What Customers Say

"Decent Korean restaurant. I would give it 3.5 stars but I round it up for the friendly staff and nice place. I had a Bibimbap which was fine, nothing exceptional and for GBP 9.50 there wasn't much meat and I didn't like that the egg was completely cooked."

"It's a little gem of a place, hidden down a side street, just across the road from Aldgate East Station (take the Whitechapel Gallery exit), and cross over the road into White Church Lane and it's at the other end, just before you hit Commercial Road. It's an open kitchen so you can see and smell the cooking wafting into the small eating area and out of the door. The delicious smells are wafting out even as you approach it. The restaurant is small and is laid out on two levels, the upper level is for tables of twos and the ground level are tables for four. Everything sounds good on the menu and you just want to eat everything off it. We chose the Kimchi Pancakes, the original KFC (Korean Fried Chicken!), a plate of BBQ Beef, and a bowl of steamed rice. All freshly prepared and well presented. However, the KFC is not as crispy as it should be as it was not double deep fried, but nevertheless, with the spicy sweet sauce, it still tastes absolutely scrummy. The pancake with the kimchi cabbage, egg and onions, is a very tasty Korean omelette. The BBQ beef was not as hot and sizzling as it should be, but the sweet flavours are good. All in all, a very relaxed and cosy atmosphere, tables are quite close together so you could strike up a conversation with the tables next to you quite easily, and end up making new friends!"

"This little simple Korean restaurant caught my eye because it was crowded for dinner. I came in for lunch today and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the bulgogi lunch special on top of noodles and a side order of chicken dumplings. Fast, efficient service and solid food. I added more chilli sauce (more sweet chilli than hot) to the food and the flavors were good. On a small side street, it certainly is authentic Korean in London."

"I was looking for a halal Korean bbq place and finally found in london. We ordered chicken and beef along with chicken bibinbob and fried rice. I liked the concept as u cook the meat urself on hot plate and is served with lettuce and pepper, garlic and couple of sauces. It was my first time so I wasn't very sure how to eat it but in the end we figured it out meat was well seasoned and fresh off course . Place was very busy and table was given to us only for hour and half and we had to rush as meat needs to be cooked at the table. We were walk ins so we thought they are trying to accommodate us but when we were checking out another family who had reservations were told the same that table will be given only for hour and a half. Over all experience was good. I might go again with friends but don't see myself going just for the food."
