What customers say?

“ Heard so much about this place and the food certainly did not disappoint. I ordered the Zip Crema and was thoroughly impressed by the “zip” the cream sauce had, and the different pastas used in this dish. Just wished there was more shrimp cos I only had 3. We also had the Carbonara and the Podoromo, which were good, but nothing to shout about. What blew us away was the Manzo Risotto. It was rich, creamy, mushroomy, earthy and hearty. Wow, cooked to perfection with the rice grains beautifully individual but yet sticking together. This was nicely punctuated with the sprigs of arugula. The meat accompanying it had a nice crust to it, which helped with the mouthfeel. Although it was more towards the medium-well, it was still tasty. Would have preferred it more medium rare. Nice decorations, wood and bricks theme. Tasteful lighting. We had a window seat which was wonderful. However, there were also small knick knacks on the walls which we were terrified of knocking off. There’s an also a bell to call for the wait staff, most of whom could speak English. If they couldn’t, they would use Google translate ”

“ This place was such a lovely surprise! The cozy hanok-style interior with wooden beams feels warm the moment you sit down. The pasta and salad were super fresh and delicious — light but full of flavor. Especially the pasta, the shrimp were big and juicy, and the veggies were so tasty! The whole atmosphere is comfy and perfect for hanging out with friends (and for taking cute photos!). Definitely coming back again ”

“ Excellent restaurant. Service is a bit disappointing. First I tried to book ahead and they said they don’t take a big group of 8. The next day I tried to book again and they said they take orders today… almost gave up. 3rd the charm we came and were sat after a few minutes, the food was absolutely delicious. All of it. Someone knows exactly what they are doing, and it shows in the tastes and textures. The waiters mixed up our dishes, but eventually corrected the bill, not before handing us an incomplete bill in Korean. ”
