About Donwoori Korean Restaurant

Right across from Queen Victoria Market, this family-run spot takes all the work out of charcoal barbecue. Regulars fill tables for beef and pork combos paired with bubbling corn cheese—while the floor crew handles the grilling right over the coals. The pacing stays brisk. Banchan bowls get replenished before you ever need to ask, alongside fresh kimchi and hot stew. Dinner winds down with an easy ritual: complimentary marshmallows to toast directly over the lingering embers.

  • Staff-Cooked Charcoal BBQ: Staff manage the grill at your table, cooking cuts like marinated pork and scotch fillet over genuine charcoal embers.
  • High-Value Sets: Generous combinations arrive loaded with multiple cuts of meat, rice, stew, and bubbling corn cheese at pocket-friendly rates.
  • Attentive Banchan Refills: Table staff proactively replenish side dishes throughout the meal, keeping crisp, housemade kimchi flowing without asking.
  • Embers Marshmallow Finish: Every dinner closes on an interactive note with complimentary marshmallows brought out to toast directly over the grill.
