Leaving a performance at the Theater in Paddington, with many venues with the kitchen closed or the sign full, we booked in and thanks to the Ayllu team in which Morella acted in an efficient, friendly and facilitating version, he surprised us with a wonderful dinner . Very nice place, food that you have to try. Great and thank you very much.

Not expected to have a private room! Thank you so much for the arrangement. The food is no doubt amazing. We particularly enjoyed the soft tofu stew and all kfc chicken! It’s authentic Korean and some dishes even cooked better than what we found in Hong Kong! We had a lovely time to meet with long missed friends. We will definitely be back!

Lunch bento box was excellent in taste and vision, but on the other hand it came altogether which made some food cold when I started to eat. I know it's a trade off. I love to have my food with best temperature.
