I am not the most experienced with traditional Korean food, but this place is the best I've ever had. It's no wonder even Anthony Bourdain ate here often!The menu is small, which I feel makes the food so consistently great! Out of everything I had, and it was a lot, the fried chicken may have been my favorite! It maybe my favorite fried chicken in general now. Super impressive taste and texture. The sauce was incredible.The service was awesome. Even tho there was only one person working front of house, she checked on every table often. She even gave me tips on how to combine and enjoy my food even more! I really appreciated that ??I'm coming back again and again.Vegetarian options: Many of the dumpling choices are vegetarianParking: It's inside a plaza with plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: I saw families with small children dining in comfortablyWheelchair accessibility: Ground level with easy access and a wide door.

DELICIOUS dumplings and DELICIOUS fried chicken!!! This restaurant is a hidden gem with their wide selection of all kinds of different homemade dumplings. My favorites are the #1 king dumplings (their most popular), #7 boiled shrimp and pork dumplings, and #5 sweet red bean dumplings. The fried chicken is also delicious with their homemade sauce!

I've never really been a wang mandoo person but this place makes me one!! Its the bottomless cabbage salad and side dish (the pickled radish and jalapeño banchan) that realllllyy make this so good. 3 of us ordered 2 orders of the original wang mandus and we all only ate 2 each. Its actually a pretty affordable lunch of really good quality and taste! Definitely coming back to try the kimchi one next time.

OK.. came here cause I saw Anthony Bourdain hit this place up. The feel is definitely like back in the day when we were kids and one of my Korean homies invited us to his house to eat. His Mom was warm, welcoming, and had just this amazing plethora of food on the table ready to feed us. That's what this felt like. Coming into someone's home to eat. All those details down to their plates. We tried the fried shrimp and pork dumplings, the spicy steamed roll dumplings, and the fried shrimp. Everything just hits home. Such good comfort food.
Cute mom and pop type dining. The beef dumpling soup was tasty. The dumplings were the star of the dish. The fried chicken is served in half or full and the half is plenty for one.

Yooooo!!! YOU NEED TO TRY THE FRIED CHICKEN!This is probably my favorite fried chicken in all of SoCal. I will throw down with my hands and I don't usually eat with my hands! Something about the perfect batter, perfect crunch, makes the perfect bite! You wouldn't think the fried chicken would be the star here, but my friend, take my word for it! We tried different dumplings and all were good! Included were sides like pickled radish and kimchi which was super spicy! We tend to over order here and end up with leftovers. The leftovers hold up well too. The ladies here are nice and friendly, and efficient when bringing your orders to your table. The restaurant itself isn't too big small but can accommodate large parties if they put tables together. Lots of parties of 2-4 when we dined in. We've done carry out a few times too and the fried chicken stays crispy!

10/10 highly recommend their king steamed dumplings pork with veggies. I picked them up on the way home and the dumplings were still hot and delicious. The dumplings did not need any sauce either. The ladies were so sweet and welcoming. We can't wait to go back soon and try their kimchi pork dumplings and fried chicken.

Let me tell you what. I don't know how they get the chicken that crispy and juicy at the same time. And it comes in a bowl full of sauce. It made me want to try all the different types of chicken they have. And the dumplings are nice and huge and fully stuffed. Service is great the food didn't take long to be done but you get sides. Kimchi, cabbage, jalapeño watermelon radish and sauce. I got the garlic sauce chicken and let me tell you how good that was that I couldn't stop eating it even tho I got full of everything else. This is such a hole in the wall that it's a must check when your out here. Thank you for the food
