Judy Zhu - dined at KorBQ on 30 July 2019
We were seated while the restaurant was not busy. The staff then gave us their undivided attention, this was lovely as we had quite a few questions. They were lovely, even helping with some suggestions. The food was phenomenal, with the overall experience being one that I will definitely do again with a larger group. Our kimchi and seasonings were constantly replenished. Overall, great

Fantastic evening BBQing at KorBQ. The 'First date' banquet was perfectly accompanied by a crisp white and great company. KorBQ is definitelySomewhere you'll want to take friends back to!

Alexandra Bolton - dined at KorBQ on 25 July 2019
I think we just discovered our new favourite Korean BBQ place in Canberra. Food and Service was great, extensive list of meats and veggies you can cook on the charcoal grill.
Really enjoyed the Crispy Chicken Skin and their Korean Fried Chicken! Will definitely be back!

Tryanti Sinambela - dined at KorBQ on 19 July 2019
We left rolling out of the joint!
Our waiter was amazing and funny. While ordering he told us that he thought it was too much food for two people-he was right!!
It was a good thing we took one item off because we were bursting at the seams. The food was too good not to keep eating!!
Jacinta Wood - dined at KorBQ on 20 March 2019
We dined at Korbq on Sunday night and it was fantastic! None of us have had Korean food before and had no idea how it all worked but the food was amazing and the service was great! Staff were very friendly and informative with all the dishes and how to use the bbq. We ordered the big banquet that allowed us to try a variety of dishes, the battered chicken and wasabi mustard sauce were so good and it was the best fried rice we have ever tasted. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant too. Will definitely be back - thank you for a great night!
Kyrie Ferguson - dined at KorBQ on 16 December 2018
KorBQ's food was not only amazing, but so was their service and the ambience of the place. If you've never done korean bbq before, or unsure about what the meals are, their friendly staff are always more than willing to help as well as explaining how it all works. KorBQ is definitely worth a visit and is located in an easy area to get to. I will definitely be back as the food was super delicious!

Alexandra Bolton - dined at KorBQ on 19 July 2018
The food was fresh and delicious and the staff were very helpful. This restaurant has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and is a great spot to eat out with friends during the cold Canberra winter. The basket of hot glowing coals at our table made it so warm and cosy. A really lovely evening.
Helen O'Kane - dined at KorBQ on 10 June 2018
The chef was not afraid to allow the food to speak for itself, simple, good quality and full of flavour not dripping in dressings or additives.
This was our first experience at a Korean BBQ, the staff were helpful, patient and guides us through the process. We will be back again
Sonya Figueiredo - dined at KorBQ on 1 July 2018
My husband and I really enjoyed our First Table dining experience at KorBQ. The staff were very attentive, and the food was delish! That chicken skin crackling is The Best. We liked the atmosphere and decor of the place too (although the music is a tad loud). We will definitely be back :)

What a wonderful place to have dinner. The staff were polite, professional and prompt. The food was quick, hot and oh so tasty!! The background music was fantastic and found myself bopping along. Will definitely return! The cheese kernels were to die for!!
Amber Carroll - dined at KorBQ on 28 March 2018
This was our family’s first time using first table and our first time trying Korean bbq! What a fantastic experience! The service was so helpful and observant. They talked us through the menu and were so kind to our kids. The food was great too - the kids especially enjoyed the fried chicken
Emma Blucher - dined at KorBQ on 9 March 2018
A very nice fit out, and the food was great! Had a range of items including the Kimchi pancakes and crispy octopus for entree, then followed by some BBQ eye fillet (which was really nice) and cripsy soy chicken for main. To top it off, they had Clonakilla Shiraz by the glass, which is our favourite wine. Definitely recommend and will be coming back!

Dianne Czumak - dined at KorBQ on 9 July 2019
Food was nice-portions seemed smaller than last time I went there. I like the look of the new menu. The staff were friendly and fast.
Elspeth Richardson - dined at KorBQ on 9 July 2019
Food was fantastic. Korean Chilli fried chicken was top-class, and this is coming from a fried/junk food junkie who has had good KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) in South Korea itself! The Mayo chicken was fantastic too, with lots of chicken with yummy seasoning. The hotpot Cheese bibimbap was ok. Just remember to stir it up (which we forgot initially!) before serving. The bulgogi and mushroom hot pot was quite tasty, although the beef wasn't the best. Soup was tasty and the portion was massive.
Service was ok. There were 2 tables with customers and there were 2-3 waiters at the time but we had to get our own extra utensils and bowls and drinks when we tried several times to get their attention. They seemed to be busy chatting or doing other stuff. It didn't really bother us as it wasn't too much trouble but I don't think everyone else would be very happy with that. Very quick to take our orders and food came in a timely manner though!
Joseph Ting - dined at KorBQ on 27 June 2019
Really love this place! The food tastes great, the serving sizes are very generous, and the prices were so good compared to a lot of places in Canberra! Would definitely come back here again!
Kylie Pandika - dined at KorBQ on 19 June 2019

Meg Tapia - dined at KorBQ on 16 May 2019
Great food fast friendly service had a lovely time
Tania Keath - dined at KorBQ on 15 May 2019
Upon arrival, KorBQ couldn’t find my first table booking on their list. I had the booking paper on my phone, so to the restaurants credit they found me a table. The service was fast, but very courteous. The food was delicious. We had the classic fried chicken, bulgogi and some spicy pork rice. The desert was also yummy being a tart of some sort. I would go back. So it was a great first experience of using First Table. Just make sure you have the booking sheet with you when you go.
Tim Mifsud - dined at KorBQ on 12 May 2019
My partner and I had a lovely time. Would definitely come back
Audrey Sarmiento - dined at KorBQ on 7 May 2019

Awesome food. Even my (almost) vegetarian wife loved it. Looking forward to taking our kids.
Tim Abberton - dined at KorBQ on 28 April 2019
Food was excellent and service was great! However, portion sizes for entrees are on the slightly small(er) side. Highly recommend the chilli fried chicken though!
Suyan Yee - dined at KorBQ on 27 April 2019
We ordered the Pork Bone Hot Pot, Kimchi Pancake and Seafood Pancake but all the food do not taste good.
Jessica Ling - dined at KorBQ on 26 April 2019
The staff were friendly and provided prompt service. The food came to our table quick and piping hot. As a college student, I'm glad I had a lovely dinner without burning a hole in my wallet. If you love spicy food, I will recommend the jampong - spicy seafood noodles. It's our favourite dish of the meal. The creamy fried chicken and crunchy octopus are delicious as well. Love the free flow kimchi too.
Qian Ling - dined at KorBQ on 25 April 2019
Perfect food, great service! It was smooth then I thought to changed form 2 pp to 4pp, we had ordered a banquet 4pp and on top of bbq we had lots of choices of main and sides, all in all, we had a splendid dinner! Will definitely come back!
FAY YU - dined at KorBQ on 19 April 2019

Kathleen Coxon - dined at KorBQ on 17 April 2019
Food was very tasty. I liked the mushroom and bulogi hot pot...my partner didn't.
Ordered too much food even though we asked the waitress...Maitre d then came over and told us the hot pot was enough to feed 3 people!!
Sadly not a good selection of wines...
Carmen Eckhoff - dined at KorBQ on 5 April 2019
From the moment we entered the place we were taken care of.This was our first time at KorBQ and certainly not our last. The variety of food and drinks are wonderful. Our waitress explained what we should do and she took the time to explain the dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed yourself, definitely recommend KorBQ.

Tom McConchie - dined at KorBQ on 28 March 2019
KorBQ is always a special dinner treat. They have the BEST spicy fried chicken and quality grilled meats. So getting dinner for 4 at 50% off through First Table makes the night extra special (and it means we have more cash to spend on the delicious food!!
Meg Tapia - dined at KorBQ on 28 March 2019
Great Korean BBQ, perfect for a meal before a show at Canberra Theatre
