Reviews Noonane Korean

It is a cold Saturday morning and I am yearning for a boiling hot meaty Korean soup. Every visit I am the only non-Korean patron here which guarantees the food to be authentic Korean.

My Spicy Combination Pork Soup ($16.90) arrives boiling in a super-hot stone bowl. The Pork Soup is delicious with plenty of Pork Belly, Heart, Stomach and Potato Noodles. A hearty and very satisfying meal indeed. Thank you Noonane!

Lazy weekend lunch with two besties. We wanted Korean food but were not prepared to battle it out for parking in Market Square or Sunnybank Plaza, so we trekked a little further and explored our options at the little shopping strip at Turton Street. Opting for something new (rather than our usual at Mapo or Seoul Bistro), we decided to try out the food at Noonane, a couple of shopfronts down.

Authentic Korean dishes, Not too heavy in the taste. I've been to quite a few Korean places, this is definitely one of the best.

Spicy Korean sausage soup: the Korean sausage (sweet potato noodles wrapped with pig intestine) was the only let down. If you want the best Korean sausage soup, I'd recommend TopUp takeaway at sunny park.

Fish milt and roe soup: something a bit adventurous, milt has a soft tofu texture and the fish roe was a bit overcooked and hard for me, but apparently that's how they usually cook it.

Chive pancake: one of the best I've had and very generous with the filling, good texture to it, not too thick not too thin.

Also, there's not much/close to none vegetarian options. Overall its still a good Korean place.Our waiter was very kind & helpful in explaining some of the menus we were not sure

Noonane is a restaurant tucked away in Turton St specializes in Korean soup and hotpots. We were there for weekday lunch and ordered spicy beef soup and beef short rib soup. A quick view around, you will realize the simple decorated establishment shows all menu boards in Korean which adds a level of authenticity to this restaurant.

The appetisers arrived first, containing: picked white radish, kimchi and raw onion & green chilli with Korean miso paste. The homemade white radish and kimchi was sweet, juicy and crunchy with only hints of spiciness. The onion and green chilli dipped with miso was strong and flavourful. This is not to everyone's palate but complements soup dishes to perfection. There is only a handful of Korean restaurants that serve truly authentic side dishes, Noonane is one of them. 4/5

The still simmering spicy beef soup was next with cuts of braised beef, bean sprouts and spring onions in a red chilli broth. The soup has a depth of flavour consists of beef, ginseng, onion & hints of seafood. The meat was tender and flavourful (non of that poor quality hotpot thin beef you see in most Korean restaurants) and complements the soup nicely. Paired with a bowl of steamed rice, one was taken to comfort food territory. By far the best spicy beef soup I have ever had in Brisbane. 4.5/5

The beef short rib soup was the last dish of the meal. The big bowl of goodies served in a heated stone bowl contains chunks of short ribs, white radish, shredded egg, Korean glass noodle and spring onions to garnish. The short ribs was falling off the bone tender with big beefy taste. The soup was chicken stock based with mild flavours and hints of ginseng. It is the kinda soup for the ones after healing effects. 3.5/5

Overall service was friendly and efficient. Side dishes was refilled without hassle and kids cutlery was provided without asking. 4/5

Hint: They offer a number of Korean soups aimed for hangover recovery. Just ask 😊

I heard that this place is the 'place to go' for korean soup. Noonane specialises in korean soups and hot pots so you wont find many other choices except some other rice dishes and a couple sides.

My partner and i ordered the korean style pork soup and korean style spicy pork sausage soup. All soups come with a bowl of rice and the usual kimchi, chopped onions and chilli as sides and some other condiments. I personally enjoyed the spicy soup more because i like spicy dishes but they were both tasty and served piping hot in a grill bowl. Ive also tried a bit of beef bone soup and it was really good !!

Next time im going to come back for ox tail soup (one of my favourites, dont let the name put you off) and potato (?) soup.

I also recommend trying your food with korean makgeolli (carbonated rice wine)!

Interior is clean, employees are helpful. A great experience all up! A good place to go especially if youre feeling under the weather and need some warming food !

EDIT: Highly recommend the spicy beef soup with korean vegetables ! (소고기 우거지 해장국)

My partner and I went there tonight to have a quick dinner. We only ordered one Korean style pork soup. We did expect that this meal would come with rice and some side dishes. But it actually came with two bowls of rice! When we double checked with the waitress, she replied that they provided us two as we had two people and they are free for charge. It's really a big surprise to us as most Korean restaurants are stingy on rice. That aside, their customer services were remarkable, especially in such a busy dinner time.
The only comment of their food would be the side dishes. They were a bit salty and all of them have very similar salty and spicy tastes. I would suggest them to provide other side dishes that can balance the taste.
I would definitely come back to try other dishes as the pork soup was good.
