Really nice food and HMC halal too. Loved the fried chicken. Service was excellent and the place and cooking is done in hygienic conditions. The quality was good , The first time I tried Korean food. Prices are a bit expensive, especially the soft drinks. The corn dog was very good .

I have tried many korean restaurants in the UK, and this is the only one I know that is full halal. The food tastes homemade and is of excellent quality and authenticity, a must visit if you are in Birmingham!

Lovely lady and the counter..very quick service and I would say the fried chicken was hot and the sauce very zingy, still I would give it a 3/5 because the chicken was quite chewy and it appeared as if it was half fried earlier in the day and then fried again before serving..I would give 3.5/5 to the bibimbap, it could've been a lil warmer, the beef bulgogi was flavourful but a lil sinewy, the gochujang sauce was tasty as well adding a depth of flavour to the bibimbap..it all worked well in combination, Worth a try..!

I went here for lunch today. I have wanted to visit since they opened. Unsure if the people working today were a couple but the lady was very friendly and helpful. The chef was polite and said hello as they wasn't busy I selected the beef Japchae. This dish was delicious. The noodles were thicker then other vermicelli I have had before but almost transparent and very nice. I cannot wait to return and try more of the dishes available. Would highly recommend.

The owners are so cute and wholesome! Korean Fried Chicken and Tteokboki were 10/10. I always buy a portion of kimchi to takeaway because it is so fresh! Much better than any of the pre-packaged ones you find at the store. Would definitely recommend visiting if you're in the city centre and looking for a hidden gem 💎

I visited on a late afternoon, so it was very quite. I got served immediately. The owners were friendly and the food was comforting. I got the Chicken Katsu, the sauce was very rich and tasty but I wasn't a fan of the chicken as I found it slightly chewy. Bur overall was very nice and I would like to try other things on the menu

I've been searching for a good Korean chicken restaurant for soo long and I came across this place in Birmingham. The food is amazing, especially the KFC. The service is immaculate and the people at the restaurant are kind and welcoming. It feels like eating at the house of someone you know, really peaceful and calm environment as opposed to a busy restaurant. It was soo good I had to go for seconds. 10/10 would recommend.

right this place is definetely overratted, fair enough they need the money as its so dead but pricing microwaved food at £8 is extortion and adding a orange cheese slice ontop for £1.50 was not what i was expecting. its just over priced for what they serve. i also tried their cheese corndog which has 10% cheese in there the rest was batter again that was £5.90 ...

A bit of a hit and miss, truth be told Ordered the following items... ramyeon noodles with egg, corndog, chicken katsu curry and yangyum( chibab) The ramyeon noodles tasted delicious, chicken katsu curry was alright taste wise, yangyum wasn't to my liking unfortunately, also got some bong bong drinks which tasted nice. So all in all a mixed review, like I always say everyones taste buds differ and opinions are different and this is my opinion

It would be easy for me to say that this establishment has some of the best Korean food I’ve ever had the luck of trying. But I’d be lying if I said anything else. On multiple occasions I’m drawn to it’s down to earth and heart warming owners, who serve diligently and with great speed considering it’s just the two of them, as well as the food which contains an authentic Korean flavour, filled with layers of flavour I dare say you cannot get elsewhere. Favourites being the Yangyeom Chibab & Kimchi Pancake, both of which I’m more than happy to pay the price for because of how heart warming the meal is. Truly one of my favourite places to escape during my lunch break. 감사합니다!

My 2nd time going to this place. Last time was when they were at the old place. Was sad when they were closed, and was waiting for it to open up again. I ordered Korean kimchi pancakes (Jeon in Korean), cheese Toppoki, Bong Bong grape juice (nice, but it's a small can.) Highly recommend both food items. The cheese Toppoki was a little spicy, just the way I like it, and the cheese balances it out. I was using the tomato Topokki tomato sauce with the pancake tho, bcuz it tasted better with that than it did with the Soy sauce that they gave. Next time, I would like to try the Bulgogi Kim Bab (korean beef sushi), and hot dog aswell. Halal korean food in city centre, affordable prices, good customer service, small and cozy. Highly recommend this place.♥️

I went to the first location for Mr Slim in Moseley and loved the food and the lady explaining the cuisine and culture to us. She was pleasant and welcoming. Then they moved to Digbeth and I went there again and saw the same happy lady serving food. Now they’re closer to central town and I sincerely hope they find success here as they serve nice clean food and are lovely people. I went on the first opening day and gave a box of chocolates as well as I followed them on Instagram for a while and felt close to Mr Slim for about 4 years, give or take. Same tasty food and full HMC now which is great as there aren’t many fully halal Korean places.

Was following Mr Slim on Instagram eagerly awaiting their opening and it was so worth the visit. Easy to find, conveniently located, especially if you work in Birmingham City Centre, and run by a lovely welcoming Korean family. The food was quick to be served and absolutely delicious and excellent quality - the kimchi was so fresh (go for the bigger portion, you can take the rest home). The price is exceptionally reasonable - you won't find anyone that can compete with their prices. The food is easy to take away if you need to - an attention to detail that I really appreciate and don't see other places doing. Overall very satisfied and it exceeded my expectations. Will gladly becoming back.

Mr Slim Korean food is unbelievable! Their food was DELICIOUS and the service was IMPECCABLE! When the wife noticed we maybe k-culture consumers, she even engaged with us and used common phrases we were familiar with. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING plus it’s HALAL! Note: their current location has another guy who owns a Japanese place called Waterss. beware of that guy. He repeatedly tried to sabotage Mr Slim by saying their food isn’t halal. People like that are shady.

I must have walked past without noticing 100 times... My go-to post-parkrun breakfast cafe is closed for Ramadan so I asked Google and it suggested Castle Snacks. I had the £7.50 large breakfast (note TWO slices of toast and a large hash brown not pictured. Tea or coffee included if you are eating "in") and sat in (just ?two? seats inside). Proper value and tasty. This place appears to run on repeat business - a stream of folks coming in for sandwiches - everyone seems to be a regular and gets a personalised greeting. This location is very much a provider of traditional British snacks - a million miles from Moreton-in-the-Marsh and it's £15 for smashed avocado on sourdough - As Arnie said "I'll be back"
