I didn't come to WooDam Korean BBQ for a quick, rushed meal. The moment real charcoal hits the embedded grill at the table, the entire space comes alive with heat, smoke, and sizzle.

Located in Cannon Hill, this spot skips gas burners and shortcuts to focus on traditional Korean charcoal BBQ done properly. It is an experience designed around lingering, sharing, and watching your dinner sizzle right in front of you.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Is WooDam Korean BBQ worth adding to your itinerary?

When the hot charcoal grill settles and you think the meal is complete, the smartest move is leaving room for dessert. Reaching for a grey Korean shark ice pole provides a sweet, nostalgic, and icy finish after a smoky dinner.

At a glance: what we ordered

  • Chef's signature charcoal experience with MB8-9+ Wagyu beef
  • House-made spread of 15 banchan side dishes
  • Shark ice pole

Real Charcoal and Marbled Wagyu

The heart of the meal centers on quality cuts cooked over genuine embers, headlined by rich MB8-9+ Wagyu beef with deep marbling. Slices go straight onto the grill grate, searing over open flame as smoke rises to yield tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef moments.

Slabs of pork belly cook right alongside the beef, crisping over red-hot charcoal before being snipped into bite-sized pieces with kitchen scissors. Wrapped into ssam with fresh lettuce leaves and sauce, it delivers classic Korean BBQ flavour.

Fifteen Daily Banchan and Comforting Sides

The anchor of the chef's signature experience is the spread of 15 distinct banchan side dishes, prepared fresh in-house daily. Small dishes of kimchi, japchae, and vibrant salads crowd the table, offering crisp texture and acidity to balance the rich grilled meats.

The surrounding spread brings even more variety to the table. A tin of corn cheese simmers on the grill grate until stringy and molten, while bubbling red tofu soup, beef yukhoe tartare topped with egg yolk and pear, and chilled naengmyeon noodles complete the feast.

A Cool Shark Bar Finish

When the hot charcoal grill settles and you think the meal is complete, the smartest move is leaving room for dessert. Reaching for a grey Korean shark ice pole provides a sweet, nostalgic, and icy finish after a smoky dinner.
