CHAE

Simply amazing! Great concept with great hosts. The food was amazing. If you can win a booking definitely a must.

Firstly, I felt blessed to be selected (from many!) in the reservation draw, and then have the opportunity to go for Xmas eve lunch was perfect timing. Set amongst the beautiful Cockatoo scenery, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Yet there is also anticipation to try the delicate, refined and uniquely fermented Korean meals and drinks … Even the palate cleanser was a work of art. Thank you again!

Heart warming home cooking food, CHAE provides unique dining experience, and I learnt the depth of Korean food.

What an extraordinary experience to enjoy the collaboration between Chae and Supernormal. I finally understood the hype of Chae. They were hearty, homey and delicious. I eat Korean food all the time but her kimchi, bossam, ssamjang and sauces were so unique. Those were the homemade flavours you can’t get from normal stores. I kept refilling the kimchi and radish because they were too moreish. My other favourite was the buckwheat noodles. I only complain is they gave too little The meal was clean, solid and well executed. However 130pp is slightly on the pricey end imo.

My very first time having a fine dining experience, and it definitely has set the bar quite high for the next ones. Chae was very accommodating and made us feel welcome at her place. The experience itself was worth to brag for, hence no wonder people are killing for the spots. Will surely be back in the future!

It was a wonderful experience - every dish and drink were delicious and wholesome! I love that all the kimchi, condiment, sauces and even drinks were homemade, i also loved the attentive service from Chae and Yoora which made us feel so welcomed in their home!

Amazing food - beautifully flavoured and presented. Feels as if you’ve been invited to a lovely dinner by a friend (Let’s be honest, I want Chae to be my friend and invite me to dinner all the time:).

WOW! Our best Korean dining experience to date. Chae and Yoora have done an amazing job with making this dining experience one we’ll never forget. Food like no other, the best expression of Korean food we’ve ever had! Thank you so much

Owners Chae and Yoora have created an intimate dining experience nestled in the hills of the Dangenong Ranges. The setting is calm, minimalist and warm. Although the food is simple, delicious and conveys the wholesome quality of a home cooked meal. It is evident how much time, preparation, effort and thought has been spent in order to culminate such an experience.

Thank you Chae and Yoora for being incredibly welcoming, attentive and humble. It was a truly unique experience!

Owners are so lovely! Great experience and food was

Thank you Chae & Yoora for a great experience.

Beautiful food.
From start to finish, very accomodating, well presented. Cleanliness. Very attentive to customers and the quality of the food.
I enjoyed every bit of it. The experience and the taste was amazing! I’m so glad I got a booking here. We had it at the Lincoln as part of the pop up until renovations at the cockatoo complete. We would love to come back some time and visit around the area of cockatoo. Thank you so much for having us, the food was amazing and great attention to detail.

I can’t describe it in a way that does justice to chef Jung Eun philosophy on food. She has a passion to share Korean culture with Australia and is doing so in a way that pays homage to imperial dining and her parents. Homemade fermented produces, condiments and sauces feature in every dish, ingredients including her mum’s home made oil makes its way from Korea to Melb.

You won’t find the normal k-town restaurant staples here, come for an experience. Menu changes monthly.

Note: getting a ticket to this restaurant is extremely coveted, it booked out in the matter of minutes when we got our seating, but don’t let that detract or distract from the story here

Everything on the plate is done with a forward thinking intention and delicacy. Very intimate and private dining experience.

Love this Korean Fine dining place, the chef made most ingredients herself including soy sauce.
Everything are well presented with delicate flavours.we enjoy the experience very much Thank you.
