★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We cleaned the plate.
The kimchi is very authentic tasting, and the small mains are delicious albeit a bit on the pricier side for the portion size. The presentation is top notch and the waffle fries were very crunchy and delicious though there are not vegan.
There are tons of vegan options but be sure to ask for vegan on items on the menu marked with “Veo”.
The venue is incredible however. The street sign does not lie when they mention a secret garden. If you managed to reserve a seat in the garden or somehow stumbled into the restaurant outside of peak hours you might be surprised to find an option to be seated in a beautiful oasis (and a small bar if you are into that) in the middle of the city.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here for dinner as returning diners. The dinner menu is not extensive. It does offer a selection of "small plates", which is the size of a standard adult main meal, then the large plates are more designed for sharing. We had the kimchi fried rice and the 2 way chicken plate, both of which were delicious. Prices are good considering its central city dining. The restaurant was also kept tidy and clean, with service being very prompt.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First Table:
If you dine with FT, you will be sat at the cafeteria area, despite the fact the back (which is gorgeous) was completely empty. But part of their T&Cs.
Yuzuonade was nice, not too sweet. Kimchi trio was great. I would say the highlight. Mainly the White Kimchi.
Ordered Korean BBQ Feast, which could easily feed 2-3 people..
Instead of waffle cut fries, we got potato wedges (which tasted like made from frozen packaged). Meat was OK. The chicken had just a bit of marinade on the top. Prawns were delicious. Pork was nice. But overall lack of flavours except a sauce you get on the side which is a bit hard to pour, if you clumsy like me.. Haha.
Green salad was just regular dry mesclun leaves without anything on it.
For Korean fusion I was expecting big strong flavours..

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Come to the CBD shopping. The storefront is simple, sophisticated, and clean, with a garden at the back, well worth backyard dining. Randomly walked into this shop and was surprised to see that I like spaghetti with squid ink sauce, and it really tastes good.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good food. Kimchi flavour was mild in dishes to cater for people who are new to kimchi, however they do sell it as a side. Menu variety is on the lower side so hard to justify multiple visits if you’ve tried everything. Service was good, the staff were friendly. The restaurant actually opens up to a courtyard kinda thing if you walk to the end, and clean modern bathrooms. Had this as a first table, can’t go wrong with those prices. Would recommend the bao buns (though chicken ones were a bit dry), calamari, kimchi fries and rice. Personally would avoid eggplant - it was a bit flavourless but I think that’s just me.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A nice boutique Korean fusion restaurant in the middle of city, clean and tidy. Great food. Children friendly or a great place for small gathering with friends or families. Highly recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely worth a visit to try something new. The chef is doing a really good job. The other staff seemed a bit indifferent in my opinion. I believe some friendly touch/attention would make it a 5 star experience for me.
Otherwise, the atmosphere is very nice, thanks for the effort to make it look lovely and cozy.
