SSAM Korean BBQ, Korean restaurant in Ringwood, Maroondah, Australia
SSAM Korean BBQ offers table-mounted grill stations where guests cook their own selection of meat cuts and vegetables during the meal. The space features an open layout that centers the grilling activity, with each table equipped with its own cooking station.
The restaurant opened in Maroondah during a period of growing Korean dining establishments in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It emerged when Asian cuisine was gaining popularity across the region.
The restaurant follows the Korean custom of serving multiple small side dishes arranged across the table during each meal. This style of eating creates a shared dining experience where guests eat together and explore different flavors.
The restaurant is located on Maroondah Highway and opens in the evening from 5:30 PM. Making a reservation in advance is recommended, especially on weekends, to secure a table.
The restaurant uses specialized table grills with built-in ventilation that pulls smoke directly upward. This system allows tabletop cooking without filling the entire space with smoke.
