I believe the owner is not Korean but it doesn’t matter as it’s still the best BBQ and by far the best service. It’s small and there were only 2 people working in the restaurant when we were there. The lady offered lemongrass water to the people waiting for their takeaway, which I think incredible as it would never happen in London. We ordered kimchi and she topped up the plates whenever we finished, which again never happens in London. The beef was very tender and flavoured that my son finished 2 plates. We also got given 3 big coconut biscuits for dessert that my son had all without sharing any to poor old mum and dad. Voted best thing to do in Edinburgh by my son (well, he is only 12) and best kimchi by me. It’s definitely my family’s favourite.
We noticed this new Korean BBQ restaurant while out walking and decided to try it out. So glad we did, wonderfully friendly staff, super healthy tasty food, reasonable costs helped by the fact that they don't yet serve alcohol but you can bring your own. Enjoyed cooking our own BBQ food at the table once we had had an initial demo from our waitress. We highly recommend and will visit again soon.
Was taken here for a Father’s Day meal, really impressed with the quality of food and service. Food was tasty and I enjoyed cooking it on the hot plate and building the lettuce wraps with all the flavoursome bits and bobs. Small on the inside but we went as a family of six and we were comfortable. Parking may be difficult on weekdays however, on a Sunday afternoon we parked up with no issues. Highly recommend
On the Easter Sunday, after visiting On 13th May 2024, I visited this restaurant for our lunch with my wife. All staff were very kind as usual. All curtains were also very good. We enjoyed very much. Thank you. Stockbridge Market, we visited this Korean Style BBQ for our lunch. The BBQ was so good. Therefore I forgot to take Photos of BBQ. Maybe, I will take photos next visit. The staff lady was very kind. The restaurant was so comfortable. Looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you!
My friends and I went here for dinner. There was a sweet lady who just as we sat there looking through the menu was already filling us some water. She was so lovely and the food was as great as se was. She also gave us some candies when the bill came up. Me and my friends really recommend this place so, if you happen to visit Edinburgh you most definitely have to come to this place to eat!! (Also you can most definitely take away the food you haven’t finished yet so you can enjoy it whenever) Here are some photos of some of the food we ordered
We have been following the refurbishment of this place with great expectation, and I can say that I'm not dissapointed, it was worth it the waiting. Absolutely delicious food, the bbq is an experience itself!, the lady serving us was super kind, offering her advice and asking if we need more lettuce or drinks. I'm sure will repeat soon, and I can say it is totally recommendable. We pay 55GBP in total for a 3-people meal with drinks, good quality meat, and delicious sides. Gorgeous!
I have to endorse this Korean restaurant with my PhD student status at the University of Edinburgh again. I never imagined in Edinburgh I can have Jab Chae and tteok bok gi with fish cake...and they are so authentic. Because I’m Chinese from the north, their Jab Chae here tastes exactly the same as what I ever had in my childhood...so delicious as if I was back in east Asia right now.... tteok bok gi with fish cake is so rare in Edinburgh’s Korean restaurants as well. You have to order these two here as you won’t find them in other Edinburgh’s Korean restaurants. The spicy squid with veggies taste also great, recommended. The only problem is the kimchi pancake is all burnt and turns bitter all the way..a bit down but overall a good restaurant.
Great little place. The decor is basic but the food was delicious and the staff were really friendly. It’s BYOB so my brother-in-law and I brought in some beers and had a great meal. I will be back for sure!
