Absolut zu empfehlen! Wir haben hier zum ersten Mal koreanisches Essen ausprobiert und waren überwältigt. Eines der besten Restaurant Besuche in meinem ganzen Leben! Was ich sehr empfehlen kann: als Vorspeise TTEOKKOCHI und als Hauptgang YAKI UDON AU BULGOGI - richtiger Umami-Geschmack!!

Craving for the chicken katsu for a long time & I've been told by my brother that there's a good chicken katsu restaurant near the Guy-Concordia Metro. Tried to give it a go 2 days ago & the server told us that it was full for 3 person & I need to book or wait 45 minutes almost one hour. Decided to went back yesterday & make a reservation. The place is okay & still has a big room to walk around comfortably. I ordered a curry chicken katsu with the other orders. The chicken katsu menu also comes with the soup for free & it's enough to fill our stomach since the waiting for the food to come out is long, but it was worth it. The chicken katsu is really good. The brown sauce is really good when paired with the whole meal. The cheese katsu is creamy, delicious & the representation is unique. Overall it's worth it to make a reservation & wait a little bit long for the food.
