You don’t see this part.

The fire, the focus, the fifty things happening at once before your food arrives. That stays in the kitchen. The result lands on your table.

Walk-ins welcome tonight.

Lunchbox classic.
Every Korean mum made it a little differently — just like tteokbokki, it’s one of those dishes that lives close to the heart.

A true Korean staple.
Not recreated. Not reimagined.
Just done our way, done right.

Lunch has always been a weird one for us.
Too many options and too much food 😅

But with the new menu structure + pricing, we finally found the sweet spot — fast, tasty, and properly portioned for the Ponsonby lunch crowd.

And yes — the full tapas menu is still available all day!

Our tteokbokki has been through a journey.
At first, we tried so hard to make it “fancy.”
Add this, tweak that…
Every time we messed with it, it just didn’t hit the spot.

Turns out the best version was the one we started with:
the original.

That actually shaped our whole new menu.
Stop overthinking.
Keep the good stuff simple.
Let flavour do the work.

Tteokbokki isn’t meant to be “special.”
It’s everyday Korean street food.
But maybe that’s why it is special.
Zero gimmicks. Pure comfort.
A bowl that understands the assignment.

Sometimes the most normal thing on the table ends up stealing the show.

Chopsticks clashing. Friends stealing bites. Someone shouting one more soju.

First week — done and dusted.
Let’s keep this energy going.

Feedback on the new menu’s been unreal — thank you.
Here’s a peek behind the plate: the new Nom Nom Nom Chicken.
Three noms because two weren’t enough.
Crispy Korean fried chicken with Buldak mayo — a little spice, a lot of love ❤️

Small change, world of difference.

Our Prawn Toast — reengineered.
Longer shape for that perfect crunch and easy bite.
Lime sweet chilli out, sriracha cream sauce in — creamy, spicy, bright, topped with toasted sesame for a clean finish.

It’s the kind of detail you only notice when you taste it.

New menu live now. GAJA 가자.
