Menu of Mi POPO BBQ in Wolli Creek, New South Wales, Australia

Menu Overview

Mi POPO BBQ, nestled in Wolli Creek, NSW, presents a distinctive fusion of authentic Chinese barbecue flavors that are deeply satisfying and rich in tradition. The menu is anchored by an adventurous selection of skewers, notably the Roasted Chicken Feet, Beef Aorta, and Fish Tofu skewers. These offerings showcase a rare but delightful appreciation for diverse textures and bold flavors, flame-charred over charcoal to achieve a perfect balance of smoky crispness and tender juiciness.

What truly sets Mi POPO BBQ apart is the harmony between their skewers and the accompanying handmade noodles and savory soups. The Creamy Beef Soup and Noodle Soup with Dumplings & Ribs offer depth and warmth, serving as a comforting foil to the smoky skewers. The Single Set Meals add an element of completeness to the dining experience—with options like the Lamb Organs Stir Fry paired with handmade noodles and tea that deliver both robust flavors and textural contrasts.

The standout from my visit was the grilled meat mixed rice. As echoed by customer 张静涵, the charcoal-grilled meat reveals a crisp exterior locked with succulent juices inside. Paired with aromatic rice and a velvety mayonnaise sauce that introduces a subtle sweetness and milky richness, this dish resonates as a true flavor symphony. The interplay of smoky, savory, and creamy elements keeps the palate engaged, inviting another helping almost instantly.

The handcrafted lemon tea deserves special mention—it’s a vibrant counterpoint to the barbeque intensity. Moderately sweet and tangy, its refreshing quality cleanses the palate, echoing Roxy XIE’s enthusiastic praise. It’s rare for a barbecue joint to deliver such a thoughtfully composed beverage that elevates the entire meal.

Mi POPO BBQ’s use of a small charcoal grill at the table enhances the interactive aspect of dining, allowing diners to slow down and enjoy each skewer at its peak temperature without compromise. The lamb skewers, in particular, burst with authentic spices and a tender bite, while the scallops with garlic vermicelli offer a delicate, rich seafood variation. The inclusion of baked cold noodles introduces a nostalgic twist reminiscent of traditional school gate snacks.

While some customers mention the pricing as moderate to high, the quality and uniqueness of ingredients justify the experience. Service is consistently attentive, enhancing the welcoming atmosphere. For anyone seeking genuine Chinese BBQ skewers with complementary handmade dishes and vibrant, refreshing drinks, Mi POPO BBQ is a compelling destination that satisfies both culinary curiosity and comfort food cravings.
