This restaurant offers a great menu with a wide variety of options. We ordered a selection of stews, including beef stew, pork bone stew, and tofu and beef stew. Each dish was served piping hot, with rich, bold flavors and a satisfying kick that made every bite mouthwatering. The broth was well-balanced, deeply flavorful, and absolutely delicious. One of the best Korean restaurants in the city!

One of my go-to Korean spots in the CBD for a quick and satisfying lunch. Even when dining alone, they serve a generous set of 6 side dishes — and what’s great is that they change them up every time, so it never gets boring. The restaurant is usually quiet during lunchtime, which means no queues and a relaxed atmosphere — perfect for a short lunch break. The lunch menu offers good variety and is quite affordable, with plenty of options under $25. A nice bonus: complimentary cinnamon tea and lollies at the end. Great value and a pleasant experience every time!

This hidden retreat has really delicious sides that get refilled for free! The waiter was very attentive to our needs, offering aprons when he saw our light coloured clothes. The other guests seemed to be enjoying their kbbq, although we got cheese rice cakes and beef tofu stew. Both delicious and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and location. 5 stars all round. 6 for service.

I live out of town, but whenever I crave Korean BBQ, this place is always my top pick! They didn't have a buffet before, but now that they do, I get to enjoy it at a great price. Definitely worth

The ginseng chicken, fried chicken were great. Seafood pancake a bit oily and Tteokbokki a bit hard. Overall we enjoyed the lunch/afternoon tea and would come back again.

A hidden gem for meat lovers! They serve both grilled meat and hotpot, with excellent meat quality and flavors that are rich yet refreshing. The place can be a little hard to find, but it’s so worth it once you dine here. Enjoying the meal with friends makes the experience even more delightful. Highly recommended for a cozy and satisfying food adventure!

We tried the all-you-can-eat option with a 20% discount, and it was worth it! There were so many food choices — plenty of meats, side dishes to enjoy. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and quick to respond whenever we needed something. Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience. Would happily come back again!
