“ Really nice chicken and Korean hot pots! Enjoyed time with my friends here. Definitely will come back to try other food ”
“ Cosey vibe liked the layout of the place. Some unique options on the share menu from what I’ve seen way other Korean restaurants which is what drew me to it. Got the pork belly and baby octopus between two people to share. Was tasty and well made, only con is the portion is on the smaller side and not as much meat compared to veges and rice cake in the mix but I guess that’s the norm these days. Corn butter was tasty, and as was the rice ball though I’ve had better-shoutout to Kaya in cbd when they were open! On the lookout for more rice balls. Sides were a bit of a let down, not the usual number nor the quantity and side dishes are one of the best things about Korean food imo! Overall good try out in the shore, there are so many Korean places to choose from though, usually more than one in every corner so much more to try than to repeat. ”
“ Highly recommended for late night dinner. Staff were amazing, we were 12 individuals and we were accomodated excellently. Hot pots and all other food in the menu were amazing "yumm" plus large servings, we went home with food coma. Some menu are good for couple or single person as well We will definitely go back again. ”
“ Yum yum yum! the food here is sooo good! we got the rose fried chicken, raw beef bibimbap and the corn cheese and they were all the best. The flavours are so nice and everything just works so well together. Although it’s a little pricy i’d say that it’s totally worth it especially for sharing so that u can try a bit of each dish. The atmosphere is nice and has a kind of wooden theme. the service is also really speedy and friendly! overall super great dining experience would totally recommend. ”

“ Had an awesome meal here. The food was super tasty, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Especially for the pork hock, it was a standout—so tender and juicy, it just melted in my mouth. The staff were friendly and made us feel right at home. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great spot to eat! ”
“ It was my first time visiting this restaurant with my family and I highly recommend this restaurant. I ordered pancake, spicy stir-chicken gizzard and spicy braised seafood with Fish Roe. Spicy braised seafood was my favourite. The portion was big enough to share with 3-4 people and variety of seafood was very fresh and very well seasoned. Seafood pancake was exellent . I love the crunchiness of the pancake and the batter and the size of seafood was big and very well sorted. Chicken gizzard and vegetable was very well seasoned and very fresh. Highly recommend this restaurant . Definitely visit again !! ”
“ After my work finished, I came here for the dinner. And I tried Simya’s new menu which is called pork belly donburi and it was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was amazing too—I highly recommend it! ”
