“ If you want a break from Korean cuisine, this is the place! Good authentic Japanese food, portion is good and price is reasonable. Great for a hearty meal ”
“ An amazing find, this tiny restaurant in Seoul Hongdae (off main street) has a lovely menu of Korean food at very reasonable prices. Excellent service. Very Highly recommend. In the picture I have eaten the katsu curry. ”
“ A very nice place to visit, if you love japanese cuisine. This place is also very popular among locals. We had 2 salmon dishes (normal and belly). I am a very big fan of fatty salmon slices, which made this the perfect dish for me. I assume that the slices were not extremely fresh, since it had slightly the texture of cooked salmon on a few parts, which occur if salmon was frozen over a certain amount of time. I recommend the normal part for people who prefer less fatty salmon slices. The tempura was also very crispy and delicious. Definetely worth a visit~ ”
“ The portion is a little on the lighter side but it taste amazing. The place is small but the food comes out pretty quick, I don't think the wait should be too long if there is one. You order on the tablet and there is English on there so it should be pretty easy. You pay up front on the counter when finish. ”
“ Such an inconspicuous restaurant is a great place for a tasty meal. The atmosphere in the premises and the service are at the highest level. The ordered dishes are hot, tasty and large portions. Everyone will find something tasty here and leave full. I recommend. ”
