With a menu that reads like the summer holiday movie program at a Hoyts Cinema, Goshen is a must-see for anyone whose knowledge of Korean cuisine is limited to Kim Chi, suspect meat and vegetarian apathy.
The advertisements (or, entrée for traditionalists) gave us the Kim Chi pancake, which was more exciting than expected, textured to perfection, succulent and laced with garlic.
The Forrest Gump tofu salad was a combination of hot and cold, sweet and sour flavours, aromatic and fresh with chilli and lime. More substantial meals are a-plenty; The Sound of Sizzling's Jap Chea - gummy sweet potato noodles entwined in beef and mushroom, cooked with sesame oil and again, garlic - was perfectly complimented by one of the fruity, dry whites.
A Beautiful Fried Mind offers spicy seafood options, while the Flintstones and Lord of the Stew showcase traditional Korean hot pots with a modern twist, with vegetarian options available.
With less bogans than Northland, and prices that re-affirm that the candy bar is a rip-off, there will be delicious Goshen re-runs for a long time to come.
