MELBOURNE | Dong Dae Moon opened in Melbourne’s Korea Town earlier this year, adding another option to the burgeoning area for fans of Korean food. I paid them a visit to grab some photos for What’s on Melbourne.
Named for the vibrant and historic Seoul neighbourhood, Dongdaemun, Dong Dae Moon is a simply decorated space, with large floor to ceiling windows that open up the space to airy laneway dining on Brights Place. Open from lunch until 10pm each night, you’ll find an assortment of Korean favourites on the menu, at wallet-friendly prices.
The most popular item during lunch is the gimbap. There’s eight options of the seaweed rice roll on the menu, including bulgogi, tofu, and the popular house ham and seafood special. Gimbap is made fresh on site each day, rolled by hand and cut using special machinery.
Other menu options include things like spicy pork belly with vegetables and rice, kimchi bokkeumbap, and kimchi pancakes. The fried chicken, which comes with a variety of flavours and sauces, is great. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll also find a few different bingsu options on offer.
Dong Dae Moon isn’t licensed, but if you’re thirsty there’s a selection of Korean sodas, juices, and other drinks on offer.
