Authentic Korean Feast in Takapuna! We tried Budae Jjigae (Army Stew)– Packed with spam, rice cakes, kimchi, and instant noodles in a rich, mildly spicy broth. The noodles soaking up the flavors were the highlight! Crispy Fried Chicken
– Perfectly crunchy outside, juicy inside, with zero dryness. A solid contender for North Shore’s best!
Arrived to a full house (always a good sign!) but waited only briefly. The lively vibe matched the generous portions—great for groups!

Went to this spot after a friend recommended it.
We tried a few soups. they were a bit bland at first. You definitely need to add salt (which they provide on the side), so at least you can season it to your own taste.
Out of everything, the spicy beef soup stood out. Super flavorful and comforting.
Also tried the boneless chicken. It was quick, nicely done, and tasted good — just wish the portion wasn’t so small!

Always love the food here. The quality is very consistent. The owner is very friendly and polite. Worth the drive to come to Takapuna for some wholesome Korean food like this :)

High-quality and authentic bossam. The pork belly has no gamy or unpleasant odor, and it’s super tender with a mild seasoning. Fresh cabbage kimchi with oysters is my favorite. The fresh kimchi is slightly spicy and refreshing. Wrap pork belly, fresh kimchi with oysters, and garlic slices in lettuce. Each bite of this combination is perfect:)

Wondered in on a unplanned date night. Food was very tasty and staff were super friendly and accommodating. Portions were huge.
