I remember eating at this place a few years back and really loving the delicious kimchi fried rice with creamy prawns so I had been really looking forward to my meal here today. Place was quite busy when I walked in... waited patiently to be served... however the waitstaff ends up leading the person who was in line behind me to a table first! When I raised my hand to ask, I was cut short and told to wait further. After waiting another couple of minutes or so, she tells me to just go to any table (I'm not sure why I wasn't told that in the first place as the table had been ready the whole time). She comes around to my table and then proceeds to lay down a napkin and some utensils right on top of a wet spot which results in the napkin becoming saturated. When my order came I noticed it looked a bit different from the last time I had the same dish here and was surprised by how small the 4 pieces of prawns on the dish were and how diluted the creamy garlic sauce was compared to previous (you can clearly see the difference from the photos below --- the watery sauce has drained to the bottom of the plate on this occasion while the thicker sauce in the previous version remained pretty evenly distributed over the entire dish). The taste was still decent but the quality and presentation is no longer like what it used to be. This dish cost $21 not including the extra Labour Day public holiday surcharge which is fair enough, but I feel I could have gotten a much better meal and experience elsewhere for the same price. This place will probably still remain popular enough because of the decent servings they have for some of their other dishes but there are now a lot of new Korean restaurants/eateries in the CBD that will be competing for attention. Sadly, I don't think I will consider returning to this place ever again.

An interesting one for me. What they lack in flavor they compensate in portion size. The portions are just humongous so it's really nice when you have a large group of people eating with you. Just makes it more fun. Ventilation is a bit bad so you end up smelling like the frying pan when you get out. But don't let that stop you. Order the fried chicken with tteotbokki; sweet, crispy, spicy goodness.

Come here every so often because of the huge portion sizes. Great for a massive feed. Ordered a spicy chicken sizzling plate for 2 people. As you can see it is massive. We asked the chefs to try so.e rice in later and they gave us a cute heart dish back. Best to go during quiet to.es as staff really go extra mile for you :)

Absolutely awful! I ordered kimchi friend rice and was given a cup of fried rice that was completely swimming in a horrible cream sauce. All I could taste was the cream sauce and none of the kimchi fried rice. Not to mention the price which was absolutely ridiculous! There is so many korean places in the cbd that do this dish a lot better and for half the price and 2-3 times the amount of food.

We went to this place cuz we were craving for dakgalbi and not all the korean restaurants have this dish in their menu. So we order dakgalbi x 2. I like that in the menu there is the list of toppings you can add to the basic ones. I ordered a beef bulgogi donburi too. Prices are reasonable. Portions are big enough. And it was delicious! Staff is nice and service was fast.
