Very nice with delicate flavours and great value for a 95 SEK lunch!

Heard that from local people this is the only restaurant in Stockholm has Karaōke. If you like to sing and eat, here is a good choice. This restaurant serves three different types of buffets. The first one is the regular buffet which serves with pre-​cooked food. Second one is Chinese style hot pot, and you can pick your own meat, seafood, veggies, and others un-​cooked from the serving table, and cook them at your dining table in a boiling pot. The third one is Korean style BBQ which you have to order the meat, seafood, veggies, and then the waitress will bring them to you and you cook them on your own grill.
We chose to have hotpot here since the weather was very cold. I really think that the food is good because they all fresh, it’s easily to tell just by the colors. Also, the service was good too, waiters and waitress were nice to us. In addition, the price was fair. I had a very good experience here.

I was really looking forward to a Korean barbecue in Stockholm but this was a disappointment. I’ve had Korean food and barbecue in Seoul and New York and I’m a real fan! This place is newly opened (I think) and I used a Groupon code for Korean barbecue dinner including a glass of sparkling wine and dessert.
It wasn’t many guests there and we were pretty early so we got good attention from the staff. When the sparkling wine came in it tasted like pear cider. Nothing to be happy about. I even doubt there was much alcohol in it? There were no starters like the small plates with various side dishes you usually get in Korea. When the meat came in it was fresh, well presented and everything looked good. It also included a fair assortment of vegetables to be grilled, a bit to «Swedish» but ok.
The meat itself tasted ok, but I was really disappointed realizing there were nothing more to it. Just meat, white rice and soy sauce. Where were all the fantastic flavors from the Korean kitchen? All the condiments with chili, garlic, bean paste, onions, scallion, leek, bean sprouts, ginger? And the various leaves to put the meat and condiments in? Nothing!
We ordered a separate kimchi dish, wich was just a bowl of fermented Chinese cabbage. At that point I didn’t expect all the assorted variations of kimchi you always finds in Korea. The kimchi was ok and added some of chili flavor to the dinner.
The dessert was a sad plate with three small cubes of vanilla ice-​cream with fruit or ginger (there it was, the ginger!). The fruit assortment was an uninspired small pile of apple and orange. No love whatsoever added to that plate… The ginger in syrup however was a perfect addition to the ice-​cream.
No, I will not go back.
