Joomak

I got takeaway. Amazing selection of food. Fresh and hot till I got home, which was 40 min away. The soup was flavourful and the soondae was beautiful cooked. Big plus was that it opens till very late. Hard to find, since there isn't a lot of signage until to get inside the building. Then you have to walk downstairs, it's in a basement Thank you so much.

One of the best late-night Korean BBQ spots in Melbourne CBD! Open until 5 am on weekends — perfect for supper with friends. Love their juicy grilled beef ribs, chewy rice cakes, and spicy seafood stew. Don’t miss the homemade peach or strawberry makgeolli — truly unforgettable!

The signature seafood hot pot was amazing — rich, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The rice wine was also really unique and delicious! Joomak has always been one of my favourite Korean spots — it’s not just great food, but also full of memories from my student days.🎉

Joomak is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves great food and a lively atmosphere. The dishes are full of flavour, beautifully presented, and complemented by their wide selection of soju — from classic options to fruity infusions and premium blends. Each variety brings a different taste experience, perfect for pairing with their rich Korean flavours. The ambience is warm and stylish, making it an ideal place to unwind and enjoy good company over delicious food and drinks.

Absolutely loved the food here! Must-try dishes are the char-grilled beef rib fingers and the cheese teokbokki. Everything we ordered was delicious and full of flavour. Will be back soon!

Food, service and atmosphere is still the same nostalgic feeling since 9 years back. Will always come to this place for their cocktail rice wine. Food is great to pair with drinks and with bunch of friends together. Will still come back to this place for the food, drinks and memories.

Had a great dinner here with my wife and two kids. The side dishes were fresh and refillable — I got them three times! Everything we ordered was tasty, especially the seafood hot pot with shrimp, mussels, noodles, and a whole squid. We also tried their house peach-flavored rice wine — it was so good that even my wife, who usually doesn’t drink at all, had a few bowls (yes, bowls — not cups, which was a fun touch). Staff were friendly and helped explain the menu. The place has a chill, Korean street-style vibe, and they were playing Blackpink. Definitely coming back.

Great meal! The beef rib fingers were incredibly tender and flavourful. The spicy lamb and cheesy teokbokki were also fantastic. A solid spot for delicious and satisfying food. Highly recommend!

It's hard to find and easy to miss - Joomak is a little basememt bar right next to RMIT. You might not know what you're getting into as you walk down the stairs, but soon thumping kpop will reach your ears and you know that you're there. Staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is great. Patron friendly booths and sections have been partitioned for more privacy. It's easy to come in a bigger group to fill a booth out. Food wise, it's great at first taste. We got sweet and sour pork, bbq chicken and the pork soup. They were good but as time went by you'd realise that everything is a bit too sweet and starchy. We also got soju - the famous Korean rice wine. Don't splurge, whilst they are tasty, the sweetness of a bottle is enough to be shared amongst a group of 4. Overall, great staff and atmosphere and good food. Great for late night catchups with friends.

Known for their rice wine and fruit soju! This korean bar is quite popular even though it's location is somewhat hidden. They open till late and can be quite pack at dinner time. My must order will be chicken giblets, seafood pancake and egg roll.

Apart from having absolutely no signage out the front, I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere at Joomak when I finally found my friends! ha! Great fittings and the tables and lighting created the perfect Korean bar feeling. The Soju was reasonably priced and although the dishes were slightly on the smaller side, they tasted like true Korean bar food and that's the reason we were there!

my favourite thing here is the flavoured soju and rice wines. i sound like an alcoholic right now but i can assure you i'm not and just enjoy the occasional drink. i usually come here for dinner with some girlfriends as one of our catch up places. it's quiet hidden as it's a basement restaurant and quiet dark. authentic korean food like; mandoo, kimchi pancakes, korean fried chicken, kimchi soup, bulgogi beef and the list just goes on.. i'm in love with korean food. it's such a comfort food when i travel so when i miss home food i try and find a korean restaurant. the staff is quiet friendly and the service is great

Food wasn't bad, it was the service. Decided to stop by here for late night korean food, the place is hidden with no proper sign, had to call for directions. When we got there, it was after 10pm and place seemed somewhat packed. We were never approached by any server, even though many of them saw us sitting there. Finally had to get attention of one of the server and placed our order. We ordered the tofu soup, which was delicious and spicy pork bulgogi. We patiently waited for our rice for our dish which never came. Not one server came by to ask if everything was okay with our order. Finally, My husband went out to ask the server about our rice. The server said, the dish doesn't come with rice and you have to ask for it. Which i thought was very odd bc how can u eat korean food with no rice? Its like eating pho with no noodles, curry with no rice, you need RICE to eat your dish. If she would've apologized for forgetting, that's totally cool instead of coming up with something crazy. If this is true about this restaurant, something is very WRONG. Traveling from abroad, and if this is the norm in Australia that is just ludicrous!

most rude service i have ever experienced in my life. waiter took our order and then came back after 10 minutes to tell me that i can't seat here and there are no tables available for me
