Chouette petit restaurant coréen proche de la station Guy-Concordia. Le service est impeccable & la nourriture est extraordinaire! N'hésitez pas à commander plusieurs plats pour partager! Les tteokkochi sont excellents, ma découverte de la soirée. 10/10

Une expérience toute à fait exquise ! Un service irréprochable & surtout très rapide. Le donburi de boeuf est simplement une explosion culinaire, malgré ma déception sur la rupture de saumon ce soir je n'ai pas été déçue par cette incroyable découverte ! Le Katsu au curry est une merveille pour les papilles, tout ça pour un prix totalement abordable ! N'hésitez pas, foncez 😍

First I have to say I loved the food in here. Today I just picked up a pork galbi donburi for my baby's lunch. But when my baby was having it, I found a hair with the pork. It was really disgusting. Please be aware of hygiene!
