About Korean BBQ & Pocha - Yuk Gam

Tucked into Melbourne CBD's K-town laneway, Yuk Gam pairs generous tabletop barbecue with late-night pocha tavern dishes. Diners man the tongs here—searing freshly sliced wagyu, hangjeongsal, and marinated meats at their own rhythm. Attentive staff keep the banchan and house kimchi topped up across the table. For bigger crews, combo sets pair grill spreads with plates of crispy fried chicken and seafood stews. The fragrant bone broth hot pot laced with fresh perilla leaf is pure comfort.

  • DIY Tabletop Barbecue: Sizzle freshly sliced beef and pork cuts over tabletop grills at your own pace.
  • BBQ & Pocha Combinations: Combo sets bring together sizzling meats with stews, street-style sides, and fried chicken.
  • Refillable Banchan: Enjoy prompt, table-serviced replenishments of house kimchi and seasoned side dishes.

  • Memorable Celebration Hospitality

    Welcoming team members actively elevate special group celebrations with celebratory music, lighting, and hospitality.

    The owner/manager was lovely and took a birthday cake that I had brought for my daughter, bringing it out at the end of our meal with lights, music and candles all set up.

  • Self-Paced Hands-On Tabletop Grilling

    Tabletop grills give parties full control to cook their meats and greens at an unhurried, comfortable rhythm.

    we loved being able to cook the meat ourselves at our own pace.

Before you head over

Helpful advice for planning your meal and tabletop grilling at Yuk Gam

  • Book Ahead or Arrive Early

    Tables fill rapidly by 5:30 PM and weekend dinner seatings can see busy crowds and wait times, so booking ahead or aiming for an early or off-peak slot ensures smooth seating.

  • Manage Tabletop Grilling

    Grilling is customer-led at the tabletop rather than staff-managed, allowing your party to prepare cuts at your own desired pace.

  • Pair BBQ with Pocha Sets

    Combination packages pairing barbecue platters with pocha tavern stews or dishes come generously sized, making them ideal to split across groups.
