Sunday Korean BBQ Lunch with Radiant Women - Ringwood 3134 🌸

Sun, Aug 2, 2:00 AM
From Radiant Women Over 50 Coffee & Friendship Melbourne

Recently, my friends Jina and Joy discovered a Korean BBQ restaurant in Ringwood. They were so impressed by the quality of the food, the freshness of the ingredients, and how clean and welcoming the restaurant was. After hearing them rave about it, I thought it would be lovely for our Radiant Women group to get together and enjoy a relaxing Sunday lunch. Would you like to join us? ( The all-you-can-eat lunch is about $50 per person. Everyone can pay for their own meal.) Lyn 💕
