5 /5 Csaba Péter: The place is absolutely amazing giving korean feeling when you are inside, a nice clean restaurant with delicious Asian foods with superb tasting, cannot have any complaints about the food, place or staff. And as an extra you can really be a chef and do your meat or vegetables as you prefer as tables have their own grill possibilities. Everyone is very polite and waiting time is nothing compared to what you are getting. Please try and decide yourself.

3 /5 Emil Tam: We chose BBQ in the restaurant which means that the foods were raw as we did the cooking part ourselves. To be honest the pork and beef were marinated too sweet while the squids lacked the kind of freshness that one would hope for. As for the environment the space between tables by the wall is too narrow to comfortably host two rows of chairs back to back. I am not sure how guests managed to squeeze in. In general the food and environment are left to be desired. Service is the up side, however. The staff were passionate about serving, in particular the lady in charge whose customer service was truly remarkable.

2 /5 Andy Watts: The food wasn’t bad but… the service, as other reviews have mentioned, was abysmal. We visited at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. Upstairs was closed and downstairs was half empty, probably about 6 tables had people sat at them. * The only waitress working took the best part of 10 minutes to seat us at a table. I have no idea what she was doing as she wandered leisurely around the restaurant. * When I say she “sat us at the table”, I mean after the 10 minute wait she pointed at the table and walked off. * we ordered one pint of beer and one Diet Coke. The beer tasted flat and watery, the Diet Coke took another inexplicable 10 minutes to arrive. * when the food came, the waitress whispered to us what the dishes were and wandered off. As the meat comes raw and you cook it yourself at the table, a few hints and tips on the best way to cook the meat would have been appreciated. * there was nobody sat at the table next to us but it was covered in the dirty dishes of the previous people who had eaten there - the dirty table was left uncleared for the duration of most of our meal. * at no point did the waitress come to our table or any of the other tables to ask if the food was ok or if we wanted anything else such as more drinks. * there were two other guys working there who we saw a few times but I have no idea what they were doing, it certainly wasn’t helping the waitress. * we asked for the service charge to be removed from the bill, which it was, but there was absolutely zero questioning as to why, it was almost as if it happens all the time and so was expected and not to be queried. * the floor along the corridor and into the toilets was the stickiest floor I’ve ever known, it was disgusting. The concept of the restaurant is great, but the execution is laughable. I have no idea how this has become a chain of restaurants when the basics are performed so badly. You couldn’t pay me to return. The highlight of the meal was the robot waiter which carried the plates to the table and was by far and away the hardest working employee in the building.

4 /5 Nicholas Moutia: Had a nice meal here for my sons birthday. Kimchi fried rice was great, pork belly was good and ribeye steak was tender. But the real stand out was the ttukbabgi bulgogi beef stew. Fried chicken wings where tasty too.
