We had their spicy topokki, clam soup, seafood pancake, grilled squid and fried whole chicken. Every dish was done well, impressed with their seafood pancake, crispy outside and moist inside. Perfectly seasoned. They don't provide banchan at the table. Slight disappointment.

When I say this, i mean it. This is the best poacha in all of northern California. The service is so kind and the food is top quality. Everyone should try this place and continue eating here. Thank you to all the kind workers and serving high quality food!

Been searching for good raw marinated crab in the Bay Area after I have first tried it in Ktown LA more than two years ago. I heard that this place had them so I came to check it out! We ordered: $35 spicy raw marinated crab $18 fish cake soup (1 serving) The spicy raw marinated crab was well seasoned and paired nicely with rice. It was a great balance of sweet and savory, but it was a bit difficult to eat because of the shells and it had less meat. It was delicious, but it was not as good as the ones I had in socal. The fish cake soup was flavorful and light so it went well with the raw marinated crab. I would come back to try their other dishes!

The service is pretty quick. The food is amazing and the vibe is lovely! They also always have K-Pop playing, so authentic. I highly recommend the bulgogi, cheese corn, and their chicken wings!

The food is amazing couldn't have asked for better quality. I was excited to try the spicy raw crab because I had heard so much about it, and boy, it lived up to its expectations. The servers are so nice and attentive. The ambiance is fun with loud K-pop music and dim lights making it a great social atmosphere. I would definitely come back!

Korean bar style food with kpop music in the background! Haha it's a great place to chill and hangout with friends as they also have drinks available. We got the tteobokki, corn cheese, soup, and some other dishes. All were yummy! But I wasn't a big fan of the tteobokki, I wish it had more flavor and was more spicy. The place gets busy and loud!

The service was great, but the foods is not really good. Three times went there, but their fried chicken always too dry and so hard to chew. But their seafood pancake is nice. The ambiance is good for gathering with friends on the late night since they're open until late.

One of the best Korean late night bars I've been to in the Bay Area. It's vibrant in the late night, catchy Kpop music, the food is good, the waiters are so nice and friendly, and it's lively with everyone having a good time in there. I've been looking for a Korean restaurant with raw marinated crab in the Bay Area and found this place along with their kimchi bossam. The waiter told us that we got two of the most popular items here. * Raw marinated crab : This is their seasoned raw crab in their spicy house sauce. It was delicious! I've only had raw marinated crab from hmart so the one here was definitely 10x better. The spicy house sauce is not too spicy in my opinion but that's because I love spicy foods! It was a good mix of the crab body and legs and they all head meat in there. I've seen some reviews that say it takes some work to get the crabs out but that's how you're supposed to eat it to get the crab meat out LOL. I love that they give you gloves because it does get messy! The crab meat is so soft and literally melts in your mouth while also being deliciously sweet and savory. I recommend to get a bowl of rice and squeezing out the crab meat on top of it. It pairs so so so well! * Kimchi bossam : I highly recommend this dish because it is so damn good. This is my third time having bossam and this has been the best place I've had it. There was a generous amount of meat. Bossam is a boiled pork dish and all the meat was tender and flavorful. This dish also comes with radish kimchi, chiles, cabbage, raw garlic and two sauces. The way we ate it was taking a piece of the cabbage, putting one of the bossam on there, then your desired amount of the kimchi, one piece of raw garlic dipped in the sauces, and one piece of chile. I love shoving that whole thing in my mouth because you get so many different flavors and textures making it a fun dish to eat. I believe the kimchi also has oysters in there but we only got one piece of oyster. Wish there were more because the oyster was so good! I love that this place opens late at night even on a Sunday. It closes at 2am on Tuesdays - Saturdays, 1am on Monday, and 12am on a Sunday!
