Trendy interior with heaps of neon lights but that's pretty much it. I got Curry Rice with Chicken Schnitzel which was okay - nothing special. I got a chance to try my friends' Korean Fried Chicken and Pork Belly Dosirak but they were also mediocre. A good place to come for a date but not for quality food

After uni, I headed here for a delicious Korean bowl of rice. Bibimbap is done best at Oppa Kitchen. They specialise in Korean rice dishes with a variety of sides to share. I recommend their Spicy Pork and Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap - definitely my favourite. The rice is fluffy, and the proportion of rice to portion of meat and five-coloured healthy ingredients is perfect. I loved how cute the presentation, with the even layout of the ingredients - a traditional 'spiritual harmony' displayed.
Each of the vegetables were seasoned well with a nice hint of salt and sesame oil, that went well with the flavourful meat, the star of the bibimbap.
Other dishes we ordered were the Beef Bulgogi Dosirak and the Grilled Beef Steak Meal Bucket. I loved the addition of the crispy potato croquette on most rice dishes, which was so fluffy in the inside and crispy on the outside. The Dosirak, was mostly made of rice and very little beef compared to the bibimbap. The Grilled Beef Steak in the Meal Bucket was a bit tough, which wasn't very enjoyable to eat. On that note, the salad was a bit too sour for my liking.
I've had other dishes from my past experiences. The best thing from this restaurant would have to be the bibimbap. Their curry dishes are very delightful to eat and rich in curry flavour and aroma, does not taste like high quality as it may taste a little grainy. Their fried chicken and fried rice cakes can be a little bit on the dry side, and the marinade can be a bit salty from the gochujang. Other than that, everything is worth trying, and is an affordable meal that can be enjoyed on a lunch break or a catch up with friends.
I should’ve ordered the bibimbap in the stone bowl, anyways i thought the place was okay but husband enjoyed it thoroughly.
Oppa kitchen is a causal restaurant in the heart of Melbournes CBD offering inexpensive korean food.
While the portions look small; the food itself is rather wholesome. My personal favourite dishes are the meat buckets and the boneless korean fried chicken. Order both and you won’t leave hungry!
This spot is perfect for a cheap and quick lunch or dinner.
I ordered a Grilled Beef Steak Bucket, and oh boy, it was good! I love how the charcoal taste lingered in the meat enhancing the flavor. Also, it was well cooked. The meat was not dry and tough. The meal was also comprised of leafy greens, half of a potato croquette, a slice of cucumber and an orange, and with the rice splashed with a bit of the beef sauce.
It looks like a simple meal, but once tasted, gets better and better.
Downside is the size. If you are a big eater, this may not be enough. However, I am happy with the portion as it filled my belly just right.
Post lockdown, Oppa Kitchen was doing well. Physical (Social) Distancing was observed and sanitizers were available.
Will surely come back for more!
I went here with my friend, the food was nice. I enjoyed the meat. It tasted like it wasn’t frozen.
I have only been here twice, the first time was really good. I had Dosirak and the fried teokpokki. The fried teokpokki is just amazing. Great sauce, not to much, not to little and the texture is crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. The Dosirak is my boyfriend and my favourite. Meat cooked perfectly, got the smokiness from the grill, along with delicious sauce and refreshing citrus salad. I also had the budda jjigae, which was my first time trying the dish, it was really yummy and tasty soup.
We were serve by a helpful and friendly young lady, which she was so happy to help each of our requests. The place is really clean, neat and tidy.
The only thing is they don't really serve many condiments like traditionally Korean would do, there is a free kimchi available if you request but not sure of the other condiments.
Definitely will come back for more!
Oppa Kitchen is synonymous with Delicious Korean Goodness.
I had the Spicy Pork Bulgogi Dosirak. The bulgogi was yummy. A perfect amount of spice and sweetness. Great quantity. 5/5
Also tried bongbong which is a pulpy green grape juice. It's so refreshing.
I love the taste of the food. Very warm and cozy environment.
One of my favourite place to eat out in cbd with reasonable price.

Clean and cosy. Quick service. Didn’t need to queue up even on a Friday night.
Ordered large fried chicken wings and spicy chicken noodle. Both the dishes lacked flavour. Small portion size as well.
