NaruOne Korean Restaurant
(650m from Hilton Sydney)
Half and Half Chicken GangJeon AUD36
*Pretty decent fried chicken and a large serving that definitely can be shared among 3. Good but not over the top great. Perhaps the bone in variety would have fared much better.*
Beef Soup AUD14
*A total let down. The soup is really blend and comes with clear noodles*
Spicy Pork Back AUD14
*I should have checked out my previous review. Although the soup is good, there's hardly any meat to the pork back. Stick to the spicy beef which is a hit!*
Fed3 at about 27AUD each
Ordered on:
14June2016:
Korean small dishes
*Complimentary small dishes free for top-ups.Having since been to Korea and developed a liking for kimchi, I must say their kimchi is to Korean standard. *
Beef Cabbage Soup with Beef Short Ribs with rice AUD18
*Really good. Beef is nice and tender, with meat falling of the bone. They do give
sufficient ingredients and the meal is hugely satisfying, especially during the winter
months. Good serving size, and a single chili symbol ain't all that hot, leaving only an
empty bowl at the end of the meal.*
Seafood Spicy Tofu Soup with rice AUD17

It's been a long 2years since coming back here, so much so that they've shifted their operations to the upper floor and it looks better and larger.
Great orders so far are their spicy beef and seafood tofu soup.

price. Well worth and a satisfying meal.*

I've been meaning to try their fried chicken and ginseng chicken dishes as well but they're so huge in serving that a larger group is needed.
Sydney Madang is located in the side alley right beside Naruone, reviewed above. With
similar price points on most dishes and perhaps a little costlier by comparing Soju prices. The place was packed even at 10pm, after a dinner at NaruOne. Sydney Madang
had the additional option of table top BBQ which am sure is a hit for Korean BBQ lover. This place was re-visited for lunch on the second day, and already at opening hour, tables started to filling up.

After a year long hiatus and seeing the delicious BBQ section, I did have a longing for
this place.
Marinated Beef AUD17
*Pretty good. To Boubougi Standards I suppose. Nothing a classic Korean marinade
can't replicate.*
Ox Tongue AUD18
*If you haven't tried tongue before, it's really quite good. It's got a little more texture to it
and of course all the flavor of the beef.*
Whole Squid AUD21
*More so a cuttlefish. All that red hot, spicy, color, but doesn't deliver on the heat.
Seriously over priced*
Crab Meat Tofu Soup AUD17
*Chili oil flavored water. Sure there's some crab but nothing really more than that.*
Cass Beer AUD5
Total AUD95 Fed2
It was good, but not mind blowing and especially not so for the price. Thou there was
charcoal in the grill, it did not contribute to a distinct char flavor, which would definitely
have elevate the BBQ!
Verdict: Go for lunch single order, or the combine BBQ platter for two at about 60bucks
may have been more worth it.
Ordered On:
24thMay2015
Complimentary side dishes of:
Marinated Potto, Kimchi, Caesar Salad and Gluten.
*Special mention goes to their version of a 'caesar salad' was really light and refreshing. Not the usually heavy
dressing from typical diner level salad. Roman lettuce were cold, crisp, fresh and sweet
with a light dressing. Another round for their side dishes!*
Allowed up to 4 top ups with a AUD2 sur-charge from the fourth as indicated at the bottom of menu pages.
Dolsot Bibim Bab AUD14
Steamed Rice Topped with vegetables, egg yolk and choice of beef/chicken/pork/tofu in
special hot pot.
*A great mix and balance of fresh vegetables and in readings topped of with their 'hot
sauce' bringing a light spicy level to the entire dish. Nothing over bearing which requires
tumblers of water. A perfect dish on a cold day. Your dish retains the hit, and the longer
you leave the rice in to 'cook', you get more of those delectable crunchy bits.*

Overall, we both felt and agreed that thou its pricier than what one would get in Korea, it's definitely authentic and better by way of its quality ingredients as well as portion size. Am not too sure how dish for dish, this place would match up against Sydney Madang, but it's definitely a return to option for myself.

*Broth wasn't overtly spicy and was relatively thick and rich. But it went well with the
steaming rice. At first glance, it looked impressive, but really is more bone than meat,
with lots of excavating and picking to get to the tendons and the best tender bits.*

Seafood and Leek Pan Cake AUD14
*A few chunks of squid and prawn but mostly, starchy pancake with a generous sprinkling of leeks. I had wished the ratio be the other way round. The dish did gets very filling fast, but it did however go well with their sweet/sour dipping sauce.*
Soju AUD12
Fed 2: AUD 55 Total
Sum says, "Not bad Korean Food."

Pleasant atmosphere, with a near 75% capacity even at 2130hrs.
Bumping into another set, they shared NaruOne was their second choice location due to preferred, Korean joint, Sydney Madang (reviewed below), being full. With some research, it was found NaurOne to be ranked 1275/5130 of places to eat on trip advisor, as compared to Sydney Madang which stands at a highly sought after location of 163/5130.

Long flight + hungry stomach. Not a good combination for the wallet. Well Madang does offer cheap eats and it's popular with the students and late night party goers. It's probably from the a-la-carte menu and especially with the free sides top ups (like most Korean joints) makes it more worth while.

Seems that all the best stuff are hiding in some corner or alley. Worth the visit and try some of the other dishes.
