    Delicious Korean Food in Melbourne

    We tried the chicken fried rice and chicken tenders. It was ah maze ing! Definitely, going back!

    Honey Sriracha chicken.
    Craig H.

    Great chicken! Ordered the So-Ju tenders with special seasoning. I don't know exactly how to describe the seasoning, but it very good! You don't need a sauce with the So-Ju special seasoning. Ordered inside. Only took about 10 minutes. It's a small restaurant with a very modern vibe. If you haven't tried it, then give it a shot!

    Red Sauce Chicken Tenders
    Rolando G.

    I came here for lunch on Friday and wasn't very pleased. I'll start by saying that I'm don't know much about Korean food, so please excuse my ignorance. I didn't like the coconut curry chicken as it was not served hot and there wasn't much chicken on the bones. I asked the waiter if I could have something simpler like chicken tenders and she was happy to replace the meal which was very nice. The tenders were pretty big and a big overdone for my taste, as some other reviewers have pointed out. All in all, it was a so-so experience. I also don't like how the owner responds to some of the reviews here with snarky comments, it doesn't seem very professional. I understand restaurants are hard work and I am not fast to give a bad review.

    Corn nuggets
    Eralene M.

    The chicken had good crunch and flavor! The restaurant wasn't busy at all when we went. You do order your food at the register and they bring it out when it's ready. Good place to grab so Korean wings if you're in the mood.

    Kimchi fried rice
    Andrew W.

    Quick food, friendly service, hot fresh chicken wings were CRISPY on the outside and JUICY on the inside. The kimchi fried rice had a nice vinegar kick and big chunks of pork belly, well rendered and tasty. Wings tried were: Gochujang buffalo - spicy sweet and crispy under the sauce Seoul hot - this one ended up being a dry rub which caught me off guard, luckily, I LOVE a dry rub blend. It was spicy, salty, sweet, crispy and I'd order 30 more if I had the time and funds. Will visit again. Will probably pick some sauces up if they keep being this good

    Chicken bites
    Ariana M.

    The corn nuggets were super yummy!! The chicken bites were very tender. Everything tasted fresh. Ordering online was super easy and picking it up was a seamless experience!

    Menu

    Service: 10/10.. very patient and friendly. Helpful with menu. Ambiance: 7/10.. simple decor, nothing fancy. They loss points because they had a rated "R" movie playing (aliens having intercourse with a human) and kids were dining in. The television was VERY large and not positioned where it could be ignored. Food: 5/10.. pains me bc I wanted to love the food. The wings were tasty, but could have used more seasoning. The garlic shrimp bowl was very bland. I would likely not go back, but encourage others to give it a shot.

    three chicken strips
    Kurt K.

    No frills eating establishment. They have a lot of selections but the menu kinda confused me. First time so it was a lot to take in. Ordered the chicken strips and they were pretty good. Maybe a tad too well done for my taste. Hard coating. Chose the Sirachia Honey sauce. They have sauces and dips so make sure you know which is which when you are ordering. The staff behind the counter was very eager to help and make what I wanted the way I would want it. So can't fault them. Music was a little loud.

    The food is delicious and honestly authentic! There's so so much flavor in every entree. They do play kpop and if you ask they put whatever group you'd like!

We got up early on Christmas Eve and opted to find a cool breakfast place. After a few minutes in Yelp, we found Backwater which is nestled in Historic Downtown Melbourne. Parking should not be a problem but if you can't find some on your he street their is a public parking garage not to far away. Upon arrival we were seated pretty quickly and all the staff were very friendly. Our server Amy was awesome and recommended a few breakfast items that were awesome. We opted for the Greek breakfast and the Cuban Benedict which were both fresh and excellent. We also split their seasonal Cinammon pancake as well which was great as well. Pancakes are huge so make sure you leave some room if you plan on having one. All portions were healthy as well, no skimping at Backwater and everyone was in the Christmas spirit as well which was awesome! The atmosphere is friendly, laid back and welcoming which is great if you are from out of Town. So if you are in the area, make sure you check them out for breakfast or lunch. I am sure you will not be disappointed! So in fact he spirit of the holiday I will adjust my customary ending to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a prosperous and blessed Happy New Year to all of you! Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes amis!

Been wanting to try this place but tend to forget to come by. Facility: this is a small place located in a strip mall. There is booth seating and tables and chairs. There's even a little bar corner that has 3 tall bar seats. Ordering is a little confusing as the counter is not the place you go to... that's only if you are paying. Instead it's over by the buffet serving section. Then you go back to that counter to pay. Service: The lady was polite. She seemed overworked as she is the one taking orders, making food, helping tables, and checking people out. It took about 15 minutes to get my food. Be warned they are only open Wed through Sunday and their hours change most days, but it's like 12-5pm. Food: I ordered two lunch specials ... Chicken leg with Cole slaw and beans for my grandma.... I didn't try the sides, but the chicken looked amazing and a little sauce got on my finger and it was very good. I got the catfish 4.5/5, potato salad 3/5, and some extra sides to check them out... cabbage 4/5, fried okra 5/5 and mac and cheese 3.5/5. We also got mini sweet potato pie 4.5/5 and some peach cobbler (my grandma is saving this for tonight). Overall: This place is good. I will be back to try more things.
