Izumi - Canberra

I tried the Korean chicken at this restaurant and it was disappointing. The chicken strips were thin and coated in a bland, crispy batter. The oil used to cook them seemed to have recently fried a lot of fish, giving the chicken a fishy and oily taste. It wasn't even served hot. I'm puzzled as to how this place stays in business in the Canberra food scene. It seems to only be patronized by students and budget-conscious individuals. Luckily, there are plenty of other restaurants in Canberra that offer delicious Korean chicken. Unfortunately, this particular place is not one of them.

I decided to try Korean cuisine for lunch today and ordered the stone bowl bibimbap. The taste was fresh with a good mix of vegetables and it came with free miso soup. The dish only cost $15.50 AUD. Overall, it was a nice new dining experience.

We ate here for a replacement of the moment lunch and were really impressed. Knödel were great, Auberginen very good.

Great food, quick service and good sized meal with great prices to match. Certainly will be back :

I enjoyed my bento for lunch. It is a small but busy cafe. I didn't have to wait too long before getting my meal. I see myself coming back in future
