About Tong 86

Beaufort Street’s bustling warehouse sets the benchmark for unpretentious Korean table barbecue without the hefty bill. Sprawling, loud, and covered in customer graffiti—grab a paint pen at the front desk to leave your own mark on the walls. Pull up to a round oil-drum table, fire up the gas hotplate, and stash overflowing banchan on the handy side trolleys. Regulars swear by the marinated meats, folded neatly into crunchy lettuce leaves, alongside comforting kimchi stew and chewy rosé tteokbokki. It all pairs seamlessly with ice-cold soju poured straight into frosted glasses.

  • Interactive Graffiti Walls: Guests grab paint pens from the front desk to scrawl names and doodles across the warehouse walls.
  • Tableside Trolley Setup: Compact round drum tables come paired with handy wheeled carts to hold extra dishes and sides.
  • Savory Korean Favorites: Celebrated for richly marinated cuts, standout kimchi stew, and chewy rosé tteokbokki.
  • Accessible Group Feasts: Generous portions and table grilling keep meals well-priced without cutting back on quality.

Why Tong 86 Stands Out

Why diners choose Tong 86 for lively, hands-on street-style barbecue

  • Accessible DIY Korean BBQ Feasts

    Guests can grill meats directly at the table with generous portions and sides at an accessible price point compared to standard CBD venues.

    Super affordable two people can easily eat here for 30 bucks a head without drinks. Food is fresh and comes out fast, grill is easy to use once you understand it.

  • Dedicated Trolleys for Seamless Table Space

    Compact round drum tables are paired with mobile side trolleys to comfortably manage platters and empty dishes during generous group meals.

    you can figure it out with a trolley to hold all your stow away plates which solves the issue.

  • Interactive Wall Art and Community Graffiti

    Diners are invited to leave their mark on the venue by using paint pens from the front counter to sketch directly onto the walls.

    very cool interactive wall art that you can add to with their own paint pens on the front desk!

  • Atmospheric Street-Style BBQ Ambience

    The spacious warehouse setting channels the energetic, neon-lit feel of an authentic Korean street food venue.

    super cozy atmosphere, feels like something straight out of cyberpunk and the food was epic

  • Playful Joy of Tabletop Grilling

    The hands-on process of cooking dishes together over the grill creates a lively, nostalgic dining experience.

    felt happy like a child when I saw the atmosphere and all the dishes that came with the meat. It was so fun to grill everything ourselves.

  • Memorable Traditions with Close Friends

    The interactive cooking and communal seating establish an inviting environment where guests can create shared memories and return traditions.

    I liked that people could write on the wall as well, makes it somewhere you'd want to bring friends to for a tradition to reminisce.

  • Pork belly

    I think it's the cheapest place for pork belly!

  • Marinated chicken

    We had pork belly, marinated chicken, brisket, and mushrooms—everything was delicious!
