Korchi always coming through š„š„
My favourite dish from them would be the spicy teokbokki ramen. Staff are so hospitable. You can ask to have it less spicy or more spicy (however you want). The kpop music in the background really gives the restaurant the ultimate korean restaurant vibes.
However, for those who wanna try Korchi just a heads up the beef and pork bulgogis are very dry. It does come in large portions and is worth the price. But the meat in the bulgogis are very dry.
Went as a group. Serving size is quite large and well worth the price. The black bean noodles were a bit overcooked and too sweet for my taste but everyone else enjoyed them. Very authentic. Sweet and sour pork was crispy - a must try from this place!
Been here a couple of times for dinner. The food comes out quick and the serving of jajangmyeon is always plenty. The girls working there are always friendly.
Food was pretty good but nothing tooo special- safe spot for Korean food I think- loved the noodle dishes, service was good.
Korchi is finally back! We went yesterday and apparently original owners have taken over. It's not The Dream anymore.
Hopefully it'll stay that way for a while. It's great to see because we've always gone there from time to time over the years.
Had a delicious satisfying lunch here. Portion is huge so it is good for sharing when you order. Must order is their Jjampong, perfect for this chilly weather.
Little hidden gem in Clayton!
Been living in Clayton and heard about the place for quite awhile, but never had the real urge to try and go to this place since there are lots of good korean places in the city and never thought we'd have a good one in Clayton too.
Food was a 5/5.
Extremely generous portion, and just perfect taste. Super yum.
The sweet sour pork had apple in it, which is weird, but blended well.
Jjajjangmyeon was a total winner š love it so much (though oily, but doesn't really matter since it taste so gewd)
Will definitely come back.

NOTE: The signage on restaurant outside says āThe dreamā but the menu inside said āKorchiā. Very confusing for us to find it the first time especially since next door is also another Korean restaurant and we thought we were at the wrong restaurant!
Cheap and tasty Korean food! The seafood noodles was the biggest bowl of noodle soup I have ever seen and had an assortment of frozen seafood in a spicy broth. This isnāt the best Korean food weāve had but will definitely satisfy your craving if youāre on a budget. The beef bulgogi was a bit chewy and a little lacking on the meat portion but for
Good value for specially their lunch menus. Reasonable pricing for generous portions - a studentās dream. Always busy. Ample parking up back and you can enter from the back door. Love their lunch menus, jajangmyeon and fried chicken.
Donāt order too much.. I end up taking away more than half of the food that I ordered. Tangsuyuk & jajungmyeong. They suit each other perfectly hahaha
I had the best Soft Tofu Soup today omg! The best for any weather ! I wasnāt expecting but because Iām wasnāt a big fan of this soul but now! I LOVEEE IT ! Iām definitely coming back hehe
The portions here are so large ! We love the black bean noodle , Kim chi stew , the seafood noodles and also the Kim chi pancake
It is a bit dirty here but the food is good and service efficient
Went here today and I am very impressed. I went during lunch and ordered the spicy pork bulgogi which included rice and miso soup and also the jjambbong (spicy seafood soup noodle) and they were both amazing. The portion sizes are very huge and price is very cheap in comparison to most korean restaurants. Wait wasnāt too long and side dishes were nice. Atmosphere is more modern than kang na roo or hodori But is just normal. Staff were also nice. Total price for the two meals came to 24$. Would highly recommend šš
3.5/5
This restaurant was closed for a while because of construction. And it opened again a while ago. But The taste has changed.
New chef have come. It was not bad, but personally it tasted better before. Mapadubu was disappointed.
Iāve eaten here countless times, but Iām always coming back for the black bean noodles, spicy rice cakes and seafood stew. The menu is reasonably priced with a large variety, which includes larger plates for bigger groups. Perfect portions and the food is delicious (side dishes are also great and they refill them without complaints). Staff are also very friendly.
Iām also a huge fan of the city one for lunch.
My friend took us to her fav korean restaurant, and it was delicious! She introduced us to topoki, which was this rice cake noodle type dish that was delicious! I lve the texture, its soft and slightly cheey, and i love the sauce it comes in! I also had some bibimbap, which is one of my fav dishes. And this one really hit the spot too! I like this place. Its a small and simple place, but the food is delicious and good value!
The serving size at this restaurant is MASSIVE. I repeat, THE SERVING SIZE IS HUGE (especially the noodles). I got told to control myself when ordering food from my partner because we ordered: medium sweet and sour pork, one entree and two noodles for two people š¢ In the end we takeaway-ed pretty much the whole sweet and sour pork HAHA. Oh wellll š
I just love this Korean version of Chinese foodš All in all, nothing wrong with the food and place, just be careful not to order too much!
Excellent Korean restaurant. The food is great, the service is great, and the atmosphere is great. The highlight would be the jjajangmyeon, which is a popular Chinese dish in Korea, but surprisingly not served in my Korean restaurant. It's only $11 for a huge portion. The donkatsu portion is a little small, but very cripsy and delicious. Would definitely recommend coming with big groups of people.
My all time favourite korean-chinese restaurant x love their black noodles and spicy seafood noodles! Their fried pork and chicken is also worth trying x
Love the food here...it has mixture of Chinese-korean dishes. Reminds me of Incheon Chinatown. Big portion and tasty too. The Jjam bong (spicy seafood noodles) are great! I hv yet to try the Jja jang myeon.
Delicious, homey Korean food in this family run business. I love their side dishes and the service is great. Get their friend chicken in sweet and sour sauce!
Came here for dinner the other night ordered a noodles, fried chicken, seafood hotpot and Ä·imchi fried rice. The noodles was really good and their fried chicken isnt too bad. The seafood hotpot was a standout. Good servicr
One of many Korean restaurants in Clayton, very warm greeting as you walk through the door, seems Authentic as there is quite a few Koreans while we were there. Not spicy enough for my liking. Very generous serve with their takeaways.
Really great Korean food here, some of the best. Made better by the fact that they were playing Korean hiphop too! I love Bewhy and was a big fan of him on SMTM but honestly Cjamm was robbed. Everyone just jumps on trends and its honestly bullshit. What happened to originality and musical integrity? ģ źø°ė£Ø is a banger and better than anything Bewhy has ever done. All he does is preach abou Jesus! Anyway, great food and my favourite spot in Clayton to get Korean food.
Great portions with low price. There are kinds of signature traditional Korean Chinese cuisine, which are hard to see in other restaurants, such as ź°ģ§ģ„.
Good range of food on the menu; I've had the bibimbap, jjajangmyeon, jjambbong, kimchi jjigae, boiled dumplings (25pc) and medium yangnyum fried chicken; every single dish so far has been pleasantly delicious and at generous portions. One of the better Korean-Chinese fusion restaurants in Clayton.
Korchi Clayton is a decent choice for dinner, especially given the lack of very many good restaurants in the suburb. The spicy chicken and the giant plates of noodles are a good choice to order, and they are relatively cheap.
We usually order the black bean noodles or spicy noodles (Champong). The other dishes such as spicy chicken is not bad, a bit greasy but the flavors are OK. If you are after cheap Korean food, you can consider this place. During peak time, service can be a bit slow. The waiter and waitresses can't speak fluent English so you have to be patient.
Korchi is simple, delcious, quick and value for your money. It's a great place for lunch or dinner. Mostly busy on the Friday nights and weekends. It's a small establishment but provides reasonable priced meals that are generous and fulfilling.Ā
We ordered the bulgogi, the fried chicken, the kimchi fried rice and the black bean noodles. I have been here three times and all three I have been delightfully happy and full.Ā
The bulgogi is standard like most korean restaraunts but never the less it is tasty.Ā
The kimchi fried rice is generously served with a lovely fried egg and coleslaw on the side. The rice is spicy but scrumptious. The coleslaw is the refreshing factor in this meal to cut through the spice of the rice and kimchi, and the egg oozes as you crunch into it.Ā
The fried chicken is a great addition as it has many pieces to offer and is similar to gami but different in texture and flavour. Spicy to some but for me it was all about the juicy meat. It is a must order!
Finally the black bean noodles are mouth wateringly long, gooey but gives you a smack of flavour. However it is also a large portion and by the end you feel fully satisfied. Ask for a pair of scissors so you may cut the noodles, because they are way too long.Ā
Korchi is a lovely place to catch up with friends or for a casual dining experience. This place is value for your money and the food is great. I would definitely recommend stopping by. Check it out!
Delicious miso soup and kimchi. Generous serves of meals. Nice and quick at lunchtime. Would definitely go back if I was around this area more often.
One of the best Korean restaurant in Clayton. Although quite pricey, the portion is big enough to fill your stomach. A must try if you are around the area
Nice choice for those new to Korean cuisine.. This was a nice place for my friend and me, as we are both new to Korean cuisine. Their menu was very helpful: plenty of pictures, good translations and clearly-marked vegetarian options.
I had a curry ($13) and she had a spicy noodle dish with fish cakes. Our meals were served with traditional Korean side dishes, or banchan (kimchi spicy cabbage, kongnamul bean sprouts, etc.).
Not the best food or the quickest service, but all in all, a good experience. I'm glad we tried it, and I'd be willing to come here again.
Excellent!. Wow, what a find! just happened to be in the area, wanting to have something a bit spicy for lunch, and thought we'd give this small, hidden, korean restaurant a try. everything that we ordered exceeds our expectations, extremely large portions (me n my wife ordered 3 dishes, and in the end, had to take-away all 3), and really good value for money. will definitely come back again, and will definitely recommend this place to friends and family
If you like Korean cuisine and still haven't been to Korchi venture out to Clayton and try the amazing food. The Jjajangmyeon is amazing and the tangsuyuk is perfect although at times the batter is a little too crispy (almost hard).
Service was nice, Food wa.... Service was nice,
Food was nice,
Price wasn't.
It's abt $5 more for a dish compared to other Korean eatery in the area.
I rate like as everything else was ok except price so I won't be returning...sorry guys
I would say this is the best Korean resterant in Clayton. Good food, big potion and good price pretty much sums it up.
Best Jajangmyeon (black bean paste noodles)!. Even after moving from Clayton to Caulfield (where there are many well known korean restaurants, kimchi grandma par example), Korchi's Jajangmyeon still holds its little throne on my munchies list. To the extent I'd be more than willing to travel there for dinner and take away some noodles back to fridge.
The service could get slow when it's busy but you can tell that the staff are doing their best to make it all work.
I'd usually head around the corner to the korean grocer after grub in korchi. But the shopping bags wouldnt be a problem, because there's a bus stop literally right outside Korchi, location - check.
I know it's a korean culture for the staff to all eat together, but something about it makes the place feels like a cozy family-run restaurant. The vibe is pretty good, tho be warned if your companions are sitting facing the kitchen. They'd most likely would be staring at the wide screen plasma tv instead of listening to you talk.
Good value authentic Korean. Coneniently located near MMC.
Staff are friendly, and service is quick. Some of the lunch specials are fairly cheap.
Recommended .
Best Korean noodles! This i.... Best Korean noodles!
This is by far my fav Korean restaurant for 'jambong' not for those who can't take chilli tho, but food is at a very reasonable price.
What I love is the simple menu and great prices. Add to that the delicious food and huuuge servings..... heaven!
Have been a customer since 2004. Recently some funny korean joint from Springvale (Yeah, go figure) called The Dream took over. Omg it was as good as destroying this place. So thankful that the original korchi owners took the place back from 'the bad Dream'. Food here is perfectly south korean with great serves. Welcome back and please stay!!!!!! :) - big fan;)
First time visited this place and it was not a dissapointment at all! We love love the jjajangmyun/black bean sauce noodle and the deep fried chicken with garlic sauce. Surely wont be our last visit, happy to come again next week and try another dish on the listš„°
I ordered takeaway. I had the spicy rice cake and Mandoo. The spicy rice cake was so so good. Ill definitely come here again.
Decent food and attentive service for the price you are paying. Generous serving sizes as well. The waitresses/staff also are able to smile which is good to see versus places where the people serving you look grumpy and look like they're done with life. We had the jajangmyeong, the stir fried seafood black bean noodles and the rabokki. The corn tea and side dishes were also nice and fresh. Will come back again.
