One of the best Korean restaurants I have ever been to. The bibimbap and sweet & spicy chicken were so good! Serivce was top notch.

I absolutely love this place. My favourite food is kimchi rice. I highly recommend it.

The lady (probably the owner) is very mean. I came towards the closing to dine and asked them explicitly if they can properly serve and won’t be in hurry they said yes we can and will. But as soon as I order (firstly as I was new to the cuisine, they tried upselling which I don’t mind) but as soon as they gave me the food the lady owner asked the waitress to ask us to hurry and say that we are closing. And that’s exactly what I asked before getting seated.

The food was below standard, too oily and soggy. Service was bad too.

Wouldn’t recommend at all. The food as well as the owner’s behaviour both weren’t something you would wanna pay for.

I've been going here since they were at their old location in uptown Waterloo, and I must say I'm really disappointed to see them going down in terms of the serving size. Food is well made, but tell me why I'm barely getting 12 pieces of small chicken that can't even fill half the take out box?? (I did not eat anything yet, using the chopsticks for size comparison) This is NOT worth the nearly $30 I paid.
Last time I sat there to eat lunch in person, they had the back door open for ventilation, and there was a fly buzzing around.

I’ve been here many times but today I had the dolsot bibimbap and after going home I had a bad stomach ache which lead to throwing up! Would not recommend!

Taste delicious and the service is very good as well.
Only downfall would be the portions are quite small compared to the price you’re paying.
I wish the portions were more. Because the price you pay should match what you’re getting.
