    The food looked amazing when it arrived however when we opened the bag and got the food out we found that most of the items had gone cold, the Korean style corn dogs were lovely however the rest of the food was stone Cold. We spent quite a bit of money and unfortunately Uber eats wouldn't give us a refund for the items that turned up stone cold. We hope when we can visit the restaurant after lockdown are experience will be alot better and we can actually enjoy the food fresh and straight to our table Can't wait to pop in soon πŸ˜ƒ

    Needed a quick takeaway meal.so we stopped at this place. But got surprised by 5 star service with an aloe vera drink on the house while I was waiting for my order. Very nice and kind staff. The food is absolutely lovely (my favorite pick is the kimchi, very hearty) and very well packed. Definitely would go back again when dine-in is allowed.

    We were in a minority here, the place was full of Asian guests, always a good sign of authentic food. Don't be put off by the non description exterior, the food is excellent and the staff friendly and delightful. The food isn't cheap, and it shouldn't be, it is good, tasty and worth it.

    The lady who served us was super polite and nice!! She gave us scissors to cut up our cold noodles and gloves so we don’t get our hands dirty when eating fried chicken :) Fried chicken was good but the one without sauce was a bit plain.. Also it was a bit pricy (Β£20 for a portion of fried chicken). Bibimbap was average, the cold noodles was refreshing so I can recommend that.

    Never had Korean BBQ before, but this was amazing! The BBQ beef bulgogi was really tasty and we got lettuce and rice with the veg to go with. It really was a great experience for any foodie! We shared dumplings, the hot chicken bites and a noodle dish. All were really tasty and filling! Definitely recommend if you’re on the lookout for Korean. They have a lot of authentic dishes to choose from and the staff are very friendly, if you need help choosing they have some recommendations!

    We’ve been coming to this place for more than a year already and it never disappoints. The Korean Fried chicken is spectacular specially the spicy one; the chef needs more than a day just to prep this fabulous spicy sauce for the fried chicken, no wonder why it is so good

    Always get takeaway from here as do not live close to K BAP. The Yamyum Korean Fried Chicken is always a staple and never fails to impress. It is a very large sharing portion and is great as a main in its own to feast on or to accompany different dishes. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly. I've not eaten in but can vouch for the professional services received multiple occasions on pick up. Would highly recommend this to get your Korean fix of food anytime!

    Lovely restaurant and lovely atmosphere. The food was amazing , the lady tending to us was really sweet and nice and helped us a lot when it came to our first Korean Bbq. I had a lovely experience dining here. I ordered takeaway previously quite often as the food is really really tasty and good and service is just exceptional! Thank you so much

    Myself and my friend have always loved making Korean food ourselves but have never been to Korean restaurant. The reviews seemed amazing, and the experience certainly lived up to our expectations! We ordered beef dumplings, Tteokbokki, army stew and pork belly BBQ with rice lettuce and kimchi. It all tasted amazing and you can tell it’s made with love! The staff were so lovely and attentive. We will 100% return! Ps- if you’ve never tried Tteokbokki or had it elsewhere, please try it here!

    The cooked meals are delicious - The pricing is just right - The music level is perfect, not too loud not too calm - Music choice is perfect - Inside decoration isn't crazy but that's fine - Placement of the tables is really nice, you're never too close to anyone - The staff is nice, they don't bother you while you're eating

    Never had Korean BBQ before but honestly this is a game changer, the food was amazing the staff where so polite and helpful. I didn’t have a clue what I was ordering, so we asked for a helping hand and they would even go out of there way to help cook the food for us. I can strongly suggest the ox tongue (unreal). Just an amazing time.

    Very good food and makes you feel so warm and homely! Pair it with a couple of Korean beers or Soju with Friends and you couldn't wish for more. The service is excellent and they come over often to help with the BBQ and check all's well. I'd go weekly just for the Bibimbap if I could. Enjoy!

    Lovely restaurant, really enjoyed cooking my own food. The other people with me had a bowl meal. In true Korean style the bowls were very spicy, I would not like to know how spicy the meals with a chilli next to them were. My marinated beef was not spicy whatsoever, it was moist and soft. Just don't overcook it.

    Went there for a lunch and got a Bibimbap. The food was delicious and you could make it spicy as you want with Gochujang-based condiment. The service was vey nice. Unfortunately there were no lunch deal and Β£15 per person is a bit high. However due to little number of Korean restaurants its understandable. Additionally the restaurant dΓ©cor was more of a fast food, thus not an ideal place for a date.

    Came here due to the top rated reviews, but was disappointed in the end. Arrived after 6 pm, only 1 waitress on duty, lead us sat down and left a self-tick ordering sheet with menu, no greetings, not feeling welcomed. Ordered 4 dishes, rice, noodle, pancake and soup, 3 of them were flavoursome, noodles only tasted blackbean sauce and all of them are expensive considering the location, service, food quality and dining conditions. Compared to other Korean restaurants i've been in SOHO and Portsmouth, this one is over priced and won't come back again.

    Lovely restaurant. The staff were very friendly. My mum has food allergy and the staff were very kind to try to help her. I don't have a food allergy but ive always wanted to try korean food and I really enjoyed it. Would love to visit again. I highly recommend. But if you do have a food allergy then it will be best to ask staff before ordering. I would give more stars if I could. Happy chuseok πŸ‡πŸŒ™

    λ„ˆλ¬΄ λ§›μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€! We stopped in for lunch today, and it was great. We've been looking for a Korean restaurant for ages, and I'm so glad we found this one, I want to go back and try everything on the menu! Food was delicious, especially the cheese tteokbokki, and the portions were very generous. I had the army stew, which I've been wanting to try for ages, and it was so good! The service was fast and the lady who served us was very friendly. I am definitely planning to go back again!

    5 stars to the KFC, which tastes reallyyyyy good. The Banban. Young stuff has a very good English proficiency, which is quite joyful. The owner could be Korean, sharing his photo on the wall, seemed to be kind. Generally, quite good

    Jumped in here on the off-chance before heading off to the cruise terminal. Gorgeous fresh food, really friendly service, and they were happy to accommodate our luggage!! Highly recommend. Table next to us were having the BBQ which I would have loved had we had more time, it looked fantastic.

    Expensive go to Manna Korean instead. More updated music would be appreciated. Understaffed staff ignore you when it's busy.

    Ordered a shared BBQ set, fried chicken and prawn dumpling. They were all delicious especially the fried chicken which we had 2 portions of, it was juicy and the taste was just right ! The ox tongue was bit chewy though. The staff were very friendly and helpful, he helped us cooked the BBQ and cut into bite size pieces. I wish he could introduce himself and offer to help with the BBQ cooking. The price is just below London's prices for Korean type of food.

    The lady who served me was very polite, the place looked nice. However, I the food was very overpriced. This is a shame because it looked like a very nice place and I get the fact that it's a "top" Korean chef etc. but the fried chicken I ordered was fairly bland, and then the other portion was the same bland chicken just smothered in a sweet chilli sauce and sprinkled with almond flakes. There was no stand-out to this especially for the price. If you would want to charge your customers nearly Β£20 for a portion of 6 chicken wings, then at least make this a meal set or make it so stand out that the price is justified. I don't think I'll be returning and quite frankly I would want a refund or some compensation due to how poor the food was for the price.

    As I enter K-Bap i am met but a lovely and polite young man who escorts me to my table. Theres a nice and diverse menu. I have ordered kimchee, a squid meal and a grape soju. The customer service has been fantastic so far and the food smells fantastic on the other tables. Here comes my kimchee and soju and it has been such a short wait. The kimchee is delicious, the spice dances around my mouth spreading an ecstatic range of flavours across my mouth, and the grape soju is a nice flavour as well. Would definitely recommend the combo. My main meal has arrived now. They have warned me rhat it is spicy but I am prepared. The vegetables and the squid is a good to perfection and the sauce has a spicy but sweet flavour. The spice is a nice spice where it compliments the food and really brings a party to my mouth. The rice is fluffier than a cloud and its a fantastic vessel to soak up the spice from the squid. The lady that I am being served by now is a beautiful soul. Kindness radiates from her eyes and she has a motherly aura to her. She has offered me to try Ssamjang for the first time and is refusing to let me pay for it. I had a lovely conversion with the woman and she truly is a beautiful human, a woman who gives off a sense of home and kindness aswell as hope. She is the type of person who restores your faith in humanity. The type of person that we need more of in the world. Food speed = 10/10 absolutely nothing to complain about. The food was fast and was the right temp Food Quality = 10/10 I had a fantastic meal and the portion size was good. I can eat for england but that was plenty for me. Venue = 7.5/10 the venue is a quaint restaurant off a main road, theres nothing wrong with it as it is lovely inside and very authentic and homely. Im just more of a fan of wow factor so apologies. Customer service = 10000/10 The customer service I had the pleasure of experiencing here was incredible. Some of the best ive ever had. Overall 10/10 I had a wonderful experience here and I would recommend anyone that is visiting southampton to give this restaurant a good.

They are so friendly and make you feel very comfortable. Each time I have gone, i have had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place for some good food, atmosphere and comfort. Will be going back again and again!
