K-food purists keep packing into this West Melbourne dining room for one undeniable reason—the banchan spread. Ten plates of free-flowing sides drop before you even order. Savvy diners zero in on the $39 set menus. Utterly ridiculous value. Expect bubbling cauldrons of earthy doenjang jjigae and intensely rich kimchi stew to anchor the table. The spicy stir-fried octopus packs a serious punch, while the pork hock delivers a flawless meat-to-fat ratio. Those who know the drill always lock in the LA galbi—charred, sweet, deeply savory. Finish with a hit of black sesame ice cream. Fast, generous, completely unpretentious.
