They just opened for lunch and I already lived the place cus a lady was wiping all the chairs. Food was excellent. Service was excellent as well. They were very attentive. We love this place and definitely will be back many times.

I really enjoyed the army stew. Our waitress was so courteous and she did offer more kimchi when the dish was empty. Great food, great service, and a beautiful and clean restaurant. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend the budae jjigae.

I drive past the restaurant everyday to work. Today I decided to try bibimbap from them. The food is really good with big portion. Service is fast and friendly.

Our go-to Korean restaurant in the downtown/Japantown area. I just can't get enough of their Army Stew and Seafood Pancake. Parking in the rear.

Make sure to check your credit card transactions to make sure their employees aren't tipping themselves without your knowledge! We phoned in a takeout order on a Friday night after the dinner rush, and two boys were at the front/in the kitchen when we came to pick up the food. We didn't find out until weeks after our visit that one of the boys had added a 25% tip to the transaction, even though we did not authorize that amount.

The food here was absolutely phenomenal, and I really enjoyed the service! I've had lots of Korean food, and I have to say that this is one of the best. Will definately be coming here again, as it 100% sated my craving for some good homey Korean food.

Was really craving some tofu stew and this place did not disappoint. The sides were fresh and the potatoes were really tasty, I'd never had potatoes like that at a Korean restaraunt, like they were brined in a sesame soy bath or flavor

Stopped by between errands this rainy day, got gyoza, Kim chee pancake (wow!), bulgogi beef, spicy chicken. Fantastic, rice in little containers, and the side pickle plates (kim chee, potato, bean sprouts, and cucumbers slices) in sealed film lil boxes make a delightful presentation back home. Folks who think fluffy pancakes are going to taste floury are flat out WRONG. This isn't your childhood bisquik, this is magnificent and tasty in every bite. Under the ten minute estimated wait, thank you? We've been here once before and will come again!

Experience at this restaurant was a miss for me. Primarily the food wasn't as good as what others had reviewed and is below average for me. We ordered seafood pancake and fried chicken. Seafood pancake was mediocre, fried chicken wasnt crispy and portion was small (4 small wings) for $20. Plus the service was lacking. The restaurant had 2 service person that take order, serve food, pack online orders and acts like cashiers. They were overwhelmed during the service and I also don't think we got good service as a result. I saw a guy wait more than 30 mins for a take out order too. I won't be back since there are other better options available.

This place is soooo good! Been here 3 times now, and every item I’ve had has been absolutely delicious. Yesterday we got kimchi fried rice (delicious!), kimchi stew (amazing!), and potstickers (wonderful!). I would come here more often if I lived closer!Food comes out pretty quick and the portions are perfect. Side dishes taste very fresh - I really liked the fresh pickled cucumbers!The restaurant feels clean and there’s beautiful art on the walls.Parking: Parking lot and street parking

I ordered a hot pot bowl, the meat was refrigerator cold. I ask them to replace the bow, the server touched the beef to feel it was cold. They brought out the same bowl. Egg was absolutely chalk, the rice and meat were now burnt to the side because all they did was throw the entire bowl back under high heat.I let the server know and they still charged me for the entire entree.Please just go to Omagari, it is far superior and better service.
