Loved all the main dishes here, especially the LA galbi beef ribs! Really nice flavour and tender. The snowing cheese fried chicken and spicy chicken cheese buldak are good options for groups. Service was also friendly and the vibes were nice for a late night drink!

Gangnam Pocha is such a hidden gem in Melbourne CBD! The food is authentic and comforting, with generous portions that really hit the spot. The fried chicken was massive — crispy on the outside, juicy inside — and the LA galbi ribs were so tender and full of flavour.

This Korean restaurant has quickly become one of my favourites in Melbourne! The cheese buldak is a must-try—loaded with gooey mozzarella and the cheese pull is incredible. The fried chicken was huge, perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I also ordered the LA beef spare ribs, and the special soy sauce complemented the tender meat so well. Generous portions, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere make this spot a standout. Plus, they have a fun promotion where if you stop the digital timer at the three-second mark, you could win a free menu item!

Absolutely loved our experience at this Korean food spot! The staff were genuinely lovely, polite, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish was presented so beautifully. The attention to detail in the presentation really stood out. The cleanliness of the restaurant was also impressive, creating a calm and pleasant dining atmosphere. It’s clear that both the kitchen and front-of-house teams take great pride in their work. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish, we’ll definitely be coming back!

The staff’s warm greetings and excellent music selection made the experience even better. The crispy chicken skin was perfectly cooked without being greasy, and the combination of octopus and pork belly was simply perfect.
