How we read reviews →South Melbourne Japanese-Korean café known for pork katsu sando, hoedeopbap and strawberry matcha
Simple, bright and busy daytime café with a queue at peak. Friendly counter energy and a lively brunch crowd, plain rather than polished in decor.
House-made rye shokupan, house-made kimchi and sides, a seasonal menu, a rice set and congee section, and occasional monthly set dinners.
Modern Japanese and Korean fusion rather than strict tradition. Dishes like hoedeopbap, jangjorim, congee and ochazuke are given café-style twists.
Divisive. Fans say the quality and inventive flavours justify the price, while others find portions small, extras like hash browns steep and surcharges adding up.
