It's a great place for Korean food. The place is very clean, light and airy. To order, we used the kiosk and took a seat. The food came fairly quickly and was delicious. The prices are good value for money with generous portions. Loved the beef bibimbap especially. Definitely worth revisiting.

This was our second visit to Life4Cuts and this time we got some food! The owner is Korean, so naturally the food is authentic and really good. It's street food style, but it's good to get a few dishes and share amongst friends! The sticker side of the business is a great laugh too! See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

Fun booth experience place to make cute memories! Lots of fun props to try on for your pics. For £8 you can get a couple of printed strips with 8 photos plus a QR code to download digital pics and behind the scene video for social. The staff are friendly and happy to help! Great plan for friends or couples.

I came here with my mum to eat and take photos, and I have to say, we had such a lovely experience! The Kimchi Tuna Kimbab and Vegetarian Bibimbab had just the right ratio of ingredients and both were so delicious. The Korean Fried Chicken had such a soft and chewy interior, whilst the outside was crisp and the sauce was sweet and perfect 🤩 For the photo taking, there was a variety of the cutest headbands and the photos came out really cute! 🥰 The price was affordable as well considering the good quality.
