"Went here especially for the prawns!!! Had a table reserved, was very busy, only problem trying to find a parking ticket wardens around. Starters had soup wrong one was given as I ordered the spicy prawn soup, the one given was creamy soup and was bland when the soup arrived mentioned to the waiter it was the wrong one but didn’t change it and said the soup was nice it had few prawns,calamari mussel I think but it was not good as the spicy prawn soup I had previously comes with a small piece of bread. Ordered platter of 36 prawns with rice chips, did ask for spicy but was not really spicy and the quantity didn’t feel like 36 Comes with trio sauces the rice is bland too. Not much for a vegetarian had grilled halloumi chips. Also had grilled calamari which was very chewy asked if we could have it fried was told no by the waiter. It is very pricey and is noisy too Jug of juices are £10 Bill came to £76 Be prepared to get messy they give you gloves apron on request a bin to put your shells in."

I have eaten in this restaurant before and it was amazing. Today, I got the bus from Ashbourne to Derby. Train from Derby to Leicester, then back to Ashbourne with a takeaway for my Mum and I. The prawns were superb! The sauces were superb as were the chips and rice! Such generous portions too. Gracious and helpful staff. Thankyou! I will be back.

Great place for a different experience. Staff were very attentive without annoying you every five minutes. Food came quickly hot and delicious. Table was set in a certain way and even included a tin bucket apron and plastic gloves. We had the platter for two… omg huge portions …. Came with chips with an amazing spiced salt …. Salad with feta and 3 dips. We also had some mussels in creamy garlic sauce. All of it was absolutely delicious…. Can’t wait to go again.

We always love the spicy Prawns platter and drive all the way from Birmingham every so often! We had a fantastic , thoughtful and very caring customer service from a an amazing staff named Anna. She provided colours for my little 1 year old who was proving to be very challenging on that night of our dinner. My baby became sick suddenly and vomitted. Anna quickly supported us to a another table, wiped and mopped all so effortlessly. She saw the difficulty us parents were having to clean our baby also eat. Though we didnt have our dinner peacefully but our heartly appreciation goes out to Anna for being so caring. Voir le carte

Popped in while looking for somewhere to eat on the London Road. Was not disappointed. The Chicken Liver starters and Greek salad were excellent. Actually to be truthful the Chicken Livers were some of the best I have ever tasted and the sauce was to die for. The mains we had were just plates of Killer Prawns ,original and Spicy with chips and rice. Really fun to eat and mounds of them. All in all a fantastic meal and we will certainly be going back again. I would definitely recommend this to any hungry seafood lover. My only tiny gripe is that the toilets were not in a state that I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber.

My wife and I wanted to go to some place different so our escort took us to Jimmy’s. We didn’t regret our choice. We had Gratinated prawns as starters and then Jimmy’s Special, consisting of loads of succulent spicy prawns on rice ?paella) and finger chips on the side. The 2 ladies had can drinks but I tried a mocktail with kiwi too sweet for my liking) The food starter and main) were absolutely gorgeous and reminded me of the prawns I ate in Beira, Mozambique and at a restaurant in Johannesburg, called LM Restaurant, over 40 years ago. We’re looking for another excuse to visit Leicester so that we can visit Jimmy’s again. In terms of prices we found them fair because in London we would have...

"Went here last night at the tail end of an office Christmas party and we stumbled (quite literally inside having been turned away at a restaurant next door. It was past closing though their OPEN sign was still on. Anyway! Although Oppa was just about to close, they took us in, a group of 6, and stayed open until we finished. When I realized we were in a Korean restaurant, I was so excited; I've been searching for a good Korean restaurant in the midlands. My colleagues were much less so as they had never had Korean food and were unfamiliar with everything on the menu. I ordered for everyone and despite some of them being difficult one colleague kept asking for samosas, aah! the service was faultless. Staff were super attentive and helpful, patient, friendly, good fun, and extremely accommodating. Just perfect! And they stayed open for us quite late without rushing us out, what more can you ask for? Ok, so the food. It was SO so good and I'm already planning to go back. The kimchi was bang on how I like (a big deciding factor for me strongly fermented/pickled and spicy, and fresh. All the bulgogi (marinated meat , dolsot bibimbap (sizzling rice bowl , jjigae (stew/ramen style soups , seafood and extras that were served tasted just like I had hoped they would. Presentation was great everything looked properly appetizing and vegetables and seafood, etc were all clean and fresh. I was too busy stuffing my face and enjoying the moment and company to take photos, but the few photos I've seen on here are true to life. Other things people might be interested in: This restaurant is kitted out to cook Korean BBQ at/in/on your table. It is spacious, with lots of tables and room to move around. Decor is tasteful and minimal. It is clean and indeed I was warned by staff when going upstairs to the ladies' to be careful as the stairs and the toilets had all just been cleaned (and clean they were! . If you're looking for good Korean food, look no further. If you're looking to try Korean food for the first time, this is a great place to start. Go for it! Might see you there, if I can help it :D [I've copied this review over from where I originally posted it because this listing and the one for OPPA in Leicester are the same exact restaurant, FYI]"
