This restaurant came highly recommended by my wife for our first visit. Despite its modest size, it offers a variety of Korean noodle dishes and soul food options. We opted for the water Makgoogsoo (춘천막국수) and beef dumplings (고기 만두). Unfortunately, the Makgoogsoo had a slightly sweet taste that overshadowed the other flavors, and the dumplings, while satisfactory, seemed overpriced for six pieces. The service was slow and lacked warmth, likely due to the limited staff handling all customers. From a management standpoint, prioritizing cost savings on wages may result in missed opportunities to build customer loyalty. I hope the owner considers hiring more employees to accommodate growth and ensure a positive dining experience for all patrons.

While eating dumpling soup, a new menu item came out, Ugeoji Galbitang? I tried it and it was so delicious. Kimchi is always delicious and thanks to you, I had a delicious meal! I'm going to try other new menu items! The owner is also kind and cute.

Best cod fish stew I've ever had. It is also harmonized with Ox Knee Soup. Had a good weekend dinner with family.

I absolutely adore their makgooksoo, and despite craving it, I ended up ordering ssambab instead. It was really good!! Their side dishes are delightful too. The staff was pleasant, and the restroom was clean.

Restaurant with worst serviceParking lot is crowded and inconvenientFrom the restaurant servers to the male owner, they provide the worst service.At first, two people went and they told us to move to two seats because there were not enough seats for four, but when one more person came, he left without giving us a menu. When we ordered flat dumplings and cold noodles from the menu on the wall, both of us complained that the portions were not enough, so I told them we would order more, and they went back in a bad mood. I received an order. After that, I ordered another noodle soup.When I was almost done eating, I ordered another flat dumpling.We were so full that when the flat dumplings came out, we had already eaten most of the food. We only tore into one piece and ate it, and when we asked to submit the rest, they said no.They say there is no to-go box.. Does it make sense for a restaurant to not have a to-go box? When I asked what to do with the rest, the male boss came out and got angry, saying he would give me food and asking for food again.I gave it to him because it was meaningless and absurd, but I threw it away on the spot. What kind of service manners is this?We were so angry that we left, but the server andThe two of you went in together.Even if the guest is not the king, shouldn’t you say hello to him? It was a day when I was in a really bad mood because I ate the kalguksu (noodle soup) I ate.At least there are foods that cannot be submitted.There should be at least one guide.It will be understandable if you provide a good explanation.Why don't you post something like that?Would you be that unfriendly to your guests?No matter how delicious it is, I don't want to go there again if the service is that bad.The taste is not special and the atmosphere is not good. Boss, come to your senses!!What kind of business do you do with that mindset??Please have the minimum manners and kindness.

Mediocre taste Small portions Expensive (don't even offer sari for noodle dishes) Wondering how they got some 5 star reviews. I would never come here again.

Although it is not a pork cutlet specialty restaurant, the composition is a bit poor compared to the price. The kalguksu is as good as that of a snack bar.

This is the most ridiculous place that I have ever been.I ordered noodles and flat dumplings and asked them for a to-go-box for left over but they only gave me a tiny bowl.So I asked for one more bowl, but they just took away my food and voided my check.Even when I entered the establishment, there was no greeting or friendly reception. I was genuinely scared and irate by their rudeness. I do not recommend this place for anyone
