Great authentic Korean food, you don't get much in terms of portion, so it is a bit on the pricey end if you are a big eater. Very smokey and be sure to bring a change of clothes if you are intending to go out afterward.

What a great find! This Korean restaurant tucked away at the wrong end of Little Bourke, has to be one of the better Korean food experiences I've encountered in Melbourne. Food is fresh, authentic and generous.

Staff are courteous and attentive (there's even a buzzer at table for service requests!) and the place has a clean and streamlined funky feel quite unlike most other Korean eateries. Great place for a group of friends around the table BBQ or enjoy any of the authentic Korean dishes on the menu. Will be back!

It was fabulous, you can go intimate or as a large group, the bell is a great idea as service is fast. Great value for money, drink, kimchi soup, BBq grill for $30 per person. Very smoky but the place rocks! Lots of fun, food great!

By far one of the best group dinners I've had the last few years. The enigma has had me in suspense for weeks. No website. Few reviews. Mainly word of mouth marketing. I had to scour the internet for websites and found some pictures that made me drool.

Food- The Kim Chi is unforgettable. Best I've tasted, although I've only been to Melbourne korean restaurants. We ordered the 3 meat marinade banquet consisting of pork belly, scotch fillet, and chicken breast. The meat is laid out on the hot barbecue and attended to regularly. We accompanied the meat with a pork kimchi soup, in which we ordered a second round. Korean Cass beer complimented the variety of kimchi side dishes.

Ambience- Layout was great. Spacious, without needing to bump into other patrons (as you would in some Asian restaurants where 50 is crammed into a 30 seater joint). Very lively which suited the atmosphere.

Service- very concise. No-bull straight to the point service. The waiter/s didn't even seem like he spoke much English, however, delivered great service whenever needed. One thing I'm surprised the previous reviewer did not point out was the Bell stuck on the table. The bell is to be rung whenever service is required, which made the experience unique.

Value- After all the BBQ meat, soup, kim chi, and two rounds of beer, it came to less than $33 each. Great value.

Differentiation- Look out for its superb Kim Chi dishes and use the service bell as much as you can. I hear their Sojo on the alcohol menu is quite nice. Will try next time.

Where do Koreans go to eat Korean food? Hwaro! Everytime I go to or go past this restaurant, it is always busy. With home style Korean food, and great bbq, the highlight is actually something else - the service. It's just at another level of friendliness.
