    Disappointed with the food. We ordered japchae, haemul pajeon, kalbi and bulgogi. Japchae and pajeon was served cold. Japchae was a bit bland nothing much special. Pajeon was too thick and not well cooked inside. Feel like the meat not that fresh and marination was bland.

    Delicious and fresh food. Loads of dynamic flavours. The waitress was so helpful and diligent to me and my wife. Helped us with optimising how to use the grill and very friendly. Facilities were very clean too. Best of all Halal. Parking available just a short walk away.

    Alright food, alright service. They add in a service charge of 12.5% without even asking (and without asking if it's ok, without informing you etc.).

    We ordered kfc chicken, flavour was good, only thing to mention, it was too much oil. Another food was soba noodles, oil quantity can be less. Avarage the flavours was good. Toilet wasn't clean enough. Food served in 5 minutes. Ordered rice too, they forget to serve, we not been charged for this. Size of chicken (6) big portions.

    Very poor portion of veg with the meat we ordered. One tiny tiny tiny tiny pot of sauce to share with our 200Gbp worth of meat. Furthermore this is not an authentic place with real Korean style and taste; for instance no alcohol or ice tea is being served. Kimchi taste wrong. Meat seem to come out of the freezer and taste very bland. No ice with my Coke. I would not recommend this place.

    It was ok. No alcohol was served. It's not a typical Korean with Halal meat served. I Never thought Koreans were particular about halal meats.

    Loved it, food was delicious. Service was a little disappointing, staff seemed disinterested and there were times when we wanted to request something but there was nobody around for a while. Will definitely visit again though.

    Unable to review food here as I was called 45mins before my booking arrival time and was told restaurant is closed and I could be rebooked at canary wharf. I was already in the cab on my way and had to change destinations which cost more. This was for my son's birthday and that was very annoying. Food at canary wharf was very but don't no if I will return. I understand things happen but more notice would have been appreciated if possible.

    I've been here twice now and both times the service has been outstanding. Everyone is kind and attentive. The food is always fresh and is consistently excellent. It's the best kept secret in London.
