Hoodadak Korean Fusion Dining Room (Galaxis)

If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors, Hoodadak is the place to be. Known for their rich and hearty Gukbap, this restaurant has nailed the taste of traditional Korean comfort food. We ordered the Daeeji Gukbap, and it arrived boiling hot, exactly as it should be. What impressed us were the small but significant details, like the baby shrimps they provided to mix in—a customary addition in Korea that lets you tailor the flavor to your preference.

We also tried the Dakgalbi, which was a real treat. The sauce had a delightful sweetness that paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, balancing out the dish with every bite. As for the Kimbap, it had that authentic taste we love, bringing us right back to the streets of Korea.

The portions here are impressive—ideal for anyone with a big appetite or looking to share. For the quality and quantity of food, Hoodadak is amazing value for money. Whether you’re a Korean food enthusiast or trying Gukbap for the first time, Hoodadak is sure to leave you satisfied!

Sometimes, even on really sunny days, I will crave for a good stew to fill up not only my stomach, but my heart as well. The Soondubu or Seafood Tofu Stew ($16) from Hoodadak does just that with their flavourful soup and plentiful ingredients. I wouldn't say they are the best, but they are decent enough to come back for more. Seafood is quite fresh, and I do love the egg drop within the stew that made it even more satisfying.

Loved their side dishes as well, as they have about 4 on rotation. This is my go-to Korean food when I'm here in one north!

Went to Hoodadak a few days ago and ordered their seafood jjampong ($17)!😇 Overall ratings 6/10! The soup was good but there's quite a lot of vegetables, overpowering the dish a little😅 They had free sides as well and portions are huge)! Would probably visit again and try other menu items instead😅

Although we ordered way too much, the quality and portions made us so satisfied!

The Dakgalbi sharing portion came in a huge plate, probably enough to feed at least 3. There were loads of ingredients within, from tender chicken pieces, to chewy rice cakes to fresh assorted vegetables. Loved how the sauce has a good balance of sweet and savoury, definitely perfect to go with some rice.

We ordered bossam as well, and it was surprisingly good! The pieces of pork were very fatty and tender. Paired with ssam and some savoury radish slices, its really the perfect balance of fresh and fatty taste profiles.

The jajjangmyeon or black bean noodles came in an enormous plate as well, enough to feed at least 3. Although the noodles didn't have the chewy noodles I was looking for, the sauce had good flavour and was filled with seafood ingredients including squid and prawns.

Although we over ordered and had 2 bottles of makgeoli, the price came up to $42 per pax which isn't bad at all. Definitely worth it and a place to check out if you are nearby and craving for Korean food!

Had the Samgepsal (pork + rice + soup + lettuce) set ($18++) for lunch and it was amazing 🤩 it’s super crowded during lunch but that kinda adds to the homely, hearty vibes of the restaurant and together with the flavours of the rice, soup and pork, it felt like I was having a warm, homecooked meal in the heart of an office area. Will be back to try other items on their menu 😍

Soup was pretty flavourful and quite thicj,but doesn't look like doenjang jiggae and as expected, the fermented bean tasted wasnt too prominent even tho it's there.

Overall their soups do better here, tteokbokki was alright but the beef is damn average
