Honestly... this is my first experience to eat Korean Food in Turkey, but before.. i used to travel a lot and South Korea was one of destination i have been through. I have tried so many nice foods and drinks there, somehow i have found this restaurant coincidentally from google because i missed one of the food which quite often appear in Korean Drama, Tteokbokki. Make long story short, i have found this place and the taste was so satisfying ... the authenticity is 9 out of 10 ( i rarely give 10 for everything ☺️🤭 ).

If you're staying in the center and craving Korean food that isn't bibimbap/tteokbokki/gimbap/ramyeon, this restaurant isn't worth...
Read moreHuge disappointment. This is not even close to Korean food!!! Considering the high reviews, we directly ordered the menu 1 for 830 tl, and it was a huge MISTAKE. We were met with store-bought noodles!!! and with tteokbokki that barely had a decent sauce. The kimbap was edible, but again, I, myself, made way better Korean food!! We were so excited as the restaurant is even listed in 'Independent Turkey', but we felt paid 1030 tl for nothing. We would gladly pay if it was delicious. But this. No....
