"I came to Leicester from London for a meeting and wanted a snack before heading home on the train. I always try to avoid chain restaurants if possible, so I stumbled upon this small café with good reviews and decided to give it a try. The seating was limited, but I ordered the vegetarian calzone for £3.50 and it was a great deal compared to London prices. The dough was perfectly cooked and the filling was delicious. The service was friendly and it was charming to hear the hosts chatting in Italian. It's not a fancy place for dinner, but if you're looking for a quick and tasty bite, this place is just the ticket."

If I'm back in leicester, I'm sure I'll go back. View menu

I visited last week to get my usual (pizza slice) and was disappointed. I could immediately tell something was different- the dough was too chewy and the toppings were sloppy. It didn't taste freshly prepared like the pizzas here used to. I've been coming for a few years but if the quality has fallen this much following the change in ownership I don't think I'll come back. Hoping it can improve.

I checked out the reviews and was not let down. The customer service was fantastic, and the food was even better. They created a personalized calzone for me without any issues, and it was absolutely delicious. The dough is homemade and you can definitely taste the quality. The ingredients are fresh, and the preparation areas are all easily visible and clean. If I find myself back in Leicester, I will definitely return to this restaurant.

"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]"
