The plates and cutlery were dirty, and the ingredients were not very fresh. Some dishes were undercooked, making it even more dangerous. I believe it is not a very safe place to eat. In addition, the restaurant is understaffed, you couldn't get any service at all. Anything we asked, the answer was, "We don't have it" or "We can't do it".

I wonder if it is illegal to impose a minimum charge but not have it mentioned on the shopfront nor menu? So for those who plan to visit, there is a $15 minimum charge. The BBQ and hotpot dishes are fantastic. The kimchi was rather disappointing and they seemed a little stingy in giving them out. Next to us was a table of 2 sharing a serve of kimchi, but we were 8 and we ponder why were limited to 2 serves. We also ponder why pasta has been introduced as a kimchi item. Anyway, BBQ hotplates and hotpots remain our favourites as well as their jap chae noodles.

We love kimchi. The barbecue stir-fries are amazing. Not to pricey, but usually packed. We go there all the time.

Foods is fairly good, went with 4 other people, and we all left full. At a reasonable price. Downside was they did get my booking for a table at the wrong time, but they did accommodate us.

Delicious and lightening fast. The seafood pancake and the rice cakes were fab as were tofu entree and dumplings. We ate like pigs and it was dirt cheap. $100 for 4 of us including drinks. We'll be back.

The seafood pancake was delish and so was the tofu dish (I can't remember its name?!). The boys enjoyed the bulgogi immensely! The service was pretty poor with our kim chi not coming out at all after we ordered. This was remedied about 20 minutes later mid way through our meal, after a word to one of the staff.

It's been 5 years since I last eaten here, but I remembered the food is really good. As for service I never expect a good service from Asian restaurant ( I'm asian myself) so I don't really remember what the service like. I love the bulgogi and I think it's best one I had so far.

We have eaten here many times and find it consistent. The food is of a high standard. Only limiting factor, menu is quite small.

A terrible restaurant with terrible food. Also the service is awful, having been brushed off by the waitress numberous times, and actually having to go to the counter to amend an order after calling the waitress for 5 minutes. Curiously the counter was just 3 meters from our table and yet the waitress failed to come. But on to the most important aspect - the food. The food just tastes bland. This place caters to western tastes and have lost all of its roots in flavour. It's not Korean.
