HANSIK MELBOURNE KOREAN RESTAURANT & BAR

Late-night Korean comfort food on A'Beckett Street, famed for fried chicken and generous banchan.

A cosy, lived-in CBD dining room that turns lively and loud once the dinner rush hits, with a laneway-bar energy after dark thanks to the cocktail and beer list.

Diners can note special requests on the order, generous banchan comes standard with every set, and the kitchen runs well past midnight on weekends.

Reviewers with Korean backgrounds and visitors who've eaten in Korea both describe the flavours as genuinely authentic, though one long-time customer notes the Yup Dduk here is a house variation.

Portions are repeatedly called generous for the price, especially the banchan-heavy set meals, though a few reviewers found the spicy beef soup thin on meat on a bad night.
