Itaewon Place

Amazing Korean food. We don't live close and we keep coming back for the fried chicken.

We had trouble trying to find a place to eat and luckily stumbled upon The Northside Food Hall. We shared two bowls, one chicken and one beef. Both were great in every way. I'll happily go back.

Loved the food. But when I attempted to purchase a drink from the vendor for dine in, I was told I had to purchase from the bar. When the bar didn't have Pepsi Max, they went to the vendor to obtain to sell to me. The weirdest set-up

If only Google offered half stars, I would've given this place 4.5 stars. The staff were super friendly and even came out to us with our meals. We didn't need to return back to the counter with our buzzers. Itaewon Place is situated within a food hall with a nice chilled out vibe inside and outside. Unfortunately you can't buy drinks as you have to buy all your beverages at the bar. The best Korean chicken in the area - crispy, big sizes and juicy. The boneless chicken wasn't too dry; wings were a winner - had a light, slightly sweet batter. Highly recommend Korean Spicy and sweet sauce

Everything is amazing, especially the fried chicken and Korean tacos. We are so lucky to have this gem close by. *Chefs kiss*

Best beef bulgogi Bibimbap outside of Korea. Also, their Korean fried chicken was on fire Cripsy and Juicy! Thanks guys.

Food was okay, but tables were a bit dirty and we were constantly disturbed by (whom we believe) is the owner or manager of the place, kept walking back and fourth talking to all the store owners loudly, we couldn't really enjoy with our group of friends

Other than that, not much variety here in terms of food, better places to go

If you want absolutely delicious fusion Korean/Mexican food, this is the place! The flavours are amazing; everything is fresh and the portions are generous. Highly recommended!

Wow. Ok, so I used to be a frequent bibimbap eater. Love the combination of flavours. But for some odd reason I haven't had it for years. But thanks to Itaewon Place, that has changed. Man that was sooo good. Super tasty and filling. I had the spicy pork, not super spicy, but just perfect for the combination of flavours. (Don't forget to mix it all up!)
Friendly people behind the counter and super tasty food. I can't wait to try other stuff. Thanks!

I was looking for Korean restaurant near by my place. Amazing service (Very friendly) and food. Foods we ordered (Bibimbob, Gimchi Pancake, Fried chicken) were fantastic!

The 5 star rating is well deserved. Really friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. Cannot recommend highly enough!

This place deserves more than 5 stars! I was here today with a friend and ordered a chicken and fries bowl. The guy was on his break when we were ordering but took some time out to take my order. That was very kind, I honestly wouldn't have minded if he said he finished his lunch first, but it was very good customer service nonetheless.

When I saw my Fried Chicken and Chips coming to the table I was jaw dropped! These days it's so hard to find good value for money, but this place is so generous and the quality is so damn good.

I can't believe it, this will be a regular for me

Thank you guys!

We did pork tacos, chicken wings with hot sauce on the sauce called emotional damage. Awesome awesome.

Friendly staff, delicious food.
As a feedback, It would be nice to have dishes that contain soup in it.

A girl called lamija recommended this place to us, and we do not regret it such good food and service

Loved loved loved the cheesy kimchi balls. The chicken was amazing- crunchy on the outside and juicy in the middle. The honey soy sauce was so moreish. Also had the loaded fries with nori and truffle aioli- YUMMMMMM. Friendly staff with great knowledge of the food. Can’t wait to come back.

This restaurant is so good, you don't have to wait that long and it's so delicious and really fills up your stomach also the costumer service was pretty awesome and they were all so kind especially one called lamia

OMG LET ME TELL YOU THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD MAN LIKE THE STAFF ARE SO NICE (especially this girl lamija she is so sweet and helpful definitely should I get a raise) AND FOOD IS GOOD shout to the owners

Ordered the Korean Bowls (1 Chicken, 1 Tofu) from here. Really tasty food. Good fried chicken, zesty sauces and salads/vegies were fresh. Friendly couple running the business. Good size serve appropriate for $20 per bowl price

I lived in Korea for years. Say goodbye to the airy, fatty “Korean fried chicken” (Gami, Nene, even Chimac) we usually find in Melbourne. Itaewon Place is the real deal - the stuff that you find in Seoul and hold as the benchmark when you get back to Melbourne and realise that we don’t have enough Koreans here.

Bibi (owner) has a vision for Korean food in this town which I hope will become the new standard. Top marks for the chicken, but I cannot forget how perfect the tacos were too. And since it’s been rainy lately, we tried the kimchi pancakes - next time the weather is inclement make sure to do the same.

Good luck to you guys. You are the hero Melbourne needs!
