Toodouri

Came back here after 15 years and the food definitely has changed. Used to be an institution for good old pork belly but it also could be my taste have changed as well. Beef was nicer TBH. Service was really good as always and pricing is reasonable.

We had the pork belly and it was delicious! I think they have the best Kimchi I’ve tried so far in Melbourne and the rest of the sides were all really good as well, usually at other places there’s 2-3 side dishes that I don’t like. The service was great as they cook for you and were very attentive and friendly.

The food was really good and the service was amazing. The front of house girl that worked tonight gave us really nice service. The seafood soup taste super good. Plenty of side dishes. Highly recommend. Awesome!!!

The quality of both the service and the food was outstanding, making it one of the best Korean barbecue experiences I’ve had. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. They were quick to replenish side dishes and grill the meat to perfection at our table. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing a top-notch dining experience truly stood out. The quality of the food was superb. The meat was fresh, well-marinated, and they help you with the BBQ cooking. Each cut was tender and flavorful, making every bite a delight. The variety of side dishes was impressive, with each one adding a unique flavor and texture to the meal. The kimchi was particularly noteworthy, striking a perfect balance between spicy and tangy. Additionally, the dipping sauces provided complemented the meat wonderfully, enhancing the overall taste experience. A welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. The decor was modern yet cozy, creating a comfortable environment for dining. The layout of the tables ensured a good balance between privacy and social interaction, making it ideal for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. Overall exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The combination of excellent service, high-quality food, and a pleasant ambiance makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Korean barbecue. I highly recommend Seoul Grill House and look forward to my next visit.

This is my favourite Korean BBQ restaurant in Melbourne, I come here at-least once a month . 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. The service is always top notch and they top up your ban chan. I always leave so full and satisfied. We usually spend $65- $85 for two people, still a better price then AYCE ones and WAY better.

Perfect Korean Bbq, fresh meat, and lots of flavour, I wish there could be more side dishes but no complaints. Most importantly, great hospitality and staff are superstar. They are relly focused on customer services, helpful and very gentle. Loved that.

I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is excellent, especially the LA Galbi ribs and pork Galbi. The sweet potato noodles and corn cheese are also delicious. This place truly captures the authentic Korean flavors I was hoping for.

A good restaurant to visit when you want to eat charcoal grilled meat. First, the side dish is art. It’s not a factory taste, it‘s a real handmade taste. Everything harmonises with meat. We ate a beef short ribs, pork belly and pork jowl 👍🏼👍🏼 Everything was perfect. But little bit expensive 🥲 Watch out for your wallet.

We were back in Melbourne for the evening so for dinner, I wanted Korean BBQ. There's a ton of them near the Queen Victoria Market so after a quick search, we settled on Toodouri. This street houses three other KBBQ spots (Donwoori, Woo Ga and Hallah). Talk about stiff competition. We dropped in on a Tuesday evening (around 7:15pm). It wasn't too busy so everyone was sitting on the main floor but they do have an upstairs. This place is legit; the BBQ's are charcoal style. The menu had some happy hour specials (10:00pm to 1:00am) and daily specials (Monday to Thursday only). The rest of the menu consists of charcoal BBQ (beef, pork, chicken, seafood), set menus for 2/3/5-6 people, casserole (aka. hot pots), soups, main dishes and drinks. Service is great as they do all the cooking and cutting for you. They also changed our plates halfway and took out the hot charcoals when our last meats were done cooking (so that they didn't overcook). FYI: they give a 5% discount if you pay with cash. Otherwise, they charge you for using card (1.5%) and it has to be over $30.00 AUD. - Purple rice ($2.00 AUD) - oddly, you don't get any rice with the set menus so we had to order one bowl to share. - Banchan - you get three types (kimchi, bean sprouts and pasta salad) and it's unlimited refills. The kimchi actually impressed me as I'm not usually the biggest fan. Bean sprouts were good, pasta salad was boring. - Beef set B ($47.50 AUD) - beef bulgolgi, LA beef ribs and kimchi soup. They bring out a basket of lettuce wraps (the cheap kind) and pickled onions. The kimchi soup was fantastic! Great broth; again, tasty kimchi and there was a mix of tofu, enoki mushrooms, jalapeños and green onions. Bulgogi was nicely marinated and LA beef ribs were thin, satisfying bites. - Pork belly ($13.90 AUD) - this is their Tuesday charcoal BBQ special. You get three pieces of pork belly. They weren't too fatty and got crisped up on the BBQ. Another solid Korean spot. Reasonable prices, great service and tasty food.

Quirky and eclectic, but the food is tasty and reasonably proportioned for the price. Side dishes quite generous with up to three refills each. Recommended.

You know how you sometimes have those moments that make you think, retrospectively, was that meal actually great or were the circumstances just ideal? My Toodouri experience was just that but, I am more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I had the bulgogi stew - it was steaming hot, full of flavour. And the good good non- cabbage or potato (one too many pierogi in Poland experiences can scar a person...) vegetable dumplings. Both were pretty damn tasty. Oh, and not to mention the lovely service. From the waitress drying off our shoes, or even letting us into their restaurant looking like drowned rats and ending the night by saying that was the cutest and best tip that they'd ever been left (I'd use a highlighter). Wins all round.

One of the best K BBQ i ever have!!!! Taste of the meats is great. Texture achieved is great. Dont let the unassuming store ambience deceive you. Helpful staff who can help make a meal a truly delicious and enjoyable one. A hidden gem in Melbourne

Pretty good Korean bbq place! The place is authentic style and the service was friendly and they cook your food for you, reasonable price.cheer
