Overview
How much Korean BBQ can you devour in 90 minutes, plus hotpot dishes, other hot and cold bites, salads and desserts as well? Visit Sunnybank's latest addition and you'll find out. Queensland's largest Korean BBQ and hotpot venue has opened its doors at Market Square, serving up buffets seven days a week. Here, you'll get cooking, scooping, slurping and feasting.
Summer always sizzles in Brisbane, as do most other seasons, but the temperature is no longer the only reason on trips to the city's south. As first announced earlier in December, Seoul Garden started firing up its grills on Wednesday, December 11 on Market Square's second floor, taking over the entire level — or, to be more accurate, customers at the first Sunshine venue from the Victorian-born chain are doing the searing.
This is a big addition to the River City in a range of ways. The 300-person-capacity restaurant sprawls across 800 square metres, which is why the brand advises that it's the Sunshine State's biggest Korean BBQ and hotpot venue. It is also dishing up more than 50 hotpot choices, with 30-plus meat options, as part of its the all-you-can-eat experience.
Amid neon lights that take inspiration from the eatery's namesake, customers sit at tables with grills, pairing their chosen ingredients with house-made sauces and side dishes. Or, opt for the hotpot buffet or dedicated raw bar — or make a date with all three. Either way, no one should be leaving feeling hungry.
This stomach-filling meal will set patrons back $49.90 per person, unless you're taking advantage of the launch lunch buffet special for $19.90. Go with the latter and you'll tuck into the hot food buffet, plus gimbap, salads and sides — so, no BBQ.
In Victoria, where the chain operates in Docklands, Highpoint, Northland and Glen Waverley Century City, Seoul Garden's setup has unsurprisingly proven popular — but its move to Brisbane is its first venture out of the state that it has always called home until now.
"We're so excited to bring Seoul Garden to Queensland, and share the authentic flavours and social dining experience that have made our Victorian venues such a success," said co-founder David Loh.
Find Seoul Garden at Market Square Sunnybank, 341 Mains Road, Sunnybank — open 12–3pm Monday–Friday and 11.30am–5pm Saturday–Sunday for lunch, plus 5–9.30pm daily for dinner. Head to the chain's website for further details.
