Hanok Korean Restaurant Woden - 17 April 2024


Karen, Kim, Megan, Ron.

Finally I get Ron to book another Korean BBQ.  He's forgotten how much he's enjoyed it the last time and has resisted for I don't know how long. We ordered a fixed set for $149. That included a selection of main courses and suitable side dishes to accompany them.
All the meat was excellent and the side dishes were also really good.
We had a lot of fun and there was quite enough food for the four of us.

Spice Route Restaurant Torrens 3 April 2024

John, Karen, Kim, Ron.

$50 banquet with 4 entrees, our choice of 4 curries as main courses, rice, naan, raita and pickles. Our choice of dessert plus Masala tea to finish.

All the food was excellent. The butter chicken had the wonderful smoky flavour from the tandoor.

There was an inelegant over sufficiency of food. We all took home leftovers from the main courses, plus some rice and naan.

A really enjoyable dinner.

dada Restaurant in Woden 20 March 2024

Jim, John, Karen, Kim, Megan, Ron.

Similarly eclectic menu to Oh No! from our last dinner. But more fun. It was entertaining to realise the dishes we were eating with chopsticks, that you wouldn't remotely expect to be. Great food, waiter was very friendly as were other diners. The place is very small and the noise level quite high.  Parking was atrocious.  Even though there was a high rise parking station next door, it was closed!!!

Oh No! restaurant Manuka

Jim, John, Karen, Kim, Megan, Ron.
All the dishes are intended for sharing.
Upon their recommendation, we had a series of small entree dishes, then three main courses.
We ended up with quite a variety of dishes and different flavours. All were really good. The amount of food was just a little bit over - so well recommended.
The pandan cheese cake for dessert was nice, but nothing special. Most diners probably don't make it to dessert.
The atmosphere was great, not too noisy. Service was excellent and presentation of the food was really well done.
The biggest fail - as the sun went down, the room got darker and darker. Even with the lights turned on, we couldn't see our food. It was so dark, that it was a struggle at the end to read the bill and to pay it. Epic fail.
Next time, don't order so much and bring a torch or two.
