Yami Yami - Kurunjang

This place seems to attract extremely polarising reviews. We visited with an open mind on a weekday for lunch. The waitress brought out cutlery and water almost immediately. <br/ <br/ We ordered:<br/ Japchae the noodles were well prepared and delicious. <br/ Hotpot Baby Octopus Bibimbap this came out piping hot and was full of flavour. <br/ Teriyaki Chicken a generous serve of well seasoned chicken. <br/ <br/ We also enjoyed the the side dishes the pickled cucumbers were refreshing and crunchy. <br/ <br/ So we actually had a pleasantly yummy experience at Yami Yami today and hopefully this will be replicated for everyone in the future!

A nice Korean restaurant in box hill. Price is decent here. Love the Tteokbokki with cheese and mandu. My wife and I have tried their lunch menu and it's good price and walking out full. The service is great.

Ubereat.  Had the following<br/ <br/ 1. Beef Gamjatang Very flavourful spicy broth. Tender, fall off the bone pork with soft potatoes sucking up the beautiful flavour.  Surpassed expectations!! (5/5)<br/ 2. Beef Bulgolgi Cooked slightly over, a bit too chewy. Flavour fairly vanilla (3+/5)<br/ <br/ Included free side dishes with Uber on request.<br/ Had a wonderful uber meal on a cold winter day.<br/ Dishes should taste better at the restaurants.

Points for: dakgalbi <br/ <br/ Yami Yami are known for their spicy pan fried chicken (dakgalbi). Not many Korean restaurants do this properly, but here it's a feast. <br/ You can easily feed 4 people with the portion for 2. It comes out in a large circle pan and you can eat straight off it, or use lettuce to wrap.<br/ Add in a few other ingredients like ricand finish off with fried rice with seaweed, and it's a very satisfying meal. <br/ You also get the egg souffle with it, which is traditionally eaten with dakgalbi. It's soft and feels cleansing.<br/ The jokbal is also really soft and tender. The pork trotters are stewed in a soy broth, cooled and sliced. There's a bit of meat on eat bite, some collagen, tendon and skin. Add some fresh garlic and soy bean paste, into some lettuce and it's a beautiful bite.

Our favourite local Korean joint that we always come back to. Love the spicy cheese chicken and pork bulgogi. Previously served in large portions, however appears to have become smaller at recent times.
