Selene LiszkaApril 16, 2012One of my favorites, most of the entrees are under £7. It is very authentic, I like beef bulgogi. Tea is free but tepid, you get one side dish free – the only problem is the crowd of foreign students
Set B for 2 recommended. Pork and kimchi stew, rice cake in sweet chili sauce, kimchi, rice and drinks for just £35. Best Korean experience in London. Must try!
Eva Aguado CastroSeptember 27, 2013The croquettes, nigiri sushi and yukimi were delicious, and so was the miso soup they served as a starter...so yummy!
Jennie NguyenDecember 16, 2011Try bibimbap, rice cake in chilli sauce, Kim chi & beef stew, slice ox tongue and spicy belly pork. All delicious & highly recommended
Rafael ParedesAugust 21, 2013Try the Marinated beef & Kimchi stew. It feeds 2 for £22.00. You get a free liter of tea!
Scott GJanuary 26, 2014The food is rather good, staff helpful enough. Be prepared to have to stand outside waiting for a table during busy periods.- Cluster FatFebruary 25, 2014Ask for the sundubu jiigae (hot spicy tofu broth). Hits the spot everytime!
Recommended stuff to order: bibimbap, kimchi pancake, rice cake and one of the hot pots. Alongside a bottle, or two, of Soju. :D
Lunch specials are only £4.50 and lots to choose from - vegie bibimbap, potato glass noodles, spicy chicken/squid etc and rice. Most people eating in were having hot pots.
Greg WMarch 3, 2012Small serves for main meals, so def only go during lunch special 12-3pm. Power cut out too!
Kristina PhamOctober 29, 2014Food is below mediocre, I wouldn't even have know if was korean food had I not been told that's how bad it was. The barbecue is like stir fried which is a laugh and everything else was bland.
Its spicy BBQ chicken and BBQ ox tough is absolutely exquisite.Go there early as there is always a big queue!
Marcel DaemsJune 10, 2013Very disappointing. The food is not bad, and I do believe it's fresh but strangely enough there wasn't much taste to it. The price was so not worth it. Very, very disappointing...
ThisoSeptember 7, 2014The dishes were not that bad, but they still need to improve them and the waiters should be more reactive to their customers.
Alex CorreaMay 11, 2014Very unpleaseant experience. Pricy and tasteless. Staff rude. Will not come back. 2 restaurants next door were much better.
Chris BrowneFebruary 2, 2014Unpleasant experience. Waitress was incredibly rude and spiteful. Never again. Food quality has also gone downhill.
nuches sirithaveeDecember 4, 2010Sorry to say this but i think there was too much MSG to eat. my sister got an allergic on their food.
Wordbank LtdJuly 18, 2011Fantastic Korean restaurant with great specials. Why not ask what the specials are in Korean? - "오늘 스페셜 메뉴는 뭐에요?" [Onul "special menu"nun moyeyo?]
