spacious, with a covered alfresco area.

the Nagasaki-style spicy Korean noodles (HK$198). Yuk hwe (HK$250) was a huge portion of hand-sliced raw beef with a dressing that was a bit heavy on the sesame oil and garlic. The naeng myun (HK$100) — cold buckwheat noodles in an icy broth — were tart and refreshing.

super-friendly, accommodating service.

it's not often I offer criticism in an effort to help a restaurant succeed, but the staff here are so nice that I'm hoping for the best: they should delete at least half the items from the menu, then proofread it to ensure it's accurate. The nakji bokkuem (HK$250) — stir-fried octopus with spicy sauce — was listed on one part of the menu as having noodles, but in another part, didn't mention noodles. The waiter said it came with noodles, but it didn't. The worst mistranslation was one of our favourite dishes — the Nagasaki-style spicy Korean noodles (as translated in English and Chinese), or, as the Korean romanisation called, it Nagasaki jjam bbong (the alternative spelling, champon, is a noodle dish). The problem was, it had neither spice nor noodles, and we were so confused we talked to the manager, who said the menu was at fault (but the photo also showed noodles). It was delicious, though, with a rich pork soup and lots of seafood. Their versions of Korean fried chicken (we tried two for HK$170) didn't have much flavour, and the so-called spicy one wasn't. The seafood pancake (HK$130) was thick and doughy.

If they served better food, we'd come back again for the friendly welcome.
