Korean Fine Dining in Melbourne | Rōnin Ōmakase
Elevated, Not Casual
Korean food in Melbourne is often fast and shared. Rōnin puts it in a fine-dining frame instead: a ten-seat counter, a chef-led set, one course at a time, with the polish of a tasting room.
The format is omakase; the deeper explainer is on our omakase guide.
Hanjungsik, Reworked
The kitchen draws on hanjungsik, the traditional Korean multi-course meal, rebuilt around Australian seasonal produce and finished with fermentation, jang and charcoal. Nostalgic in ethos, precise in execution.

Seoul to Melbourne
Chef Liam Lee trained at Gyungbokgung Hanjungsik in Seoul and spent over a decade in acclaimed Melbourne kitchens including Nomad, Firebird and Studio Amaro before opening Rōnin in 2023.
Broadsheet and Concrete Playground have both written about the room: read the coverage.
