Mapo Galbi Korean BBQ

Great Korean BBQ restaurant in the heart of Gosford! Whilst Korean BBQ often suffers from a lack of coeliac + gluten free friendly options, the staff were knowledgeable and happy to help ensure that our coeliac was able to have a good meal and share the dining experience. We had a mid-week lunch, and the restaurant was quiet and tidy, even with a few others dining around us. Food was great, as expected from bbq meat, and the variety of complementary sides with our meal was delicious and more than expected. Definitely recommend!

A$40–60

If you're used to good korean bbq in Sydney this restaurant will be sub par. The kimchi pancake was a flatbread with no kimchi in sight. It was cold and there were spare seats but the server didn't let me move or close the back door. But in terms of other service with other servers it was fine.

What an amazing experience. We have enjoyed Korean BBQ many times but this place rocks! Super service, supreme quality of meat, awesome sides and well priced beverage options. We will be back soon! What a find ^_^

A$80–100

Got the plate for 2 people for $99! Very thoughtfully curated food experience with all the extras. Only thing is that you need to order two not just one plate of meat so just get the set. The marinated meat was my favourite.

Ok so, when i go here i always buy the apple juice cause it taste nice, the food is quite good but don't cook them to god damn black, the serve is good i did't see any problem on here. Also the it not that expensive. when you go to this shop you can eat a nice hot food in a hot day and let you be a FIRE MAN is so cool. BUT THE BATHROOM FOR ME JUST SO DIRTY, ALMOST EVERY RESTAURANT HAS A BAD BATHROOM.

A$20–40

Strongly not recommend for tourists. The taste for all the food are just so so. One more interesting point. If you ask for some more small dishes on side that charged 5 dollars extra ( I have been to more than 40 different Korean restaurants in last 20 years, never heard that)

I recently had the misfortune of visiting a Korean BBQ restaurant that left me utterly disappointed. From the moment I stepped in, it was clear that this place was not up to par. The boss, who happened to be a big, overweight lady, demonstrated the worst kind of attitude towards her employees, and it truly tainted my entire dining experience. Let me start by highlighting the exceptional service provided by one of the employees. Despite the chaotic atmosphere and the boss's constant berating, this particular employee remained composed, courteous, and did their best to ensure our needs were met. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about their job, creating a pleasant atmosphere despite the boss's incompetence. However, the real problem lay with the boss herself. Instead of leading by example and providing guidance, she chose to publicly humiliate her staff over the most trivial mistakes. I witnessed her reprimand an employee for a minor error, and the way she handled the situation was appalling. Rather than offering constructive criticism or providing an opportunity for growth, she unprofessionally disciplined him. It was a clear display of her lack of empathy and respect for her staff. Furthermore, the boss's demeanor throughout the evening was nothing short of unpleasant. She exuded an air of superiority, treating everyone, including customers, with a condescending attitude. Her constant hovering and criticism created an uncomfortable environment, making it nearly impossible to relax and enjoy the meal. It's disheartening to see such a toxic work environment, and it reflects poorly on the establishment as a whole. To add insult to injury, the food itself was mediocre at best. The meat was bland, and the side dishes lacked the authentic flavors that one would expect from a Korean BBQ restaurant. The overall quality was far from what I've experienced at other establishments of this nature, and it further reinforced my disappointment in the management. In conclusion, my visit to this Korean BBQ restaurant was marred by a boss who clearly lacked the necessary skills to lead and motivate her employees. The treatment of the staff, was unacceptable. The negative atmosphere created by the boss overshadowed any positive aspects of the dining experience, making it a regrettable choice for anyone seeking a pleasant meal. As a business owner myself , I am appaled by the owners professionalism. I highly recommend exploring other options instead of subjecting yourself to this unfortunate establishment.

Best Korean BBQ on the central coast, not that there is many to choose from. But the food was very yummy, we got the pork set menu, which I really enjoyed, I also loved the green onion pancake. The staff are also very nice.
