Large venue for Korean food and was quite busy. They have an upstairs and downstairs section, and the food was really good. Only reason for the 4 star was that there was only 1 person upstairs serving all the people so it was a bit hard to grab their attention, otherwise their food was excellent.

Awesome Korean food restaurant, you get to order all the common Korean dishes here, including the standard bbq/marinated meats. There's vegetarian options as well for the bibimbap and japchae. I really love the japchae, super glossy and peppery! Servers are very friendly and helpful with recommendations.

The food was tasty and fresh. However, the seafood pancake was expensive at $18 for 3 mini pancakes. At other places, you'd get a full size seafood pancake for that price.

Coming up to the venue noticing the word 'Oriental' in the name honestly left me and my partner with different expectations on food & cuisine.

It was when we saw the menu and had the first lot of dishes delivered that we knew we had landed the right place to sate our Korean BBQ cravings, and boy they didn't disappoint!

Food: Menu selection had plenty of variety, the marinated meat bbq combo proved to be great value for $52 delivering round 600g of meat, in addition recommend the kimchi pancake as this was a unique and delicious style compared to others. Overall very content over the quality!

Service: Highly rated, staff was very attentive and welcoming, offering to assist with the Korean BBQ to ensure the food was cooked just right for top enjoyment.

Price: Very reasonable comparative to other Korean BBQs, if not perhaps better value.

Overall, would definitely come again!

My boyfriend and I had lunch here after running errands and we had sweet soy fried chicken - half ($22), japchae ($17) and beef bulgogi with rice ($22). My boyfriend liked the fried chicken - it was very flavourful. Bulgogi was really good but the bean sprouts in it tastes funny. And for japchae, it was flavourful and saucy but too oily.

If you're not into sweet, don't order the bulgogi and japchae as they are on the sweet side rather than savoury.

Staffs are commendable! They are very approachable and attentive. They checked on us every now and then and asked if we needed more side dishes.

Don't worry if you can't finish your food because you can take it home and only cost 50 cents for the container.

All in all, I liked the experience. Prices are reasonable and servings are big.

One of my favourite Korean joints to eat drink and just have a good time the barbecue is amazing as well as the hotpot.

I’ve been here twice with my partner and both times we were greeted and treated with exceptional service. The food is always delicious as well as being cheap for a korean bbq place. Definitely recommend!

Had this for the first time with my girlfriend. From being greeted by the lovely staff to the bite of the most juiciest pork belly and mouth watering beef bulgogi. The service here was amazing. The staff are so kind and polite, always making sure we were okay. They had a large variety of bbq options, entree, and plenty of main dishes. Good price for 2, defs will come back!

The place was PACKED during Sunday dinner rush, but food and drinks came out promptly. Food was delicious! Also, hats off to Joy and MJ who were practically carrying the whole first floor team with their professionalism and speed. Didn’t have any cash to tip them, so if the owner is reading this: I don’t know what you’re paying them, but they definitely deserve a raise. Thanks for a great night!

Great service staff, with a robotic service cart to entertain the kids.

The side dish selections are on the lower end compared to competitors, but has the staples. Very enjoyable experience overall.

First time having Korean BBQ, and for the most part, this was a fantastic first experience! Staff were incredibly helpful, service was quick too. The menu was reasonably priced, especially the drinks menu.can't go wrong with cocktails under $10.

However, it was a little stuffy being up on the first floor, and a lack of ventilation meant that the room smelled very strongly of smoke. I found too that the floor was ridiculously sticky (as bad as a nightclub!), and I avoided the toilet after being recommended to by a friend who decided to go in.

All in all though, I can look past smoke and the sticky floor when the food and the service was top tier. Will definitely be coming back!

Great food, great price and great services. Not a 5 because the vent doesnt work that well on second floor and also the floor itself feels like it's gonna collapse everytime some walks nearby

We ordered the ox tongue which came overcook as they cook your food for you, the oxtoungue that was given to us was very chewy.when we provided feedback we were told that because the part of the oxtoungue that they use us chewy and it is how it was meant to be. The pork belly was overcooked and chewy as well. I believe they used either frozen or low quality meats.

Don't waste your money. Go to Being or Guhng, much better

Amazing staff members, observant and made sure all your needs are met. Food quality was excellent, well flavoured and superbly cooked. Plenty of sitting, spacious and comfortable. Price is extremely reasonable and one of the best Korean restaurants in Melbourne.

The rice noodles is really delicious, highly recommended! BBQ are just ok (The flavor of meat is quite normal, like other Korean restaurants, which do not have a very prominent taste) but banchan are good! The staffs are very nice
