How we read reviews →A hidden Balaclava arcade gem where Grace's Korean-Japanese fusion menu wins over locals and expats.
Cosy, intimate izakaya-style room tucked in a Carlisle St arcade. calm and quiet enough for conversation, with warm hosting from Grace that regulars describe as feeling like family.
Homemade kimchi (including a distinctive mango kimchi), a rotating weekly hotpot special, and a Korean-Japanese menu spanning sashimi, bibimbap, katsu and Korean stews.
Praised by Korean, Japanese and Chinese-speaking reviewers for authentic flavours. several describe dishes as better than what they've had in Korea or Japan itself.
Consistently described as great value. reasonably priced dishes with generous, fresh ingredients relative to the cost.
