Marble Korean Steakhouse is set to bring a bold new dining experience to Portside Wharf, offering an interactive, high-end take on Korean BBQ that blends the rich flavours of Seoul with modern steakhouse sophistication.
At Marble, every detail is considered—from the way your steak sizzles on the smokeless grill to the perfectly paired wine. Forget smoky chaos and DIY guesswork—this is BBQ with intention and elegance.
“We’ve taken what people love about Korean BBQ and given it a fresh, modern edge,” said co-founder Vanessa Devine, who runs the restaurant alongside her chef-husband, Simon Kang, a culinary expert trained in Korea’s high-pressure kitchens.
“Instead of the usual thinly sliced meats and self-service setup, we focus on premium cuts of high-grade meat and guide diners through the process. It’s about creating an experience where people feel confident, excited, and indulged,” Mr Kang said.
At every table, cutting-edge smokeless grills whisk away any trace of haze, ensuring the spotlight remains on the food. Imported directly from Japan, this technology is a cornerstone of Marble’s reimagined approach to the BBQ experience.
The menu takes its cues from traditional Korean cuisine, celebrating the purity of raw ingredients while offering a modern twist. Vibrant pickled vegetables, house-made sauces, and top-tier cuts of meat take centre stage, served with the precision of a Michelin-calibre steakhouse.
Then there’s the wine flight program—a carefully curated selection of 75ml wine pairings matched to each cut of meat, taking the guesswork out of the perfect pour.
“You don’t need to be a wine expert—we’ve done the hard work for you,” said Ms Devine.
Guests can expect dedicated staff to assist with tableside grilling, colourful side dishes, and a seamless experience designed to elevate every bite.
The restaurant’s sleek, industrial-inspired interior, moody lighting, a cocktail bar with edge, and music that hums with energy all come together to create an atmosphere that feels as modern as the food.
“This space has a kind of magnetic energy,” said Ms Devine.
“It’s stylish, vibrant, and evolving—which is exactly the atmosphere we wanted for Marble. It’s not just a place to eat; it’s a destination where you can spend an entire night soaking up the vibe.”
Marble Korean Steakhouse is opening in April at Portside Wharf.
