Established in 2004, No.1 Pancake has become a bit of an institution with those seeking a cheap eat in the city centre. Located in a kiosk on the corner of Wellesley and Lorne Streets, you will often see queues of people waiting for one of their tasty Korean pancakes.
With a tempting selection of sweet and savoury options to choose from, all of which cost less than $5, some of their more popular offerings include beef and cheese, ham, pineapple and cheese and their deliciously sweet cinnamon and sugar.

I LOVE this 'cheap eat'. It's worth the wait, trust me. This isn't gourmet fare but it's comfort food on the cheap when you're waiting for your next pay day. They do both sweet (chocolate, red bean) and savoury (potato, cheese, chicken & cheese, etc). I've grabbed a sweet &/or savoury pancake instead of cooking tea when I've felt super lazy. The staff are always cheerful. Long live Korean pancakes!
While I was at uni the Korean pancakes from No. 1 Pancakes were my go to for lunch. Endless sweet and savoury pancakes are churned out of the busy little hole in the wall. My personal favourite is the ham and cheese pancake. It’s almost more like a toastie than a pancake, with a crispy interior and gooey centre. The best thing is that the are super affordable and always fresh. Worth checking out!
