Korean/Japanese
398 Lonsdale Street
Melbourne 3000
So on the first day of the holidays, I decided to catch up with my old time
best friend. We decided that we would find a nice place to have lunch to
celebrate her birthday. We were originally going to Mook Ji Bar, but when we
got there, it was closed even though there was a sign saying that it opens at
11:30am. Instead, we walked along Lonsdale Street to find another place to eat
and this place happened to catch our eye! It was still early when we sat down,
but by the time we started eating, more people came.
Yaki Udon - Beef $11
This was the dish that my friend ordered. There were different flavours for
the Yaki Udon such as chicken and seafood, but
she chose beef. I tried a bit of it...and it tasted so good! They definitely
got the sauce right for it - enough flavour, but not too salty. There was plenty of
sauce and the noodles and beef had a chewy texture that left you wanting
more.
Bibimbap $13
I felt like trying a Bibimap so I ordered one of course! There was a special
name for this one, but I forgot. It was nice, but the Yaki Udon was better. The
beef was well marinated but I wish they would add some sauce to the rice so
that it didn't taste so plain. The miso soup that came with it was nice but it
was cold by the time I drank it. Lesson learned...have the soup first!
Miso Soup (came with the Bibimbap)
They also had complimentary side dishes. I don't know the exact names, but there
were bean shoots, potatoes in a sweet sauce and kimchi flavoured cabbage. I
absolutely loved the potatoes and the bean shoots (my personal favourite Korean
dishes). I think that anyone who can stand spicy food would like the cabbage as
well (I can't deal with spiciness, but I did like it).
It was a good find for sure. We just walked in since it looked like a nice
place. Definitely going back to try some of their other dishes since there were
gas stoves incorporated into the tables (covered by a metal plate). I assume
they are for the hot soups on their menu which I need to try! I think it’s a
good price for the quality and proportions - both my friend and I were full for
a good 3-4 hours afterwards.
Price: $10-$15 standard dishes, $30-$40 for hot soups (for two people)
