"A warm and quiet place having the birthday dinner with family. The food is delicious especially the Yum Yum Chicken. The portion of the dishes are relatively small probably can accommodate women’s appetite only. Overall the food was delicious and the service was great. Definitely will go again."

The food was hot and tasty and we will definitely be back! Such a lovely tiny place! Lots of parking and so easy to find"

"The best Korean restaurant in cardiff. (another one is not authentic)Far from city center, with a B&B hotel. The owner is Korean. The typical fried chicken and bibimbap are very yummy. BBQ meat is quite good but serving is small. Enough for me and my bf, if you eat a lot you have to order more. The food is not cheap here. We came here twice and we will back!"

"What a great find! I have driven past this hidden gem many times but tonight had the opportunity to visit. It is a quirky place with a distinctly Korean vibe and a handful of tables - most of which were full. I’m not surprised! The food was wonderful - particularly the homemade kimchi - so flavoursome and tangy. The service was friendly, quickly and the food delicious and piping hot! Great selection for vegetarians. I would definitely go back."

"Our first time eating Korean, will not be our last. Everything was piping hot and freshly cooked to order, the food comes out at a steady pace just enough time for you to eat one dish, enjoy it untill the next one arrives. Cooking your own food on the bbq is a great social way to eat the dipping sauce cut through the fattyness of the pork perfectly the steak melted in your mouth, the yum-yum chicken was blood YUMMY!!!! the Bi Pin Bop (i think thats what its called) was a revelation, it arrives in a piping hot stone bowl with its acompaniments and a raw egg yolk on top, you mix it all together and the heat in the bowl cooks the yolk, genius. If you want pretentious and poncy dont go here, if you want FANTASTIC traditional food, this is for you. If i could give this place 10 stars, i would."
