Mook Ji Bar

Best Korean food I tasted so far in Melbourne..I wish they had a half serving option in all the fried chicken menu. I was surprised for their fried tofu! It was superb! Overall, I enjoyed my dinner❤

Nice Korean restaurant located on Lonsdale St. Had tasty and filling meals and were reasonably priced. Staff were quick with service and friendly. Ordered:

Garlic soy fried chicken ½ serve: $23 (5/5)
- Approximately 6 large pieces of boneless fried chicken covered in a beautiful soy garlic sauce, and a handful of leafy greens on the side. Reccomend this dish.

Beef bugolgi: $21.90 (5/5)
- The flavours in the dish were delicious, came with a side of kimchi and rice.

Overall, would go back to this restaurant again and reccomend this place to others.

Hands down one of the best Koran BBQ spots I've been to outside of Korea itself. Authentic food and experience. Fairly priced for all you can eat BBQ and the staff are extremely welcoming. If I lived around this area I would be here at least 1-2 times a week for the food and service!

The meat was just we was expecting, tasty and juicy. The owner served us and had a little chat, we felt really welcomed. Would definitely come back again for other dishes :))

Love the unlimited pork offer - great speedy service and good bbq. Also got teotbokki, rice, corn cheese, soju - $62 each all up

Ordered a yukhwe bibimbap and it was really good. Generous portion, fresh raw beef and kimchi. There’s a buffet in the corner, you can get some kimchi and small dishes. K-bbq and fried chicken are also looks delicious.

Thank you so much for the friendly staff for recommending their new items of rice sandwiches. I was craving kimbap and they recommended these rice sandwiches. One was spam and egg and the other was kimchi and bulgogi. They were absolutely fantastic and super fulling. Thank you so much 😊

Quick and good service. Just took about 5 mins for my order. The taste is pretty good too, highly recommended for Korean fried chicken fan.

One of the tastiest Korean restaurants I’ve tried. We ordered spicy cold noodles, tteokbokki, takoyaki and and snow fried chicken and they were all so good!!! Friendly staff, fast service, cozy place with music at the background (Kpop and popular Western pop music), overall good experience!!!

Fantastic food, Take home box came with a bag to take home which was amazing. Fantastic and friendly staff, extremely accommodating. Our favourite Korean Restaurant in Melbourne

Excellent Korean food, generous portions, easy to order through the tablet, nice service, not very comfortable chairs and tables but overall great experience.

Very authentic and good quality food. We got plenty of food for our bbq. The service was very very nice, too. Would definitely recommend coming here.
Right next to the restaurant is their Café. The snacks and drinks there we’re very good, too.

Mook Ji Bar is one of Melbourne’s most popular long-standing Korean restaurants for authentic Korean comfort food at affordable prices 💸🙌

They serve a wide range of different Korean staple dishes, stews, fried chicken, K-BBQ, along with an UNLIMITED banchan refill station plus UNLIMITED rice refills! 😱🍚

Not only are the portions massive (and I mean MASSIVE!) but the food is seriously so delicious! 👏 Their Japchae is packed with so much flavour and “wok hei” aroma, definitely one of the best I’ve tried!

The Seafood Pancake is probably the BIGGEST pancake I’ve seen 😱 and it’s packed full of ingredients with very generous cuts of squid and spring onion! 🦑 The pancake batter is amazingly light and crispy yet still holds the pancake together - this is an absolute MUST TRY! 😍

Of course, the meal isn’t complete without Korean Fried Chicken! Highly recommend their Smoke Soy Garlic flavour (my go-to!) 🔥 and pair everything with their huge Army Stew (comes with noodles and refillable rice) - the perfect way to warm up on a cold winter night ❄

P.s. their Sangrias were absolutely delicious and I highly recommend trying them with your meal!

Recommended:
🥘 Large Army Stew ($45)
🥩 Beef Japchae ($19)
🍗 Half Smoke Soy Garlic Fried Chicken ($22.5)
🦐 Seafood Pancake ($18)

Came here at the recommendation of a friend and the fried chicken DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT!! Flavour was geeat and was not too salty. Would come back here again to try different flavours 😍

It's been a few years since I've been here and the renovations make the place look amazing. The staff were so lovely and the food came out quick. We ordered:

- Soy garlic half chicken : quite a big portion for just half a chicken. The batter was so crispy and the meat was juicy and tender.
-Topokki : spicy and a great entree.
- Seafood pancake: I loved taste of this. Lightly fried and the pancake itself is thick with a generous variety of seafood.
- Cold noodle : flavour was good but was quite dry, there was no soup making it hard to eat
- Beef bulgogi and Spicy pork bulgogi: so tender and the sauce infused so well into the meat.
- Grilled fish: usually don't eat fish but the mackerel was so soft and sweet. There was so fishy taste.
- Jokbal and bossam set: the pork was so tender and paired well with the cabbage, sauce and garlic.
- Mango rice wine: loved the sweetness and how well it was blended. The initial mango taste was so fragrant and sweet.

Best Korean I've ever had. Went for dinner and had the BBQ. Staff were really friendly and food was delicious and reasonably priced. Went back a couple of days later and had the Kimchi Stew for lunch.
