Sydney Madang

City Centre & Haymarket


Down a teensy Koreatown lane is this alleyway gem – an authentic, good-value BBQ joint that’s low on interior charisma but high on quality and quantity. Noisy, cramped and chaotic, yes, but the chilli seafood soup will have you coming back. Try the delicious cold noodles too. Prepare to queue at weekends.
