The popular hangout for Korean fare offers Handmade dumplings, including vegan options, as well as a selection of sharing dishes and a range of classics. 

The neighbourhood restaurant offers 35–40 covers split across two floors and is inspired by destinations such as Seoul, Gangwon and Jeju.    

The owners met in Paris while working at the two-Michelin-starred L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon and went on to become executive chefs for the opening of Restaurant L'Envie in France.  

Ideas for the couple's dishes come from their own experiences in South Korea, offering a unique joint Korean and British perspective.
