First bit of info, be careful with the GPS. We made the mistake of going to a japanese restaurant right where the Uber drops you off. There is a sign that points to this super shady alley way. But in the back of that is there Madang actually is. When you walk inside it's well lit so no worries!
This place uses charcoal so you do get that flavor. We ordered the baby octopus to start. I thought it was good, just a lot of other stuff mixed in with it.
As far as the BBQ we got the bulbogi and the galbi. Both meats are my go to when it comes to Korean BBQ. And this place did not disappoint, tender and flavorful.
We got the tofu and seafood soup, it was packed with seafood.
The service was prompt and this place stays open late! -

An impressive eatery tucked away in a laneway behind Pitt St. We arrived after 9pm for dinner and - given it a Sunday - queues for non existent.
We loved the wagyu beef and the marinated pork.
The vibe and BBQ ritual made for a delicious experience. For a sweet treat, we stepped next door to Blossom Gelato for a sumptuous ice cream -

Sydney's worst kept secret, Sydney Madang, is tucked in a laneway that runs between buildings on Pitt Street. Even at 5.30pm on a cold, wintery weeknight, you'll find a crowd gathering. As you stand and wait for a table, your olfactory senses will be tantalised by wafts of barbequed meats.
This time though, we decide to pass up Korean barbeque for Yetnal Bulgogi ($36/2 people). This old-style marinated beef isn't cooked on a barbeque. It arrives as a pile of rough-cut beef piled onto the raised centre of a silver dish, topped with onions, greens, julienned carrots and thinly sliced mushrooms, surrounded by a moat of broth. It's placed on a gas burner, and the vegetables are transferred into the broth. While a staff member gets busy breaking up the generous mass of meat, we get stuck into some drinks.
We order our usual Kooksoondang Mak Gul Li ($13) and a Kloud Original Gravity ($7). The latter is a Korean beer in the style of a German Pilsner lager, with caramelised malt as the dominant note. Beer is the perfect accompaniment to Burseot Jun ($16/small) - a very simple rice-based mushroom pancake that has thoughtfully been cut into segments for ease of consumption. You can dip it in a very round and flavoursome chilli sauce, and add it to the good array of free banchan (side dishes) that arrive at your table. Kimchi and the potato salad cubes are particularly good at Madang, and when we ran out of these dishes, they were quickly replaced.
With our meat browned and drizzled with broth, and our vegetables softened, it's mixed together and left on the raised part of the silver dish. Yetnal Bulgogi is eaten like Japanese sukiyaki over a bowl of hot rice. It's the perfect antidote to a cold wintery night, and a great choice for when you don't feel like barbeque.
