Bokman in Bristol, City of

The place is very small so you have to make a reservation before going and it is usually full, so either go early or book a little in advance. the delicious food. We started with the bokman salad which is a little spicy, the rice (I thought I wasn't going to like the kimchi and I loved it) with pork. They serve it to you in a stone bowl to keep it warm during the meal. We finish with the beef stew. the waitress who served us was super nice

We came to Bristol for a 24hr city break, had read about Bokman and was very excited to try! Totally lived up to expectation. Everything was delicious, super fresh, big flavour. A fabulous lunch indeed! Thank you 🙏

Absolutely out of this world. You can feel the passion and dedication in this kitchen: the menu hung together like a great album, with the dishes balancing each other for flavour, colour and style. Relaxed atmosphere, cool but very friendly staff. The only issue is that we ate too much! Couldn’t stop.. Booking essential.

INCREDIBLE. The best juxtaposition of superb Korean food and fabulous natural wine. Perfect service. Great vibes. Made my husband’s birthday so special. Go!

Very expensive for a very tatty place. £250 for 4 people. Food was ok, but nothing special. Korean food is rather basic - it’s not a sophisticated cuisine, so street food is its model, which is fine , but not for me. Rooms are horrid and very basic. For a restaurant that probably takes £10,000 a week it’s a bit of a rip off.

Staff super 100%, food excepcional and atmosphere great!! For SURE i'll be back. Super recommend.

Had a very delicious dinner at Bokman. It's a small restaurant/bistro sort of place, small menu, quick service. They have a great drinks menu to start you off, and a handful of starter/main/side options, so shouldn't take too long to decide what to have! Since it was our first visit - we went for the recommended Tongdak chicken. And it was amazingly well done, soft and juicy chicken stuffed with sticky rice, served with some condiments. The salad was another favourite of ours, just delicious veggies and seaweed, dressed in peanuts. All the food was really great, came out quickly. I can see why this place is so beloved by the locals.

I’m super shocked that the food they served was nothing regarding to Korean food. It’s totally different from their advertising. If you want to have some traditional Korean food, defensively avoid this one. The restaurant is very tiny, it’s more like a Cafe, rather than restaurant. It can’t serve the enough customers.

Good restaurant with a mix of purely Korean and fusion dishes (they do sometimes give their own interpretation to some of the dishes). Ever changing menu with fresh ingredients, great vegan kimchi and also other dishes that can be vegan/vegetarian adopted. Definetly recommend.

Bad table arangments, no cutlery, rudestaff, overall priced too high for what you get

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Maybe a slight bias due to the amount of soju consumed, but one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

Absolutely divine. Recommend the stuffed chilli peppers, stuffed chicken and tofu stew with pork ribs. But anything you get will be excellent.

I like the cold noodles but everything else didn't stand out too much, even the chicken. Also, the ice cream tastes so artificial like the cough syrup taste:(

Really great restaurant experience. Fantastic service, excellent food, delicious beers. Had the Tongdak chicken and it was amazing - we got lots of other bits too. I think unless you're starving only one main is probably fine! But I'd highly recommend it :)

A superb meal, in a lovely little restaurant. Busy but cosy. The food was amazing: we had banchan, tempura chilis, kimchi fried rice, beef stew and the bokman salad - far too much for two people! With 2 beers each, that was £100. But everything was super delicious and felt like a real step up from your standard (chepaer) asian restaurant. We waddled out feeling very happy. Should have gotten the whole roasted chicken though - everyone seemed to be having it except us!

Absolutely stunning service from Molly, she made us feel right at home and the food was next to none. We’ll be back whenever we’re next in Bristol and happy to recommend to anyone 🤍

Amazing food. Staff were superb - friendly knowledgeable and attentive.

Absolutely fantastic lunch. Everything we ate was delicious, in particular the chicken and sticky rice with lettuce wraps (tasted like duck pancakes but the extra sauces / sides made it much better). The stuffed chillies were also fantastic. Service impeccable and really friendly. Couldn’t recommend more.

Qué velada tan encantadora con grandes amigos y la comida más deliciosa. Muy impresionado con las recomendaciones dadas por el personal. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita. He oído una mala crítica sobre el postre crujiente de miel, pero puedo asegurar que es increíble. Sólo funciona.

Básicamente ordenado cada elemento en el menú (partido de 3 ). Todo lo que probamos fue magnífico. Considerando que vinimos desde Londres para cenar aquí, tenía expectativas muy altas y no me decepcionó.

Well worth a visit. Food I hadn't tried before I was well impressed. Service spot, helpful and informative.

A very interesting place to eat. Recommend it.

Love this place. To the point menu, with delicious flavours and no pretentiousness. Make sure to pre order their famous whole stiffed chicken if you’d like to try it!

Every time I’ve been here it’s been 10/10. Food is amazing, service was great, very knowledgable staff. Can’t wait to revisit.

Reposting from 11 month ago: The service was good although they do try and upsell (always recommending the two most expensive dishes). They say the "smaller" plates wont be enough for a main but they will with some rice on the side. The food is good but I do think it is a little overpriced. I would recommend peppers, the chicken wings were also good. The galbi stew is nice but would recommend sharing as a table as too expensive for one person. The tiramisu is not a tiramisu.

So bad as cannot get over it. Booked table month in advance and still was seated on high chair by the window in entrance door literally-my friend had to get up and move every time someone was walking in or out. Spoke to staff and was told we should point it out while booking we wouldn't like to seat there?!!! Second restaurant charges service fee! I was it was "miscalculated" twice by the till (I was overcharged) and the girl was not able to give me the receipt because "we did booking for 2 people but paid separately"...?!!!!

Excellent authentic Korean food, friendly staff with a relaxed vibe. It's a tiny restaurant with a menu designed for sharing

Bokman is the house of flavour. The service impecable and the wine list is interesting as they introduce new wine all the time. Don’t go anywhere without trying their ice cream to finish your experience. There is so so much work that goes into everything they make that you can taste it.

I really wanted to enjoy Bokman but the place is just so tiny & crammed, also very few choices on the menu & some were sold out. Food is good but very overpriced. I must say staff are lovely & welcoming, but I just don't enjoy feeling like I'm inside a match box.

We had dinner here for the first time this week, after having read a newspaper review online. What a wonderful place! It is very small, slightly off the main road and we wouldn't have looked twice if hadn't have known about it. You need to book, we booked weeks ago and the latest we could get was 5pm. The menu is on the blackboard, the waiter was extremely friendly and helpful. The tempura stuffed chillies were great (very spicy!), and the stuffed whole chicken was wonderful. We ordered it with the sides to make lettuce wraps with different sauces, it was extremely tasty. There aren't many options for puddings, just soft serve ice cream with different toppings - but the honey butter crisp topping is just wonderful! We will definitely come back here next time we are in Bristol.

The service was OK, but the food left much to be desired. We ordered the restaurant's signature dish, tongdak (roasted chicken), but it was disappointingly dry and flavorless. While the pickled items were tasty, the portions were unreasonably small. It seems the restaurant benefits from good PR, but the food itself is overpriced and underwhelming.

Superb food and friendly service. Perfect

Reservado en la parte posterior de la recomendación en el libro Una guía de opinión de Bristol. Me alegro de que lo hicimos, pre-ordenó el pollo y tenía una ensalada y hojas junto. Delicioso y un montón para dos dejando espacio para la increíble cuchara suave casera (recomiendo las cerezas). El servicio fue excelente, amable y eficiente. Nada que lo culpe, volveremos.

The menu is a tight and crowd-pleasing selection of their favourite things. Tonight, this includes a classic soy-braised short rib dish, a non-meat alternative of tofu with king oyster mushrooms and greens, and a seabass special. We start with a plate of aromatic perilla leaves, wrapped around minced beef and pork, then deep fried in a lacy, fragile batter of hot, cheery crunch. These are god-tier snacks, little pockets of joy, to be eaten as quickly as possible from the deep fat fryer, which is easy because it’s only about 5ft away over there. Dip them in the accompanying sweetened soy and mourn them when they are gone. There is the sturdy Bokman salad made with layers of Chinese leaf, toasted pine nuts, heaps of sesame seeds and a healthy ballast of toasted seaweed, lending a seashore waft to the plate. A mini cauldron of fat-grained kimchi fried rice comes laid with a frilly-edged fried egg. You can have this with shards of roasted pork belly – and you know I was always going to.

We had the sharing starter plate and all the items were really chewy and hard. The chicken stuffed with rice was good but the whole fish was a not special. The service was great but it’s expensive for not top notch Korean on benches elbowing my neighbours.

Best Korean restaurant in Bristol. The food taste authentic like I'm actually in South Korea. It may be a bit more on the pricier side but I think its totally worth it! It's a smaller restaurant so I recommend booking a table beforehand as it does tend to get busy :) All dishes were perfect but I do highly recommend the banchan side dishes to compliment your main meals :)

He estado en Bokman antes y he tenido una buena experiencia, por lo que regresé y traje a mi familia. Esta vez fue el polo opuesto a la visita anterior. El servidor fue grosero, desdeñoso y lleno - cuerpo - nos golpeó a mí y a otro miembro de la familia de paso TRES veces sin palabra de disculpa o incluso un acuse de recibo. Nuestro plato principal había sido claramente olvidado porque la gente sentada a nuestro lado comió toda su comida durante nuestra espera. Cuando conseguimos la comida, se quemó en el fondo en dos platos. En general la comida era sin sabor. También es posible que desee tener en cuenta que los “chips de mantequilla de miel” son efectivo y llevan papas fritas saladas listas con mantequilla vertida sobre ellos. Este fue un error costoso que puedo asegurarle que NO se repetirá.

I couldn’t get a table the previous evening, but had their takeaway!!! And it worked better, I was in early and could sit outside before those tables got snapped up!!! Lucky me, because I did have a dinner date despite travelling solo 😂! The food tasted amazing: spicy, rich & flavourful! Of course I had the soft serve ice cream: the cherry version… why not?! Absolutely delightful. The service was quick, very courteous and I was presented with all steel cutlery, including chopsticks!!! Most place still dish out the single use version, which is annoying. Also, bonus starts for offering grown up non-alcoholic drinks: a delicious pre-biotic soda that was delicious and good for you! ⭐️💚💚💚💚💚⭐️

Can’t eve express how amazing their food is! Stopped by while on vacation with my husband, and I wished I lived in the area so I could keep coming here! Both menus are must try!

This is a Korean restaurant run by Koreans. All the food here is delicious, especially the Korean specialty ‘Tongdak’. I had the kimchi fried rice, which was the best kimchi fried rice I’ve had in the UK. Next time I visit Bristol, I’ll try other menus. The servers were very friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great. If you want Korean food, don’t hesitate and visit! Parking is available behind the restaurant! (It’s very crowded, so I recommend making a reservation in advance.)

This meal was exceptional. Not only was the food some of the best we’ve had in Bristol but the team at Bokman could not have been more accommodating about one of our party’s sunflower allergy, even changing the oil they used ahead of time. The way they went above and beyond for this was reflected throughout the evening. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Loved it! Went there to celebrate my birthday and I had a great time. Delicious food, slightly expensive but worth it.

Pequeño establecimiento, pequeño menú pero bien ejecutado. El pollo entero con lados era encantador. No grandes porciones pero suficientes. Vale la pena reservar para el fin de semana.

Great place and great service. Went for a celebratory dinner and it did not disappoint. So many good dishes. I want to go back to try the rest of the menu. Matcha tiramisu is a must!

Incredible food! Rammed on a Friday night so bit noisy but every dish punched with flavour and spice. Pretty unique cocktails - even one contained yakult so it's good for you as well as delicious. Staff were lovely and good arrived really quickly despite it being busy. Highly recommended!

We attended a special event/ collaboration here last night. All food was excellent and the service had a unique twist to it which we loved! Great atmosphere that reminded us of the south islands of Japan. Chicken was to die for!! It was coming off the bone just as it should; waiter explained the special cooking technique and open fire used at Bokmam. Oh and the home made lemonade was amazing too! Will be back for sure on a “normal” night to try out the regular menu!

Food is unbelievably delicious. Service was very attentive. Atmosphere is really lovely and relaxed but the space we had by the door was really quite hectic for me. I eat out sparingly and it's not cheap so it felt like a bit less of a special occasion because of that. I don't have lots of money so was a bit disappointed by that. But I loved being able to try so much absolutely delicious food. I'll come again for a special occasion but might ask for a seat downstairs instead or away from the door at least.

Love love Bokman, such a hidden gem. The food is always so tasty and always end up trying something new. I'd recommend going In the evening as some dishes like the sashimi and chicken were not available for lunch. The soft serve with honey butter chips was such a fun desert but the matcha tiramisu has my heart.

Cramped and the seating wasn't comfortable, plus the food wasn't great. The staff were really helpful and nice explaining what you're ordering in detail .

Top service, korean with a twist. The roast chicken is a must try and the bibimbab was unique. Very friendly staff who reminded us of over ordering rice dishes.

Amazing amazing food! We had the tongdak and it was unreal , the sauces are delishhh!! The matcha tiramisu was one of the best desserts ive had in bristol!!!

…this place has been hyped up for a while now and whilst the seemingly high footfall is heart warming to see you can already see standards beginning to slip as demand picks up. The service was impersonal, a touch cold and they were clearly trying to turn the tables over as quick as they can. My oysters were frozen / had big chunks of ice in, but they kindly wavered these off the bill. The chicken stuffed with rice was original and delicious, but the short rib was a touch fatty and not rendered down like you’d expect. I was surprised how unclean the place was, which again is probably down to not being able to handle the demand. Left somewhat disappointed but would give it another chance.

Food is okay. However, when considering the tables and atmosphere and typical rivals, it's unnecessarily expensive.

Absolutely amazing!!! One of the best dinners I’ve had. We had most dishes from the menu and all were amazing. My particular favourite being the slow cooked chicken stuffed with rice! Would highly recommend and would definitely go again

We had a great meal here, it was already super busy when we booked early in the week for Friday night. We shared all of our dishes, we thoroughly enjoyed the mixed pickles which I think was the star of the show. The stuffed peppers were amazing too. We had big plates, stuffed chicken which was nice and the beef stew which had wonderfully cooked beef and amazing oyster mushrooms. The desserts were amazing too. Selection of drinks was good, it felt like good value for a great meal.

Best Korean food i’ve had in the UK. Made with love ♥️

We found this place while visiting Bristol by chance and were lucky to get a table (well high chairs on the bar)... So I recommend booking! We had the rotisserie chicken stuffed with rice and seasonal pickles and mini side plates... Everything was quite tasty but for me it wasn't Korean enough - almost everything was on the sweet side- even the radish, which I expected to be more spicy with a bit of a gochujang kick... Still tho, I'll go back next time I'm in Bristol!

£85 for 2 small plates and 2 'large plates'.. massively overpriced

Lovely food. Glorious pickles and kimchi. Fabulous chicken thing. Enjoy......

Lovely experience all round. Friendly staff, delicious food and intimate, cosy atmosphere. Very considerate and inclusive when it comes to allergies/intolerances (gluten free for me). When you book in advance there's an option to forwarn making it really easy. Highlights were all the delicious Korean drinks they had to offer, and the soft serve ice-cream with boba topping. Thank you for making an anniversary dinner very special!

We had a fantastic night at Bokman. Staff were super helpful, explaining the menu and giving suggestions. We had the rum and kombucha cocktails, and they did not disappoint. The pickle platter was fab, with delicious baby mushrooms in some kind of soy concoction and spicy gochugang green beans. The beef rib main was epic, it just fell off the bone. And the chilli and fried pork starter was enormous. Still had room for the delicious cherry soft serve. We had such a great night and thought the food was really reasonable too. Definitely recommend!!

Amazing food, really authentic and incredible flavours. The waitress downstairs last night was so kind and attentive, highly recommend for a delicious meal with a great atmosphere

Amazing korean food and exceptional service.

Absolute taste sensation, would recommend getting an early table as it fills up quickly! Walk ins were being turned away so definitely best to book ahead. Authentic Korean food and drinks and very delicious 👌 can get a good variety for £30pp but expect to spend more!

One of my favorite restaurants, been there 4 times now and more to come! Love the food, service all very well thoughtful 🥰😍

This gem of a spot might be on the smaller side, but it's all charm, so you'll want to book ahead to dodge the bummer of it being packed out. It's the perfect place for bringing a friend or two since the menu's all about sharing – think choosing a main and then piling on the sides, both big and small plates. I went with a buddy, and let me tell you, deciding what to order was no easy feat because everything sounded amazing. We ended up with the beef short rib and kimchi rice, which were just bursting with flavours and spices – so good! We had our eyes on the chicken and some other sides too but didn't get around to them, so guess what? We're already plotting our comeback to tackle the other half of the menu we didn't get to. This place shot up to the top of my go-to list real quick; it's that good.

First time at Bokman and trying Korean food. The reviews are generally excellent and from my perspective it was good but not outstanding. We had a number of dishes including the chicken, fried rice, and a number of Kimchi dishes. Whilst all were not to my taste, the quality was good. It’s quite a small place and they have seated areas and benches with high seating, personally, I wouldn’t go unless you can get proper seats. Service was excellent, super friendly and helpful chap who served us, we were next to the kitchen and at times it was incredibly hot so if you can get a seat away from the kitchen I would recommend. Prices were fair, we had a beer each and 5 dishes to share (big and small) and it came to £40. Overall not bad, just not quite as good as u had hoped for.

Outstanding! Amazing tastes from dishes I've never had before. Every dish was great. The staff were really helpful and wanted to ensure you had a good. Cutlery is in the drawer of the table in case you get confused and write a bad review s a result

I can’t believe I just found this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious. The Tongdak was stunning and the oyester kimchi was a unique, delicious appetizer! The service was great and I’ve told all my friend this is a must eat in Bristol.

Superb, cool cosy vibe if you get seated downstairs. We pre ordered a roast chicken last minute has we heard about it - a must in my opinion! All the other food was great, nice to try something different in Bristol 👌 all staff super friendly, all in all a great spot for some Korean food! (Matcha tiramisu a must try also)!

Really really good food. The stuffed peppers were unreal. Very happy with the service, the manager made some great recommendations which we enjoyed and right level of attentiveness. Will be back next time im in Bristol! The prebiotic soda thing was nice.

there was a crackhead, people said food was delivered really quickly but ours never did. i was asked what shade of yellow i was

Really enjoyed all the scran here, and was pleasantly surprised to see they had fresh wasabi which is very rare.

A really nice intimate venue. Interesting food options at a reasonable price. The yuzu lemonade is next level.

A mixed review. I went for dinner here with a friend and we were told twice from arriving to sitting down that we only had the table for 1hr 30. We were then reminded 20 mins before our time was up and offered dessert whilst still in the midst of mains. Unfortunately this tarnished what would have been a perfect evening. The food is delicious and we’d recommend the stuffed chicken and the boba ice cream for dessert. Sitting downstairs was very cramped and I only had a small stool. More comfortable seating and a tiny bit more space would also improve the dining experience. I remain unsure if I’d recommend to a friend.

Superb meal, everything about the restaurant is homely, welcoming and warm. And the food was fantastic for the price, a must go to in Bristol!

After hearing all the hype about Bokman we expected it to be a quirky, unique and fun restaurant. So, we decided to book a table for a birthday treat. I’d like to list some of our experiences; Overcrowded We knew it was a small restaurant but it was full from corner to corner with tables. We felt squished and uncomfortable with the seating. The menu isn’t visible People are either sat in front of the menu on the wall or it is simply too dark to read. The place was dirty and unkept The floors were greasy. The bathroom felt dirty and the pipes were dripping with condensation. A constant smell of burnt fat. Don’t get me started on the fruit flies The lighting is too dark - you can’t even see your food. The food was nice but it was spoiled by the timings of service. We weren’t told that food comes when it is ready. We felt unprepared and hungry while waiting for our meals. The starters came at the same time as the mains which defeats the purpose of even having a starter. Call it a side dish! The food coming when it is ready is not a problem but they should be served in the same sitting, not once everyone else has finished their food. This needs to be explained or be better thought out. The Bokman salad was our favourite dish. The matcha tiramisu was delicious. No cutlery, chopsticks or napkins We arrived to a bare table which remained bare even when are food arrived. We are more than fine getting our own cutlery when we know where it is but this wasn’t mentioned. We had to constantly ask for cutlery with no awareness from the waitress. They don’t have knives which made it hard to eat the whole chicken or the fish. After the meal we were left with unpleasant sticky hands with nothing to clean them with. There’s a difference between informal and unwelcome. The service made us few unwelcome and unwanted. The waitress looked bored and forgot at least 1 item each time we ordered. The only time she seemed happy was once the bill came and the service charge added. All of these problems wouldn’t be so bad if the restaurant hadn’t been so expensive. The restaurant is overpriced. The drinks are far too expensive! The dishes were too expensive for what we received and we weren’t left satisfied. We couldn’t see the bill properly and the service charge felt like a sneaky percentage but what would we know we couldn’t even read the bill in the dark. There is a fine line between cool casual dinning and poor service delivered with overpriced food and the feeling of needing a wipe down.

Service was great and staff were really friendly but the food was quite forgettable. Nothing really wrong with the dishes, they were all beautifully presented, but it lacked in flavour and interest. The atmosphere was bustling and had a good vibe.

Great, inventive food, good quality

Excellent service! Food portions are very good sizes. The Tongdak (chicken with stuffed rice) - highly recommended, as is the homemade soft serve with honey butter chips. Small place, but great atmosphere. Staff are extremely polite, professional and attentive. Food slightly expensive - but worth it ! Highly recommended

We loved everything about this place. The Tongdak chicken was so delicious we both kept exclaiming how good it was! Every dish was great - really nice cocktails. Really relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Lovely small, intimate, casual restaurant. Food was incredible. A great mix of tasty authentic Korean food with some quirky, inspired additions. So pleased I came here.

We ordered the seasonal pickles, Galbi Stew (beef), Tongdak (chicken), Doenjang Stew (cockles) and finished with Chestnut tiramisu. Well presented, delicious dishes with attentive service... we will return.

This visit to Bokman was a mixed bag. On the (very!) good side: - The anju drinking snacks were fun and allowed us to nibble whilst choosing our mains - The beef stew and the kimchee fried rice were both absolutely delicious, and the rice tasted fairly Korean - The service was friendly and warm, despite the issues (see below) On the less good side: - The building isn’t appropriate for the meal prices. Some of the tables are lovely, but others are tiny counters next to a condensation streaked window. We refused our first “table” - a counter by the door on a sub zero evening (despite booking a couple of weeks in advance). I wasn’t prepared to spend £100+ on a meal whilst sitting uncomfortably. - We ordered a tempura chili dish because we both like spice. It was inedible - some of the chillis were like birds’ eyes. We understand that chili vary in heat, but this could have been avoided by the kitchen trying a small amount of each before cooking. It knocked my tastebuds for the rest of the meal. - The wine is extortionate. I do think Bokman is worth a visit, but I wouldn’t expect perfection.

By far the best Korean food I have had in the UK so far! Very nice little cosy restaurant with an authentic menu and great service. I definitely recommend

Love it in bokman, we have been multiple times since it first opened, food quality always excellent and always something new and interesting on the menu, however the galbi stew is a firm favourite. The prices have gone up a little but it is still reasonable for the great food and atmosphere and in line with similar in bristol. Dont miss out on the matcha tiramisu !!

Food was ok nothing special. Overpriced, the quantity of the food doesn’t even enough for 1 person. The waitress told us the food was the sharing size so we were aware it was gonna be big but .. yeah even one person couldn’t feel full. The service was great, staffs are friendly. The seats and tables are very limited and the restaurant is tiny. My friend and I got a table outside, the view was nice but it was raining. I suggest to reserve the table in advance. I don’t think I’d visit again due to the small portion, overpriced and the food wasn’t that special.

Super delicious, best Korean food in Bristol

The service was good although they do try and upsell (always recommending the two most expensive dishes). They say the "smaller" plates wont be enough for a main but they will with some rice on the side. The food is good but I do think it is a little overpriced. I would recommend peppers, the chicken wings were also good. The galbi stew is nice but would recommend sharing as a table as too expensive for one person. The tiramisu is not a tiramisu.

Amazing Korean food and good drinks. Service was excellent too.

One of my best foodie experiences in Bristol, if not the best one. Serves dishes that are well thought throughout and you won't be able to get them elsewhere in the city. We enjoyed it so much!

A beautiful little restaurant, the food is wonderful.

Beautifully crafted authentic Korea food from best quality ingredients! Specially love the pickles, mushrooms stone bowl and beef stew!

It was very delicious.The service was also kind and pleasant.It was so much fun that I immediately made a reservation for Friday and will go eat with my daughter's family.

The evening me and my partner spent at Bokman was perfect. We decided to get several small plates from across the menu and share it all. Lovely friendly service, balanced menu that clearly showcases the skill of their kitchen team with a lot of care that goes into the process of creating their menu. All of our food was beautiful, decent portion sizes and full of flavour. Mind was blown by a soft serve dessert! Great energy in the restaurant with the open kitchen, and casual dining experience when sat outside under their awning. Such a gem of a spot in the Bristol food scene!

Outstanding- We loved the food, service and the atmosphere. A well thought through menu and wine list complimented the quality of service. A real treat

We were sat downstairs. It’s cosy not claustrophobic. Helpful waitress explained the food. Had read about the stuffed chicken so had that and a beef dish that melted in the mouth. The chicken was amazing. The pickles fantastic. Charming place. You can get delicious wine if you ask.

Incredible meal here last week. Shared a the whole chicken, spare rib beef and spicy monkfish which were all amazing. Can’t wait to go back.

We ordered the Galbi beef short rib, cold buckwheat noodles, kimchi fried rice topped with an egg, Banchan and matcha tiramisu. This is the best meal I’ve had in Bristol in a while…I felt like everything was made with love. The side dishes were not the main star but I feel I could definitely devour them with a bowl of rice. The Galbi beef short rib was absolutely delicious, definitely my favourite with how soft the beef was. Staff were very nice and had some good recommendations, Im glad we followed them. Will definitely come back.

I have been reading about this place and was so excited to try their food-ordered takeaway and am not sure what the hype is about. Ordered the whole chicken stuffed with rice, the tongdak. For £19 I expected a regular sized chicken, instead the tiniest chicken that I have ever seen arrived, it was more like a poussin or Cornish game hen. This tiny chicken contained about a tablespoon and a half of rice. The rice was tasty but not really flavourful. The sauces were nice and the pickles were tasty but I struggled to get a mouthful of chicken that did not contain teeny tiny bones...😞 after wresting through a plate of tiny bones, I was excited for dessert and ordered the matcha tiramisu, the matcha was a nice addition and the marscapone was lovely but the ladyfingers underneath were bone dry as they had missed the soaking in coffee step. Having enjoyed lots of Korean BBQ in NYC was excited by authentic Korean food here in Bristol-and it looks like I’ll have to wait a little longer. A larger chicken for £19 is definitely needed!
