About Misty Pot Korean Grill & Bar

Skip the noisy barbecue halls—this pocket-sized West Melbourne spot delivers restorative, homestyle Korean comfort built around simmering stone bowls. The kitchen turns out clear, deep broths that taste like a Seoul home kitchen, anchored by samgyetang—a tender whole chicken packed with glutinous rice and paired with a finishing shot of ginseng liquor. Regulars lean into the fall-apart galbitang and pork belly bossam served with crunchy, fresh kimchi. With roughly 25 seats and daytime Market Lane coffee pulled at the counter, tables fill quickly on chilly nights.

  • Restorative Soups: Simmers clear, restorative broths like whole-chicken samgyetang paired with ginseng liquor and tender beef short rib galbitang.
  • Homestyle Classics: Serves homestyle staples from pork belly bossam with fresh kimchi to hand-folded dumplings and crisp kimchi pancakes.
  • Cozy Cafe Format: An intimate ~25-seat dining room near North Melbourne station pairing Korean hot soups with Market Lane specialty coffee.

Why Choose Misty Pot Korean Grill & Bar

Why diners choose Misty Pot for comforting Korean soups and homestyle dining in West Melbourne

  • Piping-Hot Stone Bowl Broths

    Misty Pot simmers authentic Korean bone broths and winter noodles served piping hot in stone bowls to warm and revitalize diners on cold Melbourne days.

    The meat is so tender it just falls apart, and it’s served piping hot in a stone bowl, which makes it perfect for a winter meal.

  • Nourishing Samgyetang with Ginseng Shot

    The traditional whole-chicken ginseng soup (Samgye-tang) is prepared with glutinous rice and uniquely paired with a concluding ginseng liquor shot or tea.

    The Samgyetang was amazing with the chicken was stuffed with perfectly cooked glutinous rice and had a subtle hint of ginseng 😋 It even came with a choice of ginseng tea or liquor

  • Authentic Seoul Homestyle Flavors

    Diners savor authentic Korean home cooking, handmade cabbage kimchi, and seasonal specialties that faithfully replicate the street markets and dining culture of Seoul.

    And I loved their winter edition kimchi kalguksu which reminded me of the kalguksu from seoul Myeongdong and their mandu from the traditional markets in Seoul!

  • Cozy Cafe Format with Specialty Coffee

    Unlike high-turnover tabletop BBQ venues, Misty Pot operates an intimate 25-seat cafe setting serving individual hotpots alongside specialty Market Lane barista coffee.

    The cafe seems to serve homely Korean dishes, including rice and hot soup dishes. They also serve Market Lane coffee here too.

Hearty, slow-simmered Korean comfort soups and broths

  • Galbitang

    i had the galbitang (beef short rib soup) and dare i say, it is the best in Melbourne. You can taste korea and the love from the owners in every sip of soup you take. The meat is packed FULL of flavour and you just cant miss this shop.

  • Kimchi Kalguksu

    I’m in love with the kimchi kalguksu — it’s perfect for winter. The kimchi that comes with it is the best I’ve ever had: slightly sweet, not too sour, and full of flavour.

  • Seafood Tofu Soup

    The seafood tofu soup set hit that perfect comfort‑food level, rich broth with a good kick but not overpowering.

  • LA Galbi

    The LA galbi set was the star—tender, sweet‑savory, and grilled just right.

  • Kimchi Pancake

    The kimchi pancake came out crispy on the edges and properly tangy, the kind that tells you they actually ferment their kimchi.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful hospitality details and unexpected menu nuances that elevate the neighborhood dining experience.

  • Finishing Ginseng Shot or Tea

    Samgyetang orders are traditionally complemented with a restorative post-soup shot of ginseng liquor or house ginseng tea.

  • Barista Market Lane Coffee Service

    Rather than offering standard instant diner drinks, the bar operates a dedicated specialty espresso service pulling Market Lane coffee with careful latte art.

  • Attentive Recipe Adaptations

    The kitchen accommodates dietary restrictions on custom items, readily modifying festive dishes like holiday pancake specials for guests who do not eat beef.

  • Sizzling Stone Bowl Heat Retention

    Traditional hot soup mains like Galbitang are served bubbling in heavy Korean stone bowls to retain heat throughout chilly Melbourne meals.
