The Bento Box was delicious . Didn't wait too long for our food either. Great service. Packed with care. I still need to try out the karaoke room! Looks like fun.

Korean Kitchen was an absolute pleasure to visit. If you are a K-pop fan you'll absolutely love it, because the restaurant has a lot of K-pop themes within the shop. The person attending the till was also really hot (and Asian) and he literally looked like a Kpop star. It was very pleasing to the eye. The restaurant itself was very clean and hygienic. The floors are clean and the bathrooms were acceptably clean (a little bit on the cluttered side, but still acceptable either way). They have the traditional karaoke rooms that are seen in Korea (check Google or any Korean series for a reference). Those rooms were clean and private and away from the main eating area of the restaurant (there are 2 separate karaoke rooms away from the dining area). The service was great and the patrons were very friendly and helpful. The ambiance of the restaurant is very calm and happy. The food itself was very delicious and came in a very timely manner. The restaurant also has an extensive range of Korean dishes to choose from on the menu (also if you know any Korean dishes that are off the menu, they might actually make it for you if you ask them nicely). I ended up trying some of the famous Korean Soju (R150 a bottle). The original one tastes like normal clean Smirnoff, whereas the Plum flavoured Soju tastes really good. Either way, it definitely will make you a little warm under the collar and pink in the cheeks All in all, the experience was a very enjoyable and memorable one and I 10/10 would recommend it to anyone who is looking to have a taste of the real Korea.

Highly recommend eating here if you're in the area. Try anything on the menu here. Was recommended this place by a friend. Was not disappointed in the slightest. Food was quick, delicious and packed with flavour. Also affordable considering the portion sizes. I got the chicken lunch box and it came with a variety of sides to accompany the gochujang fried chicken. Will be returning soon with friends to try the Korean BBQ and maybe even some karaoke.

Absolutely love this place! I introduced my family to Korean food after living in South Korea. And there was something on the menu for everyone - from 70 year old grandpa to the teenagers, and even including the 2 year old. There are pictures to help you order. And everything is reasonably priced. We also rented the karaoke room and had the time of our lives! 10/10 recommend for family fun

A wonderful evening of kareoke for teenager's birthday party. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was well sound-proofed!! Last minute requests were accommodated with a smile and the food was plentiful and tasty - what more could one ask for?

Your food is great but on Uber Eats you keep getting my order wrong. Tonight was the second time you have sent the wrong food. Item seen is meant to be BEEF.
