Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The Kimchi fried rice, La Galbi, the Korean Fried chicken were all great and would happily recommend."
  • "The best and most flavourful Kimchi fried rice I ever had! The sauce of the sweet and spicy chicken was also really nice."

Cons:

  • "I would not recommend the Mul-naengmyeon (Korean cold noodles in chilled broth), the noodle was not very good and too soft."
  • "The quality has decreased over the last year. The warm dishes came cold, the noodle sauce was undercooked."

  • "Foods good but the google map shows that they closed at 15:00 and we came at 14:25, and the server told us the kitchen’s already closed."
  • "The food was nice. But service was bad. I order 3 dishes. 2 dishes were not I ordered."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "The interior simple but cosy but the main draw is the excellent South Korean cuisine served here."
  • "A bustling place full of lovely young people."
  • "Very Chilled and Laid Back Restaurant which belies the organization and service to keep a very popular restaurant where people queue to get in running smoothly."
  • "The atmosphere was great though, and we all had a good time."

Cons:

  • "The whole restaurant look like it needs a lick of paint and new tables and chairs!"
  • "Tables were dirty and sticky."
  • "Horrible sanitary conditions, grease all over the tables, spiders crawling everywhere."
  • "Disgusting environment with an terrible smell….with the worst services i’ve ever seen…."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The prices are low and you get a lot for your money."
  • "Great value for money. Food portions were big enough for us to leave happy and with a full stomach."
  • "Quaint authentic Korean Restaurant. Very affordable and such a steal for the quality of food!"
  • "Value: 4.5/5 - prices are actually on the lower-end for Korean food in the area, thought the portion sizes were decent."

Cons:

  • "The warm dishes came cold, the noodle sauce was undercooked, the portions have become much smaller, the cheese of the ttoppoki was hard, the price much higher…"
  • "The food is like Russian roulette, some you get, some you don't, I order sweet fried chicken, it arrived after I asked for the bill, my Jajangmyeon is missing Cucumber."
  • "The food is most disgusting restaurant I have ever been to in London!!!"
  • "The waitress asked us to pay and leave after we reserved our seats in advance and had not finished eating."
