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.
John Heng Seafood Pancake
Very solid seafood pancake, super crisp edges, very homey, packed with seafood.
Eva Fried Chicken
combo platter of fried chicken. went fr the honey soy and garlic chilli flavour fr $32 and there were about 5-6 pcs each. the chicken was incredibly flavourful and tender.
Celine Tan Pork Bulgogi
Pork bulgogi is the highlight of the dinner for us. Sizzling on a hot plate, fragrant and well flavoured.
