The Westgate Arcade in Halifax is probably not very high on your search list if you’re looking for authentic Korean food, but this tiny little joint run by two sisters is the real thing and ‘a bit of a find’. You can drop by for a takeaway or squeeze your way in and bag one of the plain tables for a sit-down treat (there are extra tables outside overlooking the passing trade). Big dishes and composite bowls go down well, from the classic bibimbap spiced up with extra gochujang sauce to stir-fried glass noodles and the ever-popular rice bowls topped with BBQ bulgogi beef, spicy marinated pork or Korean fried chicken (a favourite with regulars). Kimchi pancakes, ramen soups and plates of spicy rice cakes topped with hard-boiled egg are also in contention, and it’s worth loading up with a few smaller items – perhaps some seaweed balls or crescent-shaped pan-fried dumplings. When it comes to the sweet stuff, the kitchen goes off-piste with an assortment of cr&...

When it comes to the sweet stuff, the kitchen goes off-piste with an assortment of crêpes and waffles (the owners previously ran My Crêpe on Halifax Borough Market), plus luscious ice-cream sundaes and the must-order honey-bread banoffee cake. Unlicensed, but teas, coffees, milkshakes and smoothies do the trick.
