Yeonga Korean BBQ

About Yeonga Korean BBQ

Yeonga Korean BBQ on Cobden Street is a North Melbourne charcoal-grill institution in a hanok-inspired dining room — in Korean, yeonga means “smoke house”. Built-in table grills run on 100% genuine charcoal; the kitchen uses never-frozen fresh meat (beef brisket and ox tongue are lightly frozen only for slicing). Roughly 150 pleather booth seats, attentive staff who grill at the table, free parking out front and function catering make it a go-to for large groups near Queen Victoria Market. The Age Good Food Guide (13.5/20, Critics’ Pick, updated October 2025) praises buttery Australian wagyu, limitless banchan and fruity soju slushies by the jug; AGFG and Man of Many highlight the Wagyu combo set, brisket, ox tongue, seafood pancake and chilli pork belly. Weekend lunch Sat–Sun; dinner seven nights. Book via OpenTable for peak times; BYO wine accepted.
