Ronny Putnins Communal Feasting with Friends
Generous portions and shareable platters like fondue dakgalbi make group dining easy and satisfying for pairs and friend gatherings alike.
Fondue Dakgalbi was sooooo delicious, kind staff, nice atmosphere. Two Koreans (my friend and I) are super satisfied and full…
Ashley Heo Novelty Drinks in Scientific Beakers
Unique offerings include novelty drinks like matcha makgeolli served in a laboratory beaker, alongside smoky table-torched angry octopus.
The matcha makgeolli was a pleasant surprise. It had a unique flavour, came in a generous serving, and was even served in a laboratory beaker, which made it a fun touch.
tong zhao Table-Torched Specialty Dishes
Dishes like the Angry Octopus set bring theater to the table, torched right in front of diners for authentic smoky char.
The octopus was torched at the table so it had that smoky charred flavour and the spicy sauce was super addictive.
Racheal Warming Comfort Broths and Noodles
Comforting homestyle bowls like kimchi udon offer deep, warming broths and perfectly textured noodles that revive diners on chilly Melbourne nights.
The Kimchi Udon was exactly what we needed on a cold night – the broth was warm, comforting, and full of flavour.
Mia Substantial Servings and Rich Flavours
Hearty seafood jjampong and noodle bowls arrive packed with substantial ingredients, generous enough to satisfy big appetites or split into multiple meals.
Honestly the portion was huge for the price and it could have fed me for 2 meals and I would still be stuffed.
