First visit. The interior gives the impression of cherry blossoms in full bloom. There are a lot of girls, with four middle-aged men standing out. - Makgeolli: Sweet and easy to drink - Appetizers: Pickled onions, radish kimchi - Chanja: Goes well with tofu - Seafood pancake: Lots of seafood and delicious - Kelanmari: Egg roll, eat with ketchup - Tteokbokki: Korean rice cakes, all deliciously spicy. Similar flavors. The staff on the floor are always smiling and soothing. (August 2023)

While I was thinking about what to eat, I saw a lunch sign and decided to go in. Inside, they were playing what seemed to be a live video of BTS's RM, and I was the only male customer among a group of female customers. The staff were friendly and even gave me a drink ticket with a "please come again" message. I want to try a different menu next time.

Visited the restaurant for the first time with my K-POP loving friends♡ The neon decorations, cherry blossoms on the ceiling, and multiple monitors made every seat enjoyable. The interior was beautiful as it was a new store. The chairs were comfortable with cushioned seats. The dishes were all good with generous portions, but the Kim Mari and Chijimi were especially delicious! The female staff members were either extremely unfriendly or very nice, with a bit more friendly service making the experience even better. I would like to visit this restaurant again^^＊

I recently watched "Itaewon Class" and wanted to visit a similar restaurant, so I looked it up and found one with similar vibes based on reviews. The overall atmosphere is very Instagrammable! I ordered Kimbap, Jeon, and Jjigae. Be careful, everything is quite spicy (lol). Personally, my favorite was the Jjigae!

I finally got to go after knowing about it from the opening! The interior of the restaurant had a vibe that felt like it could be in a Korean drama, with K-POP music videos playing continuously and many young female customers. I noticed that the girls either have small appetites or the portions were large, as they left a lot of food uneaten and took it home. I thought it would be good if there were half-size options for all the menu items. The dishes were all delicious, especially the boiled squid and the pure tofu stew! However, the air conditioning was too strong, causing the food to cool down quickly, and I also thought it would be nice to have knee blankets for customers even in the summer, so I deducted one star.

I was invited to a certain event and when I arrived, I was surprised to see the special guest, a beautiful reviewer named "M Jenne" whom I had crossed paths with many times on Tabelog. It was nice to finally meet her in person and we had a great time chatting. The restaurant was a Korean izakaya with a lot of authentic and casual Korean dishes. Personally, I really enjoyed the cheese jjimmy that was grilled on a burner, as the cheese had a rich and delicious flavor. Overall, the restaurant had a youthful vibe and was perfect for young people.

Drunken chicken soup♪ At meal times, chicken is often encountered in fried dishes, but I was happy to be able to eat it in a healthier and more medicinal cuisine style at the Korean izakaya YOI Sapporo Kotoni branch. I had quite a few refills and enjoyed some drinks. The drink quality was okay, not bad. The food and background music gave off a lively Korean izakaya vibe. They were willing to accommodate requests, so the lively K-POP music that's popular now was played. The customers were mostly young and the atmosphere was lively and energetic. The appetizer was crispy biscuits and a non-traditional potato salad. The half-and-half table-cooked pancake was loaded with cheese, making it rich and oily. The namul side dish was light with bean sprouts, spinach, and bracken fern. The tomato salad was healthy with tomatoes and lettuce. The chapchae stir-fried glass noodles with vegetables and meat had a distinct chapchae flavor. The all-you-can-drink drink option for a coin was attractive, and although the food was a bit pricey, it was substantial. Even with the food restrictions, it seems reasonable to come with a moderate number of people for dining and drinking.

I was attracted by the 500 yen all-you-can-drink promotion for the grand opening, so I decided to give it a try. Each person was limited to one food item. The spacious interior was nice, with plenty of seating and room to move around. Although they didn't offer makgeolli for the all-you-can-drink option, they did have beer available. The Korean dishes were quite filling and most of them were priced at over 1000 yen. There were set menus available, but most of them consisted of fried foods, which might be a bit heavy for those who are not young. The samgyetang was tasty, but I wish it had a bit less broth and fat. It was yellow instead of white. The japchae had thin noodles, which was not my preference. The half and half potato cheese jeon with bulgogi and buldak had a nice texture and was generously topped with cheese. We also had namul and tomato salad. I wanted to try samgyeopsal, but the portion size was too large for just two people. The kimbap that was served to another table looked delicious. When I entered, they were playing a soft, moody song reminiscent of Yon-sama, but when I asked, they changed it to more upbeat, modern idol music. The visuals on the monitor were definitely better with the new music. I believe this restaurant is a sister store of Shinmatsu. It seems like Kotoni is becoming a Korean town. Thank you for the meal! ♬

We enjoyed a February open-style restaurant with our friends who love Korea. The interior of the restaurant is predominantly black, truly resembling a basement. Yet, it is filled with pink flowers. The menu is extensive! I was surprised by the variety of Korean dishes available. We ordered: Tomato Salad for 750 yen, Japchae for 800 yen, Half & Half Jeon for 1600 yen, Samgyetang for 1980 yen, Namul Assortment for 600 yen, Chamisul, beer, highball, and more. We had a lively drinking session with five people, just like in a Korean bar. The appetizer was a spicy potato salad. The Jeon was cooked with cheese on a burner, resembling a pizza. The flavors were familiar and suited for Japanese taste buds. Each dish was filling, and we left with full stomachs. The restaurant had video images of Korean stars playing on the monitors. Maybe that's why some customers looked Asian. There were many young customers. Thank you for the delicious meal. Next time, I want to try spicy Korean dishes. Outside the restaurant, there were beautiful flowers. Could it be Kim Tae-hyung? ♡

Today, a friend who suddenly had free time due to her part-time job being canceled reached out to me. She was all set to go out, and I was also interested, so we decided to meet up there. I'm not a big fan of Korean dishes like tteokbokki or sticky and sweet yangnyeom chicken, but I do enjoy barbecue, jeon, bibimbap, and cold noodles. I called the restaurant and found out they are open until 1:00, which is convenient considering the current shortened business hours. They also offer a 2-hour drink all you can for 500 yen until 2/22. There is a minimum food order requirement, but that's to be expected. The food prices are reasonable, considering the drink all you can deal. The portions are generous, and the flavors are quite good. The restaurant is clean and well-organized, with spaced-out seating to maintain social distance. We tried a variety of dishes, including a mixed namul plate, onion rings, fried chicken skin, seafood jeon, and cheese kimbap. The cheese kimbap was especially delicious and filling, so it's best shared among a group of people. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience, and I look forward to returning with friends.

In Tokyo's Shin-Okubo, there is a highly popular restaurant where you have to wait in line for over an hour to eat. A branch of this restaurant has opened in Kotoni, Sapporo. Highly recommended.

It was very delicious.
