The ramen is SO GOOD! I love ramen generally, but this changed it up a bit with a more opaque broth and thinner pork that tasted really bacony. The fried egg was perfectly done. The chicken wings with garlic and Soy sauce was delicious and the sauce was super buttery. The rest of the food was generally good, but I felt these dishes pushed the meal into my GREAT category. The service was amazing, especially with just one waitress and a packed restaurant. I was super impressed. The speed the dishes were cooked and were served piping hot was 10/10

Our server was absolutely lovely and so patient with my very indecisive family who I went with. In total, we were a group of 5 people and all ordered one thing each totalling to 70 - I found this very reasonably priced. We ordered the chicken udon, chicken buns, beef bulgogi, boneless chicken, and cheese dduk bok gi, which was mine and absolutely the best I'd ever had! I sometimes find it too be a bit too sweet for my taste, but I found the sauce to be not overly sweet and I thought the portion size was perfect to finish before hitting that sickly sweet feeling I sometimes get with this dish in other places. My dad really enjoyed his beef bulgogi (despite my unfortunately blurry picture), which was actually still sizzling in the pan when it was brought out and smelled amazing. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a great atmosphere as well!

All the food we ordered are great and tasty! Definitely will visit again next time! The seafood pancake is crispy and full of begs and seafood. The glass noodles is nice match my expectation!

Great food at a reasonable price, I had a drink, starter, main and dessert for 20. Wide selection of food for all tastes. Smashing service, friendly, helpful and not at all pushy, l had a lovely relaxed lunch.

Great Korean cuisine from this newly opened restaurant. Having been to Seoul I can confirm this is an authentic experience. We had the Kim (seaweed), beef & pork Bulgogi (meat was tender), chicken Udon and some pork buns and of course, beer. Good customer service and food. The venue is a little small, so probably a good idea to book ahead. Recommended. Edit: Came back a second time, one month later and everything is just as good!
