If you tire of pizza and pasta, and long for some fresh, nutritious, exciting cuisine, this is the place to go.

The service was attentive and charming, and although the dishes look pricey, you get loads of side dishes and even fresh pineapple for dessert included. Arrive hungry, don't order more than one dish to start with, or you will be overwhelmed!

A party of Korean tourists were eating there when we visited, always a good sign.

We arrived late for lunch, but were graciously received, and I was very impressed when at the end of the service the boss came outside where we were sitting, and invited all the staff for a drink. When I commented on this to the waitress, she said her boss was fantastic - how many restaurant staff would say that?

Happy staff, happy customers - do your taste buds a favour and try this wonderful place for yourself.

I went there the first time last week and I must admit that I really liked it. Each of us had a different kind of noodles so that we could try from each other. In addition they served us some side dishes like kimchi, potatoes and beans which were all very delicious.
It's not very cheap but there portions are abundant.

The vegetarian rice rolls I ordered contained crab sticks or as the staff said beautiful "fruit de mer" Wich it by no standard is, and especialy not if you dont eat meat! The staff was also quite rude, hardly spoke a word english and for some reason thought that a woman buying liquor was moraly wrong. Stay away if you you dont like meat or if your a woman that likes a drink.

There is only one word to describe I-Gio: excellent. I have been there numerous times, and every time the food is fantastic, and the service is wonderful. The only downside to this restaurant is they close at 10pm which is very strange in Italy (as most people don't get dinner till around 9:00). Nonetheless, this restaurant is not to be missed. I highly recommend their bim bim bap and spicy pork. To die for.

I convinced my friends to visit this restaurant after a wonderful trip to South Korea couple weeks back. I loved Korean food and could not resist the temptation. All my friends really liked the food and were grateful for dragging them there. Unfortunately, if you're just back from that country and looking for some authentic Korean food - this is not the place. It closes quite early as already at 10 pm we were the last guests and you could see they are waiting for us to leave soon.
