“Such a great Korean restaurant! I ordered the spicy braised fish and my daughter had the pork bone soup — both were super tasty. The place is clean and has a nice, simple vibe. The staff are always kind, and the prices are very reasonable.”

“I don’t normally like kimchi as it tastes sour to me, but not in this restaurant. I LOVE their fresh kimchi here! This was my 3rd visit and all dishes that I tried were all tasty. Customer service was also good, very friendly staff. This resto becomes one of my fav Korean restaurant here in Chch!”
