Daon, Mitcham

One of our favourite Japanese / Korean restaurants in Mitcham has closed and was replaced by Daon, a Korean restaurant. We decided to try it out for dinner. We ordered the pork galbi ssambap ($28). Ssambap means wraps and rice so the set, which is enough for 2 people came with lettuce, side dishes, pickled radish slices and a bowl of rice. The protein is marinated pork loin served in a heated plate, how cute!

The online menu (aged barely a month ago then) states that the set comes with beef bone broth, but when we sat down to order, there was no mention of the beef bone broth on the 'new' menu. I had been looking forward to the collagen broth so I enquired and the restaurant very kindly obliged and gave us a bowl of bone broth. It was peppery and tasty. It was nice to have a side of soup, because the pork galbi and everything else did not have much sauce. 

We ordered the tuna mayo kimbap ($15) to supplement the meal. It is on the expensive side - $15 for one kimbap roll. Taste wise, it was tasty but $15 is probably too steep. 

There are other dishes available such as big pots of stews ($45) which are suitable for group dinners. 

Top marks for the obliging owners who served us the beef broth even though it is no longer in the menu!
