“ Four of us enjoyed the food and services very much. We ordered the cooked Korean dishes and were happy with all of them, including the two noodle soups, sea food pancake, and especially the skewers. The owner lady came by our table a couple of times and chatted with us. Very nice and friendly. We are so glad we found this rare Korean food restaurant here in Cancun. ”
“ This is a definite a find here in Cancun. Korean barbecue at its best and the owner is very personable and helpful for first timers. Note: this restaurant is on the top floor (third) if using the elevator, go to the end one not the middle one. ”
“ Yeah, this is amazing The food, the service, the atmosphere, the prices. Especially the food. Looks like their meat options are really cool, but I had a vegetarian meal and the vegetables were top notch. It would be easy to be a vegetarian if you can eat like this. The other meal was with chicken, which was also perfect. The person who had the chicken said he would get extra chicken next time, that's how good it was. I also had lemonade, which is also very good. ”
“ I had such a fantastic time: the food, friendly service, and empathetic staff were wonderful. Having pork ribs BBQ on the table is not easy in Canada, where I live, so my intention was to enjoy Korean food before departure. The meat was delicious, of course, grilled on the fire, which is the traditional Korean way to enjoy meat. Refills of side dishes and lettuce wraps (쌈) were provided, but I wish I had perilla leaves (깻잎) ㅎㅎㅎㅎ. The kimchi tofu stew was salty and spicy enough to balance the pork ribs BBQ in my opinion. In addition, I must appreciate their hard work and empathy. During my trip in Riviera maya, I had a fall, was limping, but the staff helped me to get a taxi after meal, unfortunately the taxi didn't take VISA and staff paid for it. OMG...my heart was melted. How staff tried so hard to make me feel safe as a foreigner. Mucho muchos Gracias Amigos!! I will visit again... ”
“ What an amazing place!! Very tasty food and the service is super friendly we are definitely coming back! ”
