Jan Chi offers a modern take on Korean cuisine with dishes packed full of flavour. Prices are definitely on the higher side for Korean rice bowls, but the portions are more than generous and quality of produce is top notch.
Delicious crispy and sticky boneless fried chicken, tasty pork belly bao, stir fried glass noodles and kimchi fries, and surprisingly loved the pan fried rice cake! All over great meal - we’ve had takeaway from here twice during the lockdown 😄
I haven’t been here in a while and my partner and I were looking for somewhere for dinner and we called in here.
The service was excellent, friendly and welcoming. What a great start.
We ordered a 5 course meal of duck, KFC, fried rice and some other goodies. I was really impressed, especially since my last visit.
The food was all steaming hot, except for the duck. It was all excellent quality and just delicious, everything was sooo good.
For what we got it was reasonably priced and I’d definitely go back again.

We got some take away tonight from here tonight. I ordered some pork belly arancini balls which were tasty but there wasn’t many.
The boneless chicken was good, but my bad, as I ordered the sweet and spicy yum yum sauce was too sweet unfortunately.
The braised brisket bun was ok but small. Maybe a mouthful. Finally I ordered some pork belly and kimchi fried rice.
This dish was alright, it had a bit of spice but it was just boiled rice and I didn’t get any pork belly.
The portion sizes were small, even for entree sizes. Overall we were both still hungry.
This place is one of my absolute favourite restaurants.
The Feed Me option is really great to try all of the dishes that this place offers. My partner and I often do this option, however come hungry as there are around 8 dishes with the Feed Me option. The Taste Jan Chi is another great option, where you select 5 dishes to share from the menu. We have yet to get a dish that we haven’t loved. Usually with places there’s always a few dishes you don’t like, but I have loved every dish we’ve tried.
The waitress is fabulous. Excellent service. On busier nights she still manages to keep waters topped up and takes orders and make all the drinks.
A definite recommendation.
Jan Chi Korean Feast is a casual contemporary Korean restaurant in Richmond that aims to showcase a different side of Korean cuisine to Melburnians.
Great vibe, and food was amazing. Highly recommend the mushroom rice noodle. Will be back again with friends, I want to try out more dishes.
Really good feed! Lamb ribs fall of the bone and tasty, highlight was the chicken wings though, good size, juicy inside and crunchy and sticky on the outside with great flavors. Some of the best. Friendly and efficient service, well worth a visit.
A busy place with a good vibe. Was very happy with the food and service was very friendly and attentive. Started with the lamb ribs which were flavoursome and fell off the bone. Chicken wings next we’re yum, very fresh chicken. Thought the burger was quite good too, the flank steak was a little chewy but mainly due to it being cooked rare. Got a half short rib which was very decent in size. Very happy to have been and one that should be paid a visit too
Had an amazing meal today. Dumplings in broth was perfection a cold day. Bulgogi was fantastic and the chicken burger delicious. Laid back and relaxing place playing great tunes in the background. Waitress was spot on and friendly too. Everything was cooked expertly with great presentation and delicious. Definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place
Having tried many Korean fried chickens around Melbourne, I would rate the KFC here one of the best I’ve had. The chicken is juicy and tender with crispy skin well coated in sauce on the outside. This was the highlight for the group.
Other dishes ordered were baos, kimchi fried rice and assorted kimchi which were all enjoyed and devoured. Hoping to end the night on a high note, the chocolate brownie did not quite deliver its promise. Would probably give dessert a miss in future but for the rest of the food, we shall be looking forward to a ‘jan chi’ here soon
Modern take on Korean dishes. We decided to go with the best of janchi set which allows us to pick any of the 5 dishes on the menu for $43 pp. KFC and the duck was just okay, lamb ribs were soft and not gamey. The beef steak wasn't that soft but the sauce was good. The kimchi fried rice was the best thing, the rice was toasted and the seasoning was spot on.

Really tasty and interesting food and cocktails. Arancini and boneless chicken were amazing. Really friendly staff too :))
Modern Korean food.
Small restaurant with friendly service. Additional seating available outside.
Food was all excellent!
Pork & Kimchi Rice was a highlight, as we're the Sticky Lamb Ribs.
We will definitely come back to try some of the other dishes.
A great little Korean fusion restaurant / bar. Went for lunch and had the lunch share option -5 dishes. More than enough food for us. The place is small & attracts a young / hipster clientele - however, the food had a sophistication that was over and above the surroundings . The fried chicken was delicately coated, not over-fried and great mix of sweet and savoury. The sweet sticky lamb was like a deconstructed Korean braised dish -찜, could have eaten 10 plates. The rest of the dishes were Korean fusion done right. Highly recommended.
Some of the best Korean food I have ever had, I will be back with friends!
Hello to my growing follower base,
Tonight’s dinner was an absolute feast! Went with the 5 dish experience and I’ve never had such tasty meat varieties from chicken to duck.
Dim lit vibe, only about 8 tables inside to give you that secluded experience. Also wonderful bar to add to the vibe. Thanks heaps!
We did the chefs menu and everything was delicious and we left very satisfied! My fav dishes were the fried squid and the Korean fried chicken but it was all amazing. Even the bowl of bok choy was some of the best veggies you'll ever eat. The service there is always lovely, the waiters do a great job at making you feel welcome. Thanks for another great meal.
Amazing food lovely service! Will deffinately come again!
