Poong Nab Dong - Eastwood

Eastwood is a bit of a trek from our house, but we make it a point to visit at least once a month. We are big fans of Korean cuisine and the variety of side dishes here is unmatched - they serve about 10 of them! The BBQ is delicious and the meat is incredibly tender. However,...More

With plethora of korean eateries around eastwood， it can be difficult to find the right one among so many choices. It happen that we were at the other side (non korean) side of hornsby around lunch and with the heat， did not feel like walking across to the other side of station that we stumbled upon this korean shop on the other side of town.Shop is fairly new， with a nice ambiance， no bbq smell and table do not appear to have the usual gressy feel to the furniture. There are multiple options including bbq along with the other usual suspect. Given the heat， we settle on the lighter option of bibibam and ox bone soup and we were surprise to the quality and presentation of the food. Generous portion of bibibam with 6-7 different vegetable serve on a large bowl. Ox bone soup have medicinal herbs and vegetable along with the beef and glass noodle. Both recommended. We also saw multiple tables with fried chicken. Somthing we would try next time and a table ordering bbq. We were surprise by quality of meat being serve. Wow... A must try next time. Overall an enjoyable experience and a surprise to find this on the non korean side of town.

I was delighted to discover this restaurant in Eastwood. The entrees are really good, more tasty than your average Korean restaurant by far. The mains were well prepared and full of flavour. Staff was friendly, and we had a good experience there. Only criticism is the $10 charge if you BYO, and also the lighting could be dimmer, to create a more romantic atmosphere. But well worth a visit.

I genuinely love Korean food. My family took me here recently and I already had dinner here twice within 7 days! We ordered bibimbap; fried shrimps, Ox tail soup; seafood pancake; beef ribs (for BBQ). The food is excellent, I particularly like the Ox tail soup, their ribs are usually very tender. The seafood pancake is good but a bit too thick and doughy. The service is quick and efficient and one of the lady is very kind and offered a pot of hot tea for my grandmother. Very impressed and they also serve a very nice and unique Korean beer!

Having lived in Seoul for a while, I can confidently say that the food at this restaurant is better than most BBQ places in Korea. Plus, you don't have to settle for mediocre Korean beer here. The ambiance is fantastic, and the staff is excellent. My only complaint is that it's a bit on the pricey side.
