    The restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing and is fairly roomy for 2-8 persons per booking. The service however was a down side despite the waiting staffs efforts. This maybe due to a management issue/ allocation of tables per staff member, etc. But it was a fair struggle to get the waiting staff's attention and never did they once take the time to proactively ask how we were on food/ drinks. One of the major dissapointments during our meal was that Bibimbaps were unavailable for our order, I would assume this would be due to a lack of stone bowls or issues with the cookware, as Bibimbaps are fairly simple in terms of their ingredients. But on our way out of the restaurant after the meal, we spotted one person with a bibimbap... the explanation from the waiting staff was not valid in this case. Food tasted ok, I ordered the Beef bulgogi from the bbq section. Fairly small portions but decent amount of flavour and cooked well. The Korean fried chicken had a nice variety some were fairly soft and succulent whereas some of the meet was overcooked and dry. Desserts looked great but faltered slightly in terms of texture as there were clumps of ice in some of the ones we ordered. Overall I give this establishment 2/5 stars: Looked great. Tasted ok. Service/ management needs major improvements.

    Perfect Korean food - super delicious! The atmosphere is quite nice - modern Korean Style. If you are not familiar with Korean food, just ask. The employees will you explain everything very detailed. Normally you will get every dish as soon as they are ready (maybe main dishes before starter).If want to get the meals separated by course , you have to order it step by step. - go for the mixed variant :) - during the early dinner time it is not so crowded.

    Efficient and polite service but the food was a bit of a mixed bag... I liked the grilled scallop, grilled asparagus and Jap chae (Korean glass noodles). The mackerel was good with the spicy sauce and it came with lots of veggies. The ice cream (sesame and green tea) was good too. The salmon tasted like frozen fish, the grilled mushroom was burnt and I didn’t like the sauce at all. The rice cake with cheese was very heavy and it wasn’t very pleasant as the dish got cold quite quickly... Overall, for the price that I paid, I wouldn’t complain too much.

    Quality and tasty food, even compared with many other Korean restaurants in London. I really like my beef soup. Also, I like the environment and how quickly they served the food given it was very busy during the lunch time.

    Visited a while ago, but I believe it is now temp closed. They have another chain in kings cross. The food here is always delicious, I have visited a few times. Can't wait till they open again. I had dumplings, fried prawns, beef with salad, the corn sticks in sauce, bipimbap and of course kimchi.

    As a huge fan of Korean cuisine, it was a must to go there during our stay in London. We booked in advance via OpenTable which worked perfectly as usual. We arrived early in the evening so there were still many seats available. An hour later around 7 p.m. it got really busy. The place seems to be very popular with Asians (we were surrounded by Chinese students). They tend to order the dishes others post and recommend on social media. Really fun to watch :) We’ve ordered Asahi beer (unfortunately Asahi is the only draft beer that is served in a pint glass). Our menu: Chimaek (4 wings and 2 strips) and scallops as starter, raw beef Dolsot Bibimbap and Ugeoji Galbitang soup (A flavourful soup made from cabbage leaves and short beef ribs slowly simmered in a beef rib stock and seasoned with soy bean topped with chilli and spring onion) as main dishes. Although the quality of Chimaek can’t compare to the original one we had in South Korea, Bibimbap and the soup were very good and especially the soup not too spicy. The atmosphere at the restaurant was quite lively however personally was expecting more of a Korean atmosphere (e.g. Korean staff, Korean music).

    Good food but quite crowded. Barbeque needed more flavor and the spicy bean sauce seemed congealed. Long delay for simple desserts. Overall, probably quality and service suffered from having so many customers.

    We had two good dishes where one of them was a more authentic korean dish. The crispy part on the gui salmon was not bad but in my opinion it hadn‘t much of a taste and unfortunately the broccoli was a little bit raw. The honey and gingseng tea we ordered was delicious and the look and feel of the teapod and cup was also nice. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself had a nice modern look.

    Authentic Korean experience . The starters are great...the kimshee cakes are a must try...the bibipmap was ok but could have been better. The chicken was not great but overall it was a good meal. The restaurant has a good atmosphere.

    Authentic Korean cuisine. When you enter you can sit down and enjoy a relaxing corner with pebbles and small waterfall. Staff was very friendly. The order were pretty fast and we got food immediately. It was Friday afternoon so it was busy, but luckily when we came at 6:00 pm it wasn’t that busy it started to be busy 15 minutes later. The food was delicious. Bibimbap had a heating container so I enjoyed my warm food for quite awhile. The food is very filling so I would definitely avoid starter or dessert or order these ones with main meal but without any extra side dishes.

    The decoration is great. Service was fast and waitress attentive. The man at the entrance was not really smiling. We had to insist to have a table as the place was busy and he found us a table. Sometime you have to push a bit 😅. The food was not amazing and bit dry. I had a great drink though : Sik Hye
