Our third visit to this relatively new restaurant, which justifiably is becoming more popular. Food has always been excellent, with much attention paid to using high quality ingredients. Staff are very professional and friendly. Menu is very attractive and covers a wide variety of East Asian cuisine, comparable to genuine dishes, and not Anglicised like many Chinese and Japanese restaurants.

A warm welcome on arrival - # top tip book first as it does get busy. Wide ranging menu of delights to suit most budgets. Good mention to the delicate serving of hot Sake. You dont feel rushed and the staff are really helpful.

Food was so incredible that we booked another sitting for the next evening! We were on a weekend trip to Portsmouth and really fancied Korean chicken- well we got a lot more than that! The first day we had Korean chicken (sweet n spicy), unagi nigiri, cheese tteobokki and the second day we had the army stew, unagi nigiri and spicy pork gimbap! Soooooo good! Knocked a point of because it took over an hour to get our food the first day- second day was much quicker! Would deffo be back!

A warm welcome on arrival. Service was gentle and not overbearing. Staff were friendly and obliging helping accommodate our dietary needs. I had hot sake which was served beautifully and complimented a very well prepared Korean meal

The food is so fresh, and that’s why you might wait a bit but thoroughly worth it.

Everything was great but my only negative comment would be that starters and mains were served too close together making our meal feel rushed

This is an amazing place to come and eat. Every time we have visited, the food has been delicious and the service attentive but not overbearing. It is great value for money and we will continue to visit as it is one of our favourite places to eat in Portsmouth.

As a hospitality service, my online pre-booking didn’t feel very welcomed as guests. As Asians-the expectation of Korean Fried Chicken failed to meet expectations, it was tender, flavoursome & well-marinated, but it’s not been fried to crunch before mixing with the sauce. Sweet potatoe fries wasn’t particularly hot either. The pancake was an anticlimax too. Ingredients were good enough but the execution was rather poor. Not fried long enough & some mid-section was doughty & just a bit undercooked. Japchae was nice & happy to have it again. Shame my food experience is unexpected to be below average, I would have loved to be memorable, excited to share with my friends, colleagues & family in Southsea. It would be great value for money if the food was cooked better. The services needs clear delegation- 3 or 4 in kitchen to cook, 3xfront of house> 1x assign for drinks + help with clearing table efficiently;1x overall service/ meet & greet; 1x take food order & sort out bills. Chaotic

Everything was lovely from the welcome to when we left. The food was amazing, so tasty and obviously cooked fresh. The portion sizes are very generous and the prices are reasonable. Would definitely go again, so glad we booked after reading reviews.

First visit, waiter was prompt, attentive and helpful. We ordered some starters and mains, beers and a tea. Reasonable price and we enjoyed our visit. Lots of room in the restaurant for a mid week visit, probably we didn't need to book! The restaurant was really busy with takeouts as well.

What a find! ... service and food were excellent, really couldn't fault either. It will certainly be on my 'return to' list and won't be waiting too long to do so either. There were six of us who ate from their very reasonably priced special lunch menu today and we were all very satisfied! Next time it will likely be an evening visit where the menu is more extensive - can't wait!
