Why oh why do I live so far away from you Jin's Bibimbar? Anyone who lives or works near this…read morelovely little restaurant needs to go check it out. My partner introduced me to this restaurant as one of his fave places to go to for work lunch. Bibimbap is a really addictive meal. Especially when you have the option to style it the way you like. In fact, when you order your bibimbap here you are given a sheet of choices for your vegetables, meat & rice. You just tick and choose what appeals to you. You can add extras for little extra cost. But, the meals is super cheap anyway (under $10) and are quite filling. So I guess it depends on how hungry you are when adding extras. For the health conscious, you can choose brown rice or half/half brown & white rice. All of the veggies & meat prepared are cooked to order. So they are fresh! I went for the chicken and a range of veggies. The chicken was cooked with some lovely spices and sauce. Once your meal has been cooked, you can add sauces, oil, seaweed, nuts and have a serving of Kim chi. The trick is to mix it all up and enjoy! This is such a simple and well balanced meal. Nothing complicated in flavour, it is just so yummy. The Korean fermented chilli sauce is what makes it so good. Oh, and I saw on the sign outside that they cater for events. This would be an awesome alternative for a corporate lunch instead of boring sandwiches. I will keep them in mind for catering for sure!

I've been getting what I thought was bibimbap from a sushi bar near my work for a while now. While…read moreit is very nice, I found out that it's not real bibimbap and really should be called a sushi bowl with salad greens. Therefore I've been a bibimbap noob this whole time who needs to try the real thing: Korean bibimbap. Anyway, I was driving near work the other day and saw a place called Jin's Bibimbar on Goodwood Road. I knew that I needed to try this place, so popped in for lunch today. I am really happy that I did, because this place is the bibim-bomb, yo! When I entered the shop, one of the cooks came out and explained how it works. They have a form with check boxes on it that you tick and fill in your name. There are different types of rice or lettuce with no rice, cooked veggies, raw salads and meat/tofu/fish sections. You can pick a rice, 6 veggies/salads and one meat or tofu choice for $9.50 and any extras you add are either 50c or $1.50 depending on what you get. I chose chicken with mixed white and brown rice, broccoli, spinach, bean shoots, mushrooms, seaweed salad, carrot and cooked egg. The egg cost me 50c extra. They then make it up for you on the spot and you can choose your sauces and apply them to your taste. I chose their chili sauce, some sesame oil, kimchi, peanuts and some chili aoli. They also have dry seaweed, and some other Korean sauces that I didn't know. The flavour is amazing and it's a really tasty and filling lunch. I'll definitely be back.

Omakase! OMG - what a fun way to dine at this place…read more Ascend above the noise and bustle of the Electra House bars on the ground, and you arrive in an open space with a mixture of high (bar-style) and regular (dining room style) tables to suit your group dynamics. You have chopsticks AND knife and fork at hand, to fit in with the variety of Asian Fusion food offerings. The dishes are as appetising as the photos suggest. But once our knowledgeable server described the Omakase option, we were hooked! Four 'rounds' of dishes from the menu; changed on a daily basis - so think of it as the banquet option, but you never know which one until you arrive. Especially for a first time visit, it's the best way to go.

Bakmi Lim allow you to customise your noodle box with limited variations. Step 1: select from the two noodles available - traditional and spinach (however, only the traditional was available today). Step 2: Pick your topping(s) - soy chicken, roast pork, BBQ Pork or mushroom and tofu Step 3: Sides such as wontons or beef balls are optional extras Step 4: Pick a beverage - sweetened tea, pandan soy milk or chrysanthemum tea As most things were sold out, all I could try was the traditional noodles with a tiny bit of soy chicken (all that was left) and the mushroom and tofu. I picked the pandan infused soy milk which was served hot. I would have preferred the cold, but it was sold out. Despite a disappointing first impression, when we got our noodles, served in a cardboard box, we tucked heartily into it. It was sooo yummy. I love the texture of the noodles - very "al dente" and FRESH! The flavours was on point and the chilli paste / sauce only served to enhanced the experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Interior was airy and light. However, enough with the tiled walls, but I do appreciate the pendants which was made using upside down porcelain noodle bowls. Will be back for sure!!!

This is the case with regent Thai. Every time I go I get treated great and the food is outstanding. Yes, it's busy so sometimes the service is a little slower but it's busy for a reason. Yes, it's more on the expensive side of Asian restaurants but sometimes you get what you pay for. Yes, the homemade coconut ice cream is the best you will ever have! I take friends here a lot and one thing that always stands out is the fact that, Mr Te, the owner is always happy to tailer your Thai experience to your needs... Feel like the red duck curry, but can't handle the heat? He will get it to your desired temperature without compromising any flavors. Three dishes that I always order.... Red duck curry Soft shell crabs The natural oysters with the amazing coriander and chili sauce Like most Asian restaurants the food is best shared so get a group of 4-6, make a booking and never look back!

Rarely have I been to a Thai restaurant in this city and been pleased with every dish that I've received. Star of Siam, on the other hand, aims to please. The pad thai is an obvious choice, but is simple and delicious. Laksa is also a great option in the cold weather, but I can eat the stuff in any sort of weather. As some of the others have said, the service is a little bit ruthless. This is especially so when the restaurant gets crowded, but they are really friendly if the conditions permit. Of course, good service should be a constant in the hospitality industry, so they may have to work on that.
