I recently walked by Yami Yami and coincidentally found out they specialize in Chunchoen Dak-Galbi (Spicy Chicken). Chunchoen is a region in Korea that's known for this specific type of Spicy Dak-Galbi which comes out in a HUGE pan. Typically you'd leave about 1/3 in the pan and let the sauce simmer to fry them with extra rice to make Dak-BokGum-Bab. I was expecting a half-assed version but was rather blown away how authentic it was :) Not to mention, I loved its rustic vibe - nostalgic.
We ordered Medium Size ($58 - 3 people size) and added Cheese ($5), Rice ($8), and Glass Noodles ($5) to take it up a notch. When it came out, we were all blown away because it was so damn big! It was legit big enough to feed a small village. Medium Size was more than enough for 4 and we even had enough left over for 2. It was mildly spicy with heaps of marinated chicken thighs and assorted vegetables. It was undoubtably tasty but I'd personally ask for extra spice next time to really bring out its flavours. Will definitely definitely visit again!
Pro Tip: Always add Cheese and Bok-Gum Bab to your Chunchoen Spicy Chicken (Chuncheon Dak-Galbi). Just trust
Points for: dakgalbi spicy fried chicken
The Lonsdale St Yami Yami is a little quieter than other Korean restaurants nearby, but it’s still quite good.
Their signature dish is the Chuncheon Spicy Chicken, not often found in many Korean restaurants.
It’s mildly spicy with large chunks of chicken thigh, and you can add to it, like cheese and dukbokki. Also order ssam vegies to wrap it all up.
It’s almost customary to leave 1/4 of it in the pan and add extra rice. They will take it away and fry it all together. Totally overboard but so good!
Good food, excellent lunch menu.
I really like that.
Thank you so much
I will comeback some day
I like korean food and this is a good restaurant. Maybe my favourite, mi food was pork and was perfect
Such a good restaurant I've been. All foods are good and they are not too expensive. You guys should come and try it once. I'm sure you will have a love meal here.
한국 닭갈비랑 비교해도 뒤쳐지지 않고 양도 완전 혜자스러워요!!!
다시 또 오고 싶어요 ㅎㅎㅎ
This place is cozy and the amount of the food really a lot.
We order 2 serve of food but i think its enough for 3.
Feel like im in Korea
The best 'chuncheon spicy chicken' in the melbourne city!!
Adding cheese will be best combination.

It's nice place for dinner. We always come here on the friday nights. Food are nice and services are very friendly as well. High recommend this place
Best place ever, chicken is the best here! You gotta try if you like a bit spicy sweet✌🏼 amazing place since i get to melbourne❤️ and also workers are lovely
Really enjoyed food in good environment. Staffs are also very friendly. Highly recommended to be in this place for korean good food.Food were good than I expected
An interesting one for me. What they lack in flavor they compensate in portion size. The portions are just humongous so it's really nice when you have a large group of people eating with you. Just makes it more fun. Ventilation is a bit bad so you end up smelling like the frying pan when you get out. But don't let that stop you. Order the fried chicken with tteotbokki; sweet, crispy, spicy goodness.
Come here every so often because of the huge portion sizes. Great for a massive feed. Ordered a spicy chicken sizzling plate for 2 people. As you can see it is massive. We asked the chefs to try so.e rice in later and they gave us a cute heart dish back. Best to go during quiet to.es as staff really go extra mile for you :)
Nice Korean place that does dakgalbi which is a spicy chicken hot pot. The Korean fried chicken was good too. Drink specials for soju. Enjoyed it and would go back.
Ordered the signature sweet chili chicken on sizzling plate and I’m simply amazed by the size of the serving. For your reference, this is for two people. Very heavy flavors and just overall very yummy.
We went to this place cuz we were craving for dakgalbi and not all the korean restaurants have this dish in their menu.
So we order dakgalbi x 2. I like that in the menu there is the list of toppings you can add to the basic ones. I ordered a beef bulgogi donburi too.
Prices are reasonable. Portions are big enough. And it was delicious!
Staff is nice and service was fast.
Went here with friends looking for a Japense style sukiyaki after a recent trip to Japan. It didn't have thw flavour we were affer but it was yum regardless. Not too expensive and generous portions. Worth our money, the bbq chilli chicken goes down alright. Service was okay.
