The Story

About This Place

BBQ Ông Mập chi nhánh Quận 2 sits on Song Hành in An Phú, pulling one of the more convincing endorsements a Korean restaurant in Saigon can claim: on a typical evening, roughly 90% of the dining room is Korean. The interior echoes what you'd find in Seoul — low-slung ventilation hoods above each table, grills built into every surface, a layout designed around the act of cooking rather than the look of the room.

The restaurant runs on charcoal, not gas. Staff manage the grill tableside, adjusting heat and timing so nothing overcooks. The pork combo draws most first-timers — pork skin alongside kimchi jjigae — and repeat visitors tend to branch into intestines, outside skirt, and short rib. Banchan arrives automatically and is refilled without prompting, a detail that separates this from most Korean spots in the city. The kimchi pancake has developed its own following: properly crisped at the edges and generous enough to anchor a meal on its own.

Friday through Sunday evenings fill quickly; arriving early or bracing for a wait is standard practice by 7 PM. The restaurant runs until 1 AM every day of the week, which positions it as one of the more reliable options in Thao Dien for a full sit-down meal after most other kitchens have closed. The 4.8 rating across more than 1,400 Google reviews is driven by regulars returning repeatedly, not a single wave of novelty visitors — a meaningful distinction. For Korean charcoal barbecue at this consistency and price point, there is no direct comparison in the immediate neighborhood.

Discovered this Korean bbq restaurant in Saigon and let me tell you how authentic this place is, I feel like I was transported to Seoul, South Korea. The food is delicious, grilled over charcoal coal. The staff is friendly and great, they cook the bbq meats for you. They give you a good selections of Korean side dishes. Good quality meats. The interior restaurant is designed like the ones in Korea. Definitely will be eating here regularly more often. Highly recommend to others.

Been here many times. Never regret. The meat quality are great. You don’t have to do the grill, the staffs are very friendly and helpful. Panchan also a plus. Free refill panchan here.

This was my first time visiting, and I immediately felt the traditional Korean restaurant vibe. From the decor to the arrangement of tables and chairs, everything made me feel like I was actually in Korea. I ordered the pork combo, which came with pork skin (one of my absolute favorites), along with kimchi soup. The food was 10/10—perfectly suited to my taste. I also really appreciate the service here. The staff were polite, respectful, and very attentive, always keeping an eye on customers and providing what they needed right away. Especially very kid-friendly.

Came to this spot a few weeks ago and overall, it was a good experience. The food was tasty. It can get pretty packed on weekend nights. They forgot to serve one of the dishes and we found it left behind us later. Also, the air-con was leaking water, which was a bit inconvenient. Despite that, I’d still recommend this place for some great BBQ food.
