Woo399 Korean BBQ: A Fresh Take on Melbourne’s Grill-It-Yourself Dining Scene

Eat, Melbourne / 25 May 2024

Woo399 Korean BBQ has opened its doors at 4/399 Lonsdale St in Melbourne’s CBD.

Woo399 is a new hotspot bringing an innovative twist to traditional Korean BBQ, featuring premium Shinpo BBQ Grills and a unique, customer-focused approach.

EAT: A Cut Above the Rest

Upon entering, diners see a visually striking setup resembling a high-end butcher shop. Guests choose from top-quality Wagyu beef cuts, including Chuck Eye Roll, Short Rib, Flat Meat, and Oyster Blade. Each cut boasts a marble score of 9+. Prices range from $15 to $25 per 150 grams, and an additional $9.99 per person covers sauces, three side dishes, and unlimited soft drinks.

The menu doesn’t stop at beef. Adventurous eaters can opt for Pork Belly in various marinades and ox tongue. Korean delicacies like Kimchi, Creamy Croquettes, Beef Yukke, and a selection of soups provide a well-rounded dining experience. For those who prefer lighter options, there are dishes like Sunny Lettuce, Korean Potato Salad, Cup Mushrooms, and Sun Dried Tomato Salad.

DRINK: A Perfect Pairing

To complement the rich flavours of the meats, Woo399 offers a selection of drinks. Patrons can enjoy a Cass Korean Lager or indulge in a sweet Soju. For non-alcoholic options, unlimited soft drinks are included with the meal. Woo399’s commitment to quality extends to their takeaway service. Eco-friendly packaging and vacuum-sealed portions ensure that the freshness and flavour of the meats are preserved for home dining.

The Wagyu beef at Woo399 comes from Elbow Valley, where cattle are fed a mix of orange pulp and locally grown grains. This unique diet enhances the meat’s colour and nutritional value, providing a holistic dining experience.

PLAY: Grill-It-Yourself Fun

Dine-in guests will appreciate the Shinpo Grills at each table. They ensure even heat distribution for perfect grilling. With 104 seats and 26 tables, Woo399 offers a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Its recently built brick interior adds to the charm. The restaurant provides a superior grilling experience and educates diners about the origins of their food and the nuances of different meat cuts.

Woo399 Korean BBQ promises a memorable and interactive dining experience. Whether you choose to dine in or take your meal home, you’re in for a treat. For more details, check out Woo399 Korean BBQ.
