BBQ King, King St
9 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/melbourne10 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Commenters recommend BBQ King for all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue and value. One especially likes the meat quality and selection, although another thinks Ssam has better meat. Sushi divides opinion too: two commenters praise it and another advises skipping it. A diner notes that drinks add to the bill. The King Street city restaurant is represented here; an explicitly separate Southern Cross sushi opinion is not a guarantee for every outlet.
