Excellent place! Bibimbap was tasty and was in a pretty good portion. Fried chicken was so crispy and juicy - ordered a sweet & spicy one although it's not spicy at all even as someone who can't tolerate spicy food well (still amazing though!). We also ordered a matcha latte and a butterfly pea lemonade and both were great as well. Prices were reasonable for what we got. Environment was pretty nice, not too crowded when we went (although we did go at 17:00 so not the busiest time). Staff were very kind.
Would definitely be back again and would recommend this place to everyone.- Service

What an amazing and cozy place this is. Everyone is super friendly, the place is spotless, offers plenty of vegan options and it runs a fantastic course on making kimchi. So well organised and delivered.

Great little café that my wife discovered on Google looking good Korean food in Newcastle. We went to celebrate our youngest's A level results and had fantastic time. A cosy little café, staff were lovely and the quality of the food was superb. Definitely would go back.

Enjoyed our quiet time in the small but cute cafe. From the food we ordered we really enjoyed the gimari and fish cake. Service was on the spot and the staff was very friendly. We hope to go again.

Here's a little hidden gem tucked in the alleys of Newcastle's Haymarket😍
A cosy environment perfect for sipping a cuppa, with signature dishes like KFC (Korean Friec Chicken), this is certainly spells for a good time. I particularly enjoyed the dishes I ordered - definitely made with love.
🥥Coconut Coffee (This is one of their best-sellers)
🍥Kimbap (Korean Seaweed Roll. We choose the Egg version (vegetarian))
🍥Stir-Fried Spicy Rice Cake with Cheese (oof, this was heavenly. I didn't realise how well the cheese would complement the tteokbokki! A little spicy, but we love heat)

Definitely a recommended spot just to chill and have a nice simple Korean/Japanese meal😄- Food

It’s a little cozy place . Very calming atmosphere and the food is really good as well. Happened to walk in and I was impressed. Just tried the Korean fried chicken ( soy and garlic flavor and the chilly one as well) also tried one of the ice teas the honey citron ice tea was very refreshing. Not overly sweet.

KC Square Fried Chicken is a standout when it comes to crispy, fresh, and flavorful fried chicken. The golden-brown exterior is perfectly crispy, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite, while the juicy, tender chicken inside stays moist and delicious. It’s clear they use high-quality ingredients and fry the chicken to perfection, making each piece a crispy delight.
As for the kimbap, it takes things to the next level. The rice is seasoned just right, and the balance of fresh, vibrant ingredients—from the crisp vegetables to the savory proteins—creates a perfect bite every time. Whether you're enjoying it as a side or on its own, the kimbap adds a delightful contrast to the fried chicken, enhancing the entire meal.- Food

The food was really delicious. Some of the best kimchi I’ve ever had and I really like kimchi! Portions are very generous for the price. Food is freshly cooked and delicious. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend (on an empty stomach to make enough room!!) and will definitely be coming back.

I really want to try all of their food!! It’s just me this time, so I can only ordered a Beef Gimbap and a Spicy Rice Cake with cheese. It’s bring me back to Korea in a sec !!! The ingredients they used are exactly the same in the Korea! Highly recommended!!
Last but not least , I ordered their iced coconut coffee with double shot expreso. I don’t even know coconut and coffee are that match! And I got a hot sesame latte to go, soooooo nutty and satisfying during this cold weather!!
Definitely will come again with my Korean friend next time!!- Service

Had a delicious beef bibimbap for dinner here with a 350g jar of traditionally and expertly homemade kimchi (took the left overs home. Nice rice, delicious veg (not sure how julienne carrots can taste that nice!), tender beef strips with fried egg on top. Highly recommended.

Popped by for lunch today and was very happy with the experience! The decor and atmosphere is comparable to a cozy cafe in Seoul. Staff were also friendly and welcoming. Overall, I highly recommend this Korean cafe to anyone looking for a delicious Korean cuisine experience. Particular favourites were the Kimbap (beef bulgogi, pork and tuna) as well as the coconut milk coffee!

Yo, I just checked out this new Korean café in the heart of Newcastle called KC SQUARE and it's freaking amazing! Their industrial style is totally cool and gives off some major vibes.
Anyway, I ordered their beef rice box, fish cake soup, kimbap, fried chicken and matcha latte. Let me tell you, their food is bomb, especially the fried chicken is crispy and juicy! And get this, their kimchi is made in-house and way better than anything you can buy at the supermarket. It's super flavorful and crunchy.
If that's not enough to convince you, you've gotta try their seaweed roll kimbap and matcha latte too. Trust me, you won't regret it. This cafe is definitely worth checking out. The food is on point, and the atmosphere is amazing. Definitely come again!- Service
