This place is seriously good. Right on the corner next to the mall were Coles supermarket is, it has a nice breezy dining space with good views of both Boundary and Melbourne Streets. Staff are cheerful and friendly. It seems to be run by a Korean family who decided to be really, really good at italian food. They certainly know how to manage a pizza, but the pasta is the king. Generous servings and perfectly executed sauces. They do fully authentic italian sauces, and also have a selection of Korean-meets-Italian sauces if you'r'e up for a bit of an adventure. (Mostly hits, a couple of misses). Highly recommended!

I love how they mix little bit of Korean taste into italian cusine. The one I had, rib pasta, was beautifully blanded with spiciness but still creamy enough. The atmosphere is great, staffs are very helpful and friendly, and they also have great drinks range. Price are reasonable so I can't compliment enough! I usually thought pasta from any restaurant is over-priced but this place totally changed my thoughts. Highly recommended!

Came on a weekday night, the place was rather busy, but the service was quite quick. With wooden furniture and dimmed light, the place was cozy.

Ordered the Honey Soy Fried Chicken; it tasted great. Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside; coated with the flavourful sauce. Also ordered the Gorgonzola Pizza that was served with honey as the dipping sauce. The pizza was delicious and unique, but the portion size was rather small. Additionally, I also grabbed the Rib Cream Pasta that was tasty and creamy.

I might come back in the future.

We have been recommended by a local friend to come here, well I must say the food is really good here! We love it so much, worth the time to purposely drop by 😂
We ordered:
# Red cream pasta
# Pesto cream pasta
# Chilli potato chips
# Scallop potatoes
# Chicken wings
The best is the red cream pasta!
If we are back. we will for sure be back for more!

Usually with fusion food you hope that you get the best of both worlds; Falalalah does Korean-Italian fusion and I reckon they've hit the jackpot with this marriage of cuisines. I chose this venue for a group dinner (church camp committee debrief/thank you), and pre-ordered food to share.

We had:
* Korean bulgogi pizza, $18 - sweet soy marinated beef, bacon, onion, mushroom, capsicum, teriyaki sauce
* prawn & sweet potato pizza, $18 - prawn, pineapple, sweet potato puree
* Deutsche Welle pizza, $18 - sausage, salami, bacon, onion, mushroom, capsicum, honey mustard, picked cabbage
* seafood oil pesto pasta, $19 - prawn, mussel, clam, squid, falalalah-made basil pesto, pepperoncini, rocket, garlic, onion
* Korean style deep fried chicken, sweet chilli half + honey soy half, $16 each
* side options for the fried chicken: garden salad $3, potato chips $3.50, sweet potato chips $4

Standouts for me were the bulgogi and the prawn & sweet potato pizzas. I also quite liked the chunky sweet potato chips. Definitely keen for more of these, though I also want to explore their pasta range a bit more. Hope to return soon with some other friends who are keen to visit 😋

Food was great. I’m a really big eater but honestly I was more than satisfied with my bowl of pasta and shared one pizza with a friend. Pasta sauce was thick and flavourful while the pasta was cooked perfectly. Will be back for sure. Waiters are friendly too

Revisited this cozy restaurant a few days ago, after days and days of eating here after school last year! I can see that it is still very popular and the last few times I came, it was all booked out! Needless to say, the pasta here never disappoints - always so rich and full of flavour. We also tried the honey soy chicken and it was delicious.

Menu prices did go up since last year with the portion sizes decreasing significantly. I wish that they were a bit more generous with the noodle servings so that I can finish all the delicious sauce left on my plate!

We had just come from the Night Noodle Markets with a friend, which left us so unsatisfied (overpriced and overrated!). We decided then to look for Korean Fried Chicken and ended up at Falalalah. It was our first time to visit and shared a platter of Snow Chicken ($22) between 3 people. We were expecting it to arrive with powdered flavouring, but ended up covered in a homemade onion sauce & onion slices. Unexpected, but still pretty good! We will have to come back next time to try the other dishes on the menu.

We ate at Falalalah on an unusually cold evening. We asked to be seated inside & the waitress put the heating up. The food was filling and good value. My husband had the Korean Bulgogi pizza, which he said was very tasty. I had mushroom risotto, which was not like an Italian risotto, but that didn’t matter as it was delicious. We also shared a lightly dressed Caprese salad, which was well balanced.

I have always loved coming here for pastas. It was my first time trying their pizza too and it was AMAZING. I ordered the potato bacon pizza with onion sauce on top. Onion sauce was so good, I’d recommend anyone trying it.
Only rated 4 stars because food was great but service was a bit slow. Sat down for around 10 mins before a staff could notice that we wanted to order.

I’d been to Falalah a few times before but had never ordered the pasta. It was a rainy and cold day, so my best friend and I decided that a bowl of hot pasta sounded like paradise.

I ordered the chicken pesto cream pasta, my dining companion ordered the meat tomato and we ordered some sweet potato fries to share.

I really liked my pasta, the sauce wasn’t too creamy and had a good pesto flavour. There was plenty of garlic in the sauce and I appreciated that! The rocket added a nice peppery flavour to the meal. The chicken wasn’t dry and was quite juicy, largely because it looked to be thigh meat. The Turkish bread was a nice accompaniment and was helpful in mopping up leftover sauce. My dining companion really liked their pasta as well.

The sweet potato fries were good but could have had a bit more seasoning. I didn’t really enjoy the sweet potato dip that accompanied the dish. It was a bit too sweet and didn’t really flatter the chips when paired together. The potatoes looked to be quite pale on the inside, but upon closer inspection they seemed to be Japanese sweet potatoes (purple skin, pale flesh).

The interiors of Falalah are pretty interesting, I like that they have both an outside and inside area to sit. I would imagine that the outside is really nice in Summer or with a hot drink in Winter. Some of the menu items also had Korean influences and I would really like to see how items like ‘Korean Bulgolgi Rissotto’ would taste.

I would recommend coming here, the staff are extremely friendly and the food is really good! The pasta dishes are also quite inexpensive compared to restaurants who serve similar things. Next time I’m in West End, I’d love to come for breakfast and experience what Falalalah has to offer. Enjoy 😊

Pretty crowded on a Friday evening but service was efficient and friendly. Love their fusion of Korean and Western cuisine. Their bulgogi pizza is interesting and unique. Their pastas and pizzas are also very delicious. Fried chicken is also worth trying!

I meant to visit the Cafe 63 located near West End Market this morning. While I was walking to the cafe, my gaze was caught by this eye-catching cafe just across the road from Cafe 63 so gave it a go. Honestly, ambience gave me a relaxed feeling and the prompt and friendly services from the wait-staff stand for the meaning of real hospitality service. Ordered a flat white and tried the egg in the hole. Well, coffee came to table very quick with nice presentation. First sip gave me a good punch to kick-start the motivation for the coming heavy workload. In addition, extra marks are deserved when the egg in the hole was on my table. It looks great with good creation just y simple modification. Cut a hole from a thick white bread and cooked a sunny egg inside the hole with good quality bacon and plenty of rockets for just $8.00 I am speechless and cannot find any fault here. Wish the whole team have a Happy New Year! Cheers! 🎅🎉👍

Had lunch here at this nice Korean/Italian fusion sort of scene. Definitely enjoyed the cozy settings and vibes at this place. Ordered the Rib cream pasta and Chicken cream pesto. Reasonable pricing at $13 and $15, the servings were generous too. The staff members were friendly. So far i’ve only tried the pastas, but would come back again to try the pizzas and other options available on the menu. I did see a couple or so tables ordering pizza, keen to try it next time.

Everytime I've been here the service has always been fantastic and the ambience is cozy and inviting. The portion sizes are huge! I can never finish the pasta and anytime I bring my friends they love this place. 
I've had the rib cream pasta, potato & bacon + veg pizzas  and my friends have enjoyed the pastas (chicken carbonara, chicken pesto), pizzas and risottos and they've all enjoyed their meals. It's simple food that's comforting and for the price you really can't go wrong. I recommend checking out Falalalah.

This restaurant has a great relaxed atmosphere and the food is just as good. Try some of their unique fusion dishes such as the Korean bulgogi pizza. The wings are also on point. Don't forget to check out their dessert window as I cannot recommend their macarons enough. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I recommend trying the Earl grey as well as the sesame one.

This place serves Koreanized western food. If you are looking for authentic Italian or Australian dishes go elsewhere. That said, quite a few dishes here are great and reasonably priced. I enjoy the spicy pastas and the diavola or gorgonzola pizzas.

Big size! Good value. But the deep fried chicken is not good at all, won’t recommend. It tastes like the oil they used is very bad. There is one Korean restaurant in City called momo chicken is much better than here, for the deep fried chicken. But pizza is quite good, just a little bit sweet for me.

I was honestly shocked at how disgusting the pizza we ordered was. The description said that it was a German pizza, with sausages and sauerkraut. The sauerkraut was honest to god awful. Now, I've been to Germany. I've tasted actual German sauerkraut. This didn't even meet the standards of 'cheap imitation'. It was like they had taken cabbage and soaked it in a solution with vinegar for three years,  then added a metric ton of sugar on top of it. I don't even know how you can mess up sauerkraut that badly.

Even the rest of the pizza was just not very good. The pizza base was thin, but not the gourmet-pizza thin - but rather bought-a-wrap-from-Coles thin. Not to mention, it was tasteless and desperately needed more cheese. So, even without the horror that was the sauerkraut, I would be thoroughly unimpressed with the pizza, especially considering how much it cost. I would rather eat a pizza from  Dominoes (not even PizzaHut!!).

FWIW I had the chicken risotto before and it was okay. I wouldn't be rushing to get it again though. My friends were relatively satisfied with their meals (the burger and various pastas). The housemade sparkling grape ade (pictured) wasn't bad either, albeit more bitter than I expected.

TLDR; Pizza 0/5, other food 3-4/5

Falalalah is one of my favourite restaurants for pasta in Brisbane! The carbonara here is so consistently delicious every time, and it isn’t too pricey either. I’ve always had awesome dining experiences every time I sit down for a meal in this picturesque little restaurant and this is always my first choice when I’m craving some comfort food. My only point of improvement would be offering spice levels for the rib cream pasta because it isn’t always consistent - I’ve had it a few times where it was perfect, but most recently it was spicier than usual and made it hard to eat.

If you’re sitting down for a meal with friends, definitely get some chips to share!

This is a really nice place for dining in for a brunch or simply taking away with a cup of coffee. The location is in the center of West End and near both bus and train station, so should be easy to find.

I got a blueberry pancake and a cup of latte. I love the combination of sweet and fruity taste from syrup and blueberry on the pancake, but it might be a bit too sweet for people who were not keen on sweet dish. The latte matched well with the pancake.

The environment is comfortable and cozy as well. Decorations are lovely. There are both half-outdoor and indoor seats, which should be able to suit different needs.

Here we have the Korean Bulgogi Cheddar pizza, Chicken Bacon Carbonara pasta and Meat Tomato pasta. Servings were big, but taste wise it was okay. The carbonara was a little too creamy, and the meat tomato was on the sweet side (wish it had been sour!) Was too full to have a taste of the pizza but it looked amazing - photo doesn't do justice. Service was top notch, though. And great ambience 👍🏻👍🏻

This place was a good find for a late lunch. 

It was hard to choose between all day breakfast and the rest of the menu, however once I turned the page and saw $12 pasta- the same delicious pasta everyone else seemed to be eating, I was sold. 

I chose the chicken pesto- it was creamy, pasta was perfectly al dente and it was seasoned well. My sister got the smoked salmon salad and her friend got the chicken salad. While they looked delicious, you don't make friends with salad so I feel like I won dish of the day. 
Staff were polite and attentive and it's a good spot to people watch

Definitely will be back for the Thursday beer- its happy hour all day. Coupled with more pasta- I'll be able to survive work the next day

We enjoyed a pleasant lunch here on another hot Brisbane day with Mr Meatballs And Beef Cheeks and Mr Joe K, and there's not a lot I could add to their reviews.
There we were, brought together by the fiendishly clever machinations of the elusive and Svengali-esque Ms Alison Read, luring innocent Zomatites into being her guinea pigs for her newest discoveries. Does she even exist? Is that even her name? What kind of rapping name is Alison Read? Will we ever find out? All yet to be revealed. Stay tuned fellow Zomatites.
Now, away from the intrigue and back to the food.
My bulgogi beef burger was tasty enough, but when you've been spoilt by Miel, it was hard to rate this higher than a 3-3.5. (I made a mess of eating of it - would probably rate myself a 1 out of 5 there).
Mrs Kan Do's Arabiatta which I tasted had a nice, thick, tomato based sauce and rated around 3.5-4.
Meatballs And Beef Cheeks' chicken risotto, which we tasted, was an excellent dish. I would rate this at least a 4.
And the ribbed cream pasta which Joe K ordered was reviewed as being as excellent as it looked.
All in all, it was a nice meal with pleasant company and in laid-back and charming surrounds (Mrs Kan Do has a love affair with the decor), and all very reasonably priced in an excellent West End location.
Many thanks to Alison for setting up the lunch, and both M&BC and Joe for your pleasant company and generosity of spirit.

Ten days ago Alison Read suggested a couple of us Zamato friends should break bread together. Great idea I thought, as I can finally put to rest that Kan Do is an Indian man. Lately, he has spent much of his leisure time at Market Square and Sunnybank Plaza with his camera and uploading these photos so I had a sneaking suspicion he may be a Chinese man!

I have driven past Falalalah many times and assumed it was an African restaurant. With so many choices on Boundary Rd I have had no inclination to check it out. As I walked in I recognised three Korean waitresses. I thought "wrong restaurant" and was about to walk out. A waitress approached offering assistance and I asked if they had a reservation for Alison Read? Bingo! And I was taken to our table to eagerly await the arrival of Kan Do and Meatballs And Beef Cheeks.

Within minutes my Zamato friends from the Subcontinent, Mr & Mrs Kan Do joined me at the table followed shortly after by M&BC. We were so engrossed in conversation it was some time before we placed our lunch order. Lunch was served 20 minutes later. In his review M&BC has written comprehensively about our meals so I will only comment on my lunch.

As we were starting on our meals M&BC asked us to try his creamy chicken risotto. Bellissimo! The best risotto I've had in years and I rate it at 4.5. My rib cream pasta was good with the chilli heat above medium. The sauce and fried pork was very tasty but for me, there was too much sauce and not enough pasta. Another 100g of pasta would have earned this meal 4.5 points. On my next visit I will ask the kitchen for extra pasta.

I have had some memorable Italian meals in Tokyo prepared by Japanese chefs. Korean-Italian cuisine is a new experience for me and I have to say that I am impressed. I will return with my mother (a risotto lover) soon. A pleasant surprise for us was that almost all the pasta and risotto dishes were around $12 which is unbelievably cheap for quality food. The indoor and outdoor dining areas are suited for casual dining. Seeing 3 high chairs in the dining area means they are child friendly. I would highly recommend Falalalah for their Italian meals.

I had no idea what to expect from a Korean-Italian fusion restaurant, but it was suggested by Alison Read and I was happy to try it with Mr and Mrs Kan Do and the one and only Joe K.

I tried the Egg in the Hole ($8) from the breakfast menu and the Creamy Chicken Risotto ($12) from the lunch menu.

The Egg in the Hole was an egg, cooked in a slice of grilled bread, served with lots of crispy bacon. Tasted great and for $8 was a great value. This rated a 4.

The Creamy Chicken Risotto was easily the best dish on the table. Lots of chicken and garlic in this lovely dish. This was also a great value and rates a 4.5.

Most of the other dishes (Creamy Rib Pasta, Arrabiata Pasta and Bulgogi Burger) rated a 3-3.5.

Good service and nice air conditioning available inside.

I'll definitely be back with the family.

I came to this korean italian fusion restaurant on a tuesday evening with my partner, and ordered a rib cream pasta and potato bacon pizza. My favourite was the pasta (good combination of spicy and creamy) and my partner liked the pizza best. This is the kind of taste you will get when you visit an Italian/korean restaurant in Korea !

Lots of seating options, indoor or outdoor , and i liked the simple decor ! It was clean and the waiters were attentive (good customer service).

Very affordable ($12 for each plate) and very very tasty. I had a very pleasant experience, and there was nothing to complain about. I will 100% return! Next time i plan to try soy cream pasta and sweet potato pizza.

Seriously, considering the price and taste, i recommend this place 100%!!!

Portion sizes were decent and the food was tasty. Ordered the spicy rib meat pasta which was indeed spicy, creamy but tasty. The pasta in the bread bowl tasted quite nice, however the pasta and bread combination was too carby, making it hard to finish. Pizza had crunchy base and had generous toppings, standard gourmet pizza, nothing amazing.

The staff here are really great very attentive without being obtrusive. They looked after the pooch as soon as we arrived with a water bowl &  we were also offered blankets due to the wind chill at an early breakfast. The meals are very generous in portion size & the food was fresh & tasty. I had the avocado with feta & it came with two huge slices of ultra fresh bread. The omelette my partner received was one of the best he had had in a while, light, fluffy & filled with heaps of gooey cheese & spinach. Coffee also good however as usual we ordered it strong so assume it was double shots.

We stopped by Falalalah thinking it would have Korean food on offer. However after looking at the menu we realised it was more of a mixture of Western and Korean food. The weekend menu is limited to the breakfast menu and a limited lunch menu but Korean fried chicken from the dinner menu was also on offer. Originally we ordered one tradition Korean fried chicken and one sweet chilli chicken but we're told they only had 1.5 chickens left which seemed a little strange for a Sunday afternoon. The chicken turned out to be great. It came with a side salad and a generous amount of sauce. The bacon potato pizza was definitely one of the highlights of my meal and I would highly recommend it. the Falalalah breakfast was a generous serving of breakfast goodness which I have no doubt would cure the ugliest of hangovers with its crispy bacon and TWO hash browns. Miss S who had the halloumi stack was very happy with her meal which came with lots of halloumi, avocado and mushrooms. We also ordered wedges and sweet potato chips which were crispy and hot. The drinks were also a highlight - we ordered a variety of 'ades' (flavoured lemonades) which included the cloudy apple, grapefruit, and lime and pomegranate. Service was excellent and we were notified when there were delays in the chicken and wedges coming out which was appreciated. Overall, we went expecting to be eating lots of Korean food and although that wasn't the case, we were very happy with our meals and the service. I look forward to returning again soon.

Amazing, amazing, amazing food. Came on a quiet Wednesday night - thank God, because I was starving, it was cold and I was, um. Starving. My friend and I were quickly attended to. We ordered the rib pasta, warned that it was spicy - I said it was okay (ha) and the smoked salmon pizza. The rib pasta was definitely SPICY, and I have a palate accustomed to the likes of more traditional Korean cuisine (think spicy kimchi soups), and even for me, it was too much. Luckily for me, my friend could devour it all no problem. The pizza though - perfect. Cheesy, creamy, sweet, with the salmon serving out the slight saltiness to balance it all out. So good. I'd come back here a million times.

Food overall was quite good. I had the arrabbiata pasta ($12) and my companion had the beef burger and haloumi salad ($22).

Price is pretty good and definitely in line with what was offered and the serving sizes were huge. My pasta was pretty tasty and had some real kick. The burger looked huge but a little dry and the cheese had been grilled to a crisp before being put on - not sure if this was deliberate?

Overall a good experience and I'd eat here again as the rest of the menu looked interesting with a lot of pub and Italian staples mixed with an Asian twist.

This is our favourite restaurant. Today we tried their new breakfast menu (vegetarian stack and the Falalalah breakfast) and it was divine and to the standard which have come to know their lunch and dinner menu to be. Falalalah is extremely well priced and serve the best food. Our dinner choices are often their diavola pizza and the ribs pasta. Must try for all!

I strongly recommend the sweet potato pizza which is different from traditional pizza. This is including several pieces and mashed sweet potatoes. Next time I must have a try the rose crab seafood.

Overall the food was very flavoursome, spicy and rich in taste. However, the prawn and honey soy pizza was not well balanced between the toppings, and was a bit oily. The crab and spicy rib spaghetti was a favourite and would recommend to anyone looking for a choice in dish. Chicken and dips were standard average flavours but was not a standout unfortunately.

We came on a Friday night at around 6.30pm and were greeted by the lovely wait staff. We ordered the rose pasta, bacon and potato pizza and the large boneless chicken. Overall, the service was quick, the servings were generous, flavours were delicious, especially the crab rose pasta and the price was fair ($68 for 3 people!) I would highly recommend this restaurant as the food speaks for itself :) only issue would be that the crab pasta have crab meat and not the crab shells which are too hard to eat.

Edit: return June 2016, menu changed, must admit the pizzas are more thin and lack the generous servings we had previously. The chicken is no longer boneless but come on the drumstick and unfortunately- was dry and hard to eat!

The food is very reasonably priced and the service was fast. The lunch menu pizzas are a must try😄. The potato bacon pizza is very different from the stereotypical pizza chains and the spicy pizza's spiciness is just right. Will definitely come here again.

The pizzas are pretty good! And we also ordered Iced green latte and Iced Chai Latte. We reckon the green latte is a bit too sweet. But overall it's a pretty good place!

We are visiting Brisbane for a few days and this was our first place to try in the city. Great success!
Rib pasta was awesome. Caesar salad wasn't really Caesar but was delicious nonetheless.
Friendly staff, reasonable prices and good hot drinks. Would visit more if I lived here.

As sad it was to see the demise of Hong Depot, I'm very relieved its replacement is even better. The food we tasted at Falalalah was interesting and delicious with large servings and affordable prices. That is in short, everything I look for in food and add the fact that service was friendly and they also serve alcohol and it's a recipe for a good meal out. It's a big thumbs up from me.

This is one of the my favorite restaurant in Brisbane and I am highly able to recommend this restaurant to my dear friends. The location is outstanding in the area so it's easy to find it, and there are planty of parking places in the shopping cetre, right next to 'Falalalah restaurant'. The menu, such as Pizzas and fried chichens are so tasty and the prices are reasonable. Today, I will go there again and try to taste their new menu 'Sweet potato pizza'.
Exiting!!haha.

I ventured over to Falalalah in West End for a bit of a mid-week treat, and treat myself I did. My dining partners and I kicked off the night with the large deep fried platter consisting of wedges, onion rings, calamari and prawns. I basically inhaled the wedges and onion rings, so golden and crispy! Being vego, I ordered the mushroom and haloumi burger (mushroom, haloumi cheese, basil pesto, spinach, tomato and onion) which came with an additional side of wedges (carb overload - I'm not complaining). The burger for me was okay. I feel like it could have been better but the haloumi, being on the thin and dry side, let the flavours of the burger down a little bit.  I also wasn't the biggest fan of whole basil leaves being used as green filler since the taste of basil overpowered all the other flavours in the burger. Basil leaves + basil pesto = too much basil. 

Feeling like I needed a little break from the taste of basil, I ended up having a tiny taste of my partner's rib pasta which was mindblowingly delicious! It was spicy, creamy and packed full of flavour. Definitely one of the best fusion pastas I have ever eaten. I am also going to have to give a shout out to Falalalah's deep pizza for two. That sauce, cheese and deep-fried goodness was spot on. Both dishes contain meat and I had to nibble around it. 

Overall, despite my burger being on the average side, all the other dishes were comforting and filling. Food you would definitely want to be digging into on a rainy night (which it was that evening). The service is speedy and the price is reasonable considering how big the portions are. I will have to come back and work my way through their vegetarian options.

Nice new Korean fusion place where Hong's Depot use to be. 
Quite enjoyed my meal here. I got the rib pasta and it was delicious. A little bit on the spicy side, but I didn't mind. 
Also got to try the Falalalah special pizza, boy was that nice. 
Thick base with cheese in the crust, nice and cheesy, just the way I like it, topped off with some bulgogi beef. 
Would recommend this place a try.

Every Thursday we (my family) go out to have dinner. Mum had heard some really good things about the cafe from her friends so we thought it'd be nice to visit. We ordered a pasta, pizza, burger, chicken and a steak. I was satisfied with most of the dishes and the amount of food served. I would definitely come back to try more of their pizza and pastas but their steaks would definitely be a no. The steak was wayyy to hard for some reason and we had too many difficulties trying to cut it. Although their burger were somewhat nice, it was nothing special. I do think that this restaurant has been over rated but it's not bad!

Came by for their 1+1 special, and the patio dining area was really nice to sit in for a Sunday brunch. We ordered the big breakfast and it was definitely big. Bacon, bread, eggs, more, and a stalk of asparagus because why not  and we also ordered the 4 seasoner. I didn't know I liked Salmon with blueberry jam or chicken and passion fruit but I do now. Also had the Chai shake, it was great and Green tea latte, that one had a bit too much milk but still good.

Plus great taste in music playing in the background

Now to try lunch and dinner

Came back to brisbane for a short holiday from uni and discovered this really cute named cafe restaurant sitting across the road from baskin robbins in south bank.
The place had indoor and outdoor sitting area catering to both the group enjoying abit of sunshine and the group who prefer a quieter atmosphere. Decor was simple and lovely.
We went around 1.30pm and it wasnt too busy as its past the lunch peak hours. Ordered the spicy ribs pasta (according to the korean owner its one of a kind and their very own creation) and grilled chicken salad. Both dishes were very nicely done and the presentation looked amazing as well. Green tea latte was very pretty, they have good baristas! Service was good, they even offered sharing plates knowing its our first time visiting the restaurant!
Very nice food and for the extra value of lunch special of 12.90 w a free soft drink. Its definitely worth trying. The pizza our neighbouring table had looked very nice as well. ^_^ will definitely visit this place again very soon and try their other dishes.

At first, we really didn't know what to expect from this place. It's new and only opened in August so not a lot of people know about it, hence sometimes it looks empty. But rest assured this place is an absolute GEM for west end. The owners are lovely, and the food, especially the deep pizza (it's a pizza pie, enough said) and spicy pork rib pasta were the absolute highlights!

Going by its name, I didn't know what to expect at this restaurant. We were invited by the owner to review the menu, and I was pleasantly surprised by the dishes served up. Of what we had, I would recommend the Rib Pasta, Fried Platter, Seafood Salad and Deep Dish Pizza. The Matcha Latte was also delicious. Very well priced place, and there's even $12.90 lunch specials (which include a drink!). They have just started doing brekky on the weekend so I'm keen to return to try the "Four Seasons" signature dish (which includes sweet and savoury options - ideal when you're indecisive like me :)). All in all, a great little restaurant!

This is one great little café/restaurant which serves up a variety of western dishes. It's run by a Korean owner, so the descriptions and style of food is a little confusing at times, but it doesn't affect the food, (which is good!).You can find things like pasta, burgers and pizza on the menu. We tried two of the pastas which both were excellent. The spicy pork spaghetti was my absolute favourite. The seafood pasta was also great! They do a deep dish pizza with a stuffed crust, I was told its all made in house too, which was amazing. Prices are reasonable, and they also do some nice house made 'ade' which is kind of a lightly fizzy soft drink. The green tea latte's are also great (you can get them in hot or cold versions).

Delightful and good food in a very pleasant environment. I liked the Korean Bulgogi Pizza very much. The pasta and buffalo wings were nice also. I guess if the young female waitress was not overloaded, she could add a smile to her good service. It was around 1pm on Wednesday, the place was not full at all. We had to wait for 3 minutes until we saw her appearing, holding a plate of food.

we got the mushroom cream risotto, pulled pork risotto and honey soy chicken (boneless)! everything was so good but our winner was the mushroom cream risotto. it was SO tasty, creamy and cooked to perfection. we loved the rice and mushrooms, couldn’t get enough! the pulled pork risotto is slightly spicy. it definitely has a kick but is the perfect korean italian fusion dish. they were very generous with the pulled pork and it was incorporated really well into the dish. however, if your spice tolerance isn’t great i wouldn’t recommend as a main because after a while it gets/ feels spicier. last, the honey soy boneless chicken! it was sooo juicy and tender. portion was for a large and when it came we immediately knew we were going to need a takeaway box. chicken was well seasoned and cooked well - wasn’t dry at all! atmosphere was really chill and nice too. we sat outside and there was a lot of greenery. a very calming and homely environment. we loved it & will definitely be back!
