"Myself and husband were in Cheltenham for a short break and on our first night we decided to go for Korean food. After a short but very wet and cold walk from the parking we were really ready to have some decent hot food. We arrived around 6.30pm on a Monday evening without booking and the restaurant was already at least half full which must mean something. The menu was fairly extensive so we certainly had a lot to chose from including Korean BBQ. In the end we decided upon 3 starters and 2 mains. The service was very friendly and reasonably fast. We did ask for everything to come at the same time as I like to have a variety all at once, however, the starters came plate by plate quite soon whereas the mains took a bit more time. Instead of waiting for the mains we started on the starters so they wouldn't go cold. The food was pretty good, in particular the stir fried pak choi was amazing, cook perfectly with lot of garlic. The sweet Korean chicken wings were also pretty decent, we both enjoyed them. The Tteokbokki with cheese was for me a bit underwhelming (I thought they were gonna be covered in cheese) but husband loved them. Then I had the Kimchi Jjigae which was fabulous, I loved the deep flavours with extra chilis and lots of vegetables. I think that pork belly bits were not needed. All in all we enjoyed a lovely meal and have no regrets. It was a wonderful little restaurant with good service and even a little treat at the end which I really appreciated. If we lived closer we certainly would be visiting again as a treat to try other dishes. Prices were also reasonable and we left EXTREMELY full. Maybe less is more. Thank you to the restaurant staff."
