super cute bar with a wide selection of foods! kumera pizza was my fav! would recommend! rosemary friedchickenwas very nice too wish i had a better spicy tolerance! overall the foods were all v yummy and staffs were v friendly! would recommend?

foundchickenquite spicy. if you do not enjoy or like heat i would not recommend eating here. food is quite pricey. mac n cheese was amazing but portion was small. spent a lot of money so wouldn’t recommend eating or drinking here on the regular but good for a night out. gets quite packed and hot and the air con is not that great.

tried this place for second time with bunch of work friends couple of weeks ago. the food is amazing and i would highly recommendchickenand cheese. portion sizes are great for sharing and one of hidden gems tucked behind a vending machine.

4 stars because i am not too impressed with the service. even though i made a reservation i was not told that it was only for 2 hours only. we were constantly reminded about the time limit and at one point it because quite awkward. we would have ordered more food but decided otherwise.

surely would come back again but it would be great idea to pre-notify at the time of making a reservation on the time line.

amazing food, highly recommend park belly, and rice cake, delicious, kumara pizza is interesting, cheeses lover must order! original friedchickenis bit plan, ordered an yoghurt soju was expecting mixed with yoghurt but not, bit disappointed. over all still good place to visit. will go again.

the food here is great. the friedchickenhere is so crispy and juicy. i have been to a lot of korean restaurants to try friedchickenand so far this is one of the best. the customer service here is great as well. staff are attentive and food comes out real fast even considering that they are busy and have groups!. overall i love the vibe of this place. i would definitely come again some time.

we were on the hunt for a korean place that was open late and did takeaway, which was how we stumbled upon this restaurant. first of all the portions were huge and our group of 4 struggled to finish both dishes. we ordered the tteokbokki + nanbanchickenboth of which came with some nice little sides. i love lotus chips and couldn't stop reaching for them. if you like asmr you need to take a crunchy bite into the crisp deep fried perilla leaf that's included with the tteokbokki. by far the best spicy rice cakes i've had in a while, and they were piping hot when we collected them!

hmmmm, the food tastes quite bland. but service was good. thechickenwas quite delicious but the rest was meh...

wow! this place is truly a hidden gem. i came with my partner and we tried the kimchi fried rice, kumara pizza, original friedchickenand thechickenand cheese. the kumara pizza, original friedchickenand the kimchi fried rice was amazing! i definitely recommend adding these to your order if you go. great customer service - very friendly. i recommend booking ahead of time as it gets quite busy. they have a wait list for walk in’s although that can be anywhere from 15mins - 1hr. we waited almost 2hrs to get in (miscommunication with our phone number) and got in around 11pm. however it was definitely worth the wait! the music was lit and energetic (mixture of kpop and rnb) creating a lively ambience. we can’t wait to come back and try more food from their menu.

finally got a chance to dine here! usually this place is way to busy for walk ins but we got lucky this time.

firstly love the atmosphere here really takes you out of auckland and into a very metro vibe.

our table was quite small so we wanted to order more between the two of us but our waiter suggested we only order two dishes to fit which was a bit sad. and the lighting wasn’t all that great for photos.

anyway, the food was amazing. i’d highly recommend trying the eggs here they’re absolutely delicious 11/10 😋 the rosemarychickenwas also very interesting and had a good kick to it. not the usual that you would expect from a korean restaurant but still good. we go the seafood soup which had a lovely soup base and plenty of fish cake and condiments, no spice at all but a very good seafood soup.

as beverage we got the watermelon sangria and that was really good! tastes very similar to a melona ice cream if you know what that is, definitely will be ordering that again.

loved this little joint, i’d say you definitely need to book a few days in advance as they only open from 5pm onwards. perhaps if they had an online booking system it would help, either way worth the try if you can get in! ☺️

the korean friedchickenwas good. portions were great for the price. the seasoning was a little on the bland sides but it came with a selection of sauces to help make up for it. fries were alright, nothing special, had a good seasoning on it but were really soggy from being steamed in a closed cardboard box - but thats not really a fault of the food itself. would definitely be interested in visiting in person some time.

please must try their rice cake skewers, so chewy and full of flavours. and their friedchickenwas delicious as well. the only downside of tonight was the two drinks that we had. one was strawberry and another was watermelon both tasted a bit bitter and kinda weird. otherwise, everything’s perfect.

this is a staple place to go with a bunch of friends because of their sharing portion sizes and environment. must-trys here are the rosemary or original fried chicken! we also had other dishes such as the kumara pizza which was soft, pillow-y and full of flavour, the spicy rice cakes andchickenand cheese which are all to die for. the staff are so attentive and helpful with ordering, refilling water etc. only con is that it's always a bit hot and the ambient lighting (although is moody and aesthetic), it gets hard on the eyes.

food - 5/5
ambience - 4/5
service - 5/5

we had the spicychickenand melted mozzarella cheese⁣⁣. the spicychickenitself is good but the mozzarella cheese tasted a bit weird and has a slightly almost chalky texture. it tasted like cheap supermarket bought mozzarella cheese. ⁣

we also got the original korean fried chicken. thechickenwas fried and seasoned well, golden brown and crispy on the outside. by itself it was your usual plain friedchickenwhich is good but what made it stand out was the garlic, soya sauce and honey dip on the side along with the pickled radish. the sweet plum sauce tasted a bit weird to me.

the last dish was the ramyun, we got it because my girlfriend said she wanted something soupy and i read one of the reviews here that said the ramyun was not the regular ramyun but the restaurant did something to it that made it taste really good and way better than regular ramyun. boy, that review couldn't be more off point. it was just regular ramyun with an egg and spring onions on top. probably the most expensive ramyun i've ever eaten at $9. we joked that the person who wrote the review must be high or drunk or something to think that the ramyun was way better than regular ramyun.

service was top notch even if it was busy. the waiter came and replaced the water jugs frequently, the food came out quick and the waiters were friendly and helpful.⁣

honestly 10/10 would get lit here 🤩😍 ambience and interior is really unique and aesthetic for a night bar, bathroom is too die for lol. definitely share food here, ~$16 each will get the table fed and fed well. rosemarychickenwas the star of the night, but also the bulgogi pizza was a cheesy delight with a special kumara base. will be back to try more of their surprisingly extensive menu (for a bar) and of course, more of their soju concoctions!

located in fort street, the doors of the restaurant is a vending machine so it is kinda easy to identify. it does have a fairly large dining area but it was quite packed when we were there with tables being reserved.

we had a range of different dishes and they all looked quite good. the food ranged from friedchickento a kumara pizza to nabe soup. they also had a range of different drinks, we had different flavours of the rice wines and they were alcoholic, fruity slushies. i quite liked the mango one.

really nice food and interesting drinks so it is a nice place for a meal if you can get a table.
