Delicious noodles and rice cakes at a really great and affordable price. Highly recommend the kimchi fried rice.

Too many mistakes. They wanted to review my entre order by video while my main dish was getting cold on my table.
1st mistake; I asked for a glass when we arrived as I had a bottle of wine. They said it would be plastic. Then they said it will be glass if I pay $2. I agree and pay. Then they didn't bring it. I had to go to ask for it again.
2nd; my wife's drink didn't come. I had to ask for it again.
3rd; my main meal arrived before the entre.
4th; the wrong entre arrived.
5th; they showed an order printed by their register. I had not seen it before and did not have a copy.
6th; they said I ordered the wrong entre.
The customer is always right?
They eventually brought the correct entre after we had finished our main.
The food was good.

Not having been to the area we were looking for dinner for 2 on the way home. I am normally quite a big eater and this place more than satisfied me although I wasn't really super hungry. For context yes I polished off a 900gm steak and sides. The Korean food was excellent though I am no expert. The meals were great value and the service was really good.

Best authentic Korean food south of the city. Cozy, quick and delicious!
Here at least once a month. Can’t get enough.

The recommended restaurant and the taste surprised me. The price is moderate, and the waiters are very friendly. If you go to this restaurant, you must try this soup, super yum yum

I eat here once in a while as it's close to campus. The food quality has declined substantially. I ordered the kimchi pork soup but I hardly found any slide of pork.

So disappointed. Food is too blend. I had Kimchi jjigae, K&B chicken and Kimbab. I don't understand why they put noodle in Kimchi jjigae. Chicken is not yum. Kimbab, I think they didn't put enough salt and sesame oil in rice. I wasted my $50.

Authentic and deliciously made Korean dish. Also good value for money as it’s close to Monash Uni.

It's ok. The place has a good selection of Korean foods, from your standard Bibibap to other ones like the Black Bean Noodles. The vibe of the place is good (for the area) but the flavours of the food whilst very large in portion were just not hitting for me. A bit on the bland/simpler side.

We ordered sizzling pork and sizzling beef for a total of 41 dollars. Very disappointed in the quality of the meat. It feels like frozen meat that has been inside the fridge for years. We could barely finish our meals. Terrible food quality, won’t come back.

The kimbab is DELICIOUS! And also the kimchi jiggae is OUTSTANDINGG! Really recommend this place for a good eating experience. The food makes me and my friend really happy, dance, and sing!

Food is great and staff is attentive. One negative is they charge $2 for plain water whereas everywhere else gives water out for free.

They should change this as their food prices are already high. No wonder a lot of patrons didn't order any drinks or water.

Friendly staff, good reasonably priced food and lowish wait time despite the restaurant looking really busy all the time. Can't complain

Great location, just next to Caulfield Station. Food was very good. My favourite dishes are the bibimbab, octopus rice bowl and the octopus special soup. Only disappointed thing is they don’t have kimchi as condiments, you have to ask for it. But would highly recommend this place for the authenticity of Korean food.

After many years of not coming to the place I thought I would like to remember the good old uni days when I was still a student in Monash so I went and eat here last night to see if they place is still relatively good.

Starting with an unfriendly greeting from the owner, no smile and very bossy. He then proceed to ask for our vaccination proofs, there are 2 of us. We showed the vaccination proofs to him but he was not satisfied. He demanded that we check in. It was fine with us, my partner went did it and he kept looking at me and was not happy that I did not pick up my phone to do the check in. My partner then explain to him that he could just do the check in for the both of us. He was UNHAPPY!

This man has some serious ATTITUDE problem and very demanding. We observed that he seemed to be friendly towards others but not to us. Maybe if you are not Korean he is a RACIST. He also did not demand vaccination or check in proofs on other people but very persistent on us. We are Asian but not Korean. He treated us DIFFERENTLY for sure.

Then the food came. Very bland. Given the options that we have currently with Korean food scene in Melbourne. I think this place is one of the worst Korean food we have eaten so far. During the uni days like I am taking 8 years ago they seemed to be less arrogant and did better quality food. We think this place has changed for the worse. Maybe change of management too I am not sure.

Will not recommend this place as there many other options for much better serviced Korean food here in Melbourne and around the area.

Really great dishes and very affordable. I particularly love their kimbap and one of the most authentic ones I have tried outside of South Korea. Their kimchi pancake is also very good and overall they have fast service.
