BBQ Hobart — Why Mr Korea Is the City's Best BBQ Restaurant

The BBQ Scene in Hobart Is Bigger Than You Think

When most people think of BBQ in Hobart, they picture a weekend backyard cook-up or maybe a pub parma. But the city's restaurant BBQ scene has quietly grown into something genuinely exciting — and Korean BBQ is right at the heart of it.

From American-style smokehouse ribs at Wrest Point's Longhorn to Chinese charcoal skewers at Cube BBQ House, Hobart now has barbeque restaurants covering a wide range of traditions. But for a full, interactive BBQ dining experience — the kind where the grill is at your table and every bite is cooked exactly how you like it — nothing in Hobart comes close to Korean BBQ.

What Makes Korean BBQ Different From Other BBQ Styles

American BBQ is slow-smoked and served to you. Chinese BBQ is pre-cooked and carved. Korean BBQ is something else entirely — it's a live experience. The grill is built into your table, your meat arrives raw and perfectly marinated, and you cook it yourself over the flame in real time.

The result? Every single piece is cooked to your preference — charred or just-seared, wrapped in lettuce with ssamjang paste, or eaten straight off the grill. It's communal, interactive, and consistently one of the most memorable ways to eat in any city.

Why Mr Korea Is Hobart's Best BBQ Restaurant

Located at 50 King St in Sandy Bay, Mr Korea has been serving authentic Korean BBQ to Hobart since 2020. A few things set us apart from every other barbeque restaurant in the city:

  • Locally sourced Scottsdale pork — We use premium, locally-raised Scottsdale pork for our pork belly, marinated in your choice of 8 authentic flavours including ginseng, garlic, and Korean chilli paste. You won't find this quality at any other BBQ restaurant in Hobart.

  • All-you-can-eat BBQ buffet — From Thursday to Sunday evenings, we serve an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ buffet from $59 per person. Premium cuts, hot dishes, and unlimited BBQ in one sitting. It's the best value barbeque experience in Hobart.

  • A full Korean dining experience — Beyond the BBQ, we serve traditional Korean stews, Korean fried chicken, soju cocktails, and classic side dishes (banchan) with every meal.

  • Easy online booking — Reserve your table in minutes. No phone tag, no waiting. Just show up and eat.

The Best BBQ Night Out in Hobart Starts in Sandy Bay

Whether you're a Hobart local looking for a new favourite dinner spot, or a visitor wanting to try something beyond the usual pub food, Mr Korea delivers a barbeque experience that's genuinely hard to beat in this city.

Come hungry. Leave satisfied. And book ahead — especially on buffet nights, tables fill up fast.
