Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "The fried chicken is tender and crispy!"
  • "The Seoul bowl with grilled chicken was much larger than expected and definitely worth the money."
  • "Amazing Korean fried cauliflower and iced tea, everything was super good and fresh."
  • "The chicken thighs were tender and juicy, and the signature sauce added a nice kick."

Cons:

  • "The chicken was dry, tasteless, hard, and not juicy at all."
  • "The battered coating is thick and crunchy, making the chicken small, hard, and dry."
  • "Unfortunately, the grilled chicken wasn’t bad – just expensive for the portion size."
  • "The chicken burgers were okay taste-wise, but the chicken itself was slightly tough."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "Staff is extraordinary friendly and welcoming."
  • "The staff were great from the start with a lovely welcome."
  • "Pracas greeted us at the door, he was very kind, explained everything."
  • "The staff handing out the food clearly hate their jobs."

Cons:

  • "However, after we finished our meal, me and my friend suffered from severe food poisoning."
  • "In a half empty restaurant, we were approached by a very rude staff member forcing us to move to a tiny table."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The deals are good, and the prices are good, offering fantastic value."
  • "My meal cost GBP18, which is great value for the quality of food."
  • "The 12 piece fried chicken platter was value for money."
  • "PRICE: Cheap for the quality they serve, you can have a nice meal for around 12 pounds."

Cons:

  • "It was pretty tasty fried chicken, but you pay more than a few pennies for it."
  • "The prices of the burgers were slightly dear."
  • "Food was kinda nice, but way too much oily! You can barely feel the taste of food because of it."
  • "The price has gone up to £11.45 for the Seoul bowl, which I find very disappointing."

Ambience and Location

Pros:

  • "Lovely place with a lovely atmosphere, and they are always happy to take you in."
  • "The food is good, ambience is good, definitely worth a visit."
  • "Atmosphere is probably the best you will find for a fast food restaurant."
  • "Nice place to grab a bite to eat."

Cons:

  • "Only quibble is that its location is within a shopping centre, not a setting that lends itself to a leisurely meal."
  • "The restaurant itself has a really good vibe and a great place to eat, but prices are a bit high."
  • "The decor is nice but the chicken was so overcooked to the point that it was hard and dry like beef jerky."
  • "The decor was funky and edgy so that's a plus point, but the food was far from edible."
