wish there was better exhaust options for the charcoal/gas started cooking.

Soooo many side dishes. Beef Tendon soup was so authentic and natural. Feel good food.

Great food and great service! The portions are extremely generous and the quality of the meat is fantastic.

12 side dishes and open late. Cannot complain! :)

Great value and fast service, they are offering a lots of free side dishes too :)

I love coming to Myeong Dong for their delicious bbq esp the wagyu and the rib. I brought my overseas guests over, and they felt really satisfied. Always impressed with their gazillion side dishes, which we always enjoy with our meal. Staff were always nice and helped us top up side dishes/change plates. About $40 per head.

Not to order bone soup. Undercooked and too salty. Quality isnt there for pork soup. I am still not sure what i actually had as it was too far off from standard.Never to revisit.

The side dishes are amazingly enormous and refillable! Meat quality is quite good with nice ratio of lean and fat but not quite massive if that’s what you’re after. Overall recommended and I’ll visit again for sure.

Service was pretty good, meat was excellent in the Korean BBQ set (even if you have to do the hard work yourself).Atmosphere was nothing exciting but not mush as can be done when your in a food strip the way this restaurant is.

The worst Korean BBQ Experience. Some of the dishes are absolutely over cooked, and it takes bitter. And when we asked the waiter, they attitude are very bad. I will never go here again.

Great K-BBQ. Food quality was great and price was decent. It gets full at busy hours so arrive early to avoid long wait time.

This place is great and has the best selection of Korean sides Ive seen anywhere in Sydney. I tried the soon-dubo tofu stew and it was delicious. Prompt no fuss casual service and the food came out of the kitchen very quickly. Ill be back to try some of the other dishes.

The quality of the food is really good and you get so many sides!Not only that, I recommend this place over a lot of the other KBBQ places in the city (Been eating at different places for 4 years), because their customer service is the best I’ve seen. They’re willing to refill our side dishes and accomodate us if we need something.Not sure if it’s because we came at 8 for dinner when it’s less busy.

Used to love coming to this place pre covid-19 situation for their generous sides and tasty dishes. Been here three times now since it’s been take away only - first time was great (gave a takeaway plate of sides varieties for each main ordered, mains were hot and tasty), second time was not great (only one sides varieties plate for 4 mains ordered and fried dishes were all soggy and warm despite us only eating it within minutes of receiving). We thought they may have had a bad day so gave it another go tonight. We ordered direct from them and requested extra kimchi (as we ordered numerous mains to be shared between 4 people). A tiny small container of extra kimchi was given begrudgingly and the young waitress told me that they usually don’t do this. This caught me by surprise as if we eat in, they would happily refill the sides plates when we request it. However during these times where it’s takeaway only, it doesn’t matter how many mains you order they only give you one plate of sides even if you request extra sides as I did since we would be sharing between 4 sides loving people? For me this almost defeats the purpose of ordering from Myeong Dong as the main reason we used to frequent there over the other Korean restaurants is for their generous sides. We also ordered fried chicken today and I asked for the sauce to be put on the side as I didn’t want it to go soggy on the way home - they only filled up the container perhaps 1/3rd way so when we tried coating the chicken when we got home, only half the portion was coated before we ran out of sauce. There’s plenty of local restaurants to support and unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be returning until we can eat in again as their takeaway has been a bit too hit and miss for us.

It was… okay. I was told the north strathfield one was very popular. The chatswood shop wasnt in a good location in terms of parking. The food is good but no surprise factor. Will go back again but hard to say its 5 star at this stage.

This is ok Kbbq in Chatswood - stay away from the watery soups though not good.. if u r travelling far for korean Eastwood or Lidcombe is a better option

Love this place, my go to Korean restaurant in Chatswood. Very generous with side dishes and good vegetarian options. Very close to the station as well.

This is my fave Korean restaurant in Sydney! I used to go all the way to South Strathfield to their original restaurant. Then they opened this one so close to me and added even more side dishes! Love it!

No vegies available to roast

Lovely food and crew!

I had a nice dinner yesterday until I went to the counter to pay.I failed twice to put the credit card on the right spot on EFTOS machine, and this cashier suddenly slap my hand then hold my hand and place it over the machine.I wonder if this is part of the service.

Overall was good, but the chicken feet tasted bitter and looked overcooked (had black spots on).

Love all the side dishes they always provide with your meal. Great selection of food at very reasonable prices.

One of my Korean colleagues told me her mom loves to come and eat in here. I tried with my girlfriend and personally we reckon weve made the right decision by following her moms taste buds.

My familys go-to restaurant everytime we dine at Chatswood. Great tasting food with extremely good service. Highly recommend

Good food.. the side dishes deserve a 5 star rating. Not many places would give that amount using quality ingredients.Although slightly pricy is a downside

When I ordered Pork and Kim chi with rice, I was very pleased to be surprised with 12 complimentary side dishes to go. All for only $16.00 (see photo). Will definitely go back and also tell everyone.

A new popular Korean bbq restaurant located just underneath Crunch gym. Not sure if it meant to be a test to resist temptation post gym session. They offer 12 side dishes when you order a main.

Food is really good and lots of choice. Place is also very convenient to get to.

Quick service. Good customer service. Remember: there is a button on the table to call a waiter.

Great place for Korean Bbq, with an amazing range of refillable side dishes. Does get very busy, so they wouldnt take bookings for anything later than 6pm on a Mon night and usually no bookings for Bbq.

AMAZING FOOD! Very generous with the side dishes too. Will come back!

Really poor and rude service, waiter was really unhygienic and nothing was done to resolve the problem

Love the raw seasoned crab, it is free side dish when you ordered their food, very busy during dinner time but their wagyu beef is to die for

Quite good, so many side dishes that I lost count! The BBQ is very good as well and they proactive replace our hot plate 3 times during the peak hour busy service which is quite outstanding.

Was told to wait for 20mins, waited 1 hour!! There are so many empty available tables, but they make us wait for no apparent reason! Absolutely a joke!!Rude customer service like I owe them millions of dollars!

Delicious food and side dishes

미친상차림 Authentic Korean food with variety of side dishes. Love spicy pork bone soup the most.
