    The unpretentious, vintage room offers a refreshing escape from flashy dining trends, commercial queues, and inflated costs.

Hearty, home-cooked staples prepared with traditional Korean warmth and generous portions

  • Bibimbap

    possibly the best bibimbap I’ve had in Sydney. Such a simple dish, but so often not done right. This one was moist, perfectly balanced in flavor, and came with banchan that was simple but spot on.
