Tried this restaurant for the first time recently. The food was excellent and we didn't wait long at all for it. The service was very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be returning soon! I hope they create a dessert menu as well.

Amazing Korean Restaurant in Norwich! The food selection is great and the food is lovely, we all loved our food and shared dishes between us. The food is also really well priced, I don't find many restaurants at this price anymore. The staff were lovely as well, if we had questions on food they were happy to explain and answer. Would definitely recommend booking in advance though as the space is small with limited seating.

I went here with my dad as we'd been meaning to go to this place for a while. And we were both very glad that we finally did! The food was absolutely amazing, amd very good value for money. They also had a good selection of tea's and drinks, which were quite different. I will definitely be coming back again, and I couldn't recommend it enough!

Wonderful place. The food is top notch everytime. We recently shared some Kimchi, the large glazed KFC, pork mando and prawn fritter with a Seoul tapas. This was more than enough for two of us, but because it was so tasty we just about managed it .

Excellent Korean food. We tried Kimchi-jeon, Dol-Sol with mushrooms, Just KFC and Beef glass noodles. Staffs are nice and helpful. Highly recommended and please book in advance to avoid disappointment.

I stopped by for a quick lunch and was so impressed! The staff were absolutely lovely, and even though the toppoki was out of stock, I tried the Bulgogi pot and it was amazing. Full of flavor and I loved the glass noodle inside. I’ll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!
