EST Bento - KŌ

Really lovely and casual restaurant serving delicious Korean and Japanese dishes. Recently reopened so offers a clean, fresh, uncluttered setting with small and large tables and a very welcome atmosphere. My wife and I thouroughly enjoyed our food which transported us back to our holiday in Japan. Spoke a bit with the owner who was obviously passionate about offering authentic cuisine and flavours sourcing as much as possible from Asia. Will definitely eat here again, hopefully in the evening to enjoy the large garden area out back. NOTE: this location is slightly wrong as the resaurant is located slightly further up Rue Auguste Babet

Authentic and lovingly prepared food, with vegetarian and even vegan options (advertised on the outside menu but not actively offered or specifically mentioned in the main menu). Cosy setup with an attentive service. Meals are freshly prepared and yummy. The proprietors speak English, are very friendly and communicative with a broad background that brought them to found this great and diverse restaurant along with a sister restaurant (Korean) in town. We had the opportunity to talk to the chef personally, it is refreshing to see such a true and passionate food professional. Definitely coming back! Addendum: We returned a week after and they even recognised us as vegetarians and offered their daily veggie specialties actively. Plus another half star :-)

very friendly staff as well as a nice and open owner. we felt very comfortable and the food was very tasty. we can recommend the restaurant to everyone.

Cool concept and great food. For the high quality and portion size of the food you’re getting, the prices are pretty fair. I’d go back for sure.

Great Japanese food. Well executed. Service pretty slow (30min+ to get the food)

We ordered a Ramen and Korean Fried Chicken rice dish, both of which were nice. The yuzu iced tea, made on-site, was very refreshing. The restaurant offers a more modern take on some traditional dishes, with a mix of Japanese ramen (opposed to Korean Ramyun), and Korean rice dishes. A little on the pricey side, but worth a trip. The restaurant doesn't provide table service and you order at the counter with a buzzer system to collect your dishes. The staff are accommodating and the venue is spacious and nicely decorated.

Excellent

Great Japanese dishes. Make sure you make a reservation.
