Since I JUST moved to Brisbane, I had to rely on my fellow Yelpers. Thank you Yelpers for being there for me. I was also reassured when I walked in and it was ONLY Korean people customers. They only brought out 3 tiny dishes of sweet potato, pasta, and kimchi. I am used to a more varied selection of at least 6-8 mini dishes to start the meal off. The kimchi was fantastic though! I will give them that. I don't know if that's how they do here in Australia or just at this particular restaurant. Our meals came out in an appropriate amount of time. I ordered the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap and it was pretty tasty. Not the best I have ever had but filled the craving. We also had the No. 22 with chicken and rice and spicy seafood soup. The ladies are now fans of Korean food! :) The water they served us was really nice and ice cold. The service will come to you if you need them but they won't really bother you. When you're ready to go, you just come to the counter and pay there. After going to eat here, my roommate and I discussed Korean food. She is a big fan and said that this is one of the top two places so yeah! Thanks Yelpers for making my first Korean experience in Australia a yelp worthy one.

It was already $40+ for two plates of meat without the sides and mains. You're looking at spending at least $60 pp if you're trying to get 2 plates of meat + side dishes.

I am stoked that I ended up at Nom Nom! The beginning was a little rough. I'm not sure how I felt about the exchange with the lady that took my order. Let's just say I've had better service. I couldn't really decide on what to get; a couple of things caught my eye. In the end, I went with the spicy Korean wings. They took a while to get out, and the lady told me they would, but they were well worth the wait. They were tangy, messy, a little bit spicy (zip might be a better word) and delicious! The wings were gigantic. This is easily one of the fullest meals I've had in town. The wings reminded me of the fried wings you'd find in Korea. I'm sure that sounds like it would be obvious as the place was a Korean eatery, but not all places taste like the country they claim. These wings came with fries as well. The only thing I'd change, aside from the reception was probably less sour cream. A touch was nice, but there was a rather large glob of it and I had excess upon finishing the wings and fries. For anyone wanting to try, and you should, the wings are plenty to fill you up. I almost had to tap out.

But I've yet to try these, instead favouring their Japanese-inspired dishes when I went for lunch recently. I went for a Japanese-Indian fusion classic -- the Katsu Curry set, which comes with rice, miso soup and salad for a good value $13. The meal came out quite quickly and I was impressed with the freshness of the hot battered pork chop. There was ample rice and tastily gluey curry sauce. There's plenty on the menu that has piqued my interest. There's also a sushi train with dishes ranging from $3-8. I'll be coming back to venture beyond good old reliable Japanese curry.

Great new place that looks like it's slowly finding its legs! I came here a couple months ago when…read moreNoritor had just opened and honestly, the place was quite empty and the mood sullen. However, after giving it another try for dinner one evening, I con quite confidently say that the much touted Korean places in the city (Maru and Madtongsan - I'm looking at you!) have another competitor that can go toe-to-toe. The first thing that separates Noritor is that it's on the ground level and has ample open space for everyone to sit comfortably in the semi-open air restaurant. The second is that Noritor specializes in dol sot bibimbap (stone rice pot). I've tried the beef and spicy calamari options on 2 separate occasions and have walked away satisfied. Particularly with the calamari, I found that there was ample squid and the level of spicy sauce and gochujang (tangy chili sauce) mixes well together. There are the typical shredded carrots, cucumber and sprouts, and I normally take the kimchi side and mix it into the stone bowl as well to give the dish an added kick. Noritor also touts itself as a Korean-Japanese restaurant so naturally I had to try the karaage (fried chicken). It was quite different from what I'm used to since the chicken was drizzled with sweet Japanese mayonnaise and mustard. Typically, the chicken comes with a side of ponzu or is just served dry. However, this interesting little mix of sauces wasn't bad at all! Also, the chicken had the right amount of moisture and was not dry in any sense of the word. Prices were in the normal-higher range for the Korean restaurants. $15 for the dol sot bibimbap and $7 for the karaage. The service was a bit chaotic since it seemed like there was only 1 person running around for the entire place. However, it was fairly well organized and the food came out in a timely manner. Definitely a place to try for lunch and/or dinner. The only downside is that the air conditioning doesn't seem to be turned on since the restaurant is open to the street. Therefore, if you're looking to eat any hot food, you might find yourself sweating a little bit. But otherwise, good food and good environment equals a satisfied customer.

I always say it's pretty difficult to go wrong with Asian cuisine. Sadly, it was here that my…read moretheory was disproven. Chingu is a Japanese and Korean restaurant located in Chinatown. I've eaten a lot of Japanese food in my time, so I decided to try one of the Korean dishes. In their defence, I did decide to be adventurous and ordered something I'd never tried before, so that could have been the problem. It sounded promising; beef, noodles and vegetables in a miso based soup. I was a little disappointed in the portion size; I have become accustomed to the extremely generous portions served at most of the restaurants in Sunnybank and thought Chinatown would be similar. This might not be a fair criticism, as I have a pretty big appetite coupled with the fact that I hadn't eaten lunch that day, so it's likely I would have been disappointed with anything less than the whole cow. I tucked in and sadly I was disappointed again. The flavour was lovely but it just wasn't strong enough for my taste. My dish also came served with a small bowl of rice, as did all the mains. I'm fairly sure this wasn't the correct way to eat it but I improvised and threw the rice in my soup, making a thicker concoction and I'm sure any staff watching me glower in disapproval. I tried some of my Friend's meals, most of whom ordered safer options such as teriyaki noodles. I would say overall about half of the group were very happy with their meals, while the others weren't.
