Hwaro Korean BBQ Restaurant has served Little Bourke Street since 2006, holding the distinction of being Melbourne's first charcoal pot Korean BBQ venue in the heart of the city's Chinatown. Owner and chef Eunsook Kim personally handles the preparation of all meat and sauces, including the slicing of the Karubi boneless short ribs and the mixing of a hot pepper seasoning built from 23 individual ingredients, giving the restaurant a genuinely home-style, family-run character. Diners select premium meats, aged to perfection, and cook them to their own preference right at the table, drawing enough of a crowd on weekdays that the smell of the grill spills down onto the surrounding street. An industrial-chic setting with graffitied walls gives the restaurant an unpretentious backdrop for its consistently good food and quality of ingredients. Hwaro remains a long-standing, genuinely local option for hands-on Korean barbecue in Melbourne's Chinatown.
