What an amazing find. The food was amazing (yay for vegan options!), it was good value, and the staff were genuinely some of the friendliest and most welcoming I've ever met. 110% recommend.

Wonderful little gem of a restaurant in Leicester. It is small, has a very friendly atmosphere, cannot fault the service the waitress we had was very polite, very helpful and attentive.The food was amazing, we had the kimchi pancake, toppocki with cheese and army stew. It all came really hot, and so tasty, the stew is best shared as it is alot. The spicy toppocki was on point, loved it. The prices are very fare. Had the Chinese tea which I enjoyed as I was driving and couldn't drink, but my daughter would recommend the soju, but be careful can be lethal (as my daughter can atest to). Overall a lovely place, and should be tried if you want the authentic Korean. Next time defo going to try the Korean BBQ as that looked amazing too.

Excellent food and service! :) We turned up as a group of 10 without a prior booking and they were happy to accommodate us. The two staff members were so lovely and pleasant and the food was fantastic. Thank you!

I've just had my third visit to Oppa, and am happy to say that every visit has been a delightful experience. The service has been consistently attentive, the food comes quickly and has always been delicious and filling and it's quickly becoming one of my favourite places to eat. Also has plenty of options for when I've been with veggie and vegan friends.

Angela was an amazing waitress, really bright and bubbly from the off and even knew my other half would not finish her food - and that I inevitably had to pick up the slack. I of course was more than happy too, as the food was delicious :).

Upon entry was greeted by a woman who shoved the menu in my face and proceeded to take my order without me having a chance to review the menu . I had to ask to look at the menu again because was so rushed.Was then also made to pay up front when other customers paid at the end . Even had the cheek to ask for a tip twice prior to any service being provided.I travel across the UK and this a first for me.EDIT IN RESPONSE i was asked for a tip at the point of payment which was before any food or service was providedif everyone has to pay upfront then fair enough but you singled me out to pay upfront as other customers received there bill at the end of there meal.

Had to wait ages for the main course and then had to send them back twice as they were cold, we ended up cancelling the main course and leaving, they even had the cheek to automatically add a tip on the rest of the bill , won’t be returning.
The owner lady was so sweet and cute and funny. She brightened up the whole restaurant! Well, we ordered a meat platter and some more vegetables and mushrooms. The portion was reasonable and the marinated meat was well done. Overall, I was happy with the price and the food. You should come and try, and maybe have a little chat with the owner lady! The staff team took care of us really well too.

The taste is average, the fried chicken is not like the Korean style, but the kimchi pancake is more delicious.

Visited this place for the first time with a friend.We weren't planning on having anything heavy and were looking for places to just have some good dumplings.Being vegetarians,we didn't have many options on the menu and decided to order whatever was the best they had on their starter menu.Quickly, we were being judged for ordering just starters.The waitress was just walking in circles around our table and kept asking if there's anything else we wanted to order and she removed the menu cards although we requested to have one card on our table.We hadn't finished eating yet and the waitress was just in a hurry to remove our plates.I absolutely got frustrated with the way we being treated.Firstly,it's not our problem that the restaurant hasn't got enough vegetarian/vegan options also not all people want to have a 3 course meal.Also,a restaurant has to be open and welcoming to other ethnicities and not judge us by our looks and food preferences.I hope the restaurant understands what they've done and hopefully work on their customer service in the future.

Very delicious food and so many choices with a lot of vegetarian options.We chose the fried vegetable noodles and a kimchi rice dish. Both were quite big portions and tastes very fresh and delicious.Staff was also very friendly and helpful with explaining the different menu options.
