We were a group of 11 mixed Spanish and English speaker who visited on Sat 30th of September. The restaurant is compact, has a nice ambiance and filled with the aromas of delicious Korean food. Although the kitchen became a little overwhelmed with the number of dinners coming all at once (a couple of other large groups came in too) the staff were polite and courteous and above all the standard of the food was excellent.
Fantastic food, flavour was spot on, great service will be visiting again.

Absolutely divine. Food was really great. First time in here and I was impressed. Every thing is freshly made, so a little wait but we'll worth it. Will be going again, as everything sounds and smells amazing.
Only slight downside is that it's cash or bank transfer only and the place is quite small but cozy with friendly staff.
Best Korean Food in town! Been there so many times and I’ve loved it EVERY SINGLE TIME! Love their cheesy tteokbokki
Unassuming and by far the best Korean food I've had in the UK. Service was fast despite only having one server. Think he adopted the "ppalli ppalli" Korean work culture 😂 would definitely recommend and return. Only one small downside is that there may be waiting times due to small restaurant capacity, but this time we were lucky we didn't have to. Pay by either cash or bank transfer.
Four of us went, me for the first time trying Korean food and We were not disappointed! The service here is excellent, everyone is so friendly, the food came out quite quickly and tasted fresh and delicious, definitely recommend this place! A hidden Gem 💎 the atmosphere is good with varied cutlery, nothing was too much trouble. Definitely get the cheesy tteobokki!
Absolutely amazing food. Very authentic Korean food. A must try restaurant. The only downside is waiting time as there was only 1 waiter trying to serve 7 or 8 tables. But I can stand it as the food was amazing.
The meal was freshly prepared, the restaurant very clean, the service polite and the food very tasty. However the payment method was cash or bank transfer only luckily my friend brought cash with her.
Free condiments of pickled lemon and seaweed were brought out first with the very large pot of tea. Oh I tried rice tea for the first time and it complimented the meal perfectly.
The food came out sizzling be careful when delving to the bottom of the bowl the food is extremely hot 🔥 my spicy beef soup tasted great lots of veg but lacked beef! There were only a few mouthfuls . Normally in Asian soups they pack the soup with meat. So this was a little disappointing as i was hungry. But overall the food was filling and tasted great!
Absolutely delicious food. I have tried a few dishes in South Korea and this place matched it. Will definitely go back to try more.
Excellent food, a really unique restaurant experience that you can't get elsewhere in Leicester. Fantastic flavours. The only downside is that service can be a little slow, 40 min or so the last time we ordered. And it's cash only at the time being.

Delicious authentic Korean food. Well I say authentic, I've no idea really whether it is or isn't, but it's like this; imagine your mum or auntie was Korean, and you wanted. Some nice warming spicy Korean food. Well you'd go to Onggi.
The staff are friendly and speak perfect English. The menu is varied with plenty of choice. The TV screens show pictures of food which helps you decide to order everything and have a feast!
There are only two downsides: its cash only, so get some out before you go, and; no alcohol is served. Would love to try some Korean beer!
My partner and I tried to go to Onggi several times, but each time the queue was right out the door. When we did get in, it was easy to understand why it was so busy. The food is absolutely incredible and there is such a variety of it. It isn’t a big place, so therefore struggles to meet demands. Service can sometimes be slow but the food is definitely worth it. They don’t accept card payments yet (Jan 2019)
