Korchi City, Melbourne – The Age Good Food Guide review

Everyone who walks through the door has already decided to order the zha jiang mian (chewy noodles mixed with smoky black beans and pork sauce). After that, it’s a fight between straight-up Korean favorites like sizzling bibimbap or the Korean-Chinese specialties that give Korchi its name.

Tangsuyuk is a light and crispy version of sweet and sour pork. Kkanpunggi chicken, fried and tossed in chili-garlic sauce, is hotter. Feel free to ask for more kimchi and radish banchan pickle.

The sparse space is filled with the buzz of college students, young couples and families mingling over pots of jjamppong, a spicy soup filled with shrimp, mussels and squid. Overordered? Grab a takeaway container from the self-service station.
