hotplate beef was quite decent and the portion was filling. a tad too salty and oily for my personal preference. meal was food court standard. service was fast during weekday lunch hour.

Ordered beef cold noodles. The noodles came in room temperature. Not cold. It has kimchi and was spicy! Normally beef cold noodles are not spicy and it’s suppose to be cold. Ordered dolsot bibimbap but there are no carrots, no mushroom in it - unlike in the picture on their menu and as expected for a typical bibimbap.

Food taste good, table not cleaned properly, not enough staffs... Cashier running in and out to cook and clearing tables. Chairs are without back rest, unless sitting at seats against the wall, there's a toilet 2 shops away. Can Drinks only, hot tea are free now but not enough cups

Aiyo the food here.. I have a lot of comments. Rice was quite dry, soup very bland and the chicken didn’t have any flavours even though my image shows its slightly red in colour. The food taste a bit more towards Chinese than Korean flavours ley.. Why did aunty only give me 1 slice of kimchi :’) and the anchovies so little macam what I feed to my pet cockatiels at home. The price was decently priced but haiyo I take the money buy a jar of kimchi also more worth it

Ordered Abalone COLD noodles - HORRIBLE & NASTY!!! Noodles or the soup no where near cold or chilled. Served at room temperature. How is that cold noodles???!!! YUCKS! 🤢 Egg comes with egg shell… and I don’t remember this dish has kimchi inside…. Ice very expensive? Just put a few cubes of ice will do. Why so stingy? THE FREE BARLEY TEA TASTE MUCH BETTER THAN THE COLD NOODLES!!!!! Don’t waste your money and emotions…..

I like the Korean beef porridge and it is very filling, do not taste a lot of msg in it as with porridge I find in some places. The army stew seafood set is for 2 people and it comes with 2 rice and 2 hot tea. You can change the 2 rice for noodles if you want to. There are some prawns, hot dogs, crab sticks, clams, glass noodles and vegetables in the stew. Food is okay and lady at the counter is polite. Only bad is that we (and probably the rest of the customers as well) can hear loud clanging of pots, pans and dishes from the kitchen from time to time, and that really makes us think if the people working inside are a bunch of very unhappy people.

Just revised from 5 star to 1. Waitress took wrong order, refused to rectify and lied to us. Terrible service, won’t be back!

Idk how is it not closed yet. The meat is simply impossible to chew. Rice is like a paste (cooked with way too much water). I've seen reviews with insects in the meals - I wish I saw them before ordering. Leaving without finishing even 10% - impossible to eat.

The Chinese lady/cashier who could not speak a word in English and with awful attitude, if you are a staff, boss please fire her because she is not doing the justice for the stall and if you are the owner of the business please close the stall because you don't deserve to be in F&B service business. I wanted to eat at this place with my mom and we were looking at the menu (entrance) and she was sitting there with her earphone on and murmured something in Mandarin Chinese. Then we said we don't understand Mandarin and she just repeated the same sentence in Mandarin with a black face. She obviously didnot want customer to come (maybe sick of her work) in her attitude. I said what's wrong with your attitude and then she did a body gesture that really pissed me off.

They really shouldn't be in business in this state. "Doenjang jjigae" was basically eggdrop soup with meat and cabbage and a smidge of miso. No banchan unless you shame them, and even then customers get replies like "no kimchi with kimchi jjigae"! Tubs of kimchi stored at clearly incorrect temperatures out in the kitchen (Hello, NEA?!), so not having it may actually be a blessing after all. Terrible food, even worse attitudes.

This restaurant puts up its signboard for Korean cuisine Ordered a Tofu Bean Paste Soup they advertised (1st pic) What came out was pic 2 : a China style mix mash -- miso soup base (that's Japanese) with eggs, cabbage and meat slices meant for their bbq dish (instead of minced meat) — an entirely different soup with wrong ingredients and taste. See for yourself

Mixed feelings about this place. Food court prices, and we enjoyed the food - Kim Chee noodles, cold noodles (beef), hot stone bibimbab, and gyoza. Unlike a previous post, the cold noodles was served cold. Also I’m not sure if the red oil in the soup was chili or from the Kim Chee they added. Anyway I didn’t find it at all spicy and quite enjoyed the refreshing dish. Just don’t wear a white shirt unless you’re really careful to avoid splattering the soup onto your shirt 😅 What we didn’t like was the service. The lady taking our order was rather rude and unfriendly. It was good that we didn’t have to wait too long for the food to be served.

Slice beef nicely cooked, good portion for big eater like me. A bit noisy as staffs keep on calling loud for numbers of ready food due to self collection. Will try other cuisine next time.
