Best korean restaurant ever! The food is delicious and the service was fast! Mai and Sky along the rest of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back many more times!

Very small place so it can be crowded. Its always busy so expect to wait outside. Come as a small party, otherwise it will be a long queue time. Food was really homely and delicious. Some seating is quite old downstairs, i was sitting on chairs fixed with tape: 10% off discount if you pay in cash. The cheese snow chicken was amazing.

Best korean restaurant! We were a group of 9-10 people. Thank you for accomodating us so well. Amazing service and I cannot say enough about the food! Everything we had were all so delicious and very reasonably priced too. Mai and Sky were superb along with all the other staff. We will definitely return!

I really enjoyed the food. Food was Delicious and also good service. There were many Korean queuing in front of the restaurant, so I think this place must be the original taste. The staff were friendly. I would recommend.

We booked for 12 people but were given a small room that fit 8-9 people at best. The food is not bad, but there are better options for Korean food in London. I would avoid getting the jjajangmyeon as it was the most disappointing dish out of everything we ordered.The atmosphere was great though, and we all had a good time.

Amazing food, no kidding. A great restaurant serving all sorts of legit Korean dishes with top-notch quality and reasonable price. Staff were friendly as well.The only thing I could be picky about the food I ordered was that the noodles for jajangmyeon were not handmade, such a shame.It could have been a unconservative 5 star but unfortunately the restaurant is a bit dirty… sticky floor with overwhelming toilets. Would be great if they can improve on this end.You can also get 10% off if you pay in cash, so…

well well well what can i say. Out of the multiple korean restaurants i have tried in London, this is definitely one of the better ones as seen by the number of asians who bother to line up for at least 30+mins. Out of all the dishes we tried, I would recommend the LA galbi. The rest were all decent, solid. One thing which makes this place worth going to, is the portion size you get for the price, not really compromising on the taste.

Best korean food so far. Affordable price. Just minor that we were sitting next to the door so everytime someone come in and out the door would close so loud and wind blow in make us feel so cold. Maybe the restaurant could invest in soft close or something to prevent the door slam so hard when it cold. Other one that everything was good.

I’d attended the premises of this restaurant on 11-11-2023. This was after watching the Paul Choudhry comedy show, at Top Secret Comedy Club.It’s just an extra 1/2 min(s) walk from the venue.You still would have to wait for a little bit, to which I had to do for about 20/30 mins. This was in the rain. If people are queuing up in the rain. Then the food must be good, right!?I was greeted and told to go downstairs for my table. I was fortunate to be given a whole table that serves 4 all to myself. Which had suited me perfectly.So a few things I need to highlight. The decor / appearance of this restaurant is showing its age. It’s not maintained well at the moment. When coming out from downstairs. The tables are very compact together, which causes people to leave the premises by squeezing between other diners. This is a health and safety risk, and also not to risk in jeopardising your clothing being contaminated when walking by other diners food, etc.Their toilet is in a disrepair state and requires major repair; please refer to the picture. I find it unacceptable that tiles are dropping off and leaning against my trainers / jeans.The water being served is what I feel is rustic and poorly inexcusable fillers. It has limescale and this is totally unacceptable. I would advise to get bottle water or use your own water bottle if you carrying one with you.I’d ordered the following:Seafood Pancake - this is using prawns and squid. This was nice but I would have liked more spring onions and a little more seasoning. Neither dense nor soggy.Korean Fried Chicken (50/50) - I had ordered this with Soy Garlic sauce and Snow Cheese - this is powered cheese and I sadly was left disappointed. I think this should be with grilled cheese like that offer with their other dishes.Chicken Bibimap - sadly disappointed with the flavour, tone and texture of their version. When compared to other Korean restaurants I’d visited. Vegetables were fresh.Chicken Mandu Dumpings - I don’t know if these are in-house made or what I think is from a frozen packet. This is a new item they offer as an appetiser.Corn & Cheese - this was very nice, the corn was very sweet and the cheese was perfect. However, I felt the ratio of melted cheese to corn was lacking. If ordering, make sure to tell them you want extra melted cheese.Nearest underground stations is Covent Garden or a little further will be Holborn. This being on the Piccadilly line.There are hotels nearby, one of them being a Travel Lodge.No public transport buses come through these roads.As for parking. I believe you may park after a certain time for it to be free in the evening. However, during the day may cost dearly and be more difficult.The food was nice, the service I felt was a little rushed. The appearance of the restaurant needs some maintenance, as it gives a sense of being poorly maintained and perhaps giving the idea of the food being somewhat poor too.
