Ben Nesbitt

Good Food, reasonable prices. Perfect for lunch/dinner or even just some fried chicken (yangnyeom tongdak) and a pitcher of beer . A bit tired looking to say the least, but very friendly staff !

Anastasia Kazachkova

The best Korean restaurant ! Everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend Soondooboo Zigae! Big sitting area. There’s also pub if you wanna have a couple of drinks.

By far the best bulgogi in all of dublin! Deliiiiicious! I have brought so many people there who now love it because of the bulgogi ! Love the banchan too!

Bogdan Marin

Unexpectedly tasty bibimbap . You get a hot bowl you stir yourself the meat, the rice and vegetables . You add souce (soy or chili ).

Rob Fahey

Colour me impressed - genuinely great Korean food (though the Japanese dishes aren't so hot, literally or otherwise) in Dublin. Try the fresh kimchi - it's a revelation.

Roy Chen

Restaurant and bar with an excellent vibe. Korean food is passable but had a good time in the bar area with a few pints.

Get everything salmon ! The salmon teriyaki served in a bento box is perfect for a quick, cheap and tasty lunch . Delfin approved ;)

Christiane Link

Bibimbap was great. Large choice of beers . Green tea ice cream for dessert . Friendly service .

José Antonio Martín

I liked the restaurant , service and ambient. I didn't like the kimchi , the entrant, it's not my cup of tea . The sushi and the bento box were delicious!

Khalid A.

Cozy atmosphere , and some quality food. The chicken katsu don was delicious! Definitely coming back.

Johnny Mc

One outstanding dish on their menu and it's the recently introduced Sea Bream Sashimi with a single rose peppercorn . Outstanding. The Gold plum wine is something else.

Berin Soylu

My favorite is the bulgogi but I love everything about this place ????????

arlene hanratty

Very tasty food. Try the tuna in a bowl or the popular bulgoggi, lovely marinated beef . They also have a selection of korean wine ( we tried the plum . Nice but very sweet)

George Dimitropoulos

Very good service and friendly ! Also, the beef was great (the first of the main dishes)

Georgian

Great value . For just over €20 I got 2 meals n a sofa n a cuppa Green tea . Presentation so awesome it was.

Connor Murphy

Bibimbap is great! Perfect food for a cold winters day

Kimchi pancakes are really good. Personally will not go for Japchae again, just oily noodles with some frozen veggie mix.

Go with the Crunch Roll if you’re ordering sushi ????

Tom Woolverton

Amazing value, tasty authentic Korean food . Get in here now!

Jag Firerwalker

The Bimibap, even when spelled bad / pronounced bad is the thing to eat. If you wanna get a real culture shock come here. It looks like an old Irish pub , but that is run by Koreans. It is deeeeelicous
