Got their bbq soy garlic dark galbi chicken, more like I got 2 servings of rice with soy chicken as a side dish 🙄 also spotted a small cockroach which I told them and they got rid of it nonchalantly without even feeling apologetic lol. Never coming here again …

Worst grab food experience I’ve had. Ordered at 5, waited until 715 and the order is still being delayed and the app said it will be delivered by 745. Delay after delay? Is the kitchen even preparing the order? I had no choice but to cancel. More than 2 hours of waiting is ridiculous.

One of the worst korean food I've had. The noodles and beef slices were in clumps. The broth was below average - just sweet without much flavour. The ingredients were pathetic. There were only a few slices of beef, 1 thin slice of radish …

I was pretty excited to see a Korean stall opening in Singapore — there’s always something comforting and satisfying about Korean food. However, what I experienced was full of disappointment and honestly quite disheartening. …
