Ambiance and Environment

Pros:

  • "Korean BBQ is always a fun experience to have, and luckily the food compliments the level of fun."
  • "The atmosphere is calm and homely and everything combined is just an experience."
  • "It’s so much fun, more than just a dinner, and the meat was excellent."

Cons:

  • "Floor was sticky when I walked in, pretty packed tables."
  • "A small Korean restaurant, cramped."
  • "Also, I have to mention the lack of extraction fans. Everyone's doing BBQ inside, and without proper ventilation, you leave the place smelling like smoke."
  • "Small, narrow cramped interior."
  • "The place is cramped and with very uncomfortable seating."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "All of us loved the food, we didn't feel rushed and it was very reasonably priced too!"
  • "We also find the prices to be super fair, we had a lot of food and spend ~35 per person with drinks."
  • "Absolutely Gorgeous Food !!! From the customer service to the dishes that my friend and I were served was worthy of Ten Stars !"
  • "Particularly enjoyed the wide pork and chicken selections given that our party could not have beef."
  • "The bibimbaps we had were lovely but the highlight of the meal was the cheese tteokbokki which was really morish."

Cons:

  • "Went in for dinner, my veggie friend got the ramen and came out in less than a minute still in the shape of an instant ramen packet."
  • "A bit pricy but compared to the other Korean restaurants it's reasonable."
  • "Only 1 and half hour dining is not enough. We had some BBQ meat still cooking and told us to leave in 5 mins."
  • "Prices have not been updated from online menu. Price increase understandable due to current economy but portion does not match."
  • "The food was delicious, but the service charge doesn't feel very fair since we did cook our own food."
