[gallery type="rectangular" ids="3399,3401,3402"] The salmon soba salad ($18) came with 5 lightly seared pieces of salmon, basil sauce, salad leaves and a small amount of broth at the base. I wasn't too sure about the raw onion because it seemed to overpower the flavour of the soba (and also because there was one rather large slice of onion in my plate), but overall it was a simple and tasty lunch.

This visit was with mum, who ordered the spicy pork dosirak. I went with kimchi udon. I can't remember which one was $11 and which was $13.

I quite enjoyed the texture and chew of the udon noodles. I haven't had udon like that for a while.   Seoul Soul 323 Victoria St Abbotsford, VIC, 3067 0478 768 760 http://www.seoulsoul.com.au/ ...

Time to try the bibimbap! My eyes gravitated towards the stone-cooked (dolsot) version such that I don't even remember the price of the non-stone cooked ("cold", but actually room temperature) version. The beef dolsot bibimbap was $13. [caption id="attachment_3382" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Beef Dolsot Bibimbap[/caption] The dish arrived steaming and crackling on the table and the waitress asked me if I would like sesame oil and/or chilli sauce on it. I said yes to both, and she subsequently made a circle of oil and a zigzag of chilli sauce on top....
