    If you are looking for an authentic Korean experience don’t go there. No Kimchi served. No staff are Korean and have the Korean flag wrongly printed on their uniforms!

    Food was good, the all-you-can-eat deal was good value for money. However, service was patchy as there doesn’t seem to be enough trained staff. Very importantly, they need to make is a lot more explicit when booking that they do not serve alcohol and that BYOB is not allowed. We’re very disappointed that we’re not able to accompany the sizzling Korean bbq with some ice cold beer!!

    First time here, walked in, no service or offer for drinks or any explanation as to how it works, or guidance or recommendations. Left at table for 30+ mins till we got fed up and asked for help. Food was average. Was going to stay for dessert but didn’t bother.

    Absolutely awful service. Took forever to order. Brought wrong order twice and then tried to charge us for things we hadn’t ordered. Filthy floor. No paper in loo. Won’t be back.

    The food is alright, but not worth the price. If halal is not a requirement for you, there’s 10x better options in other places for the fraction price of here.
