What Daniel Orzelek likes about Kobow:
This place is exactly what center city /Chinatown needs!! br/ Since i moving to sydney CBD i haven't much luck finding decent Korean food and was super excited to check this restaurant out. br/ br/ I chose the seafood pancake to start and fried dumplings as my entree. The seafood pancake was the best I've ever had and they were generous with ingredients. My bf's bibimbap was just okay though i did advise him to orde... View all feedback. What Lynn P doesn't like about Kobow:
Selected from the after 10pm menu. Extraordinarily hot seafood dish.... My husband could not finish it as it was an extreme experience... and he is not easily defeated. The watermelon salad was a pleasant dish... but for the price not good value. Very noisy in the basement seating area. Have been to better late night Korean restaurants. Will not return.

Late night beer and noodles. Super salty and spicy. Exactly what I was looking for. A student crowd drinking beer towers and sharing hot pots. Open until 3am.
