We had a party of 23 people celebrating a birthday, and they went above and beyond to accommodate us with the longest table ever. It was a bit tricky for those seated inside to navigate to the bathroom, but we really appreciated their efforts to make us comfortable. The food, as always, was delicious. I was so caught up in enjoying the company that I only managed to snap a picture of the soft shell crab, which was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was fantastic - super efficient from taking our orders to clearing the table for the birthday cakes. Despite the restaurant being really busy that night, they handled everything fast and accurately, which is always a good sign of a legit restaurant. Overall, we had a great time and everyone left with full bellies and big smiles. Thanks to the team for making it a memorable night!

Reviewer #2

I am a Korean who has lived in the states for 15 years, and this was the worst Korean restaurant I have ever been to.Among the many Korean restaurants in this area, we chose this one based on the great reviews. However, upon visiting the restaurant, I realized that most of the reviews were from non-Korean customers. Firstly, the food was not authentic Korean cuisine. Some of the side dishes were overly salty, and the soups lacked flavor. The steamed purple rice was acceptable but dry. Despite this, all the staff were friendly and attentive.Customers paying with credit cards were required to pay the Clover processing fee, which the staff stated could not be waived. Other businesses in the area also use the Clover system, but they do not pass on the processing fee to their customers. Therefore, it is up to the owner to decide whether or not to charge the fee.If you are Korean, you might want to explore other options for the Korean food you are looking for.사장님, 맛 개선이 시급합니다.

Great service, friendly staff, and huge portion! But food did not taste authentic at all. We have seen owner carrying a golf club, which did not look professional. Cooking needs a lot of improvement seriously…..

This is truly the worst Korean restaurant. It's been a long time since I've been to a place like this in 10 years of living in the United States. From the side dishes to the food, it was too salty, too sweet, bland, and not seasoned at all. The tripe soft tofu was too salty to eat, and the sundae soup only contained pig ears, and the sundae came as a side for 5 points. Ugeoji Galbitang is bland in itself. When I went there, there weren't any Korean customers at the table and there were only Americans, so it was a little ominous, but I should have turned around and left. If you are Korean, go to Asiana Market or H Mart. They even charge guests for Clover card processing fees. A person who looked like the owner came out of the kitchen and enjoyed delicious lobster taken out from another restaurant in the center of the hall with people who looked like family... The only thing that impressed me was that the staff were very friendly.

This is our go-to Korean restaurant. It’s clean, spacious and the food is really really good. We’ve had seafood pancake, yookgaejang, bosam, dogani tang and bibimbab so far. The seafood pancake is a must-have and our toddler loves the dogani tang (ox knee soup). We almost always order too much food and we’re still surprised how affordable it is. We leave happy and full each time. We’ll find every excuse to eat here!Kid-friendliness: We came here with an infant and a two year old. Our two year old loved the food. The tables are also big and there’s plenty of space overall.

The food was decent; the portions were big and the tofu soup was packed seafood, so was the seafood pancake, which was my fav.The service was good, they would come and check to see if you need anything once in awhile.

Amazing! Service was great. We ordered A LOT of food and the waiter was nice enough to let us know to stop ordering because the portions are HUGE! We chose the Korean BBQ side and the food did not stop coming. The raw marinated crab is amazing. The hang over soup is fantastic. You get what you pay for with the Korean BBQ. Will definitely be back!

A wonderful experience, particularly on the bbq side. The food is amazing, well seasoned, and generously portioned. Andrew has been our server the last few times and is attentive, welcoming, and personable. I really appreciate a place to go out with friends that feels so comfortable. Love ya.

Conflicted leaving this review but the wait staff need to be better. Walked in during a busy night needing a table for 7 (for dining) Was told I needed to wait 15 mins, as they just sat a bit party, Which was fine. However there was an open 6 person table. I asked if I could sit there (add a chair to the end) and was told they couldn’t sit a party of 7 at a table for 6. Okay that’s fine. Except there was a 8 person table with 9 people (added a chair to the end). On top of that the only table that I could see that allowed more than 6 people had just sat down and was still looking at the menu. Using their logic, I would have to wait for that table to leave which could have easily been an hour+. I understand being busy, but be straight forward, if you can’t seat me then fine don’t ask me to wait 15 mins when reality is you can’t seat me for an hour or done lie about not being able to seat us at a 6 person table if you plan to use a different 6 person table. The attitude of the person telling this to me was just very condescending and left me a negative impression.I will mentioned that this was a one off incident, normally the wait staff are very good and helpful and I’ve always enjoyed going here. The food is very good the few times I’ve gone. It’s just this one interaction had been rather negative.
