    Fork’s discount was applied. Food was of reasonable price and right portion. I would say, dishes were tasty but not surprisingly good. In short, worth a try !

    We have been many times before and given a high rating. This time there was no banchan, the chicken was tough, and the pajeon was slightly undercooked. There weren't enough teacups so we had our tea in coffee cups. Not impressed, and sadly there are other restaurants which are similar in price and more reliable in quality. We won't go out of our way to visit again.

    Booked a table for 2 before going to Shepherds Bush. Empire, as only a few mins away. Turned out to be ideal, service nice, food great and arrived quickly too.

    Food is not authentic Korean food. They advertised their buddaejiggae as the chef special. The broth came out so disappointing. No flavour to the broth and no variety in the protein. Also there should be using napa cabbage, the choice for bakchoi is a big sign they are not doing things properly. Seafood pancake is poor too, they skimp on the seafood and battered is too thick. You need the sides to be thin and crispy but I end up getting served a gooey and sloppy mess. Yes it is cheaper than Korean restaurant in zone 1 London but it is not a bargain. Be warned.

    The food and services were great. When we checked our receipt after we left not sure why 20% discount was only applied to 4 of the 5 dishes we ordered from the la carte menu. Also it stated a discretionary graduity of 12.5% but 13% was actually applied.

    Nice quiet ambiance, service attentive and professional. Food clean and presentable. The galbi-tang could do with longer slow cook to add more flavour to the soup.

    The range of food was good even though it doesn’t offer Korean table top barbecue. The trouble came when I noticed how much water I was drinking and quickly realised that there was high MSG content in the food and I was constantly drinking water and going to the toilet to flush out the MSG that was present in the food all night long while I also developed a low level headache alongside other family members. Shame for the chef to not have enough confidence in the food quality and had to resort to MSG.

    Great food, and good value. Radish side dish especially delicious. A perfect venue for a pre Shepherds Bush Empire gig meal.

    Superb! Fried chicken in sweet soy was excellent, as was the Beef Bulgogi Bimbibap. On the list for next time I'm in Shepherds Bush.

    Third time going to this restaurant with my oartner and his 2 teenage children - restaurant was requested by his son! The food was excellent, even better than last time. Very good service and friendly staff. Food arrived quite quickly and was hot and tasty. We had spicy edamame, chicken dumplings, beef bibimbap, teriyaki salmon, pork bao buns, egg fried rice and sweet chilli fried chicken. We ate it all! We will definitely be going back next time they come to visit!!!!

    Seafood pancake was absolutely amazing. Service was fine too staff were very friendly But the atmosphere in the restaurant wasn’t very Korean, music was all oldies western songs and also fried chicken was very mediocre

    The food was good but it will be nice if they brought them out in stages rather than all in one go. The starters and mains arrived almost in the same time so a little overwhelming!

    The spicy seafood stew is a big disappointment. It's not a stew. Just hot water and some chilli added into it. It also didn't have an egg as described in the menu. Also had to remind the waitress to serve water. Quite disappointing.

    Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback, very much appreciated, however we do not sell a sea food stew, but a soup. Kind regards Silvia

    Friendly staff and good range of dishes. The food is lacking - this is the second time i come eat her and it is the second time i am disappointed. The veggie dumplings and the rice cakes were great; but the rest was bland and oily.

    This restaurant provides some super but simple food. My party each had the spicy pork bibimbap which they thoroughly enjoyed. We were well looked after - Maya, our waitress, was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

    Very nice restaurant serving Japanese styled food. Staff were young and very helpful The food came as and when it was ready which did mean that we had several dishes at the same time so did eat a bit too quickly! All in all a nice experience and would recommend.
