Before the lockdown, I went to Hwatu for an easy catchup with my friends!
Ordered:
🥘 Spicy Sausage Hot pot (large): army style hotpot with pork belly, spam, sausage, rice cake, baked beans, mixed veggies & ramen with 2 steamed rice ($35.00)
🍗 Fried chicken: half and half original and spicy
🌽 Corn cheese
🥞 Korean pancake
Review:
The quality of food at Hwatu is pretty good, but what was better was the quantity. So affordable per person, especially if you don't add on a drink 🧐. My friend paid around $20 for his portion! Our friend paid less than $20 and he was full!!
For the food, the corn cheese was also unique and delicious. The budae jjigae was also delicious, with lots of hearty ingredients inside the stew. Everything else was okay as well!
Seated upstairs, they had fun decor. They've decorated the inside to look like you're sitting in a tarp, making it very Korean-esque. It brought some of my friends back to their time in Korea 🤣.
Definitely consider Hwatu on your list if you're in the Lygon st area. A great place to catch up with friends.
Had chives pancake, tofu soup and fried chicken - boneless spicy and original with bones. Everything was delicious! We were seated upstairs, which has more of a street food feeling - round aluminium table, small round chairs and blue tarp covering the walls. Good dining experience overall.
Minor point: we added corn cheese and beer to our order and had to cancel cause they took too long.
Here for the second visit. The food was excellent and the staff are always very welcoming, they made every effort to provide excellent service. Would definitely recommend!
Pork Belly Sizzling and Seafood Tofu Hotpot are my favourite! Yum yum!
Love Korean food!!! also Uber eat. I can enjoy the super delicious and hot food at 10:00pm. can stay warm at home. love this spicy food for my supper. I order uber eat twice in a month , had good experiences and food are up to stand . will try to dine in with friends next time.
We had ordered boneless fried chicken (extremely spicy version) through UberEats. Best Korean chicken ever!The chicken was tasty and just had the right amount of sauce. Absolutely yum 💯 Added this to my list of cures for late night hunger pangs 😬
Food 4/5
Service 4/5
Environment 4/5
Lygon Street does not only have an Italian restaurant but this Korean lunch store. They provide valuable lunch for us today. The lunch box includes purple rice that is my favorite and some small dishes also taste amazing. The beef is tender and fresh. The Bibimbab come with a good homemade sauce and soft rice, which is perfect to mix them together. They also have special for a drink, the milkshake tastes good that is rich in milk taste and not that oily. It is a good place for lunch.
Service is impeccable! The waiters really knew his food and what to recommend which the Creamy Garlic cheese sauce with the chicken is a must.
The ramen with the rice cake was delicious and the chives pancake was soft and crispy. The sauce really adds that extra oomph. Definitely a cool place to check out and eat with ya gal pals
和亲爱的室友一起来的,本来一直在lygon街走来走去都没注意到这家店,光线太暗。今天中午冒着变胖的风险也要来吃炸鸡。嘻嘻
店的装修需要先吐槽一下,刚刚提到的,光线太暗,不容易被人发现,中午来的时候整个店也就我们两个人。
菜的量还是可以的,我们两个人点了一个half的boneless chicken,甜辣口味,虽然不是很辣但味道还是不错的。石锅拌饭,没有放在石锅里面,但看在量很多的份上,给个好评!最后是炒年糕拉面,比我想象中的量多!味道也是很传统的韩国餐厅的炒年糕味儿,但如果把它当主食的话,会有些腻。
室友说这家的seafood pancake不错,但我俩胃口有限,今天就没有点。下次可以再来试试~
Korean food is always a great hangover food! This place, food is not bad but very positive experience here because of customer service! Awesome guy working in the front. He gave us free extra rice (because it’s about to close and maybe they don’t want to chuck it). Kimchi jjigae always the bomb! Chicken was great, me and the guys were fighting for it. Fun night. Positive experience here.
Ordered via deliveroo, and I enjoyed it so much!!!
Looked like they did take care of their customers in detail as they packed my order exceptionally carefully. Even gave us banchan served for 2 people
I tried the dumpling and kimchi soup. My friend had their corn cheese and bibimbab. And we were all satisfied!!!
Definitely will spend sometime to visit and try their bbq :)
