I come here for the bibimbap, a signature Korean dish which consists of a red-hot stone bowl filled with raw ingredients, kimchee and an extremely careful waitress stirring the whole dish together! It's filling, usual and delicious – I recommend either the rib eye or the tobiko (flying fish roe) and snow crab. Other things I've enjoyed there are decent, well-priced katsu curries, bento boxes and deep fried squid, dishes which no doubt serve the hungry City worker well. When I've had sashimi, it's been fresh and tasty if a little ordinary. Service is also really friendly and helpful – but with only one white wine and one red on the wine list, it doesn't take long to make a decision on what to drink! One thing I've wondered though, is why it's so empty in the evenings – this means the atmosphere can seem a little lacking. But it's a great little find if you're looking for some decent Japanese / Korean food in the city at a good price.

The food was great. Vegetarian options were varied and tasty, which is a nice surprise in the City. However, I strongly resent being made to eat with a plastic fork and spoon. I am not 5 years old, nor am I on a plane. I have never seen such a thing. I asked for “proper” cutlery and was told they don't have it. Not only is this environmentally irresponsible, but I am unable to eat with chopsticks, medically as well as generally. I also resent not being able to provide this feedback on their website as the only contact details supplied is the phone number for takeaway orders. What a shame that good food is let down by such an idiotic practice.
