Overall is okay. Can’t say really authentic but it’s okay if you want some Korean food. LA short rib is good. Sweet and spicy fried chicken could be better, tasted a bit Chinese style TBH but still not bad. Kimchi pancake is quite soft, not my type as I prefer something more crispy. Budae Jjigae is overpriced, not worth it (personal opinion). We went around 6pm Saturday and no need to wait, but there was a long queue when we got out around 7:30pm.
This was the BEST Korean food I have had in all of Europe. MUST visit for Korean food lovers when visiting London. Definitely recommend, very authentic Korean taste.
We came here for a dinner with my colleagues. They have a huge selection of food and drink. We liked everything we ordered. Very good taste, friendly service. The food portions are quite big but very delicious. Great value for your money.
Quite an underwhelming experience to be honest. The Korean fried chicken wasn't that great, the dumplings were decent and the Kimchi pancake was okay as well. I've definitely had much better tteokbokki and bibimbap in London, would definitely recommend to go to other places!
Overall nice food and atmosphere at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to assist. We arrived at 9pm and waited around 15 minutes to be seated - about three groups of people were waiting before us. Recommend trying the Toppoki (Korean rice cake) with chilly sauce.
Really good food and atmosphere. There was a 15-20 minutes wait and we went at 8pm. Food was really good especially the Korean fried chicken. Portion sizes also good. Costs are slightly expensive but expected for a restaurant in London.
The food was delicious and it was a great atmosphere. We went at an off-peak time so we got in straight away but when we came out (approx 7pm) there was a queue of about 12 people waiting to get a table so it’s clearly a very popular place! It seemed like a very traditional Korean meal and there was so much choice on the menu, even the drinks menu had so many options! Will definitely go back again, sometime soon hopefully :)
Great food great atmosphere and excellent service from the staff. Do try the Korean fried chicken when you do visit
Do get there early on weekends as they don't do reservations and there is a big queue outside the restaurant by 6.30.
