"Went here last night at the tail end of an office Christmas party and we stumbled (quite literally inside having been turned away at a restaurant next door. It was past closing though their OPEN sign was still on. Anyway! Although Oppa was just about to close, they took us in, a group of 6, and stayed open until we finished. When I realized we were in a Korean restaurant, I was so excited; I've been searching for a good Korean restaurant in the midlands. My colleagues were much less so as they had never had Korean food and were unfamiliar with everything on the menu. I ordered for everyone and despite some of them being difficult one colleague kept asking for samosas, aah! the service was faultless. Staff were super attentive and helpful, patient, friendly, good fun, and extremely accommodating. Just perfect! And they stayed open for us quite late without rushing us out, what more can you ask for? Ok, so the food. It was SO so good and I'm already planning to go back. The kimchi was bang on how I like (a big deciding factor for me strongly fermented/pickled and spicy, and fresh. All the bulgogi (marinated meat , dolsot bibimbap (sizzling rice bowl , jjigae (stew/ramen style soups , seafood and extras that were served tasted just like I had hoped they would. Presentation was great everything looked properly appetizing and vegetables and seafood, etc were all clean and fresh. I was too busy stuffing my face and enjoying the moment and company to take photos, but the few photos I've seen on here are true to life. Other things people might be interested in: This restaurant is kitted out to cook Korean BBQ at/in/on your table. It is spacious, with lots of tables and room to move around. Decor is tasteful and minimal. It is clean and indeed I was warned by staff when going upstairs to the ladies' to be careful as the stairs and the toilets had all just been cleaned (and clean they were! . If you're looking for good Korean food, look no further. If you're looking to try Korean food for the first time, this is a great place to start. Go for it! Might see you there, if I can help it :D [I've copied this review over from where I originally posted it because this listing and the one for OPPA in Leicester are the same exact restaurant, FYI]"

"I dived here with a couple of colleagues for lunch. I visited this Korean restaurant a few times before, but never for lunch. the restaurant is small and full of quirky, domestic objects. it almost feels like they're in someone's room. we received a short menu, but also a booklet that showed the meal in detail, with photos of the ingredients that go to the court and a finished article shot. this is very useful if they were not yet in the restaurant and do not know where to start. it beaten that all three of us were going to order bulgogi, I was going to squash and the other two with huh. every head comes with a suppe and a series of appetizers. the suppe was green bean and was a perfect size to let her go while on her pornstar without being overcrowded. the appetiser consisted of mushrooms, kimchi, broccoli and a little sausage that was delicious. the parts of each are only a mouthful per person. when the main thing arrived, we were offered the right way to eat the dish. this is very useful, especially for a nervous first timer and a very nice note. all seemed to enjoy their boggi. the meat was well cooked and the sauce had a nice deep. the vegetables were also well cooked and gave crispy and soft, where necessary. the salat part of the bogogi gave the meal a fresh and was simply in its delivery. each court came with a small bowl of rice, which was a nice size, but we were offered more if we wanted it. this restaurant makes fun, with knowledgeable employees. eating is tasty and is worth a visit for some great Korean foods."
