"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!"

delicious food. I tried a few dishes in South Korea and this place fits it. will definitely go back to try more.
Rebecca
My friends and I make sure to visit this place at least once a month. The food is delicious and the entire atmosphere has a cozy, homely warmth to it.
Ellie
The food is very authentic Korean food and definitely the delicious Korean cuisine I have ever eaten. I already went there so many times and will definitely be going there again if I crave some Korean food.
Jacob
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.

The Korean food at this restaurant is truly authentic and delicious. There are no fusion burgers here, just traditional dishes that remind me of home. As a Korean myself, I can attest to the quality of the galbitang, pork stir fry, and seafood pancake we ordered. It's almost as good as my mom's homemade food.

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)

I had so many people raving out Onggi but for a good year I never could find the time to try it. And finally I have and oh was it worth the wait. This is by far the best Korean food experience I've had. Not only were the staff wonderful and had great hospitality, but the food was to die for. I got full a good 3/4 into my food but I powered through because it was so good. My boyfriend ordered two mains, destroyed him visibly but he too agreed it was worth it. I will be coming again, and again, and again!

Love this place. Spent some time in Korea and the meals here really take me back. Staff are lovely and food is great, comes out in good time and really high quality. Honestly you can't get a better Korean for the price in the country! Just get a selection of dishes and tuck on. Tteokbokki, Japchae and Kimchjeon are great starters to share, while the Dolsotbulgogi bibimbap and kimchi jiggae are great mains. Honestly though I've had many of the main meals and not been disappointed by any! My only suggestion is to get a drinks license and serve some soju!
