Joo Mak - Melbourne

Insta: melbfoodie_mark<br/ YT: MelbFoodieMark<br/ Check them out for more food reviews in Melbourne!<br/ <br/ A hidden underground Korean pub near MC known for its distinctive Han Ok interiors. My Korean friend said it looked just like pubs in Hong Dae in Korea. They open 7 days a week and close very late ~3am) so it's a perfect place to swing by for late night drinks and food.<br/ We tried their Fish Roe Cheese Egg Roll, Kimchi Stew, and Takoyaki. I personally found Kimchi Stew sub par. It didn't have enough kimchi and other ingredients inside and ultimately lacked flavour. My favourite was Fish Roe Cheese Egg Roll. It was fluffy and juicy with a savoury kick from fish roes. It was a simple side dish but went really well with ice cold Asahi beer. Takoyaki wasn't that bad. I know it's not freshly made but it was only $8 for 10 pieces! It was delicious enough to eat as ahn ju.<br/ I didn't get a chance to try their famous fruit blended rice wine cocktail and Korean style pancakes this time. Would love to visit again for them later!

Probably the best rice wine in the town! the ambience goes well with the rice wine and soju which make Joomak a perfect place to chill and hang with friends.

Come here couple of times, i should say they have the best korean pancake compared to other korean restayrants i’ve even been to. Love the egg roll cus theres tobiko in it, great kimchi soup. But i think with the prices we would normally get a bigger portion for the meat dishes at other places, but will def come back, the place has great atmosphere as well

A well known place for rice wine rice peach wine especially, my fav. Normally come here for the rice wine, never really the food. Plus they 're on Zomato Gold : '1+1 on Food '.<br/ <br/ Ordered:<br/ Beef Rib (LA Style) $18

Visited Joomak again recently and left just as satisfied as the first time. This place has definitely gotta be one of my top Korean restaurants in the CBD. I love that it’s tucked away underground, and I like the booth-style seating where you can press a button to get the waiters attention. My top picks for food have to be the LA Beef Galbi, Tteokbokki and Kimchi Pancake. Definitely recommend!
