Love it so much!!! First time in Brisbane, having a korean dinner here. Staff is very friendly, food is good, nice environment! Love it!! Keep it up!! Fighting!!
Awesome food and open till like late. Good place to have dinner and drinks with friends
Love eating here. It's been a favorite for years. We recently order takeaway lunch and everything was delicious!!
Love the hot stone bowls, japchae, noodles, rice cakes, pork cutlet and the side dishes. Never had a bad meal here.
I vote Madtongsan II in Brisbane city for having the best yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) in Brisbane. Generous portion of meat and veggies and also the taste. The best comfort food ever.
Aussie barbie and cold beer meets exquisite ability of Koreans to perfect the experience- indoors and upstairs in an old space in Elizabeth street. Grimy smelly sample photos and hand drawn adverts for foods in the wall stuck on with blue tack. Sit down. Have a beer have another beer. (Training tip turn cooker on immediately upon arrival) order the wagyu pack with triple onions. Cook. Eat repeat. Exquisite.
Don’t forget the extra onions and get them cooking early....wonderful
BBQ took almost 20 minutes to get hot enough to cook anything, and even then it was not very hot, on the hottest setting it took ages for even the smallest pieces to cook. Soup seemed reheated. Sides were good.
Overall a pretty reliable korean restaurant. I quite liked the pork that I ordered the second time I went here (bo ssam) and also felt that the serving size was pretty generous. The pickled vegetables were way too salty/vinegary though. My friends all enjoyed their meals (I think).
The soft tofu soup had really good thin slices of pork belly too, 10/10 would recommend.
Omg the marinated beef bi bab was delicious and really big size. My boyfriend ordered marinated pork bi bim bab and he loved it as well. Even the size was big for him. But we both finish our food as they were so good.
But the kimchi pancake was not the best tho.
A hidden lil gem. Climb the steps to amazing food. Polite service. We were after the korean army stew aka budae jjigae. The staff member was able to find it in the menu. She also recommended korean beers. The stew is meant for more then 3 people. The two of us couldnt finish it. Just be warned its super spicey. The beers went down well.
Great menu, good side dishes, and delicious Korean food! My favourite is their Soon Du Bu Jji Gae, with pork, and it’s my go to comfort food any day.
Madtongsan is one of the most well known Korean restaurants in Brisbane.
I don’t eat Korean too often but when I do, I enjoy it. The tuna sashimi bowl was no exception. Fresh tuna pieces, generous portion of the meat accompanied by a just-the-right-amount-of-spicy sauce.
I would have preferred to have the rice in a separate bowl from the rest of the dish, but that’s just because I don’t enjoy eating warm leaves after a while.
My friend enjoyed her meal as well and is a frequent diner at madtongsan!
Service was friendly and the table button makes it efficient.
Delicious food for an affordable price! We went on a Monday night when it wasn't too crowded and service was prompt, our food came out very quickly, and it was extremely delicious! I found myself taking bites of my partners food while cooling down from the spice in mine. Great portion sizes, too. It was only my second time giving Korean BBQ a shot, and I immediately realised what I'd been missing out on. Will definitely be back!
Came the day after the big storm in Brisbane. Extra star for putting in the effort while a lot of the other restaurant are closed. Had the soy fried chicken which I believe they used chicken breast rather than thigh which is still good but just not my favourite. The squid rice and tofu & kimchi soup is good as well. Old but clean. Generally recommended!!!
Been coming here for years, the food has been consistently great. Even though this restaurant is fairly hidden away upstairs, it is always so packed at dinner time. Food never takes too long to come out, and service is also prompt. There is a great variety of options available for all tastes.
I was impressed with how fast the food comes for groups, even with the staff shortages. Yummy food. A bit hard to find a car park nearby especially on a weekend so I recommend riding a scooter or public transport to get here.
Went here last week with my wife on a date night.
Beautiful food. Beautiful customer service. It wasn't overpriced. It wasn't dry. It wasn't overcooked. Everything was just right, which means perfection.
Not often you get these types of places, which is exactly why I prefer to cook at home. But this is one place I think I will make a repeat occurrence.
We had a delicious lunch yesterday. We used to go to their Sunnybank location but since it’s closed we ventured into the city as we were missing our Madtongsan lunches! Did not disappoint and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I always have the stone pot rice meal. You just can’t get the same experience if you are doing take away, going in to have it in the stone pot is the best.
