Great Korean food that we stumbled upon from Google Maps! 🍗 the gochujang chicken on that hotplate was great, well marinated and properly tender - gochujang all around! 🍲 kimchi pork stew was great too, mildly spicy and very flavourful, with quite a generous portion of ingredients in it 🦑 the seafood pancake was mostly squid, but was crispy on the sides and filled with umami with each bite! Good portion for 2 pax, left filling very full after the meal! Friendly staff, fast service, and great food! The best Korean restaurant we tried in Queenstown. We were blown away with the taste! Highly recommended and will definitely be back again.
