It was a very weird experience from the get go. I ordered some food for takeaway and they didn't even understand what I was ordering. I had to point out in the menu for them to understand what it was... The food they packaged was spilling out of the container and the bag was destroyed by the time I got it. I ordered tteokbokki and the chicken stew... The chicken stew just tasted like frozen chicken that was sitting in the freezer for a while and just added in to water with salt and pepper. The tteokbokki was just rice cakes with spicy water... This this by far the worst Korean food I have ever had in my whole life... This place used to be a good spot in Takapuna but it is now by far the worst Korean food place I have ever tried in my life.

Food: always top quality Korean food with a very generous portion. Service: the owner and staffs working there are super friendly. Location: super convenient next to the carpark. My favourite Korean restaurant in Auckland.

Authentic Korean Feast in Takapuna! We tried Budae Jjigae (Army Stew)β Packed with spam, rice cakes, kimchi, and instant noodles in a rich, mildly spicy broth. The noodles soaking up the flavors were the highlight! Crispy Fried Chicken β Perfectly crunchy outside, juicy inside, with zero dryness. A solid contender for North Shoreβs best! Arrived to a full house (always a good sign!) but waited only briefly. The lively vibe matched the generous portionsβgreat for groups!

Went to this spot after a friend recommended it. We tried a few soups. they were a bit bland at first. You definitely need to add salt (which they provide on the side), so at least you can season it to your own taste. Out of everything, the spicy beef soup stood out. Super flavorful and comforting. Also tried the boneless chicken. It was quick, nicely done, and tasted good β just wish the portion wasnβt so small!

It was busy when we reached there but food was served quick. Plenty of dishes to choose from and they were tasty.

Awesome shop. The speed at which food comes out from the kitchen despite the shop being packed. Great speed, on top of quality taste. The price was also reasonable. Would definitely visit again in the future.

Come here if you are for amazing Korean food on the Shore. Everything that I tried was pretty good but the dishes that I recommend is the bibimbap and definitely their fried chicken. Fried chicken was super crispy and juicy. Follow my IG for a indepth food review of this place: kiwi_friedchicken

Customer service is quite good, the staffs are helpfull. The good part in Korean restaurant is you can get as much as entry for free. :) Family friendly too. The taste is okay not that great as i been to other Korean restaurants. Not for the second time visit. Price is reasonable for the portion. We bought 4 main dishes for 5 people to 83$.

Rated top 50 cheap eats and Korean restaurant, but it is somewhat average. My kimchi stew was wayy too overloaded with super soggy cabbage. The side dishes were alright but the cheese corn was pretty good ! service was super friendly!
