What opelchan doesn't like about Onggi:
We went on a Friday evening. We went quite early hoping to beat the crowd, but they just had few tables sat down just before me, so they were swept off their feet.

Onggi in Leicester offers delicious authentic Korean food, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff. While some reviewers mention issues like long wait times, small portions, and cash-only policy, the general consensus is that the food is excellent and worth the wait. The restaurant may lack in organization and variety for vegetarians, but the overall dining experience is highly recommended for those seeking a taste of Korea in Leicester. With free kimchi and flavorful dishes like spicy pork ribs and seafood udong noodles, Onggi is a must-visit for lovers of East Asian cuisine.

Extremely tasty food. The staff were nice and answered any questions I had. I ended up eating the same amount as the couple opposite me as the food was so good.
