Updated for vegan food. Been here since it opened, always amazing. NOTE, they're becoming increasingly popular, recommend to book for dinner, you never know when it'll be busy. Has a good number of vegan options, once I've tried: - KFC, Korean fried cauliflower Must try! The crispiness. - Yasai ten don Tempura rice bowl, they make really good tempura! - Soon dobu jjigae (ask for vegan) Spicy street with soft tofu now available as vegan option! - Mapo tofu donburi Fried on the outside, soft tofu in the middle, spicy tangy sauce, all on top of rice. Perfect rice dish. - Chapjae (ask for vegan) Simple noodle dish, hearty, my favourite. - Tteobokki (ask for vegan) Great starter, not sure what's not vegan with the original.

It’s Korean and Japanese. Can it be any good at both? Thankfully the answer is yes. The portions and quality are amazing. Nicely authentic and whilst the restaurant is small that’s the only downside I can think of. Pricing is also decent given the way many other restaurants continue to put up prices, this feels a bit like pre 2019 again.

Oh my, we were lucky to get a table here without reservation as we stumbled across this place walking past. Thank the lord we didn'thead for some average pub grub. The food here is DELICIOUS. Every single dish was perfectly flavoured, tasty and exceptional value. I wanted to eat every dish but my stomach said otherwise. I wish I lived closer, but maybe that's a good thing as I'd want every meal here.
