I did like their interesting wall decor. The tables are arranged a little tight but ok. Moving in and out is fairly easy. The staffs are friendly and tries their best to accommodate our request. But language barrier is a real issue with lots of them. End up a little stressed at times as chicken and duck cannot communicate well. ?
As for the BBQ, they will cook it for you if they are not busy and they cook it quite well. Well seasoned and delicious, enjoyable when wrapped with the fresh greens. The 5 side dishes are ok but the onion and cucumber is subpar. Free refills as expected.
The kimchi ramen is quite generous and the spice packs a punch as expected. The soya bean paste soup was also well made. A little salty but overall the taste was yummy and the soup has a nice body to it. The best thing is both came boiling hot. Perfect for those that like tongue burning soup.
The pancake however was however quite disappointing. The centre of the pancake still had this undercooked powdery pockets. And the edges lacked the crispy crunch I enjoy. Probably needs a bit more time on the pan.
All in all, not a bad place but few improvements will make it better.
I like this place because it’s very airy. The good air movement reduces the residual smell you get on your clothes after eating. Tables are also spaced out well. The decor however could be much improved. Overall, looks lazy.
Coming to the food, the bean paste stew is superb and a must try. Comes boiling hot. Nice balanced taste. The egg roll with cheese is well seasoned and the kimchi fried rice quite delicious.
The seafood pancake however is quite disappointing. I can count the minimal kesian looking ‘seafood’ pieces with one hand and the taste of the pancake is subpar. The grilled octopus and meat I shouldn’t comment as we are supposed to do it ourselves but I asked them to do it. It was done a bit over and came out dry
Drinks are delicious though and the staff attentive and helpful.
very friendly owners and service staff. attentive and timely top up of side dishes. awesome food, value for money. will give it another visit!
Food was incredible and staff were super friendly but of a language barrier as we only speak English but they tried very hard to make sure we had a great experience ! And oh so much food !
Had the buffet dinner. Value for money. Ambiance was good. But there was no exhaust hood where we were seated so it was quite warm and smokey. Good thing is was well ventilated.
All I can say that the foods are great and soju always cheering up the spirit.
