One of my favourite Korean BBQ places in Brisbane. Got the Set B this time and it was quite good. Although I prefer beef over pork, it was nice to try something different.
The staff is nice and friendly and the place has a great atmosphere.
A very clean, well decorated restaurant with wonderful service and fantastic food. Average pricing but the cuts of meat are well worth the money. Far and away my favourite Korean BBQ south of the city.
Phuong Tran and I decide on a meaty Saturday dinner so Korean BBQ Buffet it is! Midam is a comfortable and well ventilated restaurant and on arrival we are politely greeted and seated. The Buffet is $37.90 pp and includes some cooked food, a selection of raw meats, salads, side dishes, sliced oranges and cold water.
It is a full house with most tables ordering the Korean BBQ. I expected a variety of sliced fruits, ice cream, soft drinks/juices for the price. And both times when I asked staff for more prawns, the tray returned with 10-12 tiny prawns for 60 patrons.😂 Overall, we had a decent meal but I am not sure we will return for the BBQ Buffet.
My Korean friend highly recommends the 'Midam' which is a restaurant that has both a Korean BBQ buffet and a lot of meals. My favourite one is superb sweet chilli fried chicken, come with a side of salad. It's such a perfect spot for Korean lover.
Delicious authentic Korean food... Tried both the bbq buffet and their ala carte menu.... Very nice.
Definitely would go more often with my wife, she loves the Korean bbq... Especially the ox tongue
Was invite out by my brother for a catch up dinner and he felt like Korean bbq. With so many booked out and needing a table of 10, Midam was the only one to offer 2 tables side by side.
We arrive and greeted by friendly staff and shown to our tables with my brother already there.
So we went with the buffet, @$37.50 a head. Also added 3 extra dishes.
Then the fun began, everyone went to get their dishes to start cooking, among sides and fried foods like spring rolls, fried chicken, fish balls, glass noodles, pasta salad.
After a little wait, they bring out the hot coal for bbq cooking. We had ox tounge, pork belly, steak, chicken and plenty of others too. All self service, they also change the hot plate when dirty.
Food was good, we all enjoyed our meal are way too much. Only down side is the smell of bbq after, also a bottle of iced tea for $6.50 and a bottle of beer only $6 something isn't right.
There is only so much you can eat at all you can eat.
This place is just fabulous. Took my best friends here and we all had the buffet and it was absolutely worth every cent. The meats were fresh and delicious, the sides were abundant, the kimchi was excellent and the drinks specials were good too.
If you go here, remember to take your biggest appetite.
Midam also has a great setup and decor and I think I spotted little private rooms you can book to get you away from the general eating area.
We decided to dine here Friday night. Our little group of four love Korean BBQ so between the four of us we shared a Premium Wagyu Beef Set A and Mini Pork Set D. We all rolled out of Midam very full and very satisfied
Arrived on a Sunday evening and was promptly seated. They have buffet style Korean bbq for ~$38 pp and also the a-la-carte menu. We weren’t too hungry so opted for the menu option (although we were stuffed at the end). We ordered a beef rib hot pot, bibimbap, mini beef set, and kimchi noodles. Food came promptly and with banchan. The portions were generous and the meat was fairly fresh. When you order bbq sets you can order diff side dishes for a fraction of the full price. Overall, it was a great variety and food was pretty good. Will definitely be back to try the Korean bbq buffet when craving a huge meat feed.
We meant to re-visit the Sichuan Spice restaurant but it was fully booked for private function so went next door to explore this Korean eatery. Not because that, we probably keep continuously missing the improvement of this restaurant.
We were greeted by the friendly wait-staff when we walked in and one of them led us to the area to have a la cart after we indicated our purpose of dine-in. Then we were showed the offer of early bird specials on a menu so we might as well to follow their promotion to have a hot stone braised beef short rib and a hot stone seafood soup with additional order of an entrée of pan-fried dumplings. Honestly, dumplings are only passable but the other two dishes are too outstanding.
The beef ribs are slow-cooked to perfection that fall apart from the bone. Turnip pieces absorb all the flavour and they are soft. Glass noodles are extra-surprise. Besides that the seafood soup is made of many seafood with shelled prawns, mussels, half sand crab and squid. If not because the disgusting fly keep attacking us and the ventilation is not good inside the restaurant, full mark will be granted for this review.

Located next to Sichuan Spice Chinese restaurant at Farne Street. I found this restaurant is always busy with Korean diners. Tried it one night but I could not find any significant competitive power of this restaurant against its competitors; again, a la carte with option of buffet "all-you-can-eat". Although they provide a huge spacious dining area, large range of meat varieties for buffet and also charcoal grill, I just found that there are overwhelming supplies of this type of trading strategy. Are there any different dishes in the menu? Think about it!
Food - very good, service - extremely good. I ordered take away for dinner whilst at the Anytime Fitness next door and the staff went the extra mile and dropped it into the gym reception for me. I ordered the beef bibimbap and my partner had the seafood soft tofu soup. Both were really tasty and good size for the price and came with lots of sides, enough for two. Overall great experience my first time ordering here.
Korean BBQ Buffet restaurant at $38 pp. I like the selections of Beef and Pork Belly. Good value for Meatlovers with big appetites 😁
Been here couple times, service is amazing consider how busy this place this, you can hit the bell for service - Would love to come back again with group of friends.
Have to give a shot out to the amazing staff- David who have looked after our table and recommended the menu to us, guild us though the buffet and the gentlemen with glasses working at the reception was very friendly too!
Recommend to book the table at least a day before, this place is very busy.

A few things to say, I feel this place has been judged to harshly from other people that have rated it. This a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and it is very much Korean BBQ, this means you need to accept a few thing, this place is run like a true Korean BBQ and you may feel culture shock from it, remember the staff are there to help you and many complaints I have read could of been solved by asking a staff member.
There is also something else you need to know, with the all you can eat, you need to understand they don't want you to waste food. To prevent this they say if you grab to much meat and you can't eat it all they will fine you 20bucks, be understanding this is a big thing in Asian culture (to not waste food) and to respect this is not hard.
Moving on to the food it is high quality and the price is well and truly a bargain for what you get, so if you think you want to try it stop thinking and start doing this place is a hidden gem and should be visited.
The food is delicious and the service is on point. We had everything we needed to enjoy amazing food. The staff were amazing and attentive. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. This could be my new favourite place to eat.
