Brand Story

In Korea, barbecue is never just a meal – it is a celebration of fire, flavor and togetherness. The smoke curling off the grill, the sizzle of marbled beef, the clink of glasses raised in laughter – this is the essence of authentic Korean cuisine that 789 Korean BBQ brings to Australia. We are proud to be the first Korean BBQ brand in Australia to introduce premium Wagyu Korean BBQ. At 789, only the finest Australian Wagyu is chosen. With just a touch of sea salt, the beef reveals its natural depth – buttery richness, delicate tenderness, and a finish that lingers. Alongside, a colorful spread of Korean side dishes elevates each bite, creating layers of freshness, spice and umami. Honoring tradition, we also preserve the heritage of Korean sauces and marinades. Our recipes, refined over more than a decade, represent both craft and culture. From soy-marinated inside skirt to house-special short rib, every cut tells a story of patience and mastery – the true hallmark of premium Korean BBQ.

Beyond the grill, our menu celebrates the diversity of authentic Korean cuisine: comforting Army Stew (Budae Jjigae), nourishing Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup), crispy Haemul Pajeon, and the ever-popular Korean fried chicken with tap beer. Guests can also enjoy a wide selection of Korean beverages, from ice-cold beer to the clean, vibrant notes of soju. 789 Korean BBQ is youthful and stylish, yet deeply respectful of Korean culinary tradition. With popular venues in both Melbourne and Sydney, we have become a must-visit destination for those seeking the finest Melbourne Korean BBQ and Sydney Korean BBQ experiences. Fire it up with 789 K-BBQ – where Australia discovers the authentic taste of Korea.

    "Fire up the grill and get cooking your meat, whether that’s fatty and juicy pork belly, soy-marinated Wagyu short rib, or thinly sliced beef tongue. They are experts in firing up the grill."

    "The Best Korean BBQ Restaurant In Sydney. The list of +8 marble score Wagyu options is certainly impressive. Pair some short rib with a chilled spicy noodle soup and a Korean beer for a knock-out meal."
