Melbourne, VIC
Harry currently ranks 10 korean spots in Melbourne, scoring 84–87 on the Harry Score.
The banchan is the tell. It costs almost nothing and there is no reason not to get it right — if the kimchi is thin or the sides are tired, the kitchen does not care. At KBBQ specifically: grill cleanliness and charcoal temperature are not optional. Harry walks out of places that let the grill go cold between cuts.
