About Woojeong

Woojeong skips the tabletop grills to deliver deeply comforting, homestyle Korean cooking straight to Perth’s Hay Street. Long queues form early for bubbling stone bowls of gamjatang—rich pork neck soup with meat that slips cleanly off the bone—and steaming kimchi-jjigae. Tables fill fast with generous spreads of crisp banchan, from seasoned bean sprouts to house pickles, refilled without hesitation. When lunch crowds peak, an efficient one-hour turnover keeps the room moving, while a grab-and-go case by the counter lets you take pre-packaged side dishes and gimbap home.

  • Gamjatang and Comfort Stews: Simmered until tender, rich pork bone broth anchors the homestyle menu instead of standard tabletop barbecue.
  • Free Banchan Refills: Meals come with complimentary Korean side dishes, refilled upon request during dine-in service.
  • Grab-and-Go Banchan: Pre-packed containers of side dishes and freshly rolled gimbap are available at the counter for takeaway.

Why Diners Choose Woojeong

Authentic homestyle comfort, restorative hot soups, and takeaway banchan in the heart of Perth

  • Homestyle Korean Soups and Stews

    Specializing in homestyle stews rather than tabletop BBQ, Woojeong prepares bubbling gamjatang with tender, easily deboned pork neck in deep, savory broth.

    The meat of the pork bone is so tender that u can debone effortlessly. The soup is so good!

  • Packaged Banchan for Take-Home Meals

    Diners can grab chilled containers of authentic banchan like seasoned sprouts and marinated dishes to stock up at home or work.

    One of the cool things about Woojeong is that you can buy side dishes to take home, already packed in containers.

  • Authentic Comfort Surpassing Korea Standards

    The rich, authentic flavors evoke immediate nostalgia, rivaling beloved family recipes and classic neighborhood eateries in Korea.

    The kimchi soup and pork neck bone soup was so good and better than what we had in Korea!

Piping-hot soups, comforting stews, and traditional Korean home-cooked favorites

  • Gamjatang (Pork Neck Bone Soup)

    Every single time I come, I will only order the same thing - Gamjatang with rice. The flavour I crave for. Rich spicy pork neck bone soup with some vege. Love that they’re always served boiling hot

  • Bulgogi

    불고기, 김치찌개, 우거지 갈비탕 주문했는데 밑반찬까지 전부 다 맛있었고, 뜨끈한 국물에 몸 제대로 녹일 수 있었습니다

  • Kimchi-jjigae

    The kimchi soup and pork neck bone soup was so good and better than what we had in Korea! Kimchi soup had perfect balance of flavour and pork neck bone soup was very more-ish.

  • Bossam

    Bossam (보쌈) comes with Ssamjang, free lettuce, sliced garlic & chillies, and soup, man oh man, Ssamjang and its thickness, you can tell it’s not what they sell on grocery market but authentically made one.
