    This place has been open a couple of months now, but they seem to have changed and gotten really…read moreodd. They use a cartoon image of Psy (Gangnam Style) in their advertising. I don't get the connection besides them both being Korean. I've been previously and really enjoyed the lunch specials. I went again and everything was just not quite right. Cold fried egg, dry rice, wet lettuce leaves. Our waiter had a pretty offensive shirt on but I think he was oblivious to it's real meaning. An unfortunate cultural gap. He also hovered around us uncomfortably and we couldn't help but laugh as he stood a meter away from our table and watched us eat, because we weren't ready for him to clear our table just yet. It's a great space, but this is a really basic/weird experience. I probably won't be back.

(As I'm an Australian for 34years) It was very unusual and we hoped that the food wasn't as terrible as the service, but i was wrong. The food was a bit cold and seemed a little off to me and my wife?.. It had a weird smell from the meat and the vegetables weren't cooked properly. As I'm giving two stars, I believe that is a generous response after my horrible unusual experience. And the venue was previously placed as a Japanese restaurant, which was my favourite in Newcastle, but now that it's gone and replaced by a restaurant which doesn't approve a nice and fair meal or service, we are devastated! And they mainly use most of the former restaurant's appliances and cutleries. I'm now in tears thinking about it... I don't want to come back and won't really recommend this place unless you love gangnam style and psy's animated cartoonish stickers on the windows which I found very unprofessional(?) Bad experience.
