"Excellent service we finally found an amazing Korean food place to eat in Ipswich. It is located right in the middle of the food court at riverlink we tried out most of the menu. We ordered the tteokbokki and rice if you like spicy food. Good after the pub. The 3 cup set menu $20 definitely worth it. Garlic soy chicken - beautifully sweet and crunchy (my favourite would definitely uber eats this), fish cake skewers suit dipping in tteokbokki sauce lovely addition, rice - nice sticky glutinous, we also tried the veggie tempura, Korean hot dog have dusted in sugar was amazing (daughter's favourite), seaweed roll tastes really good like sushi, hot chips and sauce (young kids fav), fried mandoo nice crisp outside and tender inside lovely strong flavours in this menu we thoroughly enjoyed our food will definitely bring my family again."

"As a single household I am very glad they have a cup combo which I can get two different menu. Serving portion is pretty generouse (they sell bonless chicken with actual meat. If someone says it is too pricy they might never had one before). For the taste I can guarantee you it is very authentic korean taste. There are only a few places in ipswich for korean food, so I wish this hidden gem could stay for a long time."

"It tastes the same as the one I ate in Korea! The boss and the staff were so kind. Tteokbokki and Dakgangjeong are not very spicy and children can eat them easily. I highly recommend it"

"Came back because I loved the tteokbokki last time and it was just as amazing! The owner is incredibly kind and even gave me sweet and sour pork and a slushie for free which was such a nice surprise. The tteokbokki has that authentic old school Korean street food flavor hands down the best I have had in Brisbane so far. If you visit, you will know what I mean ,the tiger in the shop looks exactly like the owner ! This place is a true hidden gem. Highly recommend if you are craving real Korean comfort food! 진짜 존맛탱 맛집입니다. 대박나세요!"
