Excellent service, waitstaff were very attentive. It was busy as we were there on a Friday night but we were seated and served promptly and efficiently. Ventilation was pretty good, and the dinner set for two was really filling (as it usually is with Korean BBQ, with all the kimchi refills and side dishes). Young, energetic ambience of uni students in the city on a Fri-yay.

I like to go there to eat veg Japhae, and Bibimbup. Always find seats there (for 2). If you go with more than 4 people you might need to book.
In the photo is a chicken dish which my friend ordered. You can choose to have it with Salad or Miso soup.
Food come out pretty fast and the waitress/waiter always ready for order.

Tried the deep dried chicken (spicy). Was quite sweet and not so spicy. Good ambience. Worth a visit.

We dropped in for a extended family at lunch.

Good GF options. English is not the wait staffs first language.

Great falvours and not too pricing. Love the spicey chicken

The army stew here is very tasty and full of meat, noodles and veggies. You can never go wrong when you order this here. I havent yet had the chance to try the bbq but it does look good as I can see from the satisfied smiles on other customer faces.

Not a pleasant dining experience at all. Me and my friends were seated next to the door and we had to get up to let other customers walk in. There were plenty space inside the restaurant but obviously they were saving them for non Asian customers.

Terrible service and attitude from the staff and who I assume is the manager.
Will never come back.

Very good service and atmosphere. We didn't do the BBQ, just regular dishes. My soft tofu kimchi stew was delicious and just the right amount of spicy and their tea selection is very good. Just a tad on the expensive side.

Cutlery was unclean. The plate had dried crusty bits from previous use. My side dish was served with a fly crawling in the pasta appetiser.

We had found a piece of paper towel in the kim-chi soup. We had distributed the soup between the six of us and after having the soup, we found the piece of paper. We brought it to the waiters attention but we were left disappointed as he had just taken the bowl, without apology, and replaced it with a new one.

I repeat, this waiter did not apologies or offer to replace our soup.

Horrible wobbly chairs, very uncomfortable. Not enough service. Quality of meat not great for the price.

First visit here was recommended by a friend really enjoyed the night celebrating with over 20 people. Food was delicious especially the Korean BBQ and the sochi. Service was very efficient they cooked the BBQ which was a bonus. We were on the top level with prams. All up it was a great night and not expensive.

I was expecting an awesome Korean BBQ but instead we got unmarinated slabs of meat. Nothing Korean about it!

Excellent food with all the usual Korean favourites. The Japchae, rice cakes, and bulgogi in particular are excellent.

Good quality food & drink, but the menu is a bit pared back and westernised. Great if you want someone to cook the bbq for you ;D

Lacklustre bbq dishes: bulgogi and salted chicken. Lacklustre fried scallops. Waiters didn’t come help turn over the bbq at all. Table wasn’t cleaned properly prior to seating. Won’t be returning.

Love this place! Have been a regular for a year now. Always consistent with their tremendous service, excellent food and great atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to impress your peers. This is the place to take them!

Not great. Used to be alot better. And no toilet paper in the toilets. Also inappropriate music choices - i had my 9 year old ith me and the music, which is turned up loud, gas the words p***y and f*** in it.

Meat quality is just average. Not worth for value. Pork bone soup is one of their best and so is cheese corn starter. Kimchi and side dishes are below our standard. I think quality went down.
