★★★★★“Every time I come here for samgye-tang, it always hit the spot. The sticky rice and chicken is high quality. The side dishes pair really well! There is limited seating though, so may need to keep that in mind if visiting during peak.”

★★★★☆“I am happy to be the second patron of the day, as there was a queue forming 22 mins after opening! The staff was friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the perilla seed samgyetang. The broth was delicious, though I didn’t quite catch the ginseng flavour. While it may not compare to the samgyetang I had in Seoul, it’s definitely a comforting bowl on a chilly Melbourne day!”

★★★★★“I feel so lucky to be able to enjoy such rich perilla seed samgyetang in Melbourne! The regular samgyetang was delicious too. The broth was really comforting.. If you’re looking for something hearty, this is definitely worth trying.”

★★★★★“Very well priced — the chicken soup set is $28. We arrived around 5:50 pm and were seated at about 6:20 pm. It’s a small restaurant with approximately two 4-seater tables and around six 2-seater tables (please correct me if I’m wrong). The food came out quickly, and we loved it :) If you prefer not to wait, takeaway is also available.”

★★★★★“If you are looking for a meal that feels like a warm hug come here. I had the samgyetang, very tasty and hearty. The side dishes are unlimited. I also recommend their ginseng tea, it is tasty and in my opinion pairs well with the soup. The atmosphere is relaxing.”
