A fantastic Korean restaurant that is most fancy and very great service in Brisbane. All the food was cooked by friendly waiters in front of us. Beef quality is so good, reasonable price. Also all vegetable was so fresh and staffs explain how to eat and what sauce is good what meat! That was great time I am looking forward to going back

Fantastic Korean restaurant! Very contemporary with excellent choice of Korean dishes. The service is extremely attentive and makes you feel welcome. Everything we tried was prepared well and tastes deliciously. We know most of the Korean restaurants in town and this one is outstanding. Highly recommended, even for vegetarians! Good for families, business meetings and romantic dinners. The best part: Despite the great food and modern atmosphere the priced were super low. We shared five dishes and only paid $64!

I would say they do the most genuine Korean food in Brissy out of many Korean restaurants. Not only the main food also the condiments coming with the food were really authentic. Vibe there was truly sophisticated as well. If you need good quality meat and atmosphere,I highly recommend this place.

Very nice dining experience. A bit overpriced although the ingredients are extra fresh. The staff is friendly and keen to explain any details and they cooked the bbq for us rather then letting us doing it. I appreciated this as the meat was cooked to perfection. If you are scared of chilly, the overall amount was quite reasonable! Located in the hearth of Fortitude Valley, easy to park nearby and very accessible.

Great quality of Korean food. Their tteokbokki is the best I've eaten in Brisbane. Soft, yet chewy rice cakes, so delicious! My favourite dish here is their beef intestines hot pot. Really done well, I hope they never take this dish out of their menu! We had their happy hour "intestine set bbq" for $60 that came with spicy soybean soup. You gotta have them with the ssam for the full experience I also love how generous they are with the ssam whether it's perilla leaves or Korean lettuce. Staff were lovely, attentive and explained the dish in detail especially for the BBQ. I especially love their house beer too, the Bluemoon white ale beer. They have an extensive drinks menu including Hallasan (Jeju) soju and Busan soju. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious, great for big groups, only wish their prices are lower but overall, I'll come back

Excited when we first walked in, great atmosphere and music. Decor is great! Friendly staff helped us out by explaining what sauces went best best with what meats. Really nice that they cook the meat for you because I probably would have burnt it. Hotpot was delicious! The wagyu wasn't as good as I expected but it was still yummy. Be prepared to pay a little more the average restaurant. Would definitely come again.

Nice Korean Restaurant. Had the pork and wagyu bbq today and it was delicious. Good and friendly service. Small portion of meat for price when compared to similar bbq around the brisbane city. Nice decoration and atmosphere. Clean and well maintained. Highly recommended.
