It tasted just like the Sundae Gukbap you eat in Korea. It's hard to get there without a car because it's far away, but I think it's the best soup restaurant in Melbourne.

- Combination of Pork and Soondae Soup
In a savory and deep pork broth without any odor.
There is plenty of lean pork and sundae, and it is topped with chives and perilla seed powder.
The soup is not seasoned, so you can season it with salt or salted shrimp to suit your taste.
Red dadaegi was served separately, and it was not spicy but salty.
It's best eaten with radish radish soup!

- Pork Hork (Jok bal)
Chewy pig's feet with a soft and sticky texture!
The seasoning was a lot saltier than I expected, but it was so delicious after a long time.

-Steamed Soondae
The texture is very soft and the skin is thin.
My liver was soggy, but my stomach and lungs were fine.

It was far from Melbourne City, so I decided to visit it and I liked it because it tasted similar to Korea.
The atmosphere was comfortable, like a Korean restaurant, and the store was small.
If you eat it at the store, you get unlimited refills of kkakdugi, so eat a lot!

This place didn't quite live up to the hype. Limited menu and the soup is overly porky.

Serving authentic Busan style pork soup. Reasonable price, generous portion, authentic taste. And a cup of hot coffee to finish to meal is a detail touch.

Amazing food
Authentically Korean pork soup
Season the soup yourself, add all the rice in and enjoy
Also the radish kimchi was amazing

Really authentic Korean food with limited menu. Frankly not to my taste especially when they used too much blood sausage

The pork soup is amazing! So much flavour in the broth and a generous amount of pork too. The pork belly slices were delicious too, everything was so delicious, highly recommended!

The most authentic Korean food I've ever had. This restaurant has only a few things on their menu, however I promise you everything they do is AMAZING and home made. Handsdown the best kimchi I've ever had and the cleanest soup broth! Keep up the great work.

If you have been to Korea and miss the authentic taste of Korean food, then you must go here, that first bite will bring back all those memories of when you were in Korea. The customer service the food everything feels exactly the same. Just wish there were more places closer to where I live but it worth the drive.

The food was not spectacular to warrent a 55 min line up on a Sunday night. Service was slow and $3 for a side dish refill way over the top.the pork soup was dissapointing and was not well prepared. Korean supermarket purchased pork feet way better for price. All in all dissapointing expearience for someone from Sydney. I have had lots of experience eating korean food.

My new fav restaurant! Love how they have a simple menu. Which means they're specialised in those 5 dishes. Absolutely loved the Jokbal and soup! Both was so flavourful and really gives off a homey vibe.
They're also very generous with the portion size!
Really reminds me of the taste when I went to Korea! Highly recommend!

Thumps up. Can say the foods are really traditional Korean street food. Also the radish kimchi and shrimp sauce are awesome.

So lucky to have this authentic korean near me, been there so many times, limited menus, but that also means less thinking what to get, we always order the same foods, always satisfied with the quality of food. Just be mindful the time you want to visit this place, the early the better, as the Q can be long.

So far one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve ever tried. Full of flavour and the pork knuckles were simply amazing, soft, juicy. The blood sausage and liver were also good.

Delicious soondae and pork soup, superb jokbal and just hearty, homemade food. One of our Weekends favorite food.

Good food, but very limited selection. Tried two of the three soups and a large serve of the pork belly, all very tasty! Restaurant space is limited, groups of larger than 4 would be hard to fit in.

Had my dinner here last night with my friend. We ordered the most of the menu. Everything was so delicious and I highly recommend the pork hock.
While my hav one is the blood sausage here. It’s quite cheap and the food is in a great amount.
Better arrive earlier otherwise will need to wait for the table.

So lucky to have this restaurant in Melbourne. I feel so happy whenever I have pork soup here. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

A hidden gem in a quiet location. It’s a small restaurant and gets packed very quickly, and it’s not unusual to find a queue outside. There are few options on the menu, all with pork in it. The soups are perfect and our favourites, especially on a cold winter day.

This place serves up some authentic homely Korean cuisine solely focusing on Pork as their protein. A simple menu, they serve Pork Soup and another Soon Dae (pork innards and giblets) Soup variant, and have 2 other large side dishes for sharing between 2-4 people.
When I went it was packed and unfortunately they don't accept bookings, so we were lining outside with other keen strangers for about 20 minutes before a table was available. The decor is simple but tidy. The staff were friendly but English is their second language so please be patient.
I've been here twice now, first time with friends the 2nd time I brought baby. Food was good on both occasions, the soup not as savoury the 1st time but there are condiments available at each table. Rice is served with each 'soup' dish and water (with a hint of rice tea?) is self serve.
The must try dish is the "Ham hock" suggested for parties of 3 or more. Otherwise the 'steamed pork belly' would be more suite to 2-3 people.
Will definitely come here again.
