We were staying at Bakersfield on a road trip and wanted to check out this place since it got good reviews. It did not disappoint. I had one of the best Galbitang soup I have ever got, and the owner treated us like family members. Such a nice and reminiscent atmosphere that reminded me of dining at my grandparents’ house

First time here and it I honestly have nothing negative to say. As soon as my children and I walked in the people were so friendly. There was a homie vibe. Food is delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything you order.

Best restaurant on this side of town! Delicious food. We always get the bibimbap, short ribs, honey garlic wings, and black noodle.
Great service and the food is cooked fresh when ordered. Love the cozy environment and service.

Sad to have to leave a bad review after my first trip there.We found out about this place from a Facebook group and we're very excited to go try this restaurant.Upon first appearance from parking lot, it was very dimly lit. Walking in there were 3 tables occupied , but no server or anyone around except for a really elderly woman who was sitting near the drink refrigerator. We waited a good five minutes or so and then a walk in customer came in to pick up an order. After a few minutes another lady came from the back to help the gentleman waiting at the counter. Gave him his food and rushed to the back and the elderly lady said something in her language and the other lady shouted back at her in front of everyone. Thought it was odd. But maybe she can't hear well.Finally after serving the table next to us she came to greet us and offer us a beverage and took our order. After about 10 mins our food finally arrived.Based on the reviews and photos, the food looked so delicious. Starving, salivating and waiting with anticipation.First to arrive was a pork rib,tofu and kimchi soup. It was bubbling around the edges of the stone pot it came in. But to our dismay the kimchi inside was still somewhat cold, the 2 itty bitty rib pieces were luke warm and there was one piece of tofu(at $19.99) I was visibly disappointed and my wife was hoping and praying that I wouldn't mention anything and just wait for our second dish. Maybe it was just a one off mistake and what we really came for was on it's way. A black bean noodle dish, 5 minutes later the cook was walking over,I could see the glimmer of a shiny silver bowl and my mouth started to water. And his smile and happy tone was very nice... As he walked away and told us to enjoy, I moved my eyes to the prize awaiting me on the table. My stomach sank, my temperature rose and that I knew it feeling hit my gut. Uuumpf... Frozen peas and carrots on top... Still frozen... As I'm sitting there , now my wife is telling me it's ok, let's just stir it up and give it a try, we came from Rosedale and Nord to try this. Let's just try to enjoy it. And at that moment I could feel a warmth of sorts,(forgot to mention,in a very cold establishment) the lady server was right behind me, and asked how was everything. At that moment I was shocked at how close she was, as she says "you have to mix it, stir" I let her know we understand and I think she could tell I wasn't too happy and she stared for a moment at my wife and then continued her rounds.Long story short, The flavor was horrible, the temperatures were off all around and the ribs inside the stew tasted off... The noodles in the black bean dish were luke warm and had no flavor at all. Just felt like a substance of mass in my mouth,but no flavor.At that time we decided not to complain, not to make a mention(Santa was dining with Ms Clause and they looked very happy)We paid for our meal at the counter and left. I felt terrible leaving and wasting so much food. Just couldn't stomach it.I truly am disappointed, because we have been searching for a good Korean restaurant since we moved here in Oct 2022. Having had some really good Korean food in Southern CA, we knew it wasn't going to be as good as down there, but we had high expectations. Maybe that was part of my problem tonight. Then again, frozen toppings on a Luke warm noodle dish, just seemed, wrong...

Located in a plaza and can be considered a hole in the wall. Came here on Wednesday night & it was dead, our family were the only ones there. Staff here are friendly, maybe too friendly. The lady can be a bit overly touchy and made my kid cry, but she felt bad and tried to give free treats and drink to make it up haha. Prices here are on the high side, but it seems like that's the trend here in Bakersfield, especially for Asian food. I understand the "no competition" model, but soon you might not have any customers and a business if your prices are too high and your food doesn't justify it. Fortunately, the food here was good. Only ordered two items, the cheese Tteok-bokki and garlic chicken wings. Came out to almost $40 with tax. These cheese Tteok-bokki was good, but not for $19. The wings $14 and came with only 7 pieces, good size & great flavor and crunch. Our family was in the area and stopped in, not sure if we would be back.
