I think it's a very busy place but it is worth it, the lunch specials are good price and tasty, they offer free rice tea, potato salad and kimchi. The lunch comes with a nice miso soup. I will go back and try the pancakes and the chicken.
Credit where credit is due! We have been ordering regularly from Restaurant Gangnam for a while now and it's squarely at the top of our list. LOVE their food. Today our order wasn't quite correct and after a phone call to them, the manager personally came to our office to deliver the missing meals AND some freebies. Now, that's service!!! Everyone's human, mistakes happen, but it's how you recover from them that makes the difference, WHAT A GUY!!!!! Have also dined in at this restaurant and equally amazing food and service. Fave meals - Beef Jap Chae and Kimchi Jeon. Top notch 5 stars ALL the way! Don't miss this one.
Oh and don't forget the fried chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice shop, well ventilated, clean and cosy. The food is not that spectacular, but the bibimbab and kimchi are DEFINITELY worth a try. The kimchi is sooo good. Like seriously, when they have enough supply, they will sell it, and it tastes really good. Also, the bibimbab sauce is magical. The beef one is my personal fave and it tastes really good with the sauce.
Contrary to popular belief, ginseng chicken soup 🐥💦 isn't traditionally eaten in winter to keep people warm. It is eaten on the 3 hottest days in summer 🌞 because it's believed that eating a medicinal soup will replenish the nutrients lost from sweating. Maybe I should have been Korean all along, I drink hot tea in summer and eat icecream in winter.
With that said we're not in Korea and can now taste the iconic dish this winter at @GangnamPerth 🤗. The whole young chicken was stuffed with rice, ginseng, red date and purple potatoes, boiled till tender and meat literally falling off the bone 😋. I actually ate a lot of the bones because they were so soft and just disintegrated in my mouth. There were mushroom floating in the broth, shredded omelette as garnish, as well as salt and pepper on the side to season to taste. The soup was very mild and pure in flavour but got fatty towards the end as it cooled so you might wanna eat it quickly while it's still piping hot.
If you're into #KoreanFriedChicken 🍗 you must have @GangnamPerth at the top of your list. We totally adored the crispy, golden and crunchy batter, along with the juicy flesh in each and every piece. I don't normally like my fried chicken drown in sticky sauce so the sweet chilli on the side was more than enough.
LA beef ribs 🍖 marinated in garlic, sugar and soy sauce was sooo delicious, I'd definitely recommend eating them with steamed rice to fully appreciate the sweet and salty sauce. They weren't the cheapest things though, with 9 thin pieces costing $23.
Although the main dishes were more than satisfying, Restaurant Gangnam sadly don't have the best kimchi and bean sprouts 🌶🌱. I found them both rather bland and lacking seasoning.
Great value for lunch price, otherwise it’s a bit on the pricey side. However, the foods are great. Love the bibimbap. Spiciness level, medium. More on sweet side.
Someone recently asked me if I liked Korean food. I had to really rack my brain and try to think about what Korean food I’d actually eaten before. I could recall thoroughly enjoying Nene chicken wings last year, but that was about it and also a visit to Arirang Korean BBQ many, many years before, but that was about it. So I was excited by an invitation to Gangnam Restaurant Perth at the Waterford Plaza in Karawara because Korean is a cuisine I’m really keen to learn about.
Take Me To Foodie Heaven

Located at Waterford Plaza, Karawara is neighbourhood Korean eatery called Gangnam. Gangnam is a relaxed eatery that has an extensive menu of Korean food and delicacies from soups to Korean BBQ. We had the Seafood Soft Tofu Jigae ($17) which comprised of mixed fresh seafood with tofu, vegetables and a dash of chilli in hot spicy soup. I love Korean soups and how heartwarming they can make you feel especially on a rainy day. To me, Korean soups are definitely comfort food for the soul. The seafood soft tofu jigae at Gangnam was deliciously heartwarming and had a lovely hint of spice to it. I really enjoyed the soft textures of the tofu floating around in the soup.
Great food with great lunch specials, not really for kids or families though as they are geared for students or those who work nearby at the university. If you do come here with a stroller, you may struggle. Best to come outside of their lunch rush hour.
Ordered the tofu bibimbap, beef bibimbap and the rib soup. All delicious and well priced because of the lunch special. They do rotate their specials from time to time.
We ordered the seafood and tofu casserole for main and fried oysters for entree. It was really yummy and we absolutely loved it. However, the service was quite poor. Not very attentive waiters due to short staff. Definitely will visit again !
Gangnam never and ever disappoint me once. Amazing food as always. Love the spicy pork bimbimbap, pork bulgogi and , solf tofu casserole, KIMCHI ❤️.
Lunch special at Gangnam Karawara, service was fast, but felt like the meals quality had reduced and the portions were a bit smaller now, used to provide free flow of tea, but now only water. Kids liked the original fried chicken. I had the spicy pork bibimbap, the taste was more to the sweetest side, I had had better spicy pork somewhere. Overall it is an OK meals.
Gangnam is one of authentic Korean restaurant in Perth. The food really delicious. The fried chicken crispy, the seafood pancake also good. If you want soup but not spicy, gal bi tang soup one of the best! This restaurant is famous with bibimbap in the hot stone.
The rice cake also really delicious. We will comeback again to this restaurant!
Delicious food and great service - the server was friendly and funny and made sure we were seated as soon as possible, even though the venue was full at lunch. Try the chicken Japchae!
Excellent place but recommended to come early before crowd comes. Meat platter is good and reasonable priced.
Great ambience serving delicious korean dishes! A little bit overpriced so expect to spend. Otherwise, highly recommend!
It's quite pricey but food r fresh n yummy
