REVIEW: KOREAJUNG
December 8, 2015 · Linh Nguyen
Korean food has been gaining popularity over the last two years. A cuisine that
used to be quite foreign to many Adelaidians three, four years ago, has now
made its own unique mark known in this city. Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and
Japanese are the top cuisines many people would come up with when it came to
speaking about Asian cuisine. Now, Korean cuisine is quickly becoming a well-
known and liked cuisine on its own. There is even a Mexican-Korean fusion
restaurant in Adelaide now (Hispanic Mechanic on Glen Osmond Road).

Restaurant front
Situated on Leigh Street among the bars and cafes on this quaint little English-
inspired cobblestone street in the west end of the city, is Koreajung. Price-wise it
sits the same at many other similar Korean joints. Around $10-15 for entrées and
$15 to $30 or so for main dishes. The restaurant is quite big, much bigger than
what you would expect from just looking on the outside. Korean people are
known to be quite warm and friendly and this was the case here also, as the
service was adequately friendly and diligent.
I loved all the dishes in particular the kimchi pancake which was absolutely
delicious. Kimchi is a spicy, fermented pickle that is traditional ina Korean diet.
They make this pancake dish quite differently from other places I have had it.
There was an addition of sliced pork and squid in the pancake and I prefer this
version over others because of it. It was also much more crispier and less oily.
Although, I found it strange that the number of meat dishes were only available
during lunch times and not dinner. This was quite disappointing as we were not
able to order any meat dishes along with our meal. The ddeokbokki (spicy rice
cake in red pepper paste sauce) was also quite expensive at $25 a dish. The
portion size did not seem to justify this price in my opinion. Other Korean
restaurants I have been to, this dish would have a maximum asking price of $15.
The best part about eating at Korean restaurants are all the side dishes you get
with each meal and Koreajung was not exception. Here the wait staff rolls out
your side dishes on a cart. It is an assortment of different Korean pickled
vegetables that includes pickled bean sprouts, cucumber, braised potatoes and
of course the signature kimchi pickles.
Koreajung is located on 13 Leigh Street in the city and is open seven days a
week, 11:30AM to 2:30PM for lunch and from 5:00PM until 10:00PM for dinner.

Shanghai style street food,

Godi La Vita is the newest
