   Avoid. Rude, poor service and disorganised. There are far better Korean restaurants.

   The food was very good and the wait staff kind and attentive. This is an excellent addition to the Newington Green/Green Lanes dining options. We will be coming again soon.

   Really excellent midweek lunch deal. We all really appreciated the beautiful styling of the restaurant too. Delicious KFC and KFT and the kimchi pancake was a joy!Will be returning.

   We had a mixed experience On arrival I was told that my small, foldable bike was not welcome ( though generally is in offices, pubs, restaurants). This felt over the top I was told that my partner could eat one of the dishes ( she is coeliac ) so we ordered that one. The dish that was brought was highly different to the one ordered ( we were not told that it would be) and was basically a plate of rice, rather than one that was on the menu My dish was tasty and good value The waitress did her best to apologise and offered us a small discount Personally, I found the music on the loud and intrusive side ( though I may be in the minority here)

   We walked in on Friday without a table. They said they had no space even though I could see 5 empty tables. They said you could only get a table via booking. So I went outside and booked a table via the open table app. Then walked back in and they then seated me. They said they needed the table back by 9:30 which was fine as it was 8:15. They told us they had no KFC. So after 15 minutes when no one had taken out order we asked if we could order. After a further 30’minutes I asked a waitress if she knew how much longer. Which she replied ‘ how much longer for what?’ Another waitress then apologised and said it would be 5 more minutes but it turns out she never put out order ok to begin with so it was an additional 15 mins. Eventually 45 minutes after we ordered the food came but it was cold. So the waitress kindly took it away and said the food would be 15 minutes. Which it was. So approximately an hour after we arrived we were able to eat. The food was average but maybe that’s because of what we ordered. 9:30 cake and went and the restaurant was silent other than 2 other tables so it turns out they didn’t need the table back at 9:30 like they told us when we arrived. The waitress gave us a full price bill and I asked her if she could give us a discount as the service wasn’t great. She wouldn’t look at me but only my husband. Even though I tried to speak to her numerous times. They offered to take more money from the bill which was much appreciated. It’s a shame because this place had great reviews and was recommended to us by a friend. Maybe we were just unfortunate as 2 other guests we were sat by seemed to have a great time. It was meant to be a nice meal out for a special occasion but it was unfortunately not a great night as we were very hangry for most of it.
