Just discovered this gem! Glad to have two great options for Korean! Very busy and get there early as the line quickly develops!

We stumbled in, as the other Korean restaurant I was wanting to go to was closed. Lucky us, because this place did not disappoint. I haven’t had lots of Korean food before, so wasn’t sure what to expect exactly. They were full, but offered us one table by the counter. The service was very friendly, but slow, however, we weren’t in a hurry so didn’t mind. Not long after being seated we received some small dishes, one with peppered bean sprouts, one with a picked radish and the other some potatoes. All were so tasty and a nice complimentary starter!
We started with the kimchi omelet, which was unbelievably delicious! Very good flavor and texture, I could eat one every day. I ordered the raw fish salad for my main and my partner got a beef noodle dish. My salad had fish that was very tasty and fresh, with a mix of veggies and a very nice spicy sauce on the side with rice included in the salad. I really enjoyed it and it wasn’t too heavy as I feel my stomach can think with Chinese. My partner really enjoyed his broth and noodles, which also came with a side of rice. I can’t fault the food in any way.
All in all a delicious meal and I will certainly go back to try more! It is also BYO, so that will be happening next time. A very casual, homey place to enjoy a good bite!

Finally got to try this place over the weekend and to quote an old movie, «can you just be whelmed?» Because that’s what the experience was.
The service was friendly but quite slow though the place was only half full. The décor is minimal and furniture looks like it’s from everyone’s favourite flat pack box store.
My friend and I got a large kimchi jigae to share and it’s kept warm on an electric hot plate which although great to keep the soup hot, completely dominated the table which made eating seem really cramped. The dish itself was tasty enough but didn’t blow me away.
The small side dishes were potato, bean sprouts and cucumber. All pickled or glazed as per usual Korean fare.
This is the third restaurant on the street serving Korean food and they’ll need to up their game to become my top choice.
