Best authentic Korean in town and value for money. Small and cosy place. For winter this is the place to be. Galbi soup for the Win! If you're feeling sick.. Galbi Soup wins again. Clear soup.. Mmmmm
My friend and I were craving for some hot tasty Korean stew, when this uniquely named restaurant caught our attention. Is Phill Bean the owner? Is the speciality dish beans? Or maybe the owner just felt like Phill Bean was the correct name for a restaurant. We questioned our GPS as it lead us through the neighbourhood and much to our delight, we pulled right up a small row of shops. The interior felt very relaxed and homey, and the waitresses were kind and prompt with our orders.
I ordered the galbi stew, which came out piping hot and with a fresh bowl of rice. The meal tasted like a home cooked meal, the flavours aren't striking or sharp which is a testament to the lack of artificial flavourings. The meat was tender and fell off the bone. I was pleased not only by the meal, but by the pricing as well, a place which would make keep many restaurants honest.
Definitely will return again. And we did find the answer to the name of the restaurant, but you'll have to find that out when you read the first page of the menu!
Wow what a neighbourhood gem. We travelled 25min to get to try this place based on the high reviews. It lived up to expectations and was worth the drive. We tried the rice cakes, seafood pancake and spicy pork bulgogi. Every dish was flavoursome and delicious. Food came out and service was efficient. It worked out to be $20pp and we were stuffed. Already planning our next visit!
Casual place in the Shelley suburb for some authentic korean food. The food is relatively cheap with a decent serving size. Friendly and fast service.
Food is good. Staff is very friendly. It is authentic Korean restaurant. It is doing local business. Recommended to try out. Price is reasonable. Will go there again.
A neighbourhood gem this place is. Serves authentic tasting Korean food, with many of their customers being Korean. Went on a random weekday for dinner and before 6 pm the restaurant was already really busy with families having dinner. Had the pork bone soup to warm myself up. Pork meat was fall off the bone texture and the soup was well seasoned. Side dishes were refreshing. The meal was healthy and not overly greasy
Overall delicious, comforting hot soups and dishes especially if you're not so up for Korean bbq. From what we had, only let down I reckon was the pancake, not very flavorful, a bit too much batter and not enough of the other ingredients (ie vege/seafood).
Lovely Korean restaurant tucked away in the middle of Shelley. I have been here for quite a few times. They do set menu for 2 people, 4 people and etc. I do recommend everyone to try their set menu and you would get to taste their variety of entre and mains. I like their gal bi tang (ox tail soup) and jap chae. Their ventilation system is better compared to your normal korean bbq restaurants.
One downside of the day: waitress forgot my order and I had to wait 30min for my soft tofu soup.
But the soft tofu soup was DELICIOUS and this is coming from a Korean who loves her soups 😂
Friends got the beef bone soup which was also delicious
You can also get the set menus which are slightly pricier but you do get a decent portion of food
When I crave Korean food- this will be my go to.
Dont expect clean interior as the building is quite old and there is no a/c so gets very hot
Also they should hire more waitresses the poor girl was so busy
Parking is not a problem as it is free in the block
Quick and casual place for korean food. The food portion is good and it is quite authentic, we tried the tok-boki, seafood pancake and beef bulgogi. The food is quite nice and service was quick and hassle free. The side dishes are also included. Pricing wise it is very reasonable compared to other korean restaurants, so if you’re looking for value for money, this would be the place.
We enjoyed the food and service was pleasant. We particularly liked the noodles, beef bulgogi and the spicy pork soup. Will likely visit again to try other dishes including their set menu which looks rather interesting.
Amazing Korean food. Probably one of the best venues to get Korean food in Perth. The food is authentic, affordable and well portioned. The restaurant space has quite a few seats but they are usually understaffed so there can be a bit of a wait for food. The wait is always worth it though! Of special note is their kimchi pancake and their stews which are best in class!! Pay a visit if you’re in the area!
It's my first time at Phil bean. My friend has been there many time. She recommended me to order set menu. We chose Jupiter set so you get 2 starters, 2 soup 1 sizzling and 1 noodle dish to share. It was good value for $25/person so you can try a bit of everything.
My pork bone soup was delicious and the spicy pork bulgogi was yummy too.
It was busy today lucky we got the table but I'd recommend for anyone to make a booking
Oh, lucky am I? Served by a friendly and polite young lady who spoke with an Aussie accent. This restaurant started about 5 years ago. The dishes we ordered were Tokbokki, beef bibimbap, spicy squid, and kimchi pancake. The sauces for all dishes gave a balanced taste, not salty and not sweet. The flavours were just nice. All dishes were tasty. More like home cook type, and we didn't feel thirsty after the meal. By the way, the kimchi pancake is not the crispy type but a bit soft that may meet your choice. This restaurant is also suitable for family gathering. There are enough free car parking bays around the Shelly Hub. Cheers!
Easily one of the best, most underrated hidden gems for Korean food in Perth. Delicious food and a menu that ventures past the go to dishes, makes this place very exciting. The set menu options are so fantastic.

I’m glad that Phill Bean is located close to where I’m staying as the food is absolutely amazing! Clean and healthy and it certainly fills you up. This is going to my all time favourite Korean restaurant in Perth.
If you’re a fan of JaJeungMien (black bean noodles with ground meat), be sure to order this at Phill Bean. Make sure you get the soup as well, we’ve ordered pork bone soup and it tasted really refreshing and it warmed us up especially on a rainy day. In terms of drinks, be sure to order the Honey+red dates tea, it’ll definitely soothe your throat.
In overall, we really enjoyed our dinner here, will be coming here again real soon!
Went in late on a Monday night (we arrived around 8.40pm and the kitchen was about to close even tho the closing time from Google was 9.30pm) we have been greeted from the friendly waitress and been told that she would squeeze us in, after having a look at the menu we were a bit disoriented but she was able to guide us through the selection of the dishes, we picked the vegetables bulgogi the beef short ribs and the egg and tofu soup, our favorite was the ribs, was sweet full of flavour and super tender, everything was delicious so we made sure to don't leave anything in the plates.
The ambience is cute, really simple and functional, I believe it was some sort of dance school, it's one of the shop in a small neighbourhood shopping center, perfect for families and friends low budget dinner.
The food was delicious well presented and the staff knowledgeable and friendly.
5 stars all the way
Thanks.
Really good and traditional Korean food. I go to this restaurant nearly every week and it has never dissatisfied me!! It can get busy sometimes but it’s not a really major thing. Phill Bean offers free side dishes which some other Korean restaurants might not. The jjajangmeyon and 물냉면 is by far the best I’ve had.
