Jang Gun
Koreatown hot spot for DIY crab rice bowls, army stew and more.

Healeys Lane’s old stager, Jang Gun has been here since 2013. At the time, they were the third Korean restaurant to open here but Gami, the fried chicken franchise next door, is the only remaining shop that predates Jang Gun.
We love this place for its cosy timber booths, which you can (and should) book. Put on supplied gloves to eat soy-marinated raw crab and ju-meokbap, a DIY rice bowl which is a recommended crab pairing. To make ju-meokbap, use your fingers like chopsticks to mix rice with mayonnaise, seaweed flakes, pickled radish and sesame seeds. Form the mixture into bite-sized balls for your crew to enjoy.
Another great dish here is the beef pancake (jeon), meat slices dipped in egg wash and fried like an omelette. If you love egg dishes, also try the fluffy, sauce-striped cheesy egg roll.
