Chungdam Campsie Korean Restaurant

We recently discovered an amazing Korean restaurant in Campsie called Chungdam, and honestly, we’ve already been back so many times since our first visit.

From the moment you walk in, it has such a warm and lively atmosphere — it feels casual but still authentic, like a true Korean dining experience right here in Sydney.

Our absolute favourite dish has to be the grilled pork belly. It’s perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavour, especially when wrapped with fresh sides and sauces. It’s the kind of dish you keep ordering again and again because it’s just that good.

The kids are also completely obsessed with their variety of fried chicken. It’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and comes in different flavours that make it fun for everyone at the table.

But one of the biggest highlights for us is actually the side dishes. As soon as you sit down, you’re served around 10 different banchan (Korean side dishes), and every single time they feel fresh and different. It includes a mix of kimchi, pickled vegetables, seasoned potatoes, salads, and more — and honestly, this is what makes the whole experience feel so special. We love trying everything together before the main dishes even arrive.

The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the food always comes out fresh and full of flavour. It’s become one of those places we find ourselves recommending to friends all the time.

If you’re in Campsie or nearby and love Korean food, Chungdam is definitely worth checking out. Whether it’s a family dinner, casual catch-up, or weekend meal, it never disappoints.

The Newmarket Room Restaurant review

For my birthday this year, my hubby surprised me with a lunch date at The Newmarket Room Restaurant. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience with amazing food, a quiet and cosy ambiance, and impeccable service.

We kicked off our lunch with some refreshing mocktails. I opted for a Strawberry Mojito that was perfectly sweet, tangy, and refreshing, while my hubby chose a Tropical Paradise blend (pineapple and passionfruit)—a fruity delight with just the right hint of citrus.

Entrees: A Perfect Start

  • Chargrilled Octopus: Tender, smoky, and seasoned to perfection. The slight char added a delightful depth to its flavour, and it paired wonderfully with a tangy dressing.
  • Lamb Cutlet: Juicy, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavour. The herb crust was crisp and aromatic, complementing the succulent meat beautifully.

Mains: A Culinary Feast

  • Chicken Roulade: Stuffed with herbs and cheese, the roulade was moist and full of flavour. It was served with a creamy sauce that tied all the elements together.
  • Barramundi Fish: Fresh, flaky, and cooked to perfection. The buttery lemon sauce elevated the natural flavours of the fish, making every bite heavenly.
  • Crispy Eggplant: As a vegetarian option, this dish was a standout. The eggplant was light and crispy on the outside, tender inside, and paired with a tangy tomato-based sauce that was simply divine.

Dessert: Birthday Bliss
For dessert, we indulged in a Dark Chocolate Mousse as my birthday cake. It was rich, velvety, and decadently chocolatey. The mousse was topped with a hint of sea salt and fresh berries, creating a beautiful balance of flavours that ended the meal on a high note.

Final Thoughts
The Newmarket Room Restaurant exceeded all my expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, with flavours that showcased the chef’s creativity and attention to detail. The ambiance was intimate and relaxing, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion.

Thank you, hubby, for making my birthday so memorable! 💕 If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and a serene atmosphere, I’d highly recommend checking it out.
