“My boyfriend and I absolutely love the taste of their yang yum red chicken! I've only been to a Korean BBQ so to find something like this small place in Waterloo is perfect. I original came for the kimbap but fell in love with the chicken and bulgolgi bao sandwich. Highly recommend the yang yum meal set because it comes with so much and the japchae noodles are delicious!“

“I came across this lovely place on my Ubereats trip.
I couldn’t wait to try it out myself and finally today was the day.🥰
First, I have to give recognition to the kind, friendly women working here. They really are so attentive and welcoming to you!
Today I tried the Veggie Kimbap and ham and cheese sandwich.
It was so freshly made and especially the Kimbap was packed with veggies and so colourful. I loved it and I felt healthier afterwards. It is very filling as well.
I also enjoyed the presentation of the food in its packaging which makes you have an even more satisfying experience and appetite.

I will definitely visit often.

Thank you for such a wonderful experience and meal 🥰🙏“

“This Korean Restaurant located near University of Waterloo, they had a good korean food such as Crispy Korean Chicken with different glazed from Spicy Sweet Sauce, Honey BBQ, Honey Garlic, Soy Garlic etc, I specificaly like the Honey BBQ one, we also try the Fire Chicken, a spicy stir fry chicken with vegetables. This one good for those who like spicier dish.🔥🔥👍 we also love the condiment that comes free such as pickled turnip and carrot, kimchee, glazed sweet potato and I think pickled fish cake with cabbage.
I just didnt quite like the kimchee pancake. Too thick and didnt quite like the taste. The restaurant can be very busy during lunch time even on weekend.“

“Ordered the rice cakes with ramen and seasoned fried chicken. We asked for less spicy and the rice cakes came watery… still tasted good but diluted. Fried chicken was BOMB, gochujangy sweet and saucy.

The lady who served us was very sweet and attentive.“

“Staff was friendly and patient when helping me out. It was my first time there. Service was quick.“

“I love these Korean hotdogs they are so amazing!

I always get half mozzarella half beef with potatoes and it tastes amazing. There’s no seating inside the store but there are tables outside where you can sit during the summer time.“
