I don’t know what everyone is talking about with the shoddy reviews about this place, but I came here for some korean fried chicken and let’s just say, it had me coming back within the same week.
Although the batter, you may find different from other locations, in my opinion, it is superior to the standard basic dry batters that other places utilise. The batter at Ohsso was Ohsso good! With a light airy batter which maintained is level of crispness throughout the entire time I was there. Within this golden batter, tender, juicy meat resided which broke apart with ease and had an amazingly soft, and satisfying mouthfeel.
If you ask me, I would highly recommend getting original chicken and sauce on the side for the best experience at this location. The sauce given, is plentiful and can easily be enough for an entire chicken. Keeping the sauce and the chicken separate, allows the batter to maintain crispness Which is a key element of the enjoyment.
Other side dishes I tried included the pork japchae, tteokbokki, fried mandoo and kimchi pancake, which were all okay, but definitely not the stars of the meal.
Personally, I think the japchae tastes similarly to the pizza I get at the local pizzeria, which messed with my head a bit and was a tad oily and salty for my palate.
The tteokbokki was better than I’ve had at other locations, which I am usually not the biggest fan of, but found this place pleasantly more savoury, rather than absolutely sweet which I enjoyed.
The fried mandoo, although vegetarian, was delicious nonetheless, with a great substantial texture inside, similar to meat and a beautiful crisp exterior.
Despite the side items not wowing me, I came here for fried chicken, and that’s what I received at an exceptional level, and for this, I will be coming back for the chicken again and again.
Peace out!!
Ordered the sweet chilli n soy garlic whole chicken, deobokki, spicy pork kimbap n matcha patbingsu for dessert (which was definitely way too much food for two). However, the food was really good, the sauce of the rice cakes tasted a lot more spicy than what I usually have but I liked it. It was also my first time having kimbap and I enjoyed it!! Overall good experience although we couldnt finish all the food. Would recommend!
🥓 ORDERED MENU 🍳
Small Bunshik Set ($10) w/ Tuna kimbap + Ramen ($2)
🙆 WHAT WENT WELL 🥰
✓ Food: I think this set is very well made! I love the variety that they provide, and the kimbap balances out the spicy, sweet Ddeokbokki. Mandoo was average, but their seaweed roll is very nice. Size of the whole meal is good, fills you up without overstuffing you!
✓ Service: Very friendly and warm, pleasant interaction. Cute shop, with neon lights and friendly staff.
✓ Value for money: I came with Eatclub promotion, so that brought the price down. For a quick meal that doesn't require you to stuff yourself, I think it's worth every penny!
🙅 WHAT DIDN'T GO SO WELL 😬
× Food: Nothing in particular. While it was a very pleasant meal, it wasn't anything extraordinary.
🌺 FINAL THOUGHTS ☘️
Definitely a good deal with Eatclub! I would be happy to come back for more if I'm in the area, whenever I crave variety in my meals!
One of my go-to Korean food spots! Love the ambience and not to mention, the food there is pretty solid!
I've eaten there one to many times and I've got to say their tteokbokki is good! You can add cheese and ramen for the ultimate tteokbokki experience 😍
Such fantastic value lunch boxes and the food is so tasty and authentic! Definitely try the boneless fried chicken- so juicy and tender and covered in the perfect amount of sauce
I come here often as I live close by, this place is not bad. The food is average pricing for a Korean restaurant & it is quite tasty.
Some foods:
Bibimbap is quite nice, green tea patbingsu is amazing, chocolate patbingsu was not the best...
Overall, a pretty decent Korean restaurant!
Chanced upon Ohsso as a few other Korean restaurants in the area were closed on the day (being a Monday). We had an early dinner and was in before the crowd, so the service was food service was very quick and staff were overall quite friendly. We ordered two bimbimbaps and a ddeokbokki and were provided the standard side dishes. We thought all of the food were done quite well and tasted authentic. The price was also reasonable compared to other Korean restaurants in the area. It was a chance discovery but we will be returning for more in the future!
Tried this place and boy it definitely was worth it.
Ordered the galbitang, japchae, and beef ribs stew.
The galbitang was heavenly, we kept on coming back to it and seriously thought of ordering a second one. The japchae packs a punch of flavour that was definitely satisfying.
The beef ribs stew was unfortunately a miss, but overall a great place!
My all time favourite from Ohsso would be the Kimbap. They’re easy to eat, perfect for lunch with friends or takeaway to eat on the go. Personally, I like my Kimbap to have less rice and more carrots, beef/pork (or other proteins), radish, egg or other fillings, therefore it was perfect for me!

Decided upon this eatery as the nearby Thai place had a long queue. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty their food were! I’ve been back 3 times in the span of 1.5 months and I can’t fault any dishes I’ve tried so far. The spicy pork kimbap and kimchi pancake are great starters. The bibimbap is as great as any delicious bibimbap I’ve ever tried in Melbourne. My absolute favourite would be the spicy seafood tofu soup, it’s full of flavour and seafood unlike other stores where their seafood tofu soup basically consists of 1-2 tiny prawns, lots of squid and 1-2 mussels. I was amazed by how generous they were with the amount of seafood in the soup. The only down side to this place would be their side dishes. They’re pretty stingy with their sides and would only bring them out once you’ve had your starter/main. I’ve yet to attempt to refill them but I doubt they would, based on the vibe and the way they serve their side dishes. It’s a shame as I’ve always been used to generous amounts of side dishes at various Korean eateries all around the world. Other than that, I’m still drawn to this place and would continue coming back for some hearty Korean meals.
The food was standard. The spicy pork had an abundance of veggies but not enough pork for my husband. The flavours were delicious though. My favourite was the soju mojito. So refreshing
This is a fairly new place to The Glenn, its like a long narrow restaurant, yet still spacious enough
I’ve never had korean food besides KBBQ and really enjoyed it!
I had the Rice Cakes (added noodles), Kimchi Pancake, Cheesy Korean fried chicken and the Patbingsu for dessert!
The Cheesy fried chicken is soooo good but I got the spicy one and you really feel it the next morning 😅
I got the Matcha Patbingsu with redbean and it definitely was different flavours! My friend loves it but she’s had it before, it probably won’t be my next choice as I’m just not used to the taste
Prices are pretty reasonable too :)
• Ohsso •
What do you think when you think Korean, oh did you just say Korean bbq?... nah hunny there’s a whole other world outside of it. Ohsso has bought it to a whole new level out there with Korean cuisine. To fired chicken to bimpap to Korean sushi, I honestly fell in love on first bite. Price is so reasonable considering the serving size. They were even nice enough to put chicken sauce on the side instead of coating it. This place is ohsso yummy 🤤
I went here for lunch on a Monday. Food came out fast (5-10 minutes), and service was really good.
I ordered the beef bibimbap which I definitely thought was good. It lacks some flavour, but I like that you can add your own sauces and make it taste exactly how you like.
I also like that sides come with the meal. For $12.50, I think it is great value, as it was very filling, and tastes good.
They have quite an extensive menu, and everything I tried was really good, and one of the cheaper korean restaurants in Melbourne. Parking looks like it can get pretty hectic. I will definitely be back, and it may just become my go to korean restaurant.
Ate here with a few friends.
Atmosphere seemed a bit stuffy. Might of been the pink lights on against the wall.
Service was good, polite and quick.
Foodwise - I enjoyed everything I ordered. Need to go back and try some other things now.
Not your typical korean fried chicken as this place uses a wet batter. Tasted nice though. The dumpling rice cake soup was alright, korean dumpling tasted better than a lot of other places I've previously have visited. Corn cheese was really nice, creamy and a nice sweetness to it but not overly sweet.
Kimchi pancake was nice too, not drenched in oil like most places. Kimbap was very refreshing.
If you haven't already - give this place a crack!
I mainly come here for the spicy rice cakes tbh. The rice cakes r covered in the rice cake sauce and it’s sooo good. You can dip the kimbap and other stuff in the sauce. The pork thing is pretty good it’s like kbbq but without the grilling process. The kimbap is pretty good I got spicy pork it’s not crazy it’s just meh. I also got chicken there and it’s really good I suggest coming with more ppl if u want to order the chicken because there I was there with only one other person and we weren’t able to finish it. The chicken is good
Very kind staff and quick service. Did not have to wait for a table. I tried the beef bibimbap and I think it needed more beef. I felt that there was not enough. However the ddeuokbokki and japchae were very nice.
This place dishes up good portion of Korean meals including street food. Had the pork belly grilled in a set costs $18 which comes with rice, salad and tiny side dishes. The pork japchae is served in generous size with lots of vege. Flavorsome and reasonable pricing. Next time I'd like to try their Fried chic and fishcake skewers soup.
Good place for someone to have a quick Korean BBQ fix without walking out of the resturant stinking of charcoal. Meat are grilled in the kitchen on charcoal grills to give the meat that rustic Korean BBQ favour.
Came here at around 3 in the afternoon, a very quiet time. We ordered ddeokbokki, half soy garlic chicken and a lunch box from the lunch menu. The ddeokbokki was as delicious as ddeokbokki can be, and not very spicy unlike some other restaurants, so you can fully enjoy the taste. The chicken was hot, juicy and tender, yet still crunchy on the outside. And the lunch box with bulgogi meat was delicious and very worthwhile, only $12.50 for the entire box which would fill one person up. It was only $40 in total and we were both very full, so very worthwhile. Decent service, great food.
First impressions are good. Nice clean and warm layout with some kitschy knick knacks at the front counter. Wasn’t crazy busy but bustling as we were a bit early for dinner.
Service is attentive and friendly. Food and drinks came out relatively quickly and didnt have many issues.
We ordered the bibimbap, spicy beef rib stew and the sweet chilli boneless fried chicken.
Chicken was good. Tender and juicy and the sauce was good but i thought it had a lot of sauce. I like my chicken to have a bit of crunch still. Bibimbap came with pork and was delicious standard bibimbap with a raw egg. Spicy Beef stew was written for one but was huuuuge. It was super spicy and sweet and the beef fell off the bone. The potatoes ans carrots were also really tasty. Couldnt finish it though!
Overall it was enjoyable and keen to try other dishes next time!
Came here for dinner with my family on a Tuesday evening and ordered the original kimbap, pork belly & fire chicken with cheese.
Shop interior was nicely renovated & the entire restaurant was mostly filled with people. Seemed like a really nice place to have food & catch up with family/friends.
Food was decent, except the kimbap didn’t seem like it was freshly made, the ingredients tasted dry. Would have been really yummy if it wasn’t premade in advanced and refrigerated for a long time.
Pork belly was nice & had a nice dipping sauce along with it.
Fire chicken with cheese was the best amongst all the dishes we ordered, in my opinion.
Would appreciate a more generous portion of side dishes!
Nevertheless, would revisit.
My favourite place in Glen Waverley.
Mediocre service but there's lots of options, it's good, and it's relatively cheap. My partner says the cold noodle soup is quite good.
Walked into ohsso at around 10:30pm on a Saturday. The vibe of the restaurant was very chill. And the customer service was welcoming. Have tried ohsso Glen Waverley several times and they've never failed to have a smile on their face or just at least acknowledge you when you raise your hand up if they see you. The food was awesome, honey soy chicken wasn't overly flavoursome or bland. It was just right. The cheese corn was very oily but it tasted like a little piece of heaven, the cheese buttery taste mm mmm mm! The dubokki was awesome a delight. Tried a soup also, can't remember which one but it was a nice warm addition on a cold day! Good chill vibes, good eats, good customer service. I enjoyed myself here :)
Went for the first time. Really nice and clean place. Portions are on the smaller side for the tteokbokki and beef bulgogi. But flavour was nice. Ordered the kimchi soup and another one (can’t remember the name) and kimbap and tried the patbingsu in red bean. Serving was fast. Kpop playing in the background so woop. Patbingsu (the shaved ice part) was so nice and creamy yo. Gave us side dishes and water. Defs recommend.
The food was quite nice and the wait staff were very friendly. I liked that there was a seafood option for the bibimbap. Must come back again to try other dishes on the menu!
A lot more variety on the menu here than the CBD street food style store.
The bossam is cut a little thinner to my liking, and this particular piece of pork belly has quite a bit of fat through it. Comes with essentials like salad, kimchi, preserved shrimp, fresh chilli and garlic, and ssamjang.
The kimchi mandoo dumplings is also satisfying, with thin skin and a tasty kimchi filling.
Chive pancakes were pretty crispy as well, but a little on the small side.
A little bit disappointed by the boong oh bbang - the dough is pretty thick and goey, not really crispy and filled with canned red bean, served with a cheap vanilla ice cream.
My Korean friends were disappointed by the drinks, which were meant to have flavoured ice popscicles stuck into the drink, rather than blended with that flavour.
Either way, I'll be back to try the stews and noodles.
Foods were nice, friendly staffs, good for non spicy people, I would recommend the rice cake to be more spicy. Kimchi kimbab was the best so far.
been here 3 times now - staff are friendly, food is fantastic, decor is modern and bright, music is modern. it is rare to find a "spicy pork" dish that is as spicy as the one I tried here - it was awesome.
My 3rd time there, I had the "spicy blood sausage dish" (pictured) - delicious, though looks nothing like the picture in the menu. I couldn't really see the sausage meat in there. We also had the baby octopus (pictured).
I noticed they give "a 5% discount for cash if the order is over $30" - technically I believe may be illegal, as they're charging about 4.8% charge for CC.
Otherwise this is a great place.
No. Of Visit: 3
Rating: roughly 3.5 - 3.8
Truth to be told, this Glen store is many times better than the CBD one (I've a strong urge to just leave the review with one sentence like this, considering this is the dominant thought I'm having... but hey, gonna inform the other foodies right?)
Must try:
Lunch special menu - end 3pm - great money value
Appetiser - beef brisket rolls, omelet roll, rice balls
If you like spicy hot food, don't miss "Spicy Pork Cartilage", it's finger-licking good.
first time trying out this place! great menu selection with simple decor! definately one of my new favourite korean spots! deokbokki and fried chicken are a must!
My family and I ordered bibimbap, boneless fried spicy chicken, and bulgogi. All of the foods were very tasty, however the fish cakes weren't all that good a bit tasteless and boring. The bibimbap was very nice, the fried chicken was juicy inside and covered in a spicy sauce and the bulgogi was marinated and cooked really well.
if you're looking for a place to satisfy your KIMBAP cravings in melbourne, defs come here!! We got the spicy pork kimbap and oh boyyy, it was sooo satisfying :')) it also came in the 'large set' with the spicy rice cakes + 2 dumps + 2 seaweed rolls for $18, so worth!!!
We also got the silken tofu soup, and my friend said they've had better tofu soup than this. It did have a strong seafood flavour to it, and the shrimp wasn't that fresh but overall experience here was good!
They even gave me a free mochi icecream when we left so that is a bonus
I’m loving this place! Nice vibe, very friendly staff and good food. The menu offers a diverse range of Korean goodies which will bring me back for more! I have tried the japchae, kimbap, tteokbokki and gimmari. The japchae was delicious and very well portioned with heaps of meat and vegetables. The gimmari was also very nice and crispy! The tteokbokki however was a let down due to the small serving size and soggy/overcooked rice cakes but still being quite pricey ($10). The kimbap was nice but the rice was cold and hard. Their desserts are a standout too. I especially love the watermelon patbingsu/shaved ice. Presentation was great with heaps of cute and juicy watermelon balls! The mango version is not bad too.
Overall I enjoyed my meals here at Ohsso. Will definitely be back to try out the rest of their menu!
Beautiful Korean fine dinning place, in average going out 5 times a week and live near glenwaverly is just so easy :) 2 people dinner is around $100(big eater like me) great Korean flavoured and with modern twist, love the very well made and cute deco desert...will back here always 😋
I thought this Korean place served up some really good Korean food. Great menu with heaps of options. Traditional dishes with the traditional drinks. I loved everything I tried the flavour packed a punch and some great balanced sauce.
Loved the spicy chicken platter. Definitely coming back. The food was fresh and well cooked. I also liked the interior of the restaurant. The staff was cordial and friendly.
Food: 🌟🌟🌟
Meats were a little dry in our teriyaki chicken plate and beef bimbimbap dish. The spicy sauce did enhance the flavours however the heat was barely noticeable. The kimbap tasted stale and had little flavoring. Portion sizes were small overall.
Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Service was quick and prompt. Staff responded quickly when signalled. A small note that the food did not come out all at once.
Price: 🌟🌟🌟
Slightly higher priced for the quality of the dishes.
Pros: service was exceptional, top bloke! Bibimbap was fresh and scrumptious. Fried boneless chicken had right amount of crispiness and flavour!
Cons: corn cheese was average but other than that not sure why this place has some poor ratings.
This place has absolutely beautiful food at a very reasonable price. I am a big fan of korean food, and I used to frequent kimchi hut, which is another korean restaurant in glen waverley, but OhSso is a lot more reasonably priced for comparable food.
Definitely recommend!!!!! I don't post ratings very often but this place deserves 5 stars and all my support
Really good clean well priced Korean food. Quick and easy. Bibimbap is delicious, potato noodles really yum. Venue is large and accomodating. Staff young and friendly. Music is on trend hip hop but not off putting or loud if you aren't into it. Definitely on the local return list.
깔끔하고 맛있었어요. 비빔밥,떡볶이,김밥,제육도시락을 시켰는데 다 맛있게 먹었어요. 특히 떡볶이는 양이 좀 적어 보이는게 아쉬웠지만 그 동네에서 제일 나았어요. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Awesome food and a great atmosphere! Make sure you try the steak rib plate set and the pork cartilage!
Tried the matcha ice dessert which was a refreshing finish to the meal

I really enjoyed our Sunday lunchtime meal here. Ohsso has opened in what used to be Waya Japanese restaurant, which has moved into larger digs.
The refit has opened up the dining space and it feels less cramped. I really liked the decor. It feels modern and inviting.
Our 3 dishes arrived quite quickly, with gracious and efficient service. The lunch time deal is really quite good value. I ordered the spicy chicken iteration, with pickle, Kim chi, rice and a dumpling or two. The spicy chicken is not incorrectly named. On my hotometer, it rates a good 8.5 out of 10, and I'm used to spicy food. I didn't expect it to be as close to my limit as it was and as such, it required a more patient approach to ingestion.
The potato noodle dish was super tasty, and the rice cake and fish cake dish had a really balanced sweet heat to it.
All up, this restaurant has great potential. Lovely atmosphere and nice, efficient staff. I have the feeling that things will only get better here. Looking forward to take the rest of the family here to try the fried chicken next time. I'd give this a higher rating, except for the fact I'm coming back and I want to have somewhere to go.
Edit... Having now read all the reviews so far... My thoughts are that this place had a difficult start, hence the poor current rating. It seems they've now got things on track so it's worth coming now. Good service, good food and fairly good value.
Definitely worth a try.

Not sure why this place has such a bad rep 🤔 I can only assume they made a few adjustments since opening and now have managed to deliver fairly decent meals. I did heard the food was a huge disappointment upon the initial opening of the restaurant - but safe to say going there after a month or so was definitely a good experience!!
The good: the galbi tang was a hearty meal with a great balance of flavor without being too oily. The meat was on the tougher side but i personally enjoy it more that way. The mushrooms wrapped in the meat (pictured) was a unique option to regular korean restaurant menus. It was my first time trying that kind of dish and it took me by surprise with its deliciousness. I loved the tteokbokki sauce! Though the rice cakes were a mushy let down. Also, i forgot to take a photo but the doenjang jjigae is one i must recommend- not your typical jjigae but still very tasty. And finally, fried chicken had a crispy layer with juicy meat inside. The spicy marinade is a sure fire winner.
Lows: only thing would be the bibimbap - was just quite average and didnt get the crispy bottom layer i really love.
Only came here to drink their beer on Monday night. It's pretty decent, beer cups were cute cus they had measuring ratio for soju and beer mix (for *so-mek*). Ohsso tap beer went down our throat pretty nicely and although air conditioning was quite poor, we got used to it 😁 Their signature dish- chicken giblet was pretty good, but it was spicy 😵and small in portion 😬 I shall come back here to try other foond nek time 😋
Really loved my experience here. The japchae dish was my favourite. Also loved the fried chicken. We went on a super busy night and yet service was still great, we were attended to straight away. Would recommend to anyone wanting great tasting food and a lively, fun atmosphere.
We ordered:
Ddukbokki
Japchae
Kimbap
Kimchi jjigae
Boneless Fried Chicken
We wanted to try different dishes and we weren't disappointed. Friendly environment and kind staff. :) We shared the five dishes amongst the four of us. My favorite was the japchae which was delicious and a generous amount of, a friends favorite was the ddukbokki, and another friends favorite was the chicken. So it's safe to say that all of them were equally tasty.
Great service and food is amazing! Friendly staff. Highly recommend the japchae and the fried chicken! All food goes well with the beer on tap.
Highly recommend the Korean Fried Chicken (garlic soy) and Japchae (sweet potato noodles) at this place; it's one of the best I've ever had! Desserts are also lovely, and the general vibe is great. Will definitely be back.
Pleasant atmosphere, good service and delicious food. The place gives an authentic Korean vibe.
Ordered Rare Beef Bibimbap. It didn't take too long for the dish to arrive however the second dish took a bit longer. The bawl is heated and it was still quite hot after waiting 5 minutes.
Bibimbap exceeded my expectations. Incredible amount of fresh ingredients presented very neatly. I left feeling satisfied.
Beautiful food! Relatively well priced pending on the meals. Very filling, full of flavour. Made me a fan of Korean Cuisine!
Finally one restaurant with no purple rice (I know it's healthy, just taste different.) The beef is really good, better than the pork.
Place had great food with no waiting time (4 oclock on a Saturday). Very flavourful and moderate cost.
Good kr food, reasonably priced. Environment is clean and inviting, warm enough atmosphere. Good staff. Decent deals for students.
