About Toodouri

Real charcoal embers, zero grill duty. Toodouri delivers tabletop barbecue without the chore—staff handle the tongs, turning thick cuts of pork belly and charring soy-marinated chicken over genuine coals. Tables stay stocked with endless banchan refills, from sharp, tangy house kimchi to soy-marinated bean curd. Crispy seafood pancakes, cold noodles, and bubbling bulgogi stews easily anchor group dinners, with regular grill-pan swaps keeping every round fresh. Cash payments score a 5% discount at the counter.

  • Full Table-Side Grilling: Staff manage table-side charcoal cooking directly and swap grill plates between meats.
  • Charcoal-Fired Embers: Meats cook over authentic tabletop charcoal embers rather than gas or electric plates.
  • Endless Banchan: Refillable side dishes include tangy house kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, and mac & cheese.
  • Group Sharing Sets: Large combo platters easily feed groups alongside bubbling stews, crisp pancakes, and soju.

Why Diners Choose Toodouri

Experience genuine charcoal flavors, attentive table-side grilling, and generous Korean feasts.

  • Attentive Full-Service Table Grilling

    Floor staff actively monitor each table, cooking meats to ideal doneness and switching grill plates between cuts so diners don't have to lift a finger.

    The staff helps grill the meat. Their technique and heat control are very good, and their service attitude is attentive and detail-oriented.

  • Authentic Tabletop Charcoal Heat

    Meats are seared over genuine hot charcoal embers rather than electric or gas plates, imparting deep smoky flavor and crisp caramelization.

    Their grills are charcoal, not gas or electric! The pork belly is always so juicy, the kimchi pancake is no joke and their cold noodles are the best I have had.

  • Cared-For and Pampered Hospitality

    Attentive hospitality and proactive dish and banchan refills leave diners feeling exceptionally well looked after from start to finish.

    I have never had such attentive service before in ANY kbbq, where they top up your banchan, check your garlic and chilli levels relative to meat, and change the grill pan when it starts to look burnt and bring you a side meat holder!

  • Satisfyingly Hearty Feasts

    Generous portions of meats alongside free-flowing side dishes guarantee everyone leaves completely stuffed and thoroughly contented.

    The staff were amazing, attentive kind, warm and they really took care of us. The place is small and cozy (must book), something in all price ranges, and spicy levels to suit all in this Korean kitchen. Left with full stomachs of adults and growing boys.

  • Seamless Feasts for Groups

    Generously sized sharing sets with varied meats, stews, pancakes, and sides make group dinners seamless and economical.

    It was plenty for all of us with two bowls of rice to share. The servings are quite large. The meat was quite tender, I recommend the rib meat for flavour and tenderness.

  • Lively Gatherings & Drinks

    A welcoming, street-style atmosphere with soju and crispy pancakes makes it a favorite hub for lively gatherings with friends.

    It’s not a big space, but it’s well ventilated and can handle groups of up to 8. Food’s delish and the kimchi top up is free. They also have a great selection of soju, so it’s great for drinking parties

  • Soy sauce-marinated chicken

    Beef steak and pork belly – but the favorite is the soy sauce-marinated chicken. The texture and taste are excellent, elevated even further by the charcoal-grilled flavor and the accompanying sauce.
