Review Jv Chinese Food - Collingwood

A great experience and very good quality of meats for what you pay for. We had a lot of food and enjoyed every single thing. A special thanks to Mini (Kim) for serving us. The only things I have to point out are 1 - The ventilation upstairs is not that great, so don’t wash your hair before the meal; 2) The seafood & chives pancake was a tad small - we ordered it to share but in the end due to the size we only had a tiny piece each. Side dishes were given generously and we particularly liked the steamed egg and salad. The soy powder went well with pork belly and balanced out the fattiness perfectly.

Great food. Great vibes. The team and fantastic welcoming and fun. Love this little spot on smith street. Generous servings and great sides not to mention the awesome Soju!! A great place to come for a fun time and great food/service.

Had soooo much fun at this place and what a great experience! i came to dinner quite bias against Korean bbq. Never like the concept of paying premium to cook my own meal. After dining at goon bbq my mind was quickly changed ! The staff came out and cooked the food for us ! The selection was so full of flavour, fresh and very generous in portions. The place is decorated in such an authentic way, It was like spending a night in Korea. The highlight were the staff. Amazing service and so attentive and polite. I have already booked another table here next week. Highly recommended !!!!!! Very affordable as well :)

Wow, great environment, super tatsy food, nice staffs. We had Bibimbaps, one with beef and the other one with tofu. They both were tatsy and nice. Inside the restaurant is quite beautiful and cosy. The only downside of this restaurant is the price of foods which was quite expensive.

ORDERED: 🐮🐷​ BEEF & PORK SET (2 people) ($88.00) - Marinated beef la galbi - Pork Belly - Sliced beef belly - 7 side dishes (pop chicken, corn cheese, bean soup, kimchi & sliced radish, salad, steam egg, rice) 🥘 ARMY STEW (2 people): Table cooking stew with slice pork belly, tofu, spam, veggies, bean and kimchi We spent $33.58pp here, between the 4 of us. REVIEW: Guys. DO NOT listen to their 2pp guidance. After consuming Goon's beef & pork belly set, the 4 of us were satiated and wanted to shoot ourselves for ordering the army stew as well. Goon BBQ are generous, and if you wanted to err on the side of caution you're better off getting a smaller soup as opposed to committing to a full army stew. Goon also don't seem to be "traditional" korean, because their also offered slices of pineapple in the meat and there was a variety of bbq sauces (soy powder) that added a bit of interest and intrigue for us. They also don't use coal, but your regular gas heat and there's no ventilation. Be prepared to smell like KBBQ! The service was friendly, and it seems like there's enough space to hold a big group downstairs. There's cute little trinkets around the restaurant to catch your eye - it's well designed to add an element of fun to the environment. Goon BBQ is great if you want a casual bbq. However my favourite is still Mansae in the CBD!

The space was very small inside so we opted for sitting outside. We went with the army stew which took quite a while to come out. It didn't come with as many side dishes as the with the BBQ combos so we were a bit disappointed. All in all an ok experience.

Staff are very welcoming, food is top quality! Lovely little place with attractive music and an authentic Korean taste, 10/10

This review is a little late. We celebrated the end of our 3 weeks holiday in Mel at this restaurant in May. Have to give it a 5 star rating for the hospitality and quality of food. We have a 2 year old with us, staff go out of their way to make sure that we are comfortable. They move us upstairs so that it’s more spacious and safer for the infant. Generous serving and lots of extras. Highly recommended. We will be back whenever we visit Melbourne again.
