I went with 4 friends and we ordered a lot of food to share. The waitress was very kind to give us a slightly bigger portion of dessert as we only ordered one pannacotta; we were so full from all the savouries. The food and service are excellent. Highly recommend!

Last time I went here was over a year ago, but I was sad on this recent visit to realise they no longer have the salmon on the menu. The veggie options were unsuitable for me, so it was dearly missed! But the soju cocktails are great value and the meat lovers I attended with thoroughly enjoyed.
