Such an amazing job at creatively blending flavours. We got the set menu which was $80 per person. The menu changes regularly but I'm sure it'd be just as amazing as the one we tried.
đ„ŹBanchan - side dishesâ â
đEohwe - raw king fish, picked garlic-scapes & crispy quinoa brown riceâ â
đŠSaewoo Jang - chilli preserved king prawns, cucumber, seaweed, perilla, pearl-barley rice, sesame seedsâ â
đGanjang KFC - korean fried chicken coated in spicy-soy marinadeâ â
đYassam - Pickled white radish wraps, cucumber, nashi pear & perilla leavesâ â
đGgori-jjim - Korean style soy braised oxtail, potatoes, broccolini, dates, shiitake, black fungus, brussel sproutsâ â
đMoon-eo Dolsotbap - Poached octopus over pearl-barley rice and seaweed in stone hot-potâ â
đŠSsuk chocolate ice cream - Mugworts, salted chocolate ganache ice-creamâ â
â â
We started our meal with an array of classic korean side dishes. The tofu was really tasty. â â
â â
The very first bite of the kingfish impressed me because it was bursting with flavour and spice. I loved the crispy rice.â
When we were served the Saewoo Jang, I was in awe of the presentation. The flavours were incredible, I loved the spiciness. â
â â
As soon as I read the menu, I was excited for the fried chicken. This certainly did not disappoint because it tasted amazing. The crispiness and sauce was impeccable. â â
â â
The most refreshing part of the meal was the yassam. It was an interesting dish because there was a mix of sweetness, sourness and crunchiness. I've never had pear in my dinner.
The oxtail had so much flavour, the seasoning was on point. The stone pot were also really yummy.

We finished off our meal with ice cream. Mugwort was a new flavour for me, it tasted like tea. I enjoyed the inclusion salted chocolate which added a new texture.
Absolutely delicious. Iâve been meaning to come here for a long time and I think it was even better than Iâd expected. A charming family-run restaurant with the parents cooking up a storm in the kitchen and the front of house ably run by the son and daughter-in-law, I love how these dishes, which taste like cosy home-cooking, have been plated and presented in portions and style (on beautiful plates!) that turn it into a fine dining experience. Not a dish that we didn't like, and accompanied by Korean beer: a treat.
Happy to have discovered one of the best new Korean restaurants in Sydney. My wife is Korean and she says it's the most authentic food she's had outside of Korea.
Highly recommend lunch menu and lunch specials!
Also, do yourself a favour and grab a pomegranate ade - delicious!!!
