Ordering Strategy

Portions are scaled for quality rather than bulk; share a Seafood Pancake and Fried Chicken as starters, then order individual stews or the Volcano Rice.

What to order

Safe first

Korean Fried Chicken

Celebrated for being crisped to sheer indulgence without the 'grease-soaked regret' often found in lesser establishments.

Hungry

Tofu and Seafood Stew

Described as hearty, soul-soothing, and 'indecently hot,' this dish arrives in perfectly scaled portions that leave diners spirited and satisfied.

Wildcard

Kimchi Volcano Rice

A hearty, cheesy fried rice dish that pairs well with hotpot or stands alone as a filling main.

Wildcard

Seafood Pancake

Lauded as one of the few in London that is thick and crispy rather than greasy.

What to skip

Skip
Plain Tofu DishesWhile the seafood stew version is soul-soothing, inconsistent quality has been reported with some standalone vegetarian tofu options lacking flavour.

Good to know

The restaurant is closed on Sundays and takes a break between lunch and dinner service (3 PM - 5:30 PM). It is notably quiet and calm, making it better for conversation than a rowdy party.
