"Simple, but such an effective idea. great mood. they use it as a main or simple as a desert place as we did. cheese, meat, bread and wine alcohol. unreal! choose the size of their plate, 6, 10 or more combinations of cheese and meat or go for a meal platter with cake and other tasty options. they offer 'flights' that allow them to three types of wein (the same type), whiskys, ports etc. to go with the food. huge selection of cheese, smoked and camembert as personal favorite, but so many to choose. friendly staff to help them get the food and drink their mouthwater for when they're in there."

"Ordered a £35 vegan birthday cake. Not only did it not have any decoration it had unpleasant thick vegan buttercream on top and in the middle of a tasteless ginger sponge. Of the 10 people who had a slice, no-one enjoyed it, including my vegan husband who will normally eat anything. Refunded half the cost but it was a time-consuming and costly exercise ordering, collecting then having to find something to decorate it with at the 11th hour. The only thing that was eaten was the crystallised ginger I’d put on top. Very disappointing"

"This restaurant exceeded our expectations which was tough given we’d already read its reviews. From a very passionate and friendly host to exceptional food, we will definitely be returning soon. My friend, who has enjoyed many a vegan/vegetarian meal in his life, said the burger was easily the tastiest burger he’s tasted! I had the chicken, leek and tarragon pie with a side of the truffled triple cooked chips "

"My hubby and I had lunch here on Wednesday 7th June 2023 at 12.10-12.50... It was quiet when we arrived. We enjoyed all dishes. Spicy Pork Dub Bap and Bibim bap are to die for (8.90 each with rice and veg). Bento Set is 11.60 with choice of chicken/beef/pork served with rice, Hot Crispy Chicken Ball, Chicken Wings, Gyoza amd some veg. Self service soft drinks are 1.50 each. Best Asian restaurant in Bournemouth. Yummy, fresh, reasonably priced, great hospitality, good portions, cozy atmosphere with 4 tables for eat in. Only 10 minute walk from Oceanarium, Bournemouth Beach. Will definitely come back again. Love this family run restaurant. Highly recommended"
