Incredible food and great service. Everything we ordered was delicious and food arrived on a timely manner.

The dishes that stood out the most were the Rolled Up Roe Omelette and Pork Belly with Rice Crepe Wrap. The omelette was so soft and flavourful. The pork belly was tender and extra chewy the to the crepe wrap. The Crispy Corn Pancake was very crispy and delicious as well. The Cod Roe Seafood Udon was also delicious - the noodles were cooked perfectly and the soup base was very rich.

We also ordered the Garlic Crusts & Spicy Chicken and the Wasabi Cream Chicken. Both were good but not outstanding

In terms of drinks, we ordered the Macgeolli slush in the Yogurt and Melona flavour. I personally don’t like the melon melona flavour that much so that one was less enjoyable. The yogurt slush was delicious.
Finally, instead of the regular side dishes that Korean restaurants have (like Kimchi, potato), Take31 service spicy rice cakes (teokbeokki). As someone who loved spicy rice cakes, I was very happy with this throughout the dinner.

Was very pleased by the food and service here. The staff was very friendly and the food tasted very authentic.

I particularly enjoyed the deep fried jumbo prawn with salty egg yolk - the salty egg yolk really added to the flavour and texture of the dish. The sliced beef and ox tripe in chili sauce, along with the stir fried loofah were also delicious - they tasted just like the dishes back home. The same goes for the mixed meat and bamboo shoot soup - very mild in flavour, yet refreshing. Though some slices of meat were a bit tough to chew so they could have been cooked longer. The home style crispy fish was also good but nothing that special.

Truly had a wonderful dining experience. Started off with the Aged Cheddar Rillettes and it was delicious - the fry bread was very soft and flavourful and the truffled cauliflower cheddar dip complimented it nicely.

Ordered the Roasted Duck, Salmon and Roister Chicken as the mains. The duck was well seasoned and came with scallion pancakes to rap the meat. It was also accompanied with fried rice which was wonderful. The Salmon was extremely juicy and tender - probably the best cooked salmon I’ve had in a restaurant. The Roister Chicken is famous at this restaurant and it lived up to the hype - fried to perfection and flavoured very well. I did, however, enjoy the other dishes more.

For desserts, we ordered the Cookies and Milk and it was good, but the milk ice cream was too sweat and sticky for my liking.

Pretty good Vietnamese food for a good price. Ordered the pork chop vermicelli dish and it was as expected - flavourful and filling. The service was okay.
Amazing Chinese small eats. Read about this restaurant from the Michelin guide and it met my expectations. Highlights were the beef scallion pancakes and beef noodles. The peking duck buns were also delicious. The bokchoy was tasty but would probably skip out on it next time as it’s overpriced. I do think the restaurant is a bit overpriced overall for how casual it is. The service was also mediocre.
