Seoul good in the hood mah homies!
Sydney's Townhall area has just gotten more delicious with the addition of a
new Korean restaurant. The new Seoul Project is tucked away in the laneway-like
Wilmot Street.
The place has a contemporary tavern feel
with industrial fittings. It's definitely not your typical traditional Korean
restaurant. It offers modern Korean cuisine, which breaks the boundaries of
traditional cooking. Basically in their case, Korean cuisine meets Dude Food.
You can still expect the fermented based dishes, Bo ssam, bibimbap and jjigae
dishes. There's also Western influenced dishes like kimchi fries and corn
cheese pizza!

Brown and black rice mix |
Their kimchi jjigae or hot pot/stew ($16) is super tasty and perfect to
have in this cold weather! It has a kimchi infused broth, tender pork ribs,
tofu, enoki, and other vegetables. I loved the mild to medium heat and sour
flavour in the broth. The smoky notes in the soup gave it depth. Perfect for
adding to your rice! The sweetness from the soft veggies gave balance to the
dish.
The corn
cheese pizza ($16) is not an actual pizza but rather a smart and mind
blowing play on an Italian classic. The base is a buttery flaky pastry topped
with corn, scallions and gooey melted cheese. It all worked so freakin' well!
It also had hints of garlic and sweet chive flavours.
Snow Korean fried chicken |
I will definitely be back to try their
original Korean Fried chicken ($17),
tteokbokki ($26) and oven platter (which is a set of beef ribs, pork
ribs, chicken wings, and roasted pork belly with chips and salad - $45).
Ah mashita!
