    and this evening I tried some dishes that I had never tasted before. I was in a Korean restaurant in Geneva centre. you can take different plates of meat and have the possibility to cook ourselves in the barbecue present in the center of the table. with the meat, the waiters bring you some other side dishes. it was very delicious 😋

    We had Korean BBQ on the table grill. It was the first time we tried this and it was nice: the marinated meat comes on a plate and then you just grill it for a few minutes directly at the table. We liked the pork and beef the best — we also ordered a chicken, but it was a bit boring in comparison.

    Popped in here for lunch and the food was very authentic! Tried the pork with soy sauce and it was absolutely delicious. Huge portion as well - I had to have another bowl of rice to finish it all. Side dishes were served also. Reasonable price about 22 chf for the lunch set. Would definitely recommend if you’re craving for some Korean food!

    Food was ok but the service was not very friendly and pushed us to leave fast! They put all our meat on the grill although we did not want and they brought the bill together with the dessert. Most negative was, that the restaurant has no ventilation and your clothes smell really bad afterwards

    So far, one of the better Korean restaurants I have tried in Geneva. The spicy beef soup was very tasty. The soft tofu stew was okay... tofu could be softer. The stir-fried squid was not bad, quite favorful. Side dishes were good. Overall, good experience.

    This place is right next to a Novotel hotel so if you don’t speak French, it is ok. They are fluent in English. Great selection of food and the sides are yummy. One of us can’t eat handle too spicy, the restaurant tries to accommodate the soft tofu soup for her and it turned out great.

    Definitely the best Korean restaurant in Geneva! The Korean bbq is spectacular! The staff are friendly as well. The portion are quite big too, so it is amazing when you come here with your friends or family.

    I'm torn with this place. The food is great but the timed double service seating is very annoying. They're maximising their profits at the comfort of diners because the timed slots are too short. They will literally force you out at closing time and you cannot stay one minute longer. I've been here a couple of times and the end of the dining experience is always ruined, despite the food be exceptional. The food is absolutely delicious and the price is reasonable. The dining area can be hit and miss: tables by the front door get uncomfortably cold in winter while the back area gets unbearably noisy if there are big parties. Servers are nice enough, except 10 minutes before closing when they harass you to leave. Maybe dining at lunchtime would be a better experience.

    We’ve been here already a few times and we always go back with pleasure. It’s probably the best Korean bbq in town. They also have a great selection of appetizers and other dishes. Very good Korean beer, as well as other drinks. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Totally recommended!

    The restaurant seems authentic. The food was good and the service was excellent. There were a good range of choices for the BBQ as well. The vegetables assortiment can be refilled, if needed.

    Truly attentive service: rapid and precise. Food is really tasty and the cooking directly on the dining table adds a fun nuance to the dinner. Prices are within Geneva standards: we paid 50 chf per person for a very large dinner with 3 courses and several beers.

    Trust me. The dishes taste just like in Korea restaurant. But there are some differences: The bibimbap didn't serve with the sauce Bbq meat didn't serve with vegetable to wrap it. Decoration is combination of western & Korean. Most of the staffs are Korean.

    i live nearby the restaurant but have never been here. Today i visited it with my parents and liked it very much. As I am a korean food enthusiast, i found the Japchae (which i purchase everywhere) to be a close replica of the one i ate in Korea. Banchans (small side dishes) are free. The starters such as the soup and japchae are main course sized so we ended up not being able to eat everything. The food comes fast. Service is great. The prices however are around 30CHF, pretty expensive. 화이팅!

    I love this place. We order several BBQ dishes and it was really fun and delicious. The service exquisite and very kind. I totally recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Shui-Kei Tang A. 4 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Excellent service with great food. Will definitely come back. Perhaps a bit more air circulation would improve the warm temperature and smell on clothes, but doesn't change my mind to come back.

    Went there to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The food was good, the staff were attentive although the restaurant was full. Excellent Place for Korean food in Geneva.

  • 5/5 Nipawan B. 3 years ago on Google
    BBQ is the same like in other Korean restaurant (it will be good if you have seafood also) but I like side dishes here is very nice. I will come back to try other things next time.

  • 5/5 Hoa P. 1 year ago on Google
    It is very nice restaurant with good & authentic food. Staffs are friendly & helpful. Price is reasonable.

  • 5/5 Big D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was fantastic. We decided to go full on barbeque and got the beef and duck. Great atmosphere with lots of koreans too (locals = reliablity), would recommend to take friends here. A slight let down was the staff, they were slow to give us a table and they never really came to our table unless we wanted more food or to take away the plates. The music towards the back of the restaurant is also slightly too loud which can be off-putting for some people. Even with those small details, the place is definitely worthy of a 5 star.

  • 3/5 Jean Edgar M. 2 years ago on Google
    It was our fist Korean restaurant visit, being vegetarians we should have checked the menu prior of going there, as they really specialize in meat of many kinds that looked very tasty. We were left with very few options, which turned out far too spicy (hot chili) for us. But we enjoyed the overall vibe, the good service and the friendly atmosphere.

👍👍 Best pizza in town. Excellent dough. Many topping super tasty such as fior de latte or spicy sausages. Great pasta as well. Lots of choice of other italian dishes. Great desert such as canoli . Good barolo wine less than 50chf. On the downside the cocktail are not so good. The venue is noisy, don't...
