Immediately as you enter this no-frills eatery in the heart of Eastwood’s “Korean side”, you’ll likely be greeted by a mountain of jokbal – pork trotters braised to a deliciously dark hue. Served with a umami-laden fermented shrimp sauce and lettuce, the lusciously soft pork is dangerously addictive stuff.

Most Korean classics are accounted for – mandu dumplings, seafood pancakes, kimchi jjigae stews – but the bulgogi hot pot is worth the trip alone. Arriving on a hot plate and portable gas burner, attentive waiters will cook the marinated, slightly sweet beef at the table too, ready to be mixed with onions, enoki mushrooms and glass noodles. It’s a terrific meal for one couple to share, while larger groups are suitably served by the huge gamjatang, a vessel of spicy (but not too spicy) pork bone and potato stew.
