GoodOvening Korean Chicken Restaurant

Restaurant is underground, no mobile internet. However, there was only one option to order over the QR code. Staff did not take oder even when we ask. Food is extremely expensive

Didn’t expect the fire flamevery nice spicy baby octopus and pork belly hot pork! Love the interior design and vibe!

Classic Korean street food (‘Pocha’) tucked away on Queen St, with indoor and cosy decorated outdoor seating under a tent - felt transported to the streets of Seoul!

The highlights were dishes that are not commonly seen at Korean restaurants - spicy marinated cartilage and soul-restorative clam soup. You even get charry bits of cartilage mixed with cabbage and seaweed rice ball! The mixed clam stew was packed with mussels, scallops, clams, prawns, and a whole octopus tentacle! It was recommended to share between two, but definitely a big enough portion to share in a group - also optional to add udon/ potato noodles.

Went to Namsan on Saturday night food was decent, and served very promptly. Especially enjoyed the spicy pork and calamari, as well as the fried chicken. Seafood pancake was not very crispy, could be better.

Service was great as well for the most part, but I couldn’t help noticing that only two staff was serving food and cleaning most of the tables. I feel bad that they seem overworked without much help from the rest of their colleagues. They were really friendly to us and kept checking on us, but one of the staff (not uniformed) was just staying at the counter without having any help while the two are overworking.

The atmosphere there was really vibey and it’s a great place to enjoy dinner with friends and family, I would definitely recommend this to other!

Love the vibe of this place; it's like the style of a Korean pocha with a cozy tent outside.

We ordered:
Sausage army stew with noodles
Sweet chilli chicken
Unagi eel sizzling
Seasoned rice balls
Corn-cheese

The food was delicious, and the servings were generous; it's perfect for sharing. I also love that the staff is so friendly and helpful, even the place is very busy.

: Have you had authentic Korean food before? Can’t say no to a Korean feast on a cold Friday night like this.

: Feast on Korean fried chicken, cheesy tteokbokki and yuuki beef with egg yolk. End the meal with some cute Korean ice cream as well.

The vibe was nice, and it would be a good place for chicken and beer or hangout spot. The food was okay gizzards was good but tonkatsu dish was a bit lacking.

Chill pojangmacha vibes
$19 soju rip - coming from Sydney, I haven't seen soju prices over $18 lol
*beware online menu is outdated (prices and items are quite different)
food & service overall is very average
carbonara kfc is grossly overrated - it tastes exactly as u would think, but the selling point is that I've never seen this menu item anywhere else
soy garlic kfc - decent, comes with radish kimchi and leafy greens
banchan is minimal

if u really love cheesy chicken, it's worth a visit, if not - pass lol

idgi how is this place so popular

Authentic Korean food and vibes… the restaurant has so many varieties of good food perfect for everyone’s needs. They have classic favourite, and hot pot which is perfect for sharing. The have meats ~ beef, pork and chicken and seafood too. Love their fried chicken gizzard the most, it was tender with crispy coating and very tasty. Their Tteokbokki was good too, spiced and flavoured just nicely.

Food is very good and the price is very reasonable compared to the food quality. Also you can feel the vibe of korean food street. Highly recommend

Service was very friendly and welcoming. The original fried chicken was crispy and juicy. Soy garlic fried chicken was average. Stir fried potato noodles and tofu+kimchi would taste even better with reduced sweetness. It was pretty cosy to sit outside in winter. Toilet was located in another building which is pretty hard to find. No table booking accepted and there was a long queue during dinner time. Best to come during their opening hour.

Spicy squid salad, Chung-ha korean Sake, spicy pork and calamari stone sizzling!
Fresh and delicious, friendly and quick service!
Cozy little hide out venue!
Seatings available inside and outside with Marquees set up at the front with a summer vibe!
Wheel chair access but entrance is on a slope so be careful.
Price competitive and servings were generous. Not exactly a peaceful quiet and relaxing venue as the music volume was up high, popular with students and alike!

Disappointing experience. Food was average and low value for the price.
Lots of sugar, no side dishes and no rice included
Review rating is misleading I wouldn't recommend this place it should be 3 stars or less

Ordered the army stew noodles and the garlic soy fried chicken and it was amazing! Staff were also very friendly. I will definitely come back again to this place to try more of their food.

Wanted to like it, but have to say that I found it overpriced for its value. They mark up the soju so much! The army stew was pretty decent, but again overpriced and the serving size was actually not enough for two people.

Ordered soy garlic fried chicken and the kimchi cold noodle.

Cold noodle was cold but the noodles were soft and not of the chewy starch type.

Fried chicken wasn’t piping hot. Could eat straight away without waiting. Wasn’t crispy under the sauce. Feels like it was pre-fried, reheated slightly and the covered in sauce.

The flavours were ok but much better options for Korean food in the CBD.

This restaurant has really yummy food.
We ordered chicken in cheese, the cheese was really melted and stretchy.
The noodles (I don’t know what they’re called) are really good, as well, a bit greasy though.

The one thing I’m a bit disappointed about is there are no restrooms.
Yes, you heard me, there’s no restrooms inside the restaurant.
They would give you a key tag to go to another building with a hidden restroom behind a big screen.
You have to tap the key tag SO MANY times. It was like an endless maze.
For the males’ toilets, it was only one tap to get in.
For the females’ toilets, it was two taps to get in.
It takes a quiet long time to get in, and it’s not good for the people who really need to go.

I love this place! The outdoor area make you feel like you're in a K-drama. The food was excellent. I recommend asking them to separate the carbonara sauce from the fried chicken so U can dip it cause it might get soggy after a while!

I got the bulgogi and the carbonara chicken! It was really good.

Got the army stew and seafood pancake on our last night in Melb. Both were superb, definitely exceeded expectations.

This place is awesome. Great selection and great food! Korean Fried Chicken to die for!

The portions are good and fill you up. Atmosphere is also lively and staff are welcoming

I can't wait to come back again!
