2/5/25 - 2.5 stars
A pretty long standing Korean spot in central Sydney CBD which really leverages peak hour pricing. Honestly, a lot of Sydney is expensive and especially KBBQ so shouldn't really be that surprised, but, it should at least be good quality right?
Inside is pretty cozy with brick walls and wooden furnishing. Idk what they're trying to do with the lighting, but, it's flickering so quickly it makes you feel like things are moving in slow motion (as can be seen by the black bars on some of my photos). Staff are helpful and frequently change the grill which is good. Ventilation is ok but it still gets a bit smoky.
We got the big set for $260. This itself is not that expensive but drinks were really pricey. 3 soju, 4 beers and 1 makgeolli for $100.
Banchan: A, 7/10. Average
Fried chicken: B, 6/10. Not particularly crispy, juicy or flavourful. In fact, probably a bit bland
Seafood pancake: A, 7/10. A bit oily and with a lot of batter but not much ingredients
Beef tartare: S+, 8.5/10. Definitely the best dish. A lot of sesame oil can do wonders but the nashi pear was nice.
Seasoned rice: B, 6/10. Too much mayo
Beef: S, 8/10. Overall good but not very much at all. Marinated bulgogi and beef rib were the best cuts
