One of the more authentic Korean-style Chinese restaurants in the city - they are known for their Black Bean Noodles, "JjaJangMyeon". The sauce was savoury with a hint of sweetness. You can tell they add a lot of extra ingredients to make it extra flavourful!
We went to Korchi City for a quick early dinner, and it was a great choice. We ordered the bibimbap and zha-jiang myun (noodle with black bean sauce) and both meals were authentic, delicious, generous in portion, and came with a complimentary side of kim chi. Service was friendly and efficient, and we loved the k-pop channel they had on the tv – it completed the experience!
Absolutely love Korchi City. They do delicious authentic Korean food and is very popular among Koreans. We had the jajangmyeon and the tteokbokki, both of which were huge portion sizes and very affordable too. Both dishes were delicious, especially the jajangmyeon which is probably some of the best (and one of the few places that do it) in Melbourne! Although the venue is quite cramped, it’s definitely worth a try.

a place that I’ve been taken to that has two things that I’ve always wanted to eat!!
first impression: a small store hidden in little Bourke street that plays k-pop (yay) and a great crowd of diners. Looks like this is the joint everyone’s been going to lately.
food: went here for two specific dishes so we got those.
jajangmyeon (black bean noodles): serving size was great for 2. Flavourful and honestly the best one I’ve eaten! The craves for this has finally been settled. I like how pickled radish (how it should be) was also served on the side! Then two compliment each other so well.
tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork): I’ve seen so many kpop idols say this is one of their favourite dishes to eat and I start craving it when I see them eat it. It’s rare for korean restaurants to serve this and since they only do sharing sizes and not for one servings it does become more expensive. The crispyness of the batter in the pork was absolutely perfect and was it tender once bitten. The sauce was made well and I just kept eating it. I was one happy gal!
Service: staff are very welcoming, made sure we were seated asap and provided menu upon seating. It was a quick order as we knew what to have! We asked for extra utensils (scissors) and they were happy to provide one and sharing bowls, staff was very well mannered.
Overall, Korchi is a great place to go to with friends and family. The dishes they offer are really good and I’d recommend people to come and try this restaurant. It is chinese korean but mostly focused on the korean side of food. If you’re a k-pop fan, dine her and enjoy the music they play on the screen 👍🏼
There was a 15 minute wait but that was fine. It was the busiest time of the evening and it shows how’s good the food is in this place. There were working class and families plus a few table of students. The place is moderately priced but the food is very tasty. We got the bibimbap very quickly but the noodles took extra time. It is a great place for a quick meal.

This place was chosen by our dearest friend who knows how much we love exploring places and food.
To begin with we wanted to try Korean Alcohol and not aware of the basics, we ordered 3 bottles of Jinro Soju. To our utter embarrassment, we were told by the attendant as well as the owners that this isn't a diluted version of Alcohol. We all had a hearty laugh and chose to go with one bottle of Strawberry. What a way to celebrate Ozzy's Belated Birthday by our beloved friend Mahi ....Korchi city serves one of the best Korean finger food as well as Noodles in the city.
While we toasted to our friendship and Ozzy's Happiness we also orders our main courses.
Ggan Pung Jee (Chicken), Gagan Sho Sae Woo(Prawn) and Pork Bulgogi.
Bulgogi was definitely the Dish of the Day. It was so flavorful and yummy.
Second best was the Prawn which was another level of good food.
After all those flavorful plates, Chicken dish was a bit underwhelming. Had we gone for the chicken first, we could be sure of enjoying it more.
Attendants are very friendly and happy people.
Vegans might not have much option to choose from but there's no harm trying.
Sochu here is a must.
Definitely returning. 😊
All dishes pictured tasted great - 탕수육 was actually crispy unlike most places and 짜장면 had enough bean flavouring (compared to some blander options in the suburbs). As usual, side dishes are welcomed :) Servings sizes are also very generous here. Good value place in the city for a decent night out.
Only let-down is probably service time (around 40 minutes for food) - however, the waitresses are extremely friendly and considerate and even gave us complimentary cans of soft drink for the long wait.
Area is nice and vibrant with a good crowd vibe. Tables are averagely sized, and the place’s cleanliness is standard without having a sparkling feel.
They always deliver! The food is not only authentic, it is also served super quickly despite being lunch rush! Beef hot stone bibimbap is my all time favourite and portions are generous here so bring your friends!
Zhajiangmian is the best one
Honestly had the best jajangmeon and tteobokki here and it was so cheap for the portion size. I wouldn’t be able to finish it so we ordered two to share to try both! Their rice cakes is probably the best ive had! So much flavour and love their side dishes too especially the kimchi. Will definitely be coming back :)
best jjajjangmyeon in town!
always on the top of my list on a cheat day or when i need something filling 😌 love the black bean sauce here since it doesn’t have that really strong (herbal) taste (idk how to describe it but the chunjang sauce here is mild and very much my taste 🥰 their tang su yuk (sweet & sour pork) is so good, the flour coat is thick JUST enough not to be soggy by the sauce, but not to be too thick that you get sick of it.
and the best thing about Korchi is you can have UNLIMITED kimchi & the yellow radish 😱 the portion is HUGE, def good value for money. If you decide to go for dinner, make sure to make reservation cause they usually have a long queue 😉 Highly recommend this place!!

Good place to grab Korean food in Melbourne, taste not that authentic, but still good enough..
Food is good in price and quality.
Although the service was just fine, I would love to still go have some tries !!
I live the fried rice, because it made me think of “mother’s cooking dishes “ 🥰🥰🥰
I am not from Korea, so I don’t know how exactly like in traditional Korean taste! However, for me ... they are good enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
By the way... it’s big dish!!
$13.80 for a big bowl of noodles. So yummy.
