Reviews
Best restaurant in Oslo. The food is creative and delicious, not too spicy--just right! Quality Norwegian ingredients get upgraded with a Korean twist. The wine pairings are spectacular. We eat here every time we are in town. Not to be missed!
One of my favorite dining experiences ever. The staff were so friendly and inviting and the food was so well balanced and delicious. Beautiful presentation and very well paced meal. Can’t wait for their next seasonal menu!
I had many friends who recommended me this place, by even telling me that it was their favorite restaurant in Oslo. So I had high expectations.
Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s the best experience I had in town, but I also believe that maybe it was just an unlucky night. The food was a mix of very good dishes (the appetizer was superb!) and some were a bit tasteless or missing of salt. The kimchi and spicy dishes were maybe a little bit too spicy for a standard palate. The ice cream had a weird consistency, and I was expecting a more “Korean” dessert.
But the wine pairing is very interesting, original and spot on on most of the dishes. We booked a table at 5pm and everything seemed a bit too rushed since the next service was going to be at 8pm. So I suggest to reserve at 8pm instead to have a more relaxing dinner.
Overall the “Autumn 2022” menu was a bit disappointing but I still had a good experience. Maybe I will come back and try the next menus since my friends are still telling me to give it an another chance.
This was not as good as it should have been
One course out of the six we had was delicious (the tuna tartar). Other than that the food was actually pretty boring, with the worst being the noodle soup that tasted old cow. So not worth the bucks at all
Amazing people, amazing service, amazing food! Octopus was the softest and tastiest I have ever had! Lamb was full of flavor and the spicy salad (not kimchi, but another one) that was served with it: OMG! Last of all, BURGER! Not an actual burger, yet tastier than all other burgers. Will definitely be back for the spring menu :)
The dishes were uneven. The last 3 dishes were their weaknesses. The burger - mung bean patty - didnt taste much, the duck bulgogi style was a little bit too salty and the sidedishes were not good. They gave us some lettuce and fresh kimchi kinda like - dont know the name - but it lack of taste. It kinda destroyed the good flavour of the duck when you wrapped this into a roll. And the last dish was cheese cake with som korean ingrediens. For me it tasted almost like a regular cheesecake. Kinda disappointed that the chef didnt come up with some more typical koraen dessert. Even though the cheese cake was good!
But I have to say that their first 3 dishes were superb! Nothing to complain there and so was the service. Super fast and nice ppl working there.
At last, I have to add that the kimchi was not good. Too much of gochugaru - seemed like there is nothing more than the chili pepper flakes there, so it made the kimchi very dry. Maybe they should copy the recipe from Maangchi from Youtube...

An exquisite dining experience! This has to be among my top three places in Oslo 🙌
This season they served seven dishes of Korean cousine. Each dish was different, exotic (for a norwegian at least) and very tasty and balanced in flavor. How they manage to make those flavors is beyond me. The wine package matched the food perfectly. The staff was friendly and made us feel at ease, and went the extra mile to make us feel taken care of. We got hot towels between dishes to wash hands and they never went by a glass without filling it up a bit more. The restaurant is small so make sure you book in advance to get a table. We highly recommend this place!
Such a nice restaurant! Very friendly staff and amazing Korean food! Best octopus and tofu I've ever had! Not many tables, so recommend booking one! If you inform them when booking, you'll get a vegetarian etc menu, but do it when booking as they spend up to 24 hours to prepare your meal (long cooked pork etc.). Perfect wine pairing as well. They change their menu every 2 months, so allways perfect for the season! Will definitely come back!
