Mansae Korean BBQ - CBD

A$80–100

Definitely a spot to try for anyone looking for Korean barbecue. They have good quality meat as well as exceptional service. Would highly recommend the “happiness set” for any parties of 2. It’s a good portion and great value. They have quality side dishes and their drinks are good too. Will definitely come back :)

Mansae just bring you the joyful Korean BBQ with a la cart menu including their yummy dishes and drink to celebrate any day of the week. Staff was so nice n give us the best table service ever.

Absolutely CRACKIN ! Best BBQ in Melbourne CBD. My group got there pretty early and luckily we only waited for 15 minutes to get a table before the rush. Service was incredible, they really paid attention to the tables and especially always for refills of the sides. We had the butcher feast set for $210 between 4ppl and let me tell you that was one of the most fulfilling meal I have ever had. There was a lot of premium meats that was delicious ! We also ordered kimchi neon, beef tartare and egg soufflé and that was CRACKIN ! Definitely recommend coming on a empty cause you are definitely gonna be in a food coma afterwards. Worth the hype and wait for this restaurant. It’s also better to go as a group so you get more variety !!

You’d have to wait outside for around 30mins but the staff is very efficient and food is on point. We ordered between two people (probably ordered 1-2 dishes too many) - prawns entree - army stew - 1 ox tongue - 1 prime pork belly - 1 beef - mango rice wine Highly recommend the food. Even the kimchi side dish was one of the best I’ve had 😊

Always a good time here! Queue usually starts around 530pm so go early if you’ll like to avoid waiting - we got the Premium Set with 5 different versions of beef and pork. In the side we too ordered the wagyu short rib and kimchi pancake!!! Can I just say this is the best place to eat “ban chan” side dishes??? They’re so generous with the refills 😭

I've dined here multiple times and have always been impressed with the quality of the food and service. The meat is flavorful and fresh. However, the indoor area has a strong grilled food aroma, so it's not advisable to sit inside if you've just showered, especially if you've washed your hair. The prices are on the higher side, making it less affordable for students.

ORDERED: 🥩  Happiness set ($105.00): Wagyu scotch fillet MB9+, Wagyu Rib Finger MB9+, Wagyu Beef Belly, Prime pork belly 🍜  Budae Jiggae ($25.00) 🍚  Rice ($3.50) 🥚  Gyeran-jjim: steamed egg souffle ($16.00) 🧃  Bong Bong ($4.00) My portion (between 2) was $82.90, which included weekend surcharge. Avoid the 1.5% card surcharge by paying in cash!! REVIEW: 💖  My favourite meat at Mansae is the Wagyu Beef Belly MB9+. I like to have it towards the end. I find the best version of it is when the marinade sizzles on the hot stove top, then chars and curls in towards the edges. It doesn't take long to cook because it's so thin, but it comes out soft yet crispy with every bite. Absolutely amazing. Mansae is still my favourite kbbq place in Melbourne CBD. The line is tedious, but the food quality really shines here. The sides are unlimited and refilled by the staff, who also kindly monitor your cooking situation. They're very happy to help out and help cook your meat as well.  🔥 They don't have a good ventilation system, so make sure you're wearing clothes that you're ready to put in the wash afterwards!!

The food is exquisite. They offer a variety of accompaniments, all delicious. The service is very good. We had to wait in line for approximately 30 minutes. It was a pleasant experience.
