A Unique Experience for all

Koreatown:
Where Tradition, Flavor, and Community Unite

The inauguration of Eastwood Koreatown took place on 11 July 2023 at Eastwood Moko. The distinguished guests-of-honour included Mayor Sakis Yedelian and Federal MP for Bennelong, Jerome Laxale.

The Korean Community of Commerce in the City of Ryde (KCCR) remains a key partner – from the start of this remarkable visionary journey to inception and reality. A recipient of the prestigious NSW Government Uptown Program, KCCR’s unwavering dedication and collaboration with the City of Ryde paved the way for the formal establishment of the Koreatown precinct on Rowe Street East.

Eastwood Koreatown sparked an outpouring of enthusiasm from the local community, a testament to the City of Ryde’s dedication to inclusivity and cohesiveness. This bustling district, wholeheartedly embraces diversity, encourages local entrepreneurship, and is destined to become a cherished landmark, welcoming enthusiasts of all-things-Korean as well as visiting tourists and travellers.
