    It was a bit more expensive than we expected. We should have checked the rates first, but the experience and the taste were definitely worth it. We may go again.

    Not bad overall, the food was of an ok, standard, not the best, but not the worst, with portions being reasonable, but not generous. The veg that came with the BBQ was pretty lacking, with 3 slices of courgetti, 3 slices of sweet potato (that never cooked) and some mushrooms. Definitely not authentic Korean BBQ and for that the prices are on the steep side. Staff were polite and not overbearing, it wasn't noisy and the restaurant was clean and presentable. An ok dining experience, but a bit pricey for what you actually get. If you're looking for authentic experience, this isn't it, I did not have a bad time, but I wouldn't rush back or really recommend it. They also don't seem to serve alcohol.

    Great food, well instructed but definitely would return, just feel service charge shouldn’t be more then 10%. Depending on the meal

    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!
