Ordering Strategy

Order a mix of starters like the fried chicken and pancakes to share, then split a main rice or noodle dish.

What to order

Safe first

Yang Yum Chicken

Medium size Korean crispy fried chicken in a sticky gochichang sauce that is so decadent that 'fingers are required' and you'll need plenty of kitchen paper.

Hungry

Prawn Bokkumbap

A substantial spicy stir-fried rice with king prawns that keeps 'giving little surprises like the odd tasty spice and sometimes a hot burst of chili.'

Wildcard

Nasu Dengaku

A 'sweet and sticky' miso-topped aubergine that the reviewer claimed they would 'eat every day.'

Wildcard

Nigori Creme De Sake

An unusual drink choice described as a 'Sake flavoured Baileys' with notes of melon, marshmallow, and vanilla ice cream.

What to skip

Skip
GimIt is described as the same 'sort of packet seaweed that we buy from the Chinese shop... or from Tesco,' making it less of a unique restaurant specialty.
