    We chose this place to celebrate my daughter turning 16 and she loves Korean food and this was fun, unique and easy. We chose the meat BBQ to grill and each type we chose was delicious. It was also close to the Elizabeth Line so could get straight home on national rail to Bedford. It would suit familiies, non-drinkers and people who appreciate Korean food or anything East Asian. Great for a night out with friends and is very sociable. It was very filling for 2 adults and a teen so we didn't try dessert but maybe next time! Being halal is also great! Thanks for making my daughter's 16th memorable.

    The portions were very large and food was tasty. Service was fantastic. My only issue was that the chicken was rather fatty. We were disappointed that coffee wasn’t served after the meal. Maybe it’s not traditional but we like it!

    Disappointed with the food. We ordered japchae, haemul pajeon, kalbi and bulgogi. Japchae and pajeon was served cold. Japchae was a bit bland nothing much special. Pajeon was too thick and not well cooked inside. Feel like the meat not that fresh and marination was bland.

    Delicious and fresh food. Loads of dynamic flavours. The waitress was so helpful and diligent to me and my wife. Helped us with optimising how to use the grill and very friendly. Facilities were very clean too. Best of all Halal. Parking available just a short walk away.

Toilet wasn't clean enough. Food served in 5 minutes. Ordered rice too, they forget to serve, we not been charged for this. Size of chicken (6) big portions.

    Alright food, alright service. They add in a service charge of 12.5% without even asking (and without asking if it's ok, without informing you etc.).

    Very poor portion of veg with the meat we ordered. One tiny tiny tiny tiny pot of sauce to share with our 200Gbp worth of meat. Furthermore this is not an authentic place with real Korean style and taste; for instance no alcohol or ice tea is being served. Kimchi taste wrong. Meat seem to come out of the freezer and taste very bland. No ice with my Coke. I would not recommend this place.
