Your next favourite bite

WRAP.
EAT. REPEAT.

Start with a lettuce leaf. Add grilled meat and a little ssamjang. Fold it into one delicious bite. That’s ssam — your own little bundle of happiness.

Small dishes. Big personality.

THE LITTLE
EXTRAS MATTER.

Fresh, crunchy, tangy and a little spicy. Banchan are the small side dishes that bring balance to every smoky bite.

Our Story · Carnegie Since 2013

Our family.
Your table.

Playful hand-drawn portrait of Mrs Kim welcoming guests with banchan — The heart of our family **A warm welcome, from Mrs Kim.**

Mrs Kim's Grill began long before the restaurant opened in Carnegie. Mrs Kim had been preparing Korean BBQ meats and supplying them to restaurants and backyard barbecues across Melbourne for many years. By 2014, her business, Mrs Kim's BBQ, had been doing this for 20 years.

In 2013, her daughter Joanne opened Mrs Kim's Grill on Koornang Road. She brought her mother's marinades into a restaurant where guests could cook together at the table and enjoy the meat with fresh banchan.

Soon after we opened, Epicure visited the restaurant. The article, published on 4 March 2014, introduced our first dining room, rectangular table grills and the family business behind the food. Joanne described it simply: “This is the kind of food we'd serve our friends.”

Mrs Kim's Grill has changed over the years, but the food and the way we enjoy it remain much the same. We still prepare marinated meats, serve banchan and bring people together around the grill.

Why We Do It

Built on three principles

Every decision at Mrs Kim's Grill starts by asking why. These are the principles we keep coming back to.

01

Old-style marinades

Sweet soy, garlic, chilli and time. Our marinated meats are made for the grill, not for shortcuts.

02

Cook together

The rectangular grill sits in the middle so the meal becomes something everyone shares, turns and talks over.

03

Balance every bite

A little meat, a little ssamjang, something fresh and something pickled. That is how the table comes alive.
