What Declan Murray doesn't like about Oriental Spoon:

Not bad, not bad! By Melbourne standards, at leastI would give it 3.5 stars but +0.5 star for the location/convenience.

The restaurant in question claims to be Korean, but many reviewers found the food to be more Chinese in style and lacking in authentic Korean flavors. Some diners experienced problems with communication and incorrect billing when paying by card. However, overall, the restaurant received praise for its efficient service, spacious dining area, and tasty hot pot dishes. Many customers enjoyed the large portion sizes and reasonable prices, as well as the attentive and friendly staff. The restaurant seems to cater well to groups, families, and couples, with some diners already making plans to return on future visits to Melbourne.
