Finally Doncaster has decent food! Was really looking forward to seeing this restaurant open. Cute decor, with cheeky wall decal, really friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond for their patrons. Food is freakin' delicious as well - if you go, you have to try the soy garlic fried chicken, corn cheese and army stew.

Overly impressive interior decor and size for the location, very helpful patient and knowledgable service happy to promote and explain, food served warm and punctually, maybe a tad over priced but the quality of the ingredients is above average, parking is good and also, when tables set up would be a nice and comfortable and inviting place for the solo diner,, the bbq chicken and mamas original fried chicken are good in operation tasty and crunchy but could be more moist inside the flesh but very good anyway, condiments are appropriate and the cheesy corn is excellent as too the chicken giblets though they list them as intestine they’re are on face stir fried chicken stomach and are quite good though for an inexpensive ingredient from the wholesaler I would have expected these at half the price and not as finely sliced, the bibimbab is a stand out
Well done on that I commend you
Over all an interior that does justice to the area, and more so , good service, prompt cooking, average size orations with prices a tad over for the area but the food quality makes up for it, all food is quite good though the giblets should have been more generous or less in price
Well done we shall visit again

I don't know if it was because we were watching kdramas where Lee Min Ho was Ho-ing down on some sponsorship kfc or if we were just super hungry, either way, the garlic soy & sweet chilli kfc tasted out of this world. We also had the Japchae, which was tasty but small. Would come back for more fried chicken.

My favourite Korean restaurant. Always love their dishes. Very clean and attentive/welcoming staff. I always get the sausage stew or pork bone soup but this time I tried their new Kimchi Stew. It was delicious. I think it’ll be my new favourite. Price is reasonable for the amount you get. Will be back :)

I’d like to appreciate the DTM team - mainly to Rico for expressing genuine concerns and taking on feedback on my recent dining experience here during March 2020. While the matter was not handled properly at the time, Rico has politely reached out and compensated for the food in my next visit (to make up for last time’s mishaps).

The consistency, taste and hospitality of DTM is always there - coming directly from a local who lives in Doncaster. This is my go to Korean restaurant and I genuinely believe it’s the best in this particular area.

There are plenty of variety on food items, but I believe their Army Stew and Korean Fried Chicken is to die for. The servings are always generous whether dine-in or takeaway. I recommend anyone who lives in the Eastern suburbs to give this place a try - you won’t be disappointed!

I love the dolsot bibimbap- the rice was actually SO CRISPY at the bottom which means that the dolsot bowl was actually hot enough unlike a lot of restaurants.
Another favourite is the tteokbokki for 2 which was really large and extremely filling for just two people!

We ordered a whole boneless chicken that in the flavour of Soy garlic. It’s the best I’ve ever tried. The chicken skin was bomb and the meat was juicy. It’s normally a bit spicy but the one today I ordered was not spicy at all. Maybe they forgot to add the pepper. But it’s my go to for soy garlic place. Service speed was decent. Food always arrives around 10 minutes after order. The food portion here is perfect for 2-3 people. #soygarlic

Located on the Doncaster Road lays Don’t Tell Mama Shh a korean restaurant. We always drive pass here and it always seemed so packed on Saturday so we decided to give Sunday a go and lucky us, there wasn’t much people on Sunday night. We were seated straight away. The place is huge. There’s two area and tons of seating. This place is perfect for group outings!

Don’t Tell Mama shh is predominately normal korean dishes, they don’t have korean bbq. Their menu is quite extensive with many dishes to choose from. Most of the are quite spicy but you can ask the waitress to lower spice level if you can’t eat spicy food. Their most popular dish is the spicy sausage stew which we didn’t order but from the looks of people eating it, it does look delicious.

They brought out condiments and I didn’t really enjoy any of them. We ordered the Cheesy flaming chicken which was pretty good! It’s quite spicy and the chicken cooked very well. I love some good mozzarella only chicken as well! It’s also very saucey.

Next we had cheese corn which was one my favourite dishes of the night. I mean nothing can beat simple plain cheese corn. I liked the fact that they blow torched the cheese in front of us. They use a cream at the bottom which is really different with other places I’ve tried. I really enjoyed it!

We also ordered korean fried chicken - miso sauce. The chicken was slightly dry. The miso sauce was really spicy for me. I didn’t really enjoy the miso flavour that they used. It was really hard to finish.

Overall, the meat was good. I think someone who loves spicy food would definitely enjoy this place. The service is quick and the food wasn’t too expensive as well.

Tried out this little gem on Wednesday night. Suprised that it was pretty full given it being in the middle of the week but still ample parking provided. The staff were great and provided so much food! Would only suggest that the bulgogi was a tad overcooked. But all round great night out :))

Delicious Korean food. The seafood pancake is absolutely divine. Most Korean places have a hit or miss pancake , but not don't tell mama! They have been consistent with crispness and tastiness.

Lunch special is great too. Dolsot bimbimbap was great.

This Korean restaurant along Doncaster Road is quite isolated but it's clear that many people make the journey just to try their food. We have been here a few times now and it never disappoints. Parking is mainly on one of the side streets.

On a packed Saturday night, we had the Seafood & Kimchi pancake plus a Chicken Bibimbab. The pancake was nice and thin with lots of ingredients packed inside. There was a lovely crispiness on the edges. The bibimbap had loads of succulent chicken pieces and was served with fresh vegetables.

With such a novel name, this Korean joint will go far.

Previously:

What an interesting name for a Korean restaurant! It's quite a busy place so booking ahead is a great idea. While the service and atmosphere is good, the food is only reasonable. We ordered the potato wedges, pancake and fried chicken. The wedges were the highlight. You can probably get nicer fried chicken and pancakes at other Korean restaurants.

Perfect Korean place. Quiet, clean, polite and best of all, the food were good. Cant feel much MSG, I am allergic to it.

We had Bowl Bibimbab and Dolsot Bibimbab, both are fresh. They came with drink too.

Total damage is less than 30 for 2 decent meals.

Will we come back? Definitely.

Back trying more delicious food around Victoria. My mum and I enjoyed a delicious dinner here. We ordered a bimbimbap, which is an assortment of veggies and meat on a bed of rice. The flavour is very clean, as in it doesn’t have any too overpowering flavours. However because of this, it is a bit bland. The seafood pancake is also very crisp, not oily at all. The flavour is also very light, which I have found with both dishes I’ve ordered. If you want more flavour, you should probably order the korean fried chicken or one of the stews. My favourite stew is the Bulgogi beef stew and paired with korean rice, it is the perfect meal on a cold winter’s day. Overall, a pleasant experience!

Not the first time here. Food is always good and this time round it is no exception. We took the 5.30pm section and soon the place was packed after we settled down. The menu is now online but luckily we can still order with the waitress. Not a big fan of the online ordering system. Service is adequate. The boss is kind of rush rush. Price is high medium. Overall experience is good. Will recommend it.

The food, the ambiance, everything was spot on. The bimbimbap was so tasty, soft rice with a toasty bottom, each element had its own flavour, just a delicious combination! Loved the rice cake and sausage and really enjoyed the ginseng chicken soup. It was so hearty and soothing, the chicken was super tender and soft. Shout out to the staff, who were so friendly and kind. I was running 10min late, so had called to let them know and they made me feel so at ease (thank you so much!) I'll will definately be back!

Yes, the name is unusual. Maybe it’s a direct translation from Korean but the food does not disappoint. Korean Army Stew, ypu have to try that. This is y in Melbourne to have Korean Army Stew. It is not easy to find a Korean restaurant which serves this type of stew. You can get Korean Fried Chicken anywhere but Army stew hmmmm not easy. What can go wrong with Spam, sausages, beef slices, macaroni and spicy soup!!! Hmmm processed food yummy. We also ordered half fried chicken with sweet chilli sauce (sorry forgot to take the pic, me so hungry). We love Gami so much but next time we will come here for the fried chicken only!!! Sorry Gami 😃
