678 Korean BBQ – Haymarket, Sydney

Monday, 18 Nov 13

Radish and spring onion kimchi

Google search: “Ang Korean BBQ”. No search results found. “Ong Korean BBQ”. No search results found. “Goulburn St Korean BBQ”. That’s not the right place… “What on earth is that Korean BBQ place called???”

I’d walked past a nondescript Korean restaurant on Goulburn St, just next to Iima restaurant. There wasn’t a clear entrance, just a door leading to a pair of lifts, with a white sign with stylistic red brush strokes, which I simply could not decipher, regardless of my Google search permutations. So I dragged Tim there  (as you do), ignoring his best “are you dragging me down here to kill me?” look.

I’m thankful I did. I  do believe we have found the Korean restaurant with the most complimentary side-dishes within the Sydney CBD. Two types of kimchi, sugar-syrup-drenched sweet potato, a sour-spicy cold radish soup, and hot egg soup, that the waiter gave me a strange look for when I told him we hadn’t ordered it, and said plainly, “Side dish.” I think I’m in love =P

The meats are nothing to scoff at either. Upon entering, we walk past a wall of autographed k-celebrity posters and a refrigerated display of fresh meats, rippled with intramuscular fat. The menu is predominantly beef or pork, with a couple hot stews and cold noodle dishes. Meat portion sizes can be variable – we ordered beef tongue twice with inconsistent cutting styles and serving size, but it is undoubtable that the meat is fresh and of good quality. The list of wagyu dominates and so has been our main area of interest – we’ve found it to be melt in the mouth tender, and well marinated.

On our last visit, we also sought to broaden our culinary horizon. Mulnaengmyon, or chilled buckwheat noodle soup, was equal parts sour and savoury – the noodles chewy and slurpable, and the soup refreshing to sip between bites of meat. Yukhoe, or what amounts to Korean beef tartare, is creamy in texture, punctuated with the juiciness of nashi pear.

We finally worked out the name of the restaurant as we paid the bill. “So, I was just clarifying…what is the name of the restaurant?”

“678.” Well… duh.
