  “Such a lovely hidden gem in Norwich! The food was fresh, wholesome and beautifully flavoured, and the cosy atmosphere made it even better. A really unique addition to the city! Love love it!”

  “Absolutely excellent food, truly great. Only loses a star as there was a dead bar fly on a salad leaf and I didn't get an apology so felt a little let down.”

  “Tasty Korean cuisine, in relaxed surroundings with prompt and friendly service. My other half and I visited for a quick dinner prior to seeing a show at the Theatre Royal. A street level entrance leads you straight up some stairs to the restaurant. We had some man-doo vegetable dumplings, a Seoul (BBQ beef) and Pusan (BBQ spicy pork) Korean Tapas dishes; each are accompanied with Korean Fried Chicken, shredded potato banchan, kimchi and rice. This was all exceptionally delicious, especially the KFC, which was cruchy, tender, tasty and had a surprising lightness that belied it's deep fried origins. It was still rich and the kimchi has a freshness that went well with it. We washed it all down with a couple of cans of coke; our only criticism would be for there to be a greater selection of alcoholic beverages, albeit I can appreciate that what was on offer was authentic. The bill was very reasonable too - we will definitely visit again.”

  “The Kimchee is nestled on the second floor of a building. Its small space creates a cozy atmosphere, and they serve a variety of dishes, with lots of options, such as bimbap. The bulgogi pot was my choice, and it came out in a reasonable amount of time, looking good. It comes in a steaming pot and tastes very good. Overall, I recommend coming here as the place is clean, cozy and serves good bulgogi!”

  “The restaurant is upstairs. The stairs are narrow and they lead to a small area where there are a few tables. It is cramped and when it is full it can get quite noisy. The toilets are on another floor and I accidentally walked into the kitchen trying to get to the toilet, earning weird looks from the chefs. I ordered a dolsot bibimbap which wasn't sizzling and adding an egg costs extra. The menu said that it wasn't spicy, however, with the chili jam mixed in with everything else, it was spicy to the point of making me sweat profusely. What I thought was a place with affordable Korean food turned out to be a place with mediocre food and a poor atmosphere.”

  “In my opinion, this is the best Korean restaurant in Norwich. The bibimbap and Korean fried chicken were absolutely outstanding and are a must-try. Every dish was fresh, full of flavour and tasted incredibly authentic. The staff were also incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our visit. They were welcoming from the moment we arrived, checked in on us regularly and made sure everything was served promptly. We’ve tried quite a few Korean restaurants in Norwich, and this one is definitely our favourite. Great food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!”

  “The kimchi is one of my absolute favourite restaurants in norwich. The delicious food, the nice atmosphere not the mention the amazing staff! A special thank you to Lucy and Annabel (Apologies for any incorrect spelling) for the hospitable and kind service. Will definitely be a regular at this spot for years to come.”
