How much Korean BBQ can you devour in 90 minutes, plus hotpot dishes, other hot and cold bites, salads and desserts as well? Visit this Sunnybank spot and you'll find out. Queensland's largest Korean BBQ and hotpot venue is open at Market Square, serving up buffets seven days a week. Here, you'll get cooking, scooping, slurping and feasting. Summer always sizzles in Brisbane, as do most other seasons, but the temperature is no longer the only reason on trips to the city's south. Seoul Garden started firing up its grills on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 on Market Square's second floor, taking over the entire level — or, to be more accurate, customers at the first Sunshine venue from the Victorian-born chain are doing the searing. This is a big addition to the River City in a range of ways. The 300-person-capacity restaurant sprawls across 800 square metres, which is why the brand advises that it's the Sunshine State's biggest Korean BBQ and hotpot venue. It is also dishing up more than 50 hotpot choices, with 30-plus meat options, as part of its the all-you-can-eat experience. Amid neon lights that take inspiration from the eatery's namesake, customers sit at tables with grills, pairing their chosen ingredients with house-made sauces and side dishes. Or, opt for the hotpot buffet or dedicated raw bar — or make a date with all three. Either way, no one should be leaving feeling hungry, with this stomach-filling meal setting patrons back $49.90 per person. In Victoria, where the chain operates in Docklands, Highpoint, Northland and Glen Waverley Century City, Seoul Garden's setup has unsurprisingly proven popular — but its move to Brisbane is its first venture out of the state that it has always called home until now.

CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) The story goes that Chinese migrants of the 1980s were first attracted to Sunnybank because they believed an aerial view of the suburb showed it to be at the heart of an enormous dragon curling in and around the CBD: a place of good fortune and good luck That and the fact that around 100 years earlier the Chinese who were expert at cultivating market gardens around Brisbane began to settle the area because of its fertile soils Whatever the truth there is no doubt that Sunnybank and Sunnybank Hills have become “hot property” suburbs in recent years with a market spurred by continuing Chinese and other Asian investment with its eclectic mix of amenities and some of the best Asian restaurants in Australia has superseded Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley as the city’s heart of the Chinese and south-east Asian food scene The area has also proved a drawcard for families of international students seeking to establish a home base close to the nearby Nathan Campus of Griffith University With a Domain-listed median price for a three-bedroom home of $640,000 and regular sales reaching more than $1 million buyers and investors are paying growing attention to nearby suburbs that still offer good value and high returns – and all well within that all-important 15-kilometre radius of the CBD In a recent Domain news report on Brisbane’s so-called “middle-ring” suburbs said he believed any suburb within the 15-kilometre radius would perform well in 2017 Sunnybank Hills and Eight Mile Plains … I get very strong demand from Asian buyers and they’re active at all price points Upper Mount Gravatt (current Domain-listed three bedroom home median price $595,000) Eight Mile Plains ($420,000) and Coopers Plains ($540,000) are all within the catchment of big employers and institutions such as Griffith University the QEII Hospital and the Acacia Ridge industrial area adjacent to Sunnybank and just 12 kilometres from the CBD by road is proving an emerging “hot spot” for buyers and investors the suburb also offers the advantage of a direct rail line to Brisbane and connections south to the Gold Coast Buyers are not only looking for gains among established properties but also the flow-on from the Cornerstone Living project – the largest suburban renewal project in Queensland The $600 million residential community between Coopers Plains and Sunnybank will take the form of a complete neighbourhood More than 140 apartments and townhouses  have been built with more under way and an eventual development target of 1200 a site so close to the CBD and with established suburban infrastructure proved too good an opportunity to miss residential director for commercial real estate company Colliers International says:  “We’ve had urban renewal projects where industrial areas are made over but this is the first time we’ve taken a suburban area and its established infrastructure and created a community-oriented site just 10 kilometres from the CBD.” Cornerstone Living is 45 minutes from the Gold Coast.
