Mook Ji Bar

On Lonsdale Street in the Melbourne CBD, Mook Ji Bar pairs generous Korean comfort cooking with an upbeat, poster-lined room. Soundtracks cycle between K-pop and English pop while the kitchen turns out classic anju built for sharing. Regulars lean toward the soy garlic fried chicken—cut into bite-sized pieces with a crisp coating and tender meat underneath. The counterpoint comes from seasoned raw beef folded into sheets of seaweed, or skillet spicy pork blanketed under melted cheese. Deep menus cater to groups with everything from beef bulgogi and hotpots to fried tofu and traditional intestine dishes, all backed by swift table service.
