This place is a joke !! So me and my friend decided to go to this place on a Friday evening for a snack after witnessing the hype this place has garnered(ordered Korean spicy veg noodles) despite people in our close circle red-flagging the place. It was then that I realized all the time I didn’t listen to the people to whom I should’ve heeded (I’m sorry folks). P.S. It’s never have been/will be my intention ever to write an annulling review, just that I kind of do not feel good about normalizing being served something, that it’s not supposed to be. So let me break it down, the Korean spicy veg noodles incorporates boiled noodles+korean spicy sauce+fries & corn+kimchi+veggies+mocktail, let’s just skip talking about boiled noodles and the fries, let’s start with the thing which is called the Korean spicy sauce “Apparently”, honestly speaking it was just an over dominating spicy tomato sauce and guess what originally there is absolutely no room for tomatoes in this sauce; moving on to kimchi, Lol such horseplay, oh wait did I just call it kimchi, I’m so sorry, let me rightly call it unfermented cabbage, me and it playing a little game of hide and seek around the noodles, unfortunately, I lost, me-0 unfermented cabbage -1; coming to the fries, just 5 fries on the top of the noodles, isn’t it tiring to count 5 fries each time?; at least I’m happy I had no issues with the mocktail except for the fact it was not a pleasant experience drinking the mocktail from the straw that was surrounded by the noodles, wish they provide a slightly longer straw. Talking about the pricing of the food, the Korean spicy veg noodle cost us Rs.250, definitely overpriced and unreasonable but then going through their menu, seeing loaded fries also cost Rs.250, was over the odds but again I spotted the kimchi(oops! sorry unfermented cabbage) momo tower and wing towers also costs Rs.250 each, Is 250 supposed to be a lucky number in Korea? Summarizing my overall experience, I felt like I had a spicy tomato-dominated red sauce Spaghetti, mixed with some cabbage pieces topped with a few fries and veggies served in a fancy bowl with a mocktail attached to it. THIS IS NOT HOW KOREAN NOODLES SHOULD TASTE LIKE; THIS IS NOT KIMCHI; It is not my intention to come hard at this place rather I’m just exhibiting my disappointing experience, It’ll be really nice if these issues are noticed by the stakeholders and at least some affirmative actions are taken in the right direction. Hoping for a day to rewrite this review! Cheers, and Have...

Read moreThis place introduced the sip n eat concept in chennai . Fries / noodles/ wings on top while holding it with a mojito of our choice in the bottom 🤷🏻♂️
The concept was good and different but taste is more important than that 😔
Kim chi is nothing but tossing of veggies in some spl korean sauce and adding them to the dishes 😌
Many people said that is too good to try 🤦🏻♂️ We tried honey chilli fries with red Valentine mojito and kim chi noodles with green mojito 😐
Both were below average in my opinion 😔 Honey chilli fries was tossed in honey and chilli was put separately i guess 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ It was only sweet and fries was so big . We couldnt finish the whole thing .
Kim chi noodles on the other hand 😐 very very bad , noodles wasnt cooked properly, no flavour...it was blunt 🤧
Both mojitos were good and usual
We even saw many people throwing away the food completely 🤐 They keep it the foot path and leave 🥲
They charge 250 for one dish 😪 Too much for quality and taste of food🤦🏻♂️
One over hyped spot with different concept of sip n eat...
