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.đ 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.Â
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 werenât 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.Â
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 entrĂ©e of pan-fried dumplings. Honestly, dumplings are only passable but the other two dishes are too outstanding.Â
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.Â

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!

Pretty good.
Unfortunately the beef tongue was short and not refilled frequently enough
Side dishes didnât get refilled and were cold for example the fried chicken
===
Update 2019 - multiple visits
Much better now. Great sides, nice juicy meat
5/5
Came here to dine on a Sunday afternoon and went for the lunch BBQ buffet for $33.90. The quantity and quality of meats were excellent and if the meats are all youâre after, youâre in for a treat! I personally ate my and my wifeâs quota of red meat for the month!
The some things I wish they had more of were the traditional sides (the ones usually served in small plates) and more options for dessert such as fresh fruit. Overall, a decent experience but would have been made better with one or two tweaks.
Been here twice and itâs honestly my favorite out of he KBBQ places Iâve been to. The prices are reasonable and the value is good too! I love coming here with friends and family and just eating till our stomachs burst!
Itâd also be great if the workers could better understand English, since a lot of non-Asian/Korean customers come here, especially since KBBQ is booming in Australia.
Self-serve fishcakes and kimchi? Yes please! A staple KBBQ place to go to if you want all-you-can-eat meat and show off your cooking skills to your Asian girlfriend. Unfortunately, you will have to fight for the beef tongue when they come out. But thatâs ok, youâre here to show off to your girl how much of a man you are right?
Came with some friends, the atmosphere is nice and the food was good. Side dishes were awesome, best that I've had at a Korean restaurant in Brisbane. Wish the menu had more variety though
The food was amazing.. there was a slight communication problem due to language barrier but never were they rude. The downside is parking. Need way more parking or make street parking allowable.
Good for overall buffet korean BBQ, plenty of food to keep everyone happy and full, nice interior and bidet toilet (very much feels like going to real korean house in korea)..
Great marinade for the pork and beef strips, the service could be improved if you hired more people to work the floor as the restaurant was understaffed as soon as the 6pm rush began. The floor was a minor hazard because it was dirty and greasy, but overall dining experience was delicious although the price was a bit high :)
Very good Korean charcoal BBQ!! We went the all-you-can-eat buffet, & loved it. Wagyu beef, pork belly, & a variety of other marinated meats. Plus some fried chicken as well!! Staff very friendly & helpful... :-)
Everything's done right at this korean bbq from seating, range of meats, great staff and service. Only negative would be the lack of choices in desserts. Would be great to have more than just icecream and a tea to choose from.
Another of the Korean BBQ restaurants clumped fairly close together in the Sunnybank area and again competitive on quality and pricing. This one is just literally around the corner from the Pinelands Shopping Centre where Mr Bap is located.
Meat is generally well flavoured and side dishes and rice which you can serve yourself are quickly topped, with a side table for coffee or tea if you like.
The separate dining rooms are useful for a less noisy dining experience.
Had my B'day lunch here yesterday after a disappointing choice of going to Goong first! -_- Anyways, the meat was fresh and tasty! :D The rice and side dishes were great. Took a first timer and she loved it!! Service was awesome. Their Kimchi was the bomb.com! Thank you Midam for a great B'day lunch!! :D
The korean BBQ buffet entitles you to a good range of fresh meats, sauces and side dishes, rice and salad however is extra. One of the better Korean BBQ places in southside Brisbane
Came here for my birthday dinner last night. We all ordered the buffet and it was good, wasn't amazing. There were only about 3 or 4 side dishes I think and we generally like a lot of them. Good value for money though and the service was pretty good. It was just really busy so we had to ask them to change the plate, but other then that was pretty good :)
Great food and service ...........................................................................................................................
My favourite go to Korean bbq place. I have found the meat and side dishes are always fresh, quickly topped up if they've run out and you can also have as much rice as you want too. They also have a side table where you can make coffee or tea if you feel like it. Service is quick and they change the burnt bbq plate upon request. There are also function rooms available as well.

Not sure where to take your guests? Why not charm them with Midam? Midam offers a wide range of a-la-carte Korean dishes and all-you-can-eat BBQ buffet for only $28.50. Given that the meats were from Thomas Meats (famous Korean butcher at Sunnybank), I had high expectations. I was definitely not disappointed - the Wagyu was very well marbled and the pork belly was sliced to the perfect thickness (or thinness) such that it crisped up deliciously after it was grilled. I also loved the subtle sweet and tangy flavours on the marinated meats - the meats were very fresh so the original flavours really came through and you don't need to drench them in sauces!
Each table has a service button so you don't have to awkwardly wave at ignoring waiters. All you can eat Korean bbq for $27ish pp. Meats are pretty good because they've been nicely marinated, side dishes are pretty good too. Restaurant is quite nicely decorated and maintained. Will return
We obtained lots of marinated beef, wagyu beef strips, marinated pork, pork belly as well as chicken. Apparently there were some selections of seafood, but we completely ignored them for the meat. I guess its also good to mention here that each table is only given one plate to gather food. Perhaps they use it as a mechanism to ensure wastage is minimised. Anyway, after all the juices are left on the plate, the waiter seemed happy to swap us a new plate, so that didnt turn out to be too much of an issue.
Great!. We love this place and the fact that you can serve yourself without asking a waiter and waiting for another round of plates is fantastic. I especially like the savoury jelly.
Great marinated meat. Great restaurant in an out-of-the-way complex. The food was mostly really good, some of the marinated meats were amazing, the sides could be better. The decor is nice; contemporary korean bbq. The toilets were filthy tho... maybe just a bad night. I will give them the benefit of doubt.

Cheap & Fulfilling!. This place is my new craze, $25 all you can eat (weekdays, $30 weekends), BYO or have their in-house wine list. Whenever I crave for meat, this is definitely my place to pig-out. Great service, food is good and good value for $$$ (non-buffet menus also available). One thing I found recently that disappoints me is that they had changed their Wagyu beef to a different grade. Wagyu no longer tastes like traditional Wagyu, even beef skirt tastes better... I shall speak to the owner next time about this issue. Other than that, I'd still go to Midam anyday of the week. I remembered maximum times I went there was 4times a week... And yes... I gained a few kgs haha. I rate it 7/10
Good quality meat considering it is all you can eat, especially like it when Wagyu Beef is included. Service is a little slow and 'difficult' however I believe this is only due to the language barrier.
Great place for something different.
Great value and great bbq. Great value at $25 all you can eat bbq. The bbq are charcoal which I prefer to gas bbq's in most korean joints. It is self serve for the meats, so it's straight forward and food was good. Definitely recommend this place
Nice place to dine. Very friendly service. Good price, and the interior is very nice. Very happy to find a new restaurant that can come with friends and families.
Dinner was extremely good! The meats were tender and well marinated, and the side dishes were tasty. I assume some people are turned off by a time limit, but I think the maximum of 2 hours is definitely more than enough to walk away really satisfied!
We were really impressed with the quality of the meat. Although dipping sauce was provided, the meat was tender and tasty to be eaten without much dressing. Yum! Loved it!
We liked the food, environment and prices at Midam. It was such great value and the servings were huge too. The service was a bit frantic because they probably didn't expect it to be so busy but at least they dealt with it in a polite and earnest manner.
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 đ
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.
