This family owned joint serves homestyle Korean food in peaceful wooden surrounds. They are generous with their complimentary appetisers (I particularly crave their delicately fried fish), and service is always very warm. I recommend the chilli chicken, chilli pork belly, cold noodles with kimchi and their crispy seafood pancake. Serves are quite large (we often have to take the leftovers home). Expect to pay $10 to $20 a head without drinks. Oh yes, the desserts are ginormous, I've never tried them however.

We ordered the Chili Chicken Hot Pot, disappointing! For $32 we expected the chicken to be better quality than just drumsticks! All the appetisers were nice though.

The restaurant staff were friendly and brought out a few yummy side dishes for free. We ordered the chili chicken hot pot and were quite disappointed because it had chicken drumsticks and they were very fatty. The sauce was lovely, I just wish they didn't use drumsticks! I didn't think that the meal was good value for money.

This is the best Korean restaurant in Eastwood or even in Sydney. Big call, you may say, but believe me, because I am Korean. Food may not be as delicious as other Korean restaurants but that's because they don't use MSG, which is abundantly used in many Korean restaurants. I tried various dishes and most of them were quite good. I can tell seafood is fresh and the way they cook them is healthy. Service can be improved, though. If you are after just shallow and instant deliciousness, try other places.

I am a Korea-born Aussie, who lived in Eastwood/Epping Area for last ten years. And without any doubt this place is at its best for taste/value of the food. All grilled fish is my favourites due to their authentic way of preparing the fish. They use no MSG, which I love the most.

My recommendation is Grilled snapper (which needs around 30 minutes of cooking so booking is essential), and fish roe hot pot (single serve). If you make it around 6~8 pm, you will be also be able to taste their beautiful appetizing soup.

A very good suburban restaurant, seems like family run and has that charm about it. Not as big as the other adjacent restaurants but it doesn't have to be, it is clean, good decor and not cramped.

The menu has the standard bbq meat selection but I love the hot pots. The is a seafood tofu hot pot, comes out in a casserole pot...it's a little spicy but all so yummy. My favourite is the mushroom (enoki, oyseter, shitake) with bulgogi hot pot, easily feeds two adults, when the soup reduces down, it is so sweet with rice. Heaps of complementary side dishes, including grilled sole and a pre appetiser (sometimes), very good value.

The spicy fried chicken is also good..can't explain why though. Just watch out for the grilled herring or sardines, if someone orders it, the whole room including your clothes and yourself will catch the 'fragrance'.

The food was great. It's a nice cosy place with decent staff and please disregard the earlier review about the food not being authentic. I've been to Korea and they serve food like this restaurant does. The servings are generous and nicely presented. I'm looking forward to going again.

Nice little cosy Korean restaurant, the food is nice but not huge portions unless you get hot pot which is great for a group eating there. The service was a little slow and when we gave them a cake for them to keep for us until after the meal, they didn't even put it in the fridge for us, it was warm when we got it after the meal. The prices for the food are very reasonable and it definitely is a nice place but not the best Korean restaurant in Eastwood

Food doesn't taste good. I don't think it's authentic Korean food. Perhaps you can say that this is a Malaysian/Singaporean+Korean style restaurant. I would not recommend any of my friends to go there and I would never visit this restaurant again.
