We were in the mood for some Korean food the other night and decided to try this restaurant in Cambridge. The restaurant is located in a busy road and the nearest parking is less than 10min walk. No booking was needed, we just walked in. The front of the house was friendly and directed us to our table. The waitress was also friendly and our order was taken quickly. The food was ready quickly and didn’t have to wait too long. The food was ok but nothing to be excited about. The best dish was the chicken wings and the pork dumplings. It was finger licking good! Portions were decent and we left the place feeling full. The bill was ok, not very expensive for what we had. If you believe this review has been helpful for you, please don’t forget to press the button. Thank you.

We tried this place for the first time Saturday. Very discreet little entrance and then steps downstairs to the restaurant. Very tucked away but that's a good sign because their customers will do their selling. Lovely authentic food in a peaceful setting. Staff very attentive and the food was so nice. We'd definitely go back again next time we're in Cambridge. Highly recommended.

This place is easy to miss. It’s at the corner of Regent Street in Cambridge and there are steps down to a basement that lead to the restaurant. Service was swift and friendly, so this is good for work lunch when you have limited time. Bibimbap was delicious and other dishes were tasty and well presented. Great for lunch or dinner. Will definitely return.

Our daughters love for Korean music and culture lead us to try this little place. They were friendly and the food was great. We tried the dumplings and two different types of bugolgi? (Not shure of the spelling). Anyway, we really liked it. I would recommend it.

I had a dinner with friends at little Seoul and it was a good surprise! Service was really good and food came quickly! Starters were delicious (korean pancakes and pork dumplings) and the main was great! Good value for price! Definitely going back!

Great service and the food. The restaurant is in basement but the ventilation is quite good. No need to wait long after the order. I love the taste of beef, a bit sweet. Good place if you wanna try Korean food.

Korean Restaurant The food was nice and authentic. Everything was freshly prepared for every order. Medium portion size with reasonable prices. There was some interesting caught my eye in the menu: All dishes are GM free. In order to confirm the statement, I asked the staff about that. The staff told me that the noodle was from Korea. I got severe allergy symptoms on Korean wheat products(dumplings and noodles) in the past(not related to this restaurant!). Later on discovered that just like Japan, Korean wheat products are GMO too. So I am not going to risk it no matter what. At the restaurant was honest about the source of their wheat items on the menu. So it's up to your choice if you want to try their noodles. The restaurant was relatively small. It is located underground therefore it's very easy got overlooked by the pedestrians.
