    The food tasted good, however this is not an authentic Korean bbq place. The experience is similar to Korean bbq, but the staff didn't even know what the ingredients they were serving were called. The '쌈장' was not authentic, they mixed it with something else. The beansprouts were not authentic, they should have used 콩나물. The lettuce (쌈) they used was not authentic. The kimchi (김치) was not authentic The pickles, were not authentic. This place markets itself as a Korean BBQ place, however it is not a Korean BBQ place, it's just a BBQ place with 'some' Korean inspiration.

    Amazing food and the price is worth it for all the food you get! We got the famous bulgogi set and the Cass Korean beer (😋👌) The staff were superb and really friendly, very attentive. Rolled out fat and happy 💚 100% recommend!

    The best experience anyone could ask for! Came for my girlfriends birthday and we were made to feel so special! Amazing food, some of the best servers we’ve ever had and overall one of the best meals out in a long time! Thank you so much for such a lovely evening. We will definitely be back!

    Group of 7 celebrating a birthday; great service, delicious food and an amazing amount of it. The grill was perfect and the glass noodles enjoyed by veggie friends were much enjoyed too. Recommended.

    Quite expensive for an average experience. The marinated duck was really tasty, but I can't say the same for the other meats. I am kinda disappointed that a bunch of the unlimited side dishes (especially the tempura sweet potato) was taken off the menu. Still, the duck is the ultimate redeeming factor for this one. I just don't recommend going too often for the sake of your bank account.

    Really fun eating experience, we probably could have spent quite a lot of time here. The meats provided were tasty, especially the marinated beef, we had lots and the sides were refillable too.

    I would say this was positive overall, good ambience, polite/attentive staff with a fun experience of grilling a variety of meat/seafood, where we enjoyed the Duck in particular. The side dishes for instance Rice, Lettuce, Kim Chi, Noodles are replaced on request, so no issues from our point of view. One general observation was they do not currently have an online booking system. They responded promptly to the e-mail reservation request which was great. However, this maybe a useful development.

    Absolutely delicious and excellent customer service. We had wonderful time and they even offered prosecco as it was our anniversary. Definitely would recommend. Fresh ingredients and very tasty. Thank you for making our evening so wonderful today.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining here and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The highlight of the evening was, undoubtedly, the best customer service. What truly set this place apart was the attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. They guided us through the menu, ensuring the power of heat and if we need more rice or other side. The marination was exquisite, allowing the meat to melt in your mouth with each succulent bite. Side dishes were a delightful complement to the main course. Each dish was meticulously prepared, showcasing a diverse range of flavors and textures. The ambiance was vibrant, yet intimate, making it an ideal setting for a memorable dining experience. The cozy seating arrangements and subtle Korean decor added a touch of authenticity to the evening. I must also commend the restaurant’s commitment to cleanliness and safety measures, which provided an added layer of comfort.

    Never been to this type of restaurant before so I've nothing to gauge my experience today, however the service and food was both amazing we didn't feel rushed and the set meal of £39 each was plenty of food and you also get as much of the sides as you can eat. We also got a nice glass of fizz on arrival and ice cream to finish. I can highly recommend the black sesame seed ice cream It is very tasty indeed. It's a full 5 stars from me 👍🏻 give this place a try as you won't be disappointed, oh and one tip if you intend to visit after 6pm book your table.

    Don’t even know where to begin - when the dining experience has become more important than ever for value for money and satisfaction; I have not enjoyed all elements of food, service, drink and ambience THIS much in so long. Big fan of Korean food, drink…okay K-Drama - and wanted to try Korean BBQ for a long time and so glad this is how we did it…although standards might now be too high I fear! Incredibly well thought out, authentic and high quality ingredients present an amazing set menu where every single element was joyous - everything was seasoned to perfection and plentiful - thanks to helpful and courteous staff who were never invasive yet always on hand when something was running low. BBQ’s themselves were high-end with no mess and issues with overheating and spitting. Ice-cold Korean beer and a get eat selection of Korean spirits accompanies the beautiful, lean meat perfectly. All crockery was no expense spared and such a lovely, subtle edition to the dining experience - even down to the side plates and beautiful clay vessels used to pour the Soju. Not one for desserts, staff (none-forcefully, only upon request for recommendations) suggested black sesame and lychee salted caramel ice-creams and what an experience. Everything combined made a truly perfect, memorable dining experience filled with incredible staffing, high-end food, high-quality drinks and amazing ambience under a hugely authentic aesthetic. So many Korean restaurants also blast K-Pop to create such experience but the volume was also perfectly balance to only compliment the atmosphere. Cannot wait to return - thank you.

    Foods are fine. Tiny table for a korean grill for 4 people. We had to try to fit all the set orders for 4 on our table,it's quite uncomfortable to eat. I think this is perfect for 2 ~ 3 people.

    Came here for the first time for my birthday lunch with the family. The tables were nice and spacious, clean and staff extremely attentive throughout, making it clear how the process worked. The express lunch menu was fantastic value for money since you got plenty of 2 choices of meat or fish, and unlimited sides which they would consistently replenish. We also all had the crushed pear juice which was delicious!! Overall a fantastic, novel experience for me, a very social way to dine and in fact slowed down the pace of eating which helped us savour it more. Looking forward to the next visit!!

    Food was excellent. Service was excellent they were constantly asking if you needed anything. There was plenty of food.

    One of my fave places to eat in Leeds! Staff are brilliant at refilling the unlimited sides. We went for the early bird menu but couldn’t resist going for the full menu, it was worth the extra! We didn’t feel rushed, the interactiveness of cooking the meat yourself makes it fun and different, the sides are all delicious too! Can’t fault this place at all ☺️
