Delicious food and friendly service. We had the Korean fried chicken, which was crispy, juicey and tasty. We also had the Tteok-bokki, which was rich, flavoursome and spicy making you wanting more after each bite and lastly the Ramen Noodle was so fresh and deep in Flavour!! Thank you so much! Would highly recommend.

Can't rave about this place enough. Popped in to try a Korean corn dog and was not disappointed. The food was delicious and definitely worth £4.50! Had the half cheese half beef hot dog in normal coating, the hubby had half and half too but with nacho coating. It was freshly cooked on the spot. There was only one lass dealing with everything bless her (and it was a lunch rush), we waited no longer than 10 minutes for our food and sat in a cook funky little dining area.

Super friendly staff who deliver super delicious food!! Me and my friend went today and it tasted better than I expected! It was really really tasty!! Next time I visit, I will be trying something else on the menu! It has great prices! I visited again and again after I posted this original review so I have decided to add an edit to the review if another item I love! The camera didn’t pick up the colours too well but it tastes and looks delicious! The rice cake is nice and chewy! In the first picture I have the cheese Corning with sugar and ketchup, really nice and crispy with melted cheese in the middle! I really recommend!

This place is always amazing. It is cash only so be prepared to take cash out when buying at this place. You can have a great meal, takeaway can be arranged for food while your eating. Always taste amazing, the corn dogs have that sweetness you look for with the batter and the added sugar. The ketchup adds that tangyness you look for within one. The ramen is always delicious, there are fresh mushrooms added to the shin ramen for further deliciousness. Chives or green onions are always added to the shin ramen as a topping as well. The cheese on the ramen as you can see is a lot so only ask for that if you're prepared to eat quickly before the cheese solidifies. The tteokbokki is worth it as are the fried egg and the bulgogoi beef, I haven't tried the other toppings yet but I'm sure they're as good as the previous. You can buy drinks as well from their selected fridge of drinks just state what you want while ordering.

The food at this place was the best I have had in a while. It's cheap and filling. I'd recommend getting the half and half corn dog or the full pork as the full cheese falls of the stick since there is no inner support. The ketchup really adds to the flavour as otherwise its a little bland. As for the customer service it was perfect. The woman working was kind polite and honestly the sweetest. She was working mostly on her own while I was in on the 14th of June 2023. She was doing her best and not a single person was waiting longer than 5 minutes for their food which is cooked fresh. I'd say if you're walking around town and want something to eat that's quick and affordable I'd come here over anywhere like McDonald's. I paid £12.00 for 2 corn dog and 2 cans of diet coke and it is the best price I have seen for the serving sizes. Would 100% recommend.

Amazing food, friendly staff, reasonable pricing. Corndogs made fresh to order and super tasty with lots of choices of corndog (pork sausage/beef sausage/cheese/half cheese half sausage) and coating (plain/noodle/octopus leg/nacho/etc) and sauces. Also sells cans of regular pop and Korean pop. Small seating area with bench and table seating. Large enough to sit at a table and have my sons pram next to me.
