Get busy with the meat scissors and tongs at these ace Korean barbecue joints
Ssam
The closest thing you'll get to traditional Korean barbecue in the inner west. Head to the fairy-lit courtyard out the back, drink some Korean beers and do the ssam thing - bits of meat wrapped in lettuce leaves. The barbecues set in the tables are all coal-fuelled, which equals extra meaty flavour. 508 King St, Newtown 2042. (02 9519 1991).
Madang
Korean food is taking over the world – well, Pitt Street, at least. The service is outstanding at this laneway barbecue joint. The fried dumplings with rice vinegar are a must-order, as is the short rib. Come for the barbecue and stay for the kim chi pancake. 371A Pitt St, Sydney 2000. (02 9264 7010).
Se Jong BBQ Buffet
Campsie, or little Korea, is a land rich with fabric wholesalers and Korean restaurants. Aside from the grilled meats, pickles are king here. You'll get a huge range in individual bowls including kimchee and a dish of fish cake and tofu will leave you feeling virtuous from the inside out. Shop 1, 8 London St, Campsie 2194. (02 9787 7126).
Shinara Grill
Shinara is fantastic for a pre-show dinner if you're heading to the Metro or the Capitol. Set in the middle of each table is a large, sunken barbecue that gets mighty hot on your legs, so watch your knees, folks. Start with thin slices of pork rib (cut it all up with the scissors provided to speed up the cooking process) and beef tendon. 1/338-344 Pitt St, Sydney 2000. (02 9262 9218).
BBQ City
This large Korean barbecue spot is a winner, mainly for the karaoke bar upstairs, where you're given a score every time you sing a song, and the beers are only $4 a pop. There's a huge range of meats at BBQ city, and the beers never stop a'flowin. 116/120 Liverpool St, Sydney 2000. (02 9267 5155).

I agree, Jongajip is my fave too. They do the best side dishes, in taste and variety. I also love Tosung in Homebush. They do a par cooked duck which they cut up and debone for you and you grill it on the BBQ. So delicious! It is nothing like the BBQ duck you get from the Chinese BBQ shops. Highlt recommended!

Yep, I rate Jongajip as well! There is also one hot waitress there too that you gotta check out. :)

It's not the same as the original setup, and it doesnt seem as nice.

I went for the Ssam $50 BBQ. I felt really ripped off at the end of it. I guess you can expect this from Newtown prices. Go to the 'burbs instead for a more hearty feast for the same price.

Strathfield Stra BBQ. Enough said.

Eastwood - Jongajip - would rate as one of the best korean in sydney. Next to Eastwood pub. City - City BBQ - Liverpool street, up the stairs around the corner from Hungry jacks.
