The food was great, the fried chicken was especially good. Our server was also good. But the restaurant has issues on how it’s managed. First off, mandatory tip. I have no problem tipping at restaurants, or with a mandatory service charge for large groups. But they specify a minimum mandatory tip for groups of any size. Second, this is the first Korean restaurant I’ve been to where they charge for side dish refills. Also, their menu price for veggie pancake was $27, whereas in other nearby similar quality Korean restaurants the price is half that. Overall the food was good, but it seems the restaurant management is more interested in nickel and dimeing rather than providing a good experience to get repeat customers. I for sure will not be coming back, there are other options nearly with a similar quality and far less problems.

Honestly I have no clue why other reviews are complaining about the service, all the workers were very sweet, fast, and polite. The food was amazing, especially a big fan of the stir frye we had I almost shed a tear eating it, portion sizes were also great. My boyfriend and I payed about 90$ for two drinks, two appetizers and the large half and half chicken platter so price wasn’t bad at all for the amount of food you get. 100000/10 would recommend, atmosphere was also beautiful!

The food was not bad but it is not authentic Korean food. I’m pretty sure the food is cooked by a Chinese person because beef bulgogi tastes more like a Chinese stir fry (I’m Chinese). Again, it’s not bad, but it is not Korean food!!! The portion is superrrrrr small, for $27 non authentic bulgogi at least you can make the portion size decent. We asked for a cup of ice for the coke and they brought us ice in a tea cup??? The cup is so small there’s no space to pour the coke in. When we paid, the waitress asked cash or card. I said card. And she questioned me with a weird attitude ‘no cash?’. If you’re trying to avoid tax at least ask me nicely or offer a cash discount. Overall the food and the vibe are weird and the restaurant is mostly empty on a Friday night.

I came here with friends a while back and the food was really good! We definitely enjoyed it! I had to order extra Candy Chicken because it was very nice! The wait wasn’t super long and the waitress serving us was very helpful and answered all our questions politely. Everything was hot, freshly cooked and worth every penny! I do recommend stopping by here!

The food was not good. It wasn't like this before. But from a recent visit, from the side dish to appetizers to our main, the food was so illed prepared. We order a couple stews that taste like water with very little flavour. The fried chicken was served with ketchup sauce. And this meal cost over $100. The only thing that remains the same is the owners enthusiastic welcome. However we were really disappointed. Not recommended. And will not return again.

Honestly one of the best places to have Korean Fried Chicken in the GTA. But let's forget about the food for a minute. Every time I have been to this restaurant the service from the owner has been above and beyond. She remembers my order, recommends other things on the menu and is just a delight overall. If I'm debating between restaurants, I usually come here just because of the service. The booths are very unique, reminiscent of being in Seoul and it's one of the only places I've been to where you can have a private meal. Candy fried chicken is nice and spicy while being tender and has an excellent taste. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone willing to try something new.

Wow!! This was the best bbq fried chicken I had in a long time. Service was good. Must try : BBQ chicken and cheese corn chicken with barbican drink. Halal option but they serve beers as well. Overall you will get a good experience. For me it is 5/5. Good Food, Good Service, Good Ambience. Would definitely recommend everyone to at least try this restaurant once.

Brought my entire class here for some Halal Korean food and left with all of them happy and craving for more. We were 13 people, we ordered 2 full baskets of half and half Korean fried chicken, candy and original chicken with fries, kimchi rice, dumplings in soup base, ramen noodles. Candy chicken is fantastic, spicy with a touch of sweet, served topped with jalapeno slics. They also serve pickled radish, coleslaw and kimchi on side. Service is amazing, and quick. Though weekends can be really busy and rushed. Love coming to this popular Halal spot in Mississauga every single time!
