We went for dinner, there are mainly Korean customers which indicating it must be really good! The place is small and busy, but food was extraordinary!!! I had beef bone stew and ask if I could have one poached egg inside (I normally like it this way. ) then the staff went to check with chef and told me the flavour will change completely if I add a poached egg. I felt quite different coz normally restaurant just do what you ask, I like the way they actually communicate with you and set you expectation. The sides dishes are free just like other Korean restaurants but they are really tasty!! I love this place and will go back for sure.

The food was just alright. I was quite surprised that they didn't serve 깍두기(Radish Kimchi) with 국밥(Guk-bap)... they didn't even have proper Kimchi. There were some Kimchi-ish side dishes but they tasted awful. I have no idea why it was warm. Couldn't feel any freshness.My friend ordered 순댓국(Soon-dae Guk), and there were literally 5 pieces of 순대(Soon-dae) inside.Based on Google reviews, this place is nice (apparently) but I was very disappointed. Maybe I should try other dishes next time if I can remember to come here again.

Found this place while looking for another restaurant. Had Sunday lunch here. Just simple common Korean dishes Bibimbap and a Pork bone soup. Both were delicious and well prices. Service is quick and place is very clean.

Soft tofu soup was very good! I would love to visit again to try other dishes. It was also my first time to have salted oysters as a side dish and it was very good!

I used to visit the place to taste Korean food, but not anymore after a couple of bad experiences of food qualities. I do not recommend Donkazu which is paper thin meat with full of breadcrumb and Gamjatang which contained pork bones only not meat, very small amount of veggies for the soup. Total disappointment!

The food is delicious. If you want to experience authentic Korean cuisine, come to this place. While there are many Korean restaurants in Auckland, I recommend this place more than any other. I feel a bit sorry that there is a review mentioning that the staff was slightly unfriendly. I would like to apologize on their behalf. Nevertheless, the food at this place is truly delicious.

A very local and authentic Korean restaurant. The shop wasn't flash, but the food was tasty. A great place to go for some delicious soup in the winter.

Had two dishes.1. Chueo tang which my wife and I really enjoyed. personally it tastes one I used to eat back in the day. It has really plain taste.2. Daegu tang which can taste fish fresh and has a little kick.Staff is welcoming and cozy over there.

Immediately coming into this place, the staff here are SO rude, especially the Korean teenage girl who is specifically weirdly only nice to Koreans. We were not greeted, smiled at or even treated with any sort of basic mutual respect. She threw down our food on the table and did not have a single ounce of hospitality whatsoever. Furthermore, there are flies that will swarm your food and annoy your entire dining experience. Undoubtedly, the food served here isn’t even worth the embarrassment of being treated in such a derogatory manner. This would never be a place I would return to, nor would it be a place I would recommend others to go. There are better places that serve better food with friendlier, less racist staff that would be better to patronise.

Problem 1 - Racist StaffCame back again on the 28/2 and one of the staff was very, very rude. She did not greet us or say anything when we ordered, but instead looked at us like we said something wrong to her. We felt that she had a really hostile vibe when taking our order when she could just be normal and we wouldn’t have an issue with it. However, we noticed that she was very nice and kind to Korean customers as she would speak politely and smile at them. After ordering she threw the hot soup (sundaeguk) into the table and almost burned me as my partner was showing me something on her phone.Problem 2 -We only ordered 1 dish to share as my partner had eaten before. However, we liked the side dishes and politely asked for a refill. The waitress then rolled her eyes and gave us attitude when we asked her for it when she could have declined since we did only ordered 1 dish to share.However, the other older staff member came and explained that you have to order 2 dishes when two people are in the restaurant. This was not explained when we ordered as the waitress didn’t even speak to us. I asked for a refill with intention to pay for them anyway, as some restaurants don’t give free refills. Alternatively, we would have been absolutely fine to be declined of a refill, which we had explained to both staff members as well.Problem 3 - Flies and hygieneThere were flies EVERYWHERE and we had to shoo them away every 30 seconds and it was just a pain to deal with. This brings down the overall hygiene level and dining experience at their restaurant.Overall, it was really a shame as I came here 3 times during lockdown to take away food and remembered the staff being very nice and friendly.
