During my last stay i found this place and i can say we had a nice experience. The concept is nice and easy...you get a barbecue on your table and raw meat. The meat was tender and we had a choice of chicken, beef and pork. The owner was so nice and he did all he could to make us happy, very friendly host! For dessert i had Banana Flambe with sake. At the time of our visit, the price was 18€/person and include all you can eat meat, rice and noodles. Worth paying a visit!
Tout simplement une expérience culinaire incroyable ! Pour commencer, le gérant est un véritable amour : à l’écoute, super intéressant et d’une gentillesse incroyable. La viande est d’une qualité rarement vue, elle fond littéralement dans la bouche, avec une marinade absolument exquise. Les accompagnements sont parfaits, félicitations à la cuisinière ! La petite terrasse est hyper conviviale. Je recommande à 10000 %, foncez les yeux fermés !
Excellent accueil de proximité comme a la maison, avec une cuisine faite par la patronne. Des produits frais et savoureux. Le barbecue coréen est un pure moment convivial. Le cadre intime permet de savourer le repas en toute quiétude et la terrasse est particulièrement agréable. Nous recommandons vivement le new colonial pour son ambiance familiale et chaleureuse avec un grand choix de plats asiatiques
