Mong's Kitchen

Tried Mong’s kitchen for the first time. Nice ambiance for small family with young kids. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food is traditionally cooked, very nice, bibimbap is yummy, and soup is spicy, the staff did warn it us. The portions are good. We really enjoyed it. Oh.. they closed on Sunday even though it stated open on Sunday in Google.

Absolutely fantastic Korean restaurant. Service is prompt & friendly and the menu is very good. The fried chicken is beautiful, tender & juicy. Even cold, the next day, the chicken was delicious. Portion is good. The bimbinbop was delicious. Highly recommend to try, it will be worth the visit. Close to South Melbourne market & public transport.

Mong’s Kitchen served delicious flavourful (spicy!) Korean dishes that were perfect for weekday work lunches. The service was friendly and the venue was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend their set meals - I especially loved the ebi mayo.

Pretty tasty!! Was pretty satisfied with our orders! Side dishes were delicious and main meals were delicious too. I wish they gave some cabbage kimchi as part of the side dishes, as kimchi is the main side dish of Korean cuisine. However, not too big of a deal as you can purchase some for extra and they do provide other side dishes which were delicious as well. I am glad they offer 뼈 해장국 on their menu! I think it has a slightly more modernized menu to suit the demographic, however still tasty. I would like to try the other dishes next time.

A small local Korean restaurant from South Melbourne Central with a good selection of classic Korean dishes. Had the following: - Noodle topokki with rice cake, fish cake, vegetables, pumpkin tempura and boiled egg; soup was more sweet than spicy, nothing was overcooked and too soft - Bone haejangguk; spicy soup with pork back-bone and vegetables. Mildly spicy, savory and herby with little bits of meat - Boneless spicy soy garlic chicken; a mix of white and dark meat, tender and with a slightly crispy coating. Not many places does spicy + soy garlic flavour together so it is a plus - Beef japchae; soft chewy stir-fried glass noodles fully coated with flavour with a nice contrasting texture from the vegetable and beef slices - Donkkaseu; deep fried pork cutlet. Pretty big portion, breading was crispy with a thick cut tender pork. The sauce was like a thick runny paste, more sweet and less tangy compared to the Japanese tonkatsu sauce - Spicy pork sizzling plate; spicy, savory and sweet, the chili paste was caramelised onto the pork belly and vegetables, packed with flavour - Seafood kimchi pancake with squid, prawn and spring onion; very crispy throughout the whole pancake; a lot of ingredients and not just heavy batter. Most places would only give you an option to choose between seafood or kimchi filing so this is a major plus Overall very tasty food and relatively cheap for it's portion size; nothing was underwhelming, highlight was definitely the seafood kimchi pancake and beef japchae. Food took a while to arrive but we did ordered quite a lot and it was served all at once. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

The service was so very warm and friendly. To me, that's one of the nicest things to sit down to. Now to the food. The Sun Doo Bu (tofu and seafood stew) was such a hearty, slightly spicy, and super yummy dish. The spicy pork and squid bulgogi was worth every cent. Pair the food with a nice Kloud beer and you have a winner on your hands. Gonna head back to try other dishes for sure.

it’s right next to the exit so you probably will missed it, it was quiet on the Monday afternoon, they have some pretty good deal for 1x entrées, 1xMain, 1xsoup served with rice & salad. we added boneless chicken w garlic soy flavour. for myself i have the chicken Bulgogi as main, friends of mine have the chicken katsu, with Mayo Prawn as entrée. they all taste delicious. The Boneless chicken were so crispy from the outside, juicy from the inside. the soup were a little bit too little but it’s doesn’t matter to us.

Absolutely amazing food, reasonable price tag, never waited longer than 5-7 minutes.

My favourite Korean restaurant in South Melbourne. Nice customer service. A great place for lunch due weekdays.

Great place to eat in South Melbourne! Food was quick and very tasty, you can tell the ingredients are fresh and food is made with care. We ordered the set menu and is well worth it. Keen to go back and try other dishes!
