The warm, lantern-lit interior of Yoon's Kitchen, set for an evening of shared meals

Glen Waverley • Oakleigh • Blackburn

Three locations.
One broth.

Yoon's Kitchen has been feeding families across Melbourne since 2019, built on slow cooking, honest ingredients, and the belief that the best meals are the ones nobody wants to end.

Since 2019
Where it began

Yoon's Kitchen started in Blackburn with a single, clear idea

Yoon's Kitchen opened its first restaurant in Blackburn in 2019. The idea was direct: serve Korean food the way it is meant to be eaten. Slow-cooked, generous, and shared across a table with people you care about.

The bones for each broth go into the pot before sunrise. By the time the first guests arrive, eighteen hours of low, steady heat have drawn out everything they carry. Yoon's Kitchen does not treat this as a selling point. It is simply what the recipe requires.

Yoon's Kitchen expanded to Oakleigh and then to Glen Waverley because the approach travels well. The menu, the cooking times, and the atmosphere stay consistent across all three locations. Every bowl of beef bone soup served at any Yoon's Kitchen branch comes from the same eighteen-hour process.

What drives the kitchen

Food worth waiting for

18-Hour Broths

Yoon's Kitchen slow-boils beef bones, chicken frames, and aromatics for a full eighteen hours. The result is a broth that is milky, deeply savoury, and impossible to rush. Yoon's Kitchen starts every batch from scratch, every day.

Five-Flavor Fried Chicken

Yoon's Kitchen serves five distinct crispy fried chicken varieties: sweet chili, soy garlic, cheese snowing, and two more. Each variety is built to share and fried to order, so the crunch holds from the first piece to the last.

Shared Table Cooking

Hot pots, bulgogi, and tteokbokki are menu items at Yoon's Kitchen, but they are also formats. They invite everyone at the table to eat together at the same pace, refilling as they go. Yoon's Kitchen is built around that kind of meal.

For Families and Groups

Yoon's Kitchen is geared towards relaxed family dinners, casual lunches, and group catch-ups. The dining room is loud in the right way. Extra chairs are always welcome. Yoon's Kitchen does not rush a table.
