Hansang - West Melbourne

Came here for dinner with a small group and we rolled out with our Korean craving satisfied . One of the only Korean restaurants I've been to in Melbourne with 10 free side dishes to go with your meal. Were opted for the banquet for 4 which included a starter, 4 mains, mini stew, rice and icecream. The dishes were authentic and everything we tried was exceptional.Overall I'd definitely come back and make this one of our regulars.

Loved the beef short ribs! It 's no trick to cook beef ribs to 'fall off the bone ' or 'melt in your mouth ' (as the Western palates prefer), but! It does require some culinary skills to do this cut justice: tender meat still a bit resilient against your teeth, flavourful juice coming out with every chew, easily off the bone with a gentle bite on the connective tissue which is full of collagen and texture. Exactly. Cooked. To. Perfection. You can hardly find any lunch better value than this for only 15 bucks! Soybean paste stew was something not often seen on a Korean menu and it turned out to be more like a tomato based stew than doenjang based as I 'd expected. Not bad though.

The best Korean restaurant in Melbourne! Can’t believe they been around for the past 3 years.. comfort Korean food at its best

Went the second time to here, hands down side dishes are just amazing. Tried spicy beef soup which was super duper spicy. Lol should have believed them when they say spicy. Also tried this fish stew which was very fishy, fish was nice and soft and felt a lot like homecooked. Seafood pancake was beautiful. We weren’t unable to finish the dishes so we took some home and it only costed us $25 for a dinner so that was really good value.

For family style Korean dining, Hansung is worth coming to with a small group.<br/ <br/ A lot of Korean restaurants might give you 2 3 side dishes, but Hansung will stock you up with like, 10 side dishes of different varieties. I could just have a small bowl of rice and side dishes and be happy.<br/ <br/ The grilled mackerel was delicious, naturally oily and slightly salted from a curing process. <br/ <br/ Kimchi Jjigae spicy, acidic and warming stew, it had a good depth of flavour.<br/ <br/ It's comforting to see many Korean locals frequenting the restaurant as well.<br/ <br/ Come here for an authentic Korean experience!
