Restaurant: Seoul-Ria (Sydney, Australia)

At first we just enjoy the art of cooking your food while we eat, chat and drink with friends.  That's how we started loving Korean Cuisine.  Nowadays, Korean food is part of our lifestyle.  I cook it at home (I learned how to cook Bulgogi, Tuna Pancakes, Kimchi Stew and Kimchi) and eating Korean cuisine when we dine out has become a regularity.  We are constantly on the lookout for great Korean restaurants and in one of our quests, we found Seoul-Ria.

Seoul-Ria is considered one of the best Korean restaurants in Sydney.  Located at Goulburn Street, you need to get into an elevator that will lead you to Level 2 of the building and as the door opens, voila!  Welcome to Seoul-Ria!  It can accommodate up to 140 diners but during busy hours, be prepared to queue up and wait.

It was busy when we arrived on a Thursday evening after work.  The place wasn't full but we had to wait a few minutes for the staff to clear a table for us.

From the Korean staff to the KPop videos played on TV, we get transported to a "Seoul-like" atmostphere.

Their attentive staff served us a bottle of water and banchan (side dishes) as soon as we were seated.

Since it was our first time, I can't wait to try their Kimchi Pancake (Kimchijeon).  We were surprised to see how huge it was when it came.

It was tasty, thick and filling.  All you can taste in this beautiful dish is the Kimchi. Also, it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be.  We only finished a quarter of this dish and had it for take away.

I was specifically craving for Black Bean Noodles that night and this dish did not disappoint.  Perfectly-cooked noodles with blackbean and pork sauce.

It looked like Champorado (Chocolate Porridge) hehe.  This dish was very saucy but I truly enjoyed my noodles.

The Husband had the very colourful and healthy Bibimbap.  Steamed rice topped with vegetables, beef strips and egg.
