   Very friendly man running the restaurant and cooking the food, very courteous and apologetic for a slight wait… we didn’t wait long at all and he had only just opened! We both went for Bento Box 2 which included: Rice, Bulgogi Beef or Chilli Pork (I had pork my husband had beef), 2 Tempura Prawns, 2 Fried Dumplings, 2 Spring Rolls, 2 Chicken Skewers and a portion of chilli chicken balls each. The food arrived nicely presented and looked great… it tasted fab! Everything was so full of flavour, cooked wonderfully and the meat was nice and tender. We thoroughly enjoyed everything and were so full afterwards. All for a really good price too! Rice Bar Totoro is on our list of places to return to soon, we want to try the rest of the great looking menu!

   Brilliant experience. The restaurant was great and the owner is so incredibly nice. The food was delicious, highly recommend this place to anyone! We had the bento 2, kimchi, Totoro roll and prawn termpura roll with some green tea. Was all delicious, probably the best kimchi I’ve ever had!!!

   Always excellent food. We get the Bento 2 to share and extra spring rolls. It delivers every time in taste, portion size, quick arrival. Excellent. I have been ordering for years.

   You called this ddeokbboki?!?! It's humiliating one of famous Korean food. Rice cake is not fresh at all(you can see in picture). There is no sauce. All dry. Looks horrible. And Kimbap?? Deconstructed. I don't know you are Japanese or Korean, you need to stop selling Korean food. Disappointed.

   Worst restaurant I have ever been to. The "rice cakes" in the fish bowl were actually tubes of rice starch. The sauce tasted foul. The fish was actually weird congealed sheets reconstituted fish protein. The beef bowl used instant ramen, not proper noodles. Too dry, not enough water, so it was like a congealed ball of vomit. The beef itself tasted weird, like rehydrated shoe leather. The pork sushi roll was flavourless. That's a compliment. At least it appeared to be actual food unlike the first two dishes. The first two dishes seemed like they were cooked in a microwave. Everything was served in cheap plastic bowls. I would not feed dogs this awful filth. Disgusting. And it cost £18! An absolute disgrace. The worst restaurant I've ever been to.
