BBQ Code Glen Waverley
Korean food is so hot right now in Melbourne, and not just because it is nearly always served with that lovely fermented side dish called Kimchi. Melbourne fell in love with Korean food quite some time ago with its classic dishes of Bibimbap, bulgogi and fried chicken.
A couple of weeks ago I spied a brand new Korean BBQ restaurant opening up in the Glen Waverley dining precinct, right next door to the ever popular Shira Nui. With its black and white paint work, clean lines and neat timber furnishings, BBQ Code looked like somewhere I would like to dine. Yesterday I got to try the food and I was not disappointed. In fact I am now a little smitten.
BBQ Code is bringing the street version of Korean food to Glen Waverley. Each (share) table is set with a couple of inbuilt electrical BBQ plates. Order from BBQ section of the neat and tempting menu and your food will be cooked in front of you on your hot plate.
As with most Korean restaurants, an enticing selection of accompaniments will be brought to your table including the ever popular Kimchi (great for the gut apparently). I was also served a small dish of fish cake, or Eomuck Bokkeum.
The menu is divided into Korean Street Food, Rice and Noodles and BBQ and dishes include Grilled Chicken Stick $8, Dukkbokki $15.50, Bibimbap, $15 and Ranchi Guksu $15.
I ordered Jab Chae with Beef which was a sweet potato noodle dish and it was delicious.
BBQ Code is already looking busy just two weeks since it opened. I cannot wait to go back and try ordering from the BBQ menu, hopefully with friends so I can try variety of dishes.
I recommend you give this little restaurant a try too. Fun, delicious and with friendly and helpful service. A great addition to the Glen Waverley scene.
Happy Eating.
