Chang Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant

If you are looking for high quality authentic Korean food & BBQ, Chang Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant @changkoreanbbq located at Dempsey is a place that you must try. Look forward to an array of traditional dishes alongside more modern dishes like charcoal-grilled beef, pork or chicken!

Highly recommended to try their Yangnyum Galbi, U.S Marinated Short Ribs ($62.00++, 330g), very well marinated, flavourful and tender. One of the best marinated meats that I have tried.

Stir-fried glass noodle with vegetables & beef ($25++)

Can't miss the classic Japchae which perfectly springy & chewy! 😋 This rendition is quite lightly seasoned so it is good on its own.

Sliced Pork Trotter, jelly fish, kimchi, spring onion with chef mustard dressing ($38++)

Served as a cold dish ❄️, I enjoyed their Jokbal (Sliced Pork Trotter) which didn't have much of the gamey flavours of pork! 👌🏻 A very refreshing dish with the tangy mustard sauce cutting the heaviness of the meats! ✔️

The charcoal-grilled 🐄 Marinated Beef Short Rib ($62++/330g) & 🐖 Marinated Pork Rib (Spain) ($42/300g) were so good! ❤️❤️❤️ The beef had a really good lean-fat ratio & almost melt-in-your-mouth tender! 🤤 The pork was equally delightful with a nice smoky char from the grill. 👍🏻

Being seated outdoors at @changkoreanbbq in Dempsey on cool nights is a really pleasant experience. You get to be away from the smoky smell, and your order of meats gets barbecued for you (which is perfect for lazy-to-cook people like me 😆). The friendly staff always presents whatever you’ve picked to be verified first before whisking it away to be grilled and cut up. So upon return, each order of piping hot meat can be eaten right away.
We only had beef on this recent visit because all of us were craving red meat. While the Marinated Prime Rib Eye (Australian, 200G - $58++) was flavourful and a tad sweet in taste profile from its marination, the Fresh Cut Prime Short Rib (U.S. 300G - $69++) was au naturel juicy goodness.
I alternated between wrapping the barbecued beef in leaves with green chilli, raw garlic plus a dab of the sauces provided, and pairing each piece with the “Myul Naengmyun” (#ChangKoreanBBQ does the tastiest version in my opinion). The piping hot meat and cold noodles (dressed in some vinegar and mustard) is a killer combination.
One thing we realised that evening was that the Banchan served during dinner differs a little from lunch. There were a few premium items such as marinated cockles, in the large spread. But when you request for another round, these won’t necessarily appear again. I guess, quite understandably, each table only gets a single helping of the pricier Banchan.

If you go during lunchtime, you can pick the either the Naengmyeon or Rice plus “Soup of the day” as your carb for the BBQ Beef Lunch Set ($43++ per pax) which includes a decent spread of refillable Banchan, Prime Ribeye (the staff can help you with the grilling at a separate table if you ask) and dessert of ice-cream.
