Really delicious food, ordered the spicy miso ramen and the brisket which came with a lot of side dishes to complement. The sweet and spicy sauce is delightful. Authentic dishes served in traditional Korean dinnerware. Service was friendly and swift. Cocktails were refreshing and fruity would definitely recommend this place and will visit again in the future gladly.

To start off, I am Asian American. And this restaruant was my first time experiencing RACISM while traveling Europe. I have traveled to Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Norway, and Finland.
The tables were entirely empty since I came here exactly at 5, and the waitress told me all the tables were fully booked. When I asked how long it would take us to get a table, she told us it would take an hour. So, instead of waiting, she proposed to dine in this stairwell area. Since we were hungry, we just accepted it. Not even a table, but she gave us a bench where they used to put random supplies—faraway from where other people would dine in. After an hour, we finished our food, and most of the tables were still empty.
I am from California, and I have experienced racism before but never in this way. In a very civil manner, I confronted the waitress, and she told me that we misunderstood.
For the record, the conversation went:
Me: I don’t understand why we could not get a table seat when there are so many tables opened. You told us to wait an hour to get a table, and it has passed an hour, and more than half of the tables are still empty.
W: No, I told that the tables are reserved, and customers will arrive in an hour. (This was not what she told us.)
Me: You told us to wait an hour for a table.
W: Then, I misunderstood your question.
Me: Oh, okay.
And for goodness sake, she was shaking as if she never expected us to ask questions regarding the service. At this point, I was just done with the bs and left. She never apologized. ❗️Honestly, it is very ironic, how an Asian restaurant is racist towards Asian people. Profiting from Asian culture yet never truly embracing its people.❗️This was my first encounter of racism in Europe, so well done! Never expected to experience it in a Korean restaurant 😂. My mother was so disappointed, she asked me to write a review so that other Asian people who visit Visby will not ruin their trip. Here is my first Google Review 👍.
Regarding food:
The food did NOT even taste close to a Korean food. More like they just put Korean names on dishes that’s hardly close to Korean. Using an aluminum can to serve side dishes for style, but honestly, it is not a great idea. Kimchi is probably one of the worst kimchi I ever had, and I was quite shocked by Bibimbap… I expected so much from the reviews, and Bibimbap is not Bibimbap. More like chicken poke served with kimchi… Bibimbap requires at least some sort of namul, but this one lacks any aspect of a Korean dish. After traveling Europe for a month, I desired a taste of a Korean food, and it massively failed. Also, what translated to a cucumber salad, do not expect 오이국수. With thick noodles and room temperature peanut sauce, it tasted more like a Thai dish… This place serves more of an Asian fusion food (into whatsoever European style), so for future customers, please take note.

Nice little restaurant with a super cozy atmosphere and tremendous service. The food was quite authentic and the staff was always more than willing to explain each dish to us. When here the best strategy is to order a few dishes for sharing. While not the largest portions, they were certainly filling. Don't forget to try the Mandu and the Kalbi; both are not to be missed. A great dining experience that fits any budget. The food was so good I forgot to take pictures XD!
Awesome restaurant for some fancy Korean BBQ. Have had lots of authentic Korean BBQ in my travels and can happily say that this restaurant deserves a visit!

Lively and well managed restaurant at Adelsgatan in the old town of Visby. The food is Korean, spicy and tasty. A welcoming and warm atmosphere, very hip.
