    Some of the most delicious Korean food we have had. We made a chance booking and we were more than surprised. The menu was varied with lots of choices and GF options for most dishes. Dishes were generous and well priced. Wait staff were engaging and friendly from the very beginning. We will definitely be back.

    Oh my. The spicy Korean chicken wings and the bao buns… incredible. Also ordered the salmon sashimi-so fresh and bursting with paired flavours.

    Our best meal here out of 5x visits. Disappointed the lamb flat noodle dish was no longer on the menu however the dishes we chose this time were delicious. Tofu tempura, beans, crab and lamb baos and chicken wings. Ginger beer was too sweet for both of us. Waiter did a great job considering he was the only one on tonight.
