This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants. Very homey feeling and the owners are very very nice always my number one recommendation

Absolutely love the owner and the food! Very delicious food at a good price. Definitely not somewhere to go for "atmosphere" but to simply eat great food. Always my go to place for Korean food in town.

Went here just before they s*** down in house services. I'm not sure if they're doing curbside during this time or not. If you like Korean food that tastes homemade and friendly service this is the place to go! The food is great and most people looking to eat here are regulars or know the owner, so I'll tailor my review towards someone who's thinking about trying this place. If you're new to Korean food, my favorite has always been a spicy pork or bulgogi bibimbap. Make sure you try the little side dishes they give you and always feel free to ask for a little more if you particularly like one :) Will definitely have to come here again when I'm back in Huntsville and quarantine is lifted!

My favorite Korean place in the area. The owner is super nice and the food tasty. I also like it's authentic, homey vibe. There's even a Go board if you fancy taking on the world's oldest (and arguably most difficult to master) board game. The dolsot bibimbop is a must try, kinda like a Korean version of fajitas, with barbecue beef, stir-fried onions, crispy rice on the bottom, fried egg on the top, and condiments on the side--kimche, potatoes, fish cakes, cucumber. It's delcious and fun, but watch out or you'll burn your tongue, as it's served piping hot on a sizzling stone.

Here visiting and decided to try this place after work. It has ample seating and took me back to being in Korea. It does take a few minutes before he came to take my order, even with everyone (3 others) already placing their order. I would hate to see if this place was packed. I ordered the tofu soup which I thought was suppose to have pork, veggies, and soft tofu. It had a couple shrimp and calamari with lots of tofu. It didn't matter cause it was still delicious and tasty. The bonchon was ok, they had the potato, kimchi, cucumber kimchII, and fish cake. Will check out the other Korean restaurants around the area to compare.

For Huntsville, Shinsegae was very unique. It was located in a run-down plaza, but the interior felt very homey. When we went, the wait was extremely long, probably about 30 minutes to order and then an hour more for food, including banchan. There was only one waiter who also cashiered, so we tried to be patient. He was so nice and extremely friendly! The banchan was great when it arrived. I enjoyed the potatoes and fish cakes most. I ordered a seafood soondubu-jjigae and my friend ordered jajangmyeon. I love soondubu, but the soup here was very watery and had little flavor. The seafood was cooked well though. The jajangmyeon was tasty. I liked Shinsegae enough to come back, especially with no major Asian market or other Korean restaurants in the area. I do think I prefer family cooking to the restaurant, but I'd support this friendly family business!

For the Huntsville area, this place gets 5 stars. I finished my tofu stew because it was so satisfying! Service was a bit slow, but the owner/waiter was apologetic. For such a tiny place that was packed, it was understandable in the moment. They take card, have self serve tea (unlimited!), and tons of parking in the lot. Can't wait to come back!

Beef bulgogi was very good but more steamed than the type of bulgogi I tried all over the world including Korea. Service was very good place is on small side and could use just a little updating . Really resembles South Korea restaurants. We'll try it again differently something different.

This is my first time eating here. Walking in you feel like your walking into someone's home. I love the feel of the place it's so homy feeling. Today there was only one person serving about 5 tables an a one of the tables was a party. You would think the service would be bad but the service was absolutely amazing the food was flying out of the kitchen we only waited about 10 minutes for are food the man serving us was so funny an nice. The food was amazing an very nice sized portions as well I'm so happy that I found this place an will definitely be eating here a couple times a month
They said go here if you want authentic Korean food. Indeed this is the right place to go when you crave for Korean food. I love the bibimbap! They have the regular bowl bibimbap (still huge for me) and they have the bigger plate(sizzling) too. So what i love also is that tea is free, kimchi, spicy cucumber, other two side dishes are also free. Be warned that lunch time would take longer for your food to be served since there's a lot of people there. So maybe go there when it's not busy. Although the outside may look a little run down, but the food is great and staff were very nice.

Foods and service are great just have to wait for a while because of lacking of staffs. Which is why I give 4 stars. But this is definitely the place to go for foods. It's best if you go at a time where it is not busy.

I absolutely love this restaurant. It is the most authentic Korean restaurant in Huntsville. The owner is so sweet and takes care of all of his customers. He always recognizes me when I come in and the prices are good for what amount of food you'll end up getting! It's also tasty and I love going here to eat whenever I can!

We are new to the Huntsville area coming from Rome, GA (1h30m from Atlanta, GA). So when I googled Korean restaurants and found more than 0, I was ecstatic!!!! We chose this place because it was the closest to our house & was opened at the time we were starving (around 11am on a Sunday). The restaurant is not located in the nicest area, and the outside looks very run down, so naturally I knew it was going to be good. The inside is little, probably sits no more than 30 peeps. It felts like we were sitting in someone's home, which I thought was rather lovely. It's a little family owned business so my husband and are always up for supporting them! I ordered the squid stir-fried noodle (squid japchae) and the husband got the Dolsot Bibimbab. Portions were generous and flavor was on pointtttt. We were VERY surprised to how good the dishes were. Super authentic. Service was very friendly; I believe the owner is the one who waited on us. He spoke minima English, but was very accommodating and friendly. Prices were fair and totally justifiable based on the delicious meals we had. Needless to say. We. Will. Be. Back.
