The food was amazing and the staff were so lovely. It was a quiet lunchtime when we went, so not many people around. The food was served quickly. Definitely recommend.

5 stars all round! Making the reservation was easy, ticked the box saying it was for a birthday (my partners).When we arrived, the staff were really friendly and welcoming, the service as a whole was super efficient and attentive. We were offered water as soon as we sat down which was nice, since it was a hot day! The inside of the restaurant is cool but classy, fab atmosphere.We had the ‘Storm in a Cave’ cocktail and a Gin and Lemonade, both of which you could definitely taste the alcohol, both really good!For food we had the ‘Loaded Tater Tots’ which were delicious and was a decent size portion for two to share. We went all out and got the ‘Dirty Smokehouse BBQ Board for 2’. Definitely one of the best things we’ve ever had at a restaurant. All of the meat on the board was perfectly cooked, full of flavour (and there were a lot of flavours!) and probably would have been enough for 3-4 people! Our favourites were the spicy chicken wings and the brisket burnt ends, we’ll definitely be coming back for more of those!We didn’t order pudding as we were stuffed but to both our surprises, the lovely lady came out with a little birthday treat which wasn’t planned at all, it was a fabulous end to an amazing meal and very thoughtful.We spent a bit more than we usually would BUT because it was for a special occasion and everything was spot on, we didn’t mind at all and was 100% happy to pay the optional service charge as well. We can’t wait to go back again! Thank you!

Brilliant food, atmosphere, and staff. I went with my neighbour. We ordered the variety platter to share, as well as some fries. Service was super.Staff was very friendly and attentive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us useful recommendations. One trouble I had was having to ask for sauce a few times. They asked when they served our food if we wanted any, and while I appreciate the offer, I don't see why a small bowl of sauce would take so long!The food was excellent. It's a meat eater's paradise. Big portions and lots of variety. The share platter offered a good variety of meats, tastes, and textures. I definitely recommend it.I enjoyed the atmosphere. It was modern with both an American and Korean twist. Personally, I thought the volume of the music was a little loud, and the Japanese anime playing on the large screens was a bit jarring. Overall, though, I liked the atmosphere. The modern feeling and the American-Korean blend were great.

It's an interesting concept and it totally works. The food isn't bad, it's just a bit of a let down as it feels overpriced. The portions are on the small side for what you pay, we shared a starter and had two mains - it just tipped the £50 mark!Also, while it is ok, it isn't really hitting those punchy Korean flavours and the BBQ option wasn't quite there either. It feels as if they nullify each other slightly.That said, is it fun? Absolutely. Is it different? Definitely.The food isn't bad, it just has the potential to be so much more and on this visit, it just missed the mark, but I would go back and I'd be willing to try other items on the menu.

We went for a family meal, birthday treat. The restaurant was very clean and bright, but due to the time of the meal, there wasn't many customers and so hence the lower atmosphere stars. Parking was good, and the restaurant was only a short walk.The food was very nice and tasty, the service was really good. Over all I think the price was fair, that being said, certain things were a little bit over priced, hence 4 star rating. The 12% gratuity isn't to bad, but you don't have to pay it if you don't want to. Works out to be about £2 each, so we paid it. The staff were very pleasent and accommodating. The presentation of a couple of small brownies and a happy birthday message was a nice touch.Would I go again? Yes. Would I take family and friends? Yes.Well done to the restaurant and its staff, and a thank you.

I LOVE the food here which is why it will always score highly with me.The only reason why I can’t give 5 stars is because we, along with several other guests who were separate parties to us, had to wait over 5 minutes at the door until someone came over to seat us. Several waitresses and barmen looked at us and continued serving etc. without saying a word which was disappointing. Even if it’s not your job directly to greet people, it would be polite to say “Hello” and “Someone will be with you as soon as possible”. I know it’s just a job, and you don’t have to be super enthusiastic, but being moody and staring at customers will set them off on a bad start.

Went here with a party of six. Food was great, especially the Bangkok chicken wings and the Oreo milkshake. The staff were very nice but could’ve been a bit more attentive as we had to get up twice to ask for water and coke.The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with both American and Korean decorations. Maybe a tad bit expensive but worth it for special occasions.Only downside was the 12.5% service charge which we weren’t expecting.Will definitely be visiting again.

Food was divine, service was fantastic and I loved the vibe of the place. You can expect to spend a little bit of money but was well worth it. The smokehouse bbq board in particular was incredible

First time there didn't really know what to expect, glad we didn't have any lunch, came out full as an egg ...Staff very friendly and went through the menu with us . Drinks very reasonably priced.Will be going back again..

Had a Saturday lunch here at a very nice trendy new place on the Canterbury Riverside. Pre booked only to be told no booking even when I had the reservation email. Big open restaurant with a nice trendy vibe unfortunately that's where it ends. A sharing platter for four people £120? And £10 a milkshake? Then a service charge added to the bill at £18? Not quite sure if this is worth it and probably won't be visiting again anytime soon, such a shame
