How we read reviews →Carlton Korean cafe on Lygon St serving fried chicken rice bowls, bibimbap, kimchi jjigae and hotteok caramel lattes.
Cosy, quiet Seoul-style cafe with a quirky vintage-industrial fit-out and a floral canopy at the front; calm for brunch, busier with families around lunch.
Jujube matcha and hotteok caramel lattes, injeolmi and choco pie coffees, purple rice, banchan side dishes, trio dessert toast, katsu sando, rice cups and outdoor seating; drinks reportedly stop after 3pm.
Korean-run, cafe-style Seoul menu with traditional jjigae, bibimbap, ssambap and banchan; reviewers split, some calling it authentic and others below Melbourne's best Korean.
Many call portions generous and prices fair, with a rice cup around $12 a student favourite; a 10% weekend surcharge and some thin drinks draw complaints.
