Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the freshness and flavor of dishes like beef bulgogi and kimchi fried rice, which are always prepared with care. Many highlight the generous portion sizes, making them perfect for sharing or enjoying alone. The restaurant’s halal offerings have become a draw for many diners seeking authentic Korean food that accommodates their dietary needs, all without compromising on taste.
The warm and welcoming staff consistently receive compliments for their attentive service and family-like atmosphere. The speed of service also stands out— diners often find their meals prepared quickly, allowing them to dive into delicious food without long waits, making it ideal for a quick lunch or dinner.
Most Disliked
Some customers have noted that the seating area can get warm during hotter days, which might make it uncomfortable for some diners. Although the restaurant’s casual vibe is appealing, the temperature can detract slightly from the experience at peak times. Additionally, the limitations of the location mean there is no outdoor seating, which some guests may prefer in pleasant weather.
Another point of critique is that the restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays, leaving some customers without a chance to enjoy their favorite Korean dishes on weekends when they might have more time to dine out.

Amazing food that was very filling. I spent just under £10 while my cousin spent £17. They were very quick with making the food and the service was excellent. Will definitely come back here when I’m in the city again!

Brilliant place. Authentic Korean food, done well and good value for money. Really enjoyed my meal 10/10. From order to eating was about 5 mins, which is perfectly fine. Definitely will be back. The owners even let me practice my Korean language skills on them and we're so friendly. Recommended.

Really nice food and HMC halal too. Loved the fried chicken. Service was excellent and the place and cooking is done in hygienic conditions. The quality was good , The first time I tried Korean food. Prices are a bit expensive, especially the soft drinks. The corn dog was very good .
