   Can’t fault the service, we arrived almost an hr before our booking time, but only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. Table service was quick and efficient, the food was excellent . All seasoned in a way I wouldn’t know how, delicious. Very reasonably priced and will certainly recommend. The reason I’m not giving 5 stars is small but important . The loos were not very clean , I can see there is work being done (no urinals currently in the gents), but lots of dust visible which ideally could have been cleaned. I asked to use a loo after our meal whilst waiting for a cab upstairs and was told by staff that there wasn’t one and I’d have to go downstairs . I later found out there is a disability loo upstairs . I would think given that I’m a pensioner, the limited facilities downstairs and no signal to keep track of our cab, I could have been directed to the upstairs cubicle This doesn’t take away from the dining experience , but did make a difference between perfect and not quite perfect

   Went to the restaurant or for Valentine’s and the all the ingredients are already fresh and it was great fun to cook on the table. The flavours were amazing and we both had enjoyed this is one of the best meals we’ve had in a very long time we would highly recommend.

   This was my first Japanese BBQ restaurant in London and it will be hard to beat, no complaints at all. Food was very good, service was excellent and very affordable

   The food was great, but the service and overall experience were lacking. The KBBQ had a limited selection, and the server was unfamiliar with common Korean dishes like tteokbokki. Service was slow, with missing table settings and drinks, and the staff struggled with clear communication. Orders were incomplete, and dishes arrived not in order with long wait times between them ( meat, rice, lettuce, starters then soup). Imagine finishing the meat and then rice arrives and nearly finishing that and lettuce for your meat finally arrives, servers weren't attentive but nice.

   Thank you for your feedback, we will share your note with the team and try to work on some of the points you have mentioned. Our staff might not be knowledgeable on tteokbokki as that is a Korean dish after all while we are a Japanese BBQ Restaurant. I apologise for the inattentiveness of our service and hope this doesn't put you off from visiting our restaurant. We will endeavour to improve.

    Great food, friendly staff. Not a problem for me but could be for others, had to wait a little while for the bill and to pay the bill. Other than that fantastic service! Went for my partners birthday and they surprised them with a little cake (not planned or asked for by me), which was a really nice touch.
