Excellent service and amazing eating that is well presented and full of taste. woul recommend

I enjoyed chicken noodles, glazed noodles with seafood and 2 kim chee. I drank a Korean beer. I usually go there on my mobility scooter and sit inside or have a takeaway. today I had a deliveroo in my nursing home. still hot and...delicious

I was tempted to try this restaurant because it always looks busy when I walk by. When we were seated, the person serving drew our attention to the comment at the bottom of the menu warning us that dishes may not arrive at the same...time or in the expected order. Also that there may be a delay as they were busy. We were in no hurry and I have eaten in plenty of restaurants where dishes come as they are prepared. I am OK with this. What I wasn't prepared for was an extremely long wait between the first dish and accompaniments. How long does it take to put kimchi on a plate? The reality is that the restaurant is badly organised. Food is served to different tables at random and the lengthy waits leaves you with an extremely uncomfortable experience. When you politely query, the response is that it is coming. It appears to me that their response to complaints and bad reviews is to print a caveat on their menu. That doesn't help with delivering an extremely poor dinning experience. The menu prices are expensive, the service is mediocre and the flavours are unimpressive. I will not be returning.

Drop everything you do and go to soy. I wanted to visit this restaurant for a long time, but had never started when kovid happened. Anyway, we finally made it and it was the best decision about it. there were 5 of us; 3...Adults and 2 children. we ordered noodles, meeressed noodles, fried rice, sorted knuckoo vegetables and some hn and bark for the bbq. meeress noodles where it goes well, like the noodles. the rinderbulgogi for the grill was the best meat I have ever tested. it tasted literally in a mouthful but very tasteful at the same time. we order 2 more, because we couldn't eat it anymore. we will definitely try something new again and order some more of this delicious bark.

Quality food ok service slow and bad . among staffed. the personal looks really under pressure. the summer to order food does not work, even after pressing several times no one has got up. ordered food that was never served, but it appeared. the bill. while we waited for the food, the manager comes to ask if we're done, and suggests leaving the table. If you pointed out that we are waiting for food to be served, he said that he will review and come back what has never happened after we waited for 30 odd minutes, we decided to leave.
