Come hungry Adelaide, because one plate just isn’t going to cut it.
Popular interstate chain Hanok Korean BBQ has landed in the heart of Rundle Mall, serving up endless rounds of sizzling meats, premium Wagyu and charcoal-grilled favourites from just $59 per person.
The new venue can be found on Level One of Rundle Place, with seating for more than 190 diners and a cook-it-yourself experience that makes going back for seconds (and thirds) all part of the fun.
Already established across New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT, Hanok has built its dining concept around the traditional Korean barbecue experience, where cooking and sharing a meal become part of the occasion.
The concept centres on traditional Korean charcoal barbecue, where diners gather around built-in table grills to cook their own meats, share dishes and enjoy a meal together.
The team said Rundle Place was a natural choice, with its central CBD location making the restaurant accessible to shoppers, city workers, residents and visitors.
“Adelaide has always appealed to us because of its vibrant food scene and strong appreciation for quality dining experiences,” the Hanok team said.
“We believe Adelaide diners value good ingredients, authentic flavours and restaurants that offer something a little different, all of which align closely with what we aim to deliver at Hanok.”
Unlike some Korean BBQ venues where diners order individual meat platters, Hanok’s Adelaide restaurant will operate on an all-you-can-eat model for both lunch and dinner.
The menu places a strong emphasis on Australian beef and Wagyu, alongside premium beef cuts, traditionally marinated meats and pork belly. Guests can select their favourite cuts, cook them over charcoal and explore a variety of flavours throughout their meal.
“For first-time visitors, we’d recommend starting with a selection of Wagyu beef, marinated beef and pork belly.”
“Each offers a different flavour and texture, and trying them together is a great introduction to Korean BBQ.”
While Hanok’s existing restaurants are also known for Korean favourites including fried chicken, hot stone bibimbap and warming soups, the Adelaide venue’s confirmed focus is its all-you-can-eat barbecue selection.
“One of the best things about our all-you-can-eat experience is the freedom to explore. Guests can sample different cuts, find their favourites and enjoy the meal at their own pace.”
The team is also considering seasonal specials and additional dishes in response to feedback from Adelaide diners. For those planning a visit, lunch costs $59 per adult, while dinner is $69 per adult.
Families are also catered for, with children aged three to 13 charged $3 per year of age. That means a six-year-old can dine for $18, while a 10-year-old costs $30. Adult pricing applies from age 14.
Inside, the spacious restaurant has been designed to accommodate more than 190 guests, with a modern, welcoming fit-out suited to group dining, family celebrations, casual lunches and longer dinners with friends.
“Sharing food is an important part of Korean BBQ culture, so we wanted a restaurant that would be suitable for a wide range of occasions, whether it’s a casual lunch, a family dinner, a birthday celebration or a gathering with friends and colleagues.”
For founder Marvin Ma, the vision behind Hanok has always been about more than simply serving Korean food.
The business was established to introduce Australians to the flavours and traditions of charcoal barbecue, combining authentic Korean cooking techniques with high-quality Australian produce and warm hospitality.
“Despite our growth, the philosophy behind Hanok remains unchanged. Great food, genuine hospitality and bringing people together.”
The opening adds another dining destination to Rundle Place’s growing Level One food precinct, joining venues including Doughballs, Ajisen Ramen, David’s Master Hot Pot and C9 Chocolate and Gelato.
“We’re looking forward to becoming part of Adelaide’s dining community and introducing more people to the Korean BBQ experience.”
