Pretty decent food, good soondae soup and side dish. The stir fry pork is a bit clumpy, but portion sizes were good. Price was good too.
We did smell an unpleasant wet towel smell towards the end of our meal, place might need better ventilation.

The food portions are large, especially Beef soup. can be for four. The kimchi pancakes and fried chicken are very crispy. Steam egg is very soft.
We came here because the line for Yeodongsik was too long and we didn’t wanna wait. We got a table pretty quick once we got here.
There’s plenty of options on their menu and they all looked very tempting. We decided to go for bulgogi beef hotpot, kimchi pancake and stirred fried pork rice for sharing.
Food was served pretty quick and the server was attentive to us. We were amazed at how big the portion of the hotpot was. We could barely finish it as the portion of the other two dishes was huge too.
Kimchi pancake was my favorite as it wasn’t spicy at all! However, I found it less flavorful if I didn’t dip it in the sauce that came with it. It’s got the nice texture but they could improve on the taste.
I liked the stirred fried pork better compared with bulgogi beef. The pork was more flavorful with its sauce. Bulgogi beef was dull in comparison as it didn’t have much taste to it. Moreover, I didn’t like overcooked beef in hotpot. The good thing about the hotpot was it came with heaps of veggie which I liked.
We were all disappointed with the bulgogi beef and we had a lot of leftover for takeaway. Overall it’s a not bad experience for me and the price was decent given the portion.

I had Budae jjigae( Army stew) with my friend it was pretty good. The soup was thick and deep , we really enjoyed it however just ordered a small size. It is pretty big for two people.
Probably like many other patrons, came here because the line Yeodongsik was too long. But! Was not disappointed at all! This place is a very humble and homely small Korean restaurant with very authentic flavours and good value for money. Whilst it is largely self-service and it can be a bit noisy, the food more than makes up for it. Probably the first time I got more food than expected.
Ginseng Chicken Soup
Flavour: SS+, 9.5/10. Authentic and delicious. Haven't had many in Sydney but this was pretty close to Korea
Consistency: SS, 9/10. A bit thick from the rice stuffing which was nice
Chicken: S+, 8.5/10. Overall very good though some parts a bit chewy
Value: SS, 9/10. $24 for a whole chicken??!
Sizzling octopus
Flavour: SS+, 9.5/10. Very well balanced chilli, soy and charred flavours. Haven't had a better one yet!
Texture: SS, 9/10. Chewy octopus and soft veg
Value: SS, 9/10. $23 but comes with rice, a small soybean stew and they gave us a small plate of beef bulgogi (which was delicious)
Spicy pork soybean stew
Flavour: A, 7/10. The one let down. Probably an acquired taste, but the soybean in this was very pungent and overwhelming
Consistency: A, 7/10. Quite thick and almost gravy like. Probably more enjoyable if I liked the flavours
Value: A, 7/10. $22 for a very hearty stew

Found this place from Youtube review.
Yes, it was good food…
Ordered:
• Pork Bone Hang Over Stew 뼈해장국 $22 comes with a bowl of rice
• Kimchi Pancake 김치전 $21
• Buckwheat (Cold) Noodle 물냉면 $18
And they’ll serve you with side dishes they have available at that time.
Note: I don’t usually mix my food. And if you’re like me, you must mix the stew before eating. Otherwise you wouldn’t enjoy it.
Water is self-serve from a dispenser. They don’t have bottles for water.
…but whilst and after eating here, I feel thirsty all the time. (If you know what that means, you know. And if you don’t mind that, you should try their food.) 😉

You know it’s authentic Korean food when all the customers are Korean and the staff can’t really speak English…. Amazing food! The jokbal portion was HUGE esp for $55, the plate took up almost half the table. We also loved the chicken feet, side dishes and seafood pancake. The seafood tofu soup recommended to us was a bit too salty and the waitress couldn’t communicate with us but she tried really hard and we definitely enjoyed the overall experience.
