Onggojip

Considering we had the car, we decided to head back to the shore to find another new Korean restaurant. Zomato led us to Rosedale road in Albany, and when we arrived we were both shocked and delighted to find not just one but several Korean restaurants! All in a row.

With smiles on our faces we entered the restaurant at the beginning of the row which is called Onggojip. The interior was a little messy but very homely and what we would expect from a traditional Korean restaurant. The friendly man serving took us over to our table where we sat down to examine the menu.

Onggojip offers mystery dishes, so cool

Also as a nice extra they had cute traditional booths where you could sit on the floor, however this time we sat at chairs.

The furniture and chandeliers felt a little out of place and they were playing old school western music, but overall it was very welcoming. Also as a nice extra they had cute traditional booths where you could sit on the floor, however this time we sat at chairs. 

We ordered beef soup (youngyang tang), a seafood pancake and the good old steamed dumplings. The soup was amazing (as a side note it came with purple rice) with an interesting mustard flavour and beautiful beef that fell apart.

Delicious beef soup

The seafood pancake was top notch, and the dumplings were big, juicy, and delicious. Oh we I can’t forget the side dishes, the kimchi and unknown pickled vegetable were spicy and full of flavour! We loved them.

Very reasonable price. Happy to give it a high rating.
