Yeodongsik - Food NSW

5 /5 Simone: Loved the natural taste of the food! The pork soup, crispy pancakes, and noodles from my lunch were unforgettable. Worth the 40 minutes waiting. However, service needs work. Only two waiters were juggling everything. I had to fetch my own utensils twice and even borrow scissors to cut my pancakes. They are trying hard, but more staff is needed. Ill be back for the food—its that good!

5 /5 Chloe Tan: Didn’t get why there was always a queue when we walk pass, esp when their food on Google reviews didn’t look too different from other Korean restaurants - besides the puzzling fact that every review seems to have ordered some veggie looking noodle and loved it. So we decided to try it one day when I saw that there was no queue. Tried the strange noodles that everyone was raving about, as well as the prawn pancake. I was surprise that my husband actually liked the noodles! Considering that he loves his red meat and is usually not keen on anything solely veg related. The pancake was also crispy and chewy - which is my preferred texture for Korean pancake but not always so commonly found in Korean restaurants we’ve tried. So though the dishes were simple, we actually very much enjoyed them! Especially with the very simple but pretty restaurant setting. Sound proofing can definitely be improved, but it was not too noisy when we were there. Would eat again, though I’m not sure if I would queue for it. $22 for perilla noodles does feel a little expensive considering there’s no meat.

5 /5 Matthew: Absolutely worth the wait This was my first time visiting, and I honestly regret not coming earlier. I had heard many times that this restaurant was previously Licom, and friends had been coming here even before it received its One Hat award. After finally dining here, I can confidently say it truly lives up to the reputation. We visited the new Eastwood location for lunch. Although it opens at 12pm, there was already a long line by 11:45am. Even on a Tuesday, the wait was around 45 minutes but worth it ! The space is modern, bright, and thoughtfully designed. While there aren’t many tables, the spacing is comfortable and never feels cramped. The seating is solid and comfortable, the table settings are elegant, and the lighting is soft and welcoming , everything feels calm and intentional. The menu is concise and purposeful, favouring precision over excess. We ordered the buckwheat noodles with perilla oil and the pork soup with rice The buckwheat noodles were deceptively simple yet incredibly aromatic. The perilla oil added a deep, nutty fragrance that elevated the dish, and the flavour lingered pleasantly on the palate after each bite. The pork soup with rice was outstanding. The first impression broth was aactually watery and a bit tasteless but adding the saeujeot was key it brought out the flavour from the , milky-white beef bone broth, the natural sweetness and depth. It was served with generous portions of pork belly, pork ear, pork maw, and pork heart. Despite the variety of cuts, the soup was remarkably clean and balanced, with absolutely no offal smell. It was warming, comforting, and deeply satisfying the kind of dish keep thinking about after the meal. This is the kind of restaurant that makes people happy to line up again

5 /5 C Richard: A cosy Korean spot with a focus on comforting, homestyle dishes. The perilla noodle has a fragrant, nutty aroma that stands out, offering something a little different from the usual noodle options. The prawn and chives pancake is nicely done, especially the texture very crispy on the outside while still packed with filling inside. The dwaeji gukbap is hearty and warming, with a rich broth that makes it a satisfying choice. Overall, a solid place for comforting Korean flavours.

5 /5 JC 24: Yeodonshik Eastwood is hands down one of the best Korean food experiences in Sydney. The quality of the food is outstanding. Incredibly soups are full of flavour. The banchan are authentic and well balanced. Service is attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere feels genuinely Korean, not overly commercial, which makes it great for both casual dinners and special occasions. Yeodonshik Eastwood is an absolute must visit. Highly recommended.
