Poong Nab Dong (Poong BBQ)- Eastwood

Yesterday, my family and I went to the Poong Nab Dong Korean BBQ restaurant in Eastwood. The previous times we’ve been, the restaurant was rather quiet. That day, however, it was busy in comparison and it made the place feel a bit less daunting and more welcoming. The atmosphere was good, the place felt inviting.

There were 10 of us, so we opted to order different dishes to share amongst ourselves. The food came quite quickly considering the amount of diners already occupying the place. We ordered a seafood pancake, a hot pot, fried chicken (plain and sweet chilli), cold arrowroot noodles, beef ribs with rice, and pork ribs with rice.

Like all other Korean restaurants, the food was served with an abundance of side dishes, as per usual for a Korean restaurant. We unfortunately didn’t order the Korean BBQ as my father dislikes it, and we had two toddlers under the age of 3 with us, so I was unable to sample that.

I personally really liked everything we ordered, especially the beef ribs with rice. All the dishes tasted fresh and quite authentic, and even the side dishes where enjoyable. I myself don’t know what all of those were, but there was definitely a kelp/seaweed dish in a vinegar marinade, as well as mashed potatoes with orange bits (most likely sweet potato or carrot), kimchi, broccoli, deep fried beans. The others I wasn’t sure of.

Side dishes

Sadly, as good as the food was, the service was very poor. For example, when they were serving the side dishes, one of the waitresses was really gruff with her actions and words. Even the previous times, the quality of service was not good. 
Overall, the food was good, the prices were acceptable for the quality of food we received but the service was disappointing. 

Food: 5/5
Price: 4.5/5
