Amazing experience. It was our first time having Korean BBQ and the woman serving us was so kind and helpful. She served us quickly and efficiently despite the restaurant being quite busy. Would definitely come here again. I think I will try the hotpot next time!

A really great authentic Korean restaurant serving all the classics like fried chicken, pancakes, bibimbap, hotpot, BBQ, and more! there's a decent vegetarian and vegan option. Super friendly and attentive staff. They were busy but never forgot about us. The portion size is fairly decent so the starters are not your usual starter size! However it is still fairly pricey for 1 or 2 people. It would be better to come with a few more and do family style as the dishes are designed to be shared.

My only complaint was that the food was so good, I ate too much and now need to lie down. The Korean fried chicken was the best chicken I've ever had. Crispy and coated with this unique sauce that they make themselves. Its slightly sour, sweet and spicy. The hotpot with seafood was superb. It comes with this delicious kimchi broth which is spicy, but not too spicy. There's different kinds of sausage in there which I was apprehensive about at first, but thoroughly enjoyed. There's also muscles, whole prawns some pieces of squid, vegetables and noodles. As it's a hot pot you can take your time eating it which is a great experience. We had a medium hotpot between two people and struggled to finish it. Be aware that the portions are HUGE, and as well as noodles it comes with a side of rice. I'm glad we got the chicken as it was delicious, however it was not needed alongside another main. The service was quick, polite and attentive. Will absolutely come again!

The staff is the most helpful and friendly I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend Seasoned sweet chilli fried chicken and Spicy Soft Tofu Stew with pork served with steamed rice It’s the most authentic and delicious Korean restaurant in Brighton.

It has quickly become my favourite Friday evening joint. Depending upon your spice tolerance, you can request the staff to amp up or down the flavors. My fav is the kimchi Ramen and the Korean Soju (a vodka like but better drink). It's a busy place so booking a place during the weekend maybe a good idea. Edit - May 2024 - I tried a new dish today. The beef bimbaap and I am deeply impressed. I met the chef and passed my gratitude. But the best person in all of this is Mayu, my server. She is a delight, so kind and patient with her servers, especially me. Totally come in here for the food AND the people.

The best Korean food I’ve had in the UK! Service is fast, the food is delicious, served in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Portions are generous and I almost always take home leftovers. The staff are kind and attentive. Must try in Brighton!
