“ I had this restaurant on my list for years and finally we had the opportunity to pay it a visit and O-M-G it was fantastic!!! We went for lunch on a weekday and ordered the lunch deal which includes a side main drink only for 10!! Our favorites were the kimchi pancake, the kimchi and the KFC bab. However we consider the latest one extremely sweet. The service was good and we had plenty of time after lunch to keep chatting . I'd definitely be back with more friend! ”
“ A total delight. The quality of the food is exceptional and far outstripped our expectations. I’d recommend getting a table here now before the guardian catches wind and you’re unable to get a reservation. ”
“ You arrive in your perfect, bite-sized form, crisp and golden. Each delicate crunch is a symphony, the way your tangy kimchi dances with the savory warmth of your batter. You are the midday delight I didn’t know I needed, pure unmatched perfection. While the dinner version may be nice and filling, it’s your smaller, crunchier presence that makes my heart skip a beat. Lunchtime kimchi pancake, you are, without a doubt, the highlight of my afternoon. Forever in awe of your perfect crunch, M ”
“ OMG YUM! WOW. New favourite restaurant in Stoke Newington! As someone who eats a lot of Korean food I can hand on my heart say this is absolutely top notch. Vibes are perfect for date night, or family meal, or catching up with friends. Lots of different seating options/arrangements and nice, warm lighting with lots of natural light from big window view. The seafood pancake was one of the best I've ever had, and the seafood bap has established itself as my new go-to order. Soo sweet and tangy and tasty! Banchan deliciously flavoured, and the Korean Fried Chicken was perfectly done. Portions are SUPER generous. Owner is so friendly, welcoming and attentive. Love, love, love! Just feeling really passionate about spreading the word on this place because it feels like a real hidden gem. ”
“ Great food, quality sized portions, friendly staff and welcoming lunch deals (from 6.50-10). Been several times and i need to watch the waistline ”
“ My family went to this excellent restaurant. We had a delightful evening there with delicious dishes and a well-trained and kind staff. We put this place in our list and we shall no doubt go again soon. Highly recommended, especially fried YangNyeum chicken and fried chicken. My kids loved this as well. ”
“ I’ve been looking for a good Korean restaurant in London for the last 5 years and I am so happy to finally have found one!! It is very authentic Korean and everything we’ve ordered was so delicious. Would definitely coming back very soon! ”
“ This Korean BBQ restaurant was perfect for the evening catch up I had planned with my friend, they were very welcoming, child friendly and every dish that we ordered was delicious! The cocktails (the Plum Delight and the Siren Ginger) and the Strawberry Soju were sweet, flavourful and strong enough for a nice buzz without getting you drunk. The Citron tea was sweet and a new experience that I would highly recommend. Food wise we had the thinly sliced beef steak and the thinly sliced pork belly for the bbq, we had the seafood pancake, Yangnyeom chicken, garlic fried rice and plain rice as side dishes too. The atmosphere was great, it wasn’t too loud and you could have a conversation without being drowned out by noise. All in all a wonderful experience. ”
