It was a terrible experience today. First, I was given ice in a dirty ,cracked plastic cup with my coke. Then she brought ice in a paper cup with dirty plastic plates. She denied it was dirty until I picked up the dirt with my finger to show the grease or whatever it was on the plate. Then we decided to cancel and leave after paying only for our drinks . She took a long time and came showing us 2 different bills for the same drinks . She said she overcharged and tried to correct it with second charge, but there was no credit given the first charge. We paid over $10.00 for 3 cokes. We left with disgust from this place. Do not go there unless you have a strong stomach and you don't want to eat from dirty plastic plates and drink from dirty cracked plastic cups. My stomach is still upset from this bad experience.

SO. GOOD. Amazing portions for the prices, everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and balanced, and I enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant. Loved every single dish, and we crushed all the banchan. Everyone here was also really friendly and attentive. We got the Korean pancake as an appetizer; my husband ordered the spicy chicken bulgogi; and I got the hot beef bibimbap. Cannot recommend this place enough. A little hidden Korean gem in Rockville!

Food is great. If you are korean, they will come to ask for more of a tip. A waitress chased my son into the parking lot because the tip was NOT large enough. Since my friends love this place, they do not mind the paying extra. I do not pay the

Wonderful restaurant that my family and I have been going to for years.
Quality has gone downhill very fast. Entire shopping plaza is dead. The attention to detail no longer there, flavor is not as good as it used to be. Honestly feels like a ghost town both inside and outside the restaurant. Will most likely not be back here. Many better options elsewhere.

We went there super late and staff were nice enough to accommodate us. All good food.
I visited a package tour restaurant, and I ordered beef stew, but they didn't add salt to any of the beef stew, so I got plain water.Dozens of members of the group who had prepared beef stew were murmuring and protesting, so they gave us salt and told us to try it. We were worried that the package guide would pay attention, so we didn't eat it because we weren't hungry, so we left it without eating. When the guide saw that, he asked what was going on and said that all the beef stew was missing salt, so why didn't we change it? The guide asked if I had given it to him, and the restaurant said that he was just eating, and they never said anything like that, but they misunderstood and said they wouldn't change it, so they didn't change it, but they said, "Why is that?" It could be because they misunderstood people, but at least if dozens of people made a fuss by not adding salt at all in all the beef stews and receiving plain water, regardless of the reason, you can just say you were sorry and made a mistake and say you will be careful from next time, but that person made an excuse by saying he didn't put salt in it. It didn't look good... I didn't mean to eat it without salt, and I was at another table, so it was a bit disappointing that I made an excuse for mistaking it. Of course, I don't know the taste of salted and properly made Yukgaejang because I haven't tried it, but from my experience visiting once, I was less satisfied than other Korean restaurants in the United States.I don't think I'll go anywhere other than this Korean restaurant.
Delicious Korean food, we were all satisfied with our meals and would come back again. I got the DukManDoo, delicious broth and relatively good price compared to the other dish prices. One thing to note at Korean restaurants is that you really shouldn't try to modify a spicy dish to non-spicy (it won't be successful) so if you see a red (likely spicy) soup in pictures and do not like spice, then do NOT request it to be less/no spice as it probably will be spicy. (Some dishes are just meant to be!) Do not get me wrong, I LOVE spicy but have friends who do not like/want spice at all. The restaurant really tried to accommodate this and did their best. I give them credit, but really they should just tell you not to modify. Also, one thing to note is that if you get the soondubu chigae the rice will come in a hot stone bowl. They bring some stainless steel bowls with some water, place your rice into the stainless bowls right away and then you can add the water into the (hot) stone bowl to enjoy your crispy rice from the stonebowl. They did not explain it to us (yes, we are Korean but an explanation was needed!) so thought I'd mention in case it's helpful to others. Overall, very good food!

The only reason why I took a star away is because all the little white plates the side dishes came in smelled like cleaning chemicals. The chemical smell transferred onto the food. It tasted nasty. If the restaurant considers to change out their cleaning products, then I might come back here again. Otherwise, no thank you.

My policy is: Every time that you go to a restaurant and the place is full of their own people, the food is good. Hidden gem for Korean food in MoCo. Gyoza, Tofu stew, bi bim bap, galbi, all good, follow with a cold Sapporo !

Great Korean restaurant with good kimchi/banchan. Flavorful and tasty dolsot bibimbap. Their gochujang sauce mix was the perfect mix of spicy and flavor, which mixed well with the food.
