We love this place, large choice of food at a very reasonable price, kids friendly with high chairs and lovely welcoming staff. My favourite family Korean restaurant in Auckland!
First time went there for lunch, Extraordinary lunch..love it.
Stopped by for lunch here. The menu is fairly large and has quite a few items you don't see in other Korean places. I quite like the range of different noodles. I had the jjolmyun, a chewy noodle with spicy sauce. I really liked the chewiness of the noodles. The egg and potato side dishes are also quite nice.
Nice place for Korean food even with a group.
Pretty decent offerings in upper Queen St. Clean premises with an interior very reminiscent of restaurants in Korea. Typical menu but what we ate was tasty. Nice banchan but jeez it was all a bit salty, seriously too much sodium. Friendly service.
For my first try of Korean cuisine, this was not bad! I loved the service and the food was simple, affordable and packed full of flavour. The plum wine was gorgeous and I loved the pork belly. Would definitely come back again!
Some places feel genuine and homely. This felt just like that. The young lady and guy serving us were friendly, authentic and efficient. Very happy to get us seconds and just generally nice. The restaurant was surprisingly empty when we went. The food quality is hit and miss, but I ordered something a bit weird and it's a mission to find fresh tuna in Auckland so no hard feelings. Overall a really good Korean place.
Favorite place to go to for korean food! Good service and delicious food! Love their cold noodles, always order when dinning here.

Awesome quick eats if you around the airedale / mayoral drive area. Work literally just next door on airedale. Really convenience place as they cook your food pretty quick and nice side dishes. Used to come here every week. Highly recommended and would prefer this over that green korean restaurant opposite this one any day...
Very professional and tidy.
The takeaway come with neat little boxes so don't need to worry about getting messy.
Very good takeaway food when you don't feel like eating in city. Great tasting too!

Pretty normal menu with all the common Korean dishes. Most delicious dolsot bibimbap! So much crispy rice mixed in since the temperature was perfect, toppings were delicious. Side dishes were very generous and free refill - I was so full and happy when I toddled out. Can't believe I never came by here before! Yukgejang was not very generous, however, and not recommended over other Korean restaurants in the city. Just go for the bibimbap!
One of my faves since long time! I use to go here for lunch when I use work on Airedale st. I hadn't been back for a few years until yesterday as I had moved jobs. Gotta say their food is still top notch! My husband and I enjoyed our meal very much yesterday and their side dishes are the best! Sticky rice chicken is my favourite!
Food was lovely - bibimbap had heaps of toppings and a runny egg ❤ side dishes were great as well, with kimchi, marinated potato, tea egg and a green salad to share. You can also ask for one round of free refill of the side dishes too!
This Korean restaurant provides high-quality food with fresh ingredients. I opted for the beef sizzle, which was not only delicious but also served in a generous portion. The meat, while slightly on the tougher side, still had a great flavor. The rice was fluffy, and the side dishes complemented the meal nicely. The space, although a bit small, maintains a cozy atmosphere, and the staff members are friendly and welcoming.
BBQ SQUID WITH PORK - must have dish!
A delicious Korean restaurant that was a pleasant surprise! Always saw heaps of tourists dining here, hence I didn't know whether this place would be good or not. But I can say that this is a very delicious authentic Korean restaurant!
The bbq squid with pork as served on a sizzling hot plate, spicy sauce seasoning, stir fried with vegetables and complimented by a delicious smokey flavour.
They served us with a generous amount of side dishes which were delicious.
The staff were friendly and served us in a very timely manner as we walked in.
The atmosphere is cozy and clean.
Will be back again!
Totally recommend this place for authentic Korean. I had the ginseng chicken soup. One might say there’s not much flavour but I liked how the broth was not oily and had a subtle taste of ginseng.
The service was excellent. Very attentive and topped up my side dishes as well.
Best Korean I have had in Auckland. The food is amazing and so is the service. The prices are great as the dishes are pretty big so it’s definitely bang for your buck - you also get complimentary sides (kim chi etc.) I ordered the BBQ pork, BBQ beef and Ttukbaegi Bulgogi (Beef noodle soup) which I highly recommend. Will definitely be returning in the future.

I couldn't tell you how authentic the flavours are, but I just know that I liked it, and I had a good time.
We had tteokbokki, the sizzling plate of squid and pork, and some fried meat dumplings. To drink, we had beer and makgeolli.
For what we had, I though the price was super reasonable, considering Korean tends to be on the spennier side of things.
The sizzling plate of pork and squid was the winner for us. But the tteokbokki had a special place in our hearts (and guts). Really enjoyed the level spice - has a kick, but we're not dying. The tteokbokki does lean on the sweet side, but I'm not too mad. The dumplings were fried really well. And we really appreciated the fact that the whole dumpling fit inside the dipping sauce vessel - such a small thing, but such a big win for even coating of sauce.
We're really getting into #makgeolli, and would recommend giving that a whirl. Slightly sweet, slightly fizzy,anf just a lovely little buzz.
Toilets were clean!! What a win. Service was quick and pleasant.
Would go back again.
This place was recommended to us, so it was our first time eating here yesterday and I can definitely recommend this place!
Reasonably priced food, very flavourful and amazing customer service.
We had the Gochujang pork belly which came with 4 side dishes (kimchi, potato, fish cake and radish) and a rice bowl. The pork was so tender, we loved the flavour and it was cooked with cabbage and onions. The dish is enough to share between 2 people. We also had the Korean Plum Liquor and that was extremely pleasant to drink.
It would have been better if they offer korean fried chicken, but it wasn’t on the menu.
Place was clean and really attentive & friendly customer service.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place! I can’t wait to go back and try the other dishes on offer.
There are many Korean along Queen Street in Auckland. And really glad to find this off the end of Queen Street. Food selection and choices are sufficient. They serve plain water for free. 1st and 2nd round of side dishes are free. You only pay $2 for any 3rd round. Their beef dishes are nice.
Stopped by for lunch here. The menu is fairly large and has quite a few items you don't see in other Korean places. I quite like the range of different noodles. I had the jjolmyun, a chewy noodle with spicy sauce. I really liked the chewiness of the noodles. The egg and potato side dishes are also quite nice.
Nice place for Korean food even with a group.
Edit the Jeon here is quite nice, flavourful and crispy. It is also quite large.
Absolutely Delicious Korean food served with very cordial service amidst pleasant music, right in the middle of Auckland CBD. The best bulgogi and pickled radish I have ever tasted. Very clean restaurant- even the water tasted so crisp and clean !
Great place with top food very well priced. Service was quick and the food was really tasty. My only slight gripe is that the beer selection does not have any hop based beer to select, all are just lagers. How about a Mac's Rock Hopper or similar? However, the fridge is small so can't accommodate a wide range. Definitely worth a visit when in the city.
