I like some of the food. The seafood pancake is crunchy , fresh and excellent. I like how they gave you a choice of rice, ramen, flat noodle with the tofu stew. I like the flat noodle. Dukbokki was just ok. It wasn't better than the frozen ones I get from H-mart. The bento box was just ok the japchae and the dumplings were cold the short rib was also just ok. Service was just ok. Your satisfaction depends on what you are ordering. Go for the tofu stew and seafood pancake, they are consistently good and you likely will not be disappointed.

The food was so good, the regular level of spiciness of the soondubu is delicious and just spicy enough! They gave us a lot of bulgogi in the kbbq order and it came with really good sticky rice. Everyone was really nice, and the restaurant looked really nice too.

We've been here multiple times throughout the years and today I came with my wife. They have slowly added to the menu. I noticed that they now have broccoli dumplings.We were greeted by an older Korean lady, she was very friendly and told us it's a little cold towards the front of the store and directed us towards the back. They just opened a few minutes so heating didn't get going.We ended up ordering the mixed soon tofu w rice and I got the beef bimbimbap without the stone pot. Didn't want the rice all crispy at the bottom. The thing about it was that it was a little cold bc of the veggies. Next time I'll get the hot stone pot like I normally do. With the side dishes and everything it was alot of food for us. We ended up taking half of each home. Overall the food was delicious.

I have eaten here a number of times and have always had a great experience! The food is very delicious and a great value for the price. I typically order the bimbimbap with a hot stone plate. It comes loaded with many vegetables and beef! It also comes with a number of delicious appetizers. I also like the seafood pancake and the dumplings! The bento boxes are another delicious option. The prices are very fair and the portions are large so you definitely wouldn't leave hungry. I recommend trying it out!

pretty good food, the seafood pancake was delicious that was probably the best item on the menu though and its an appetizer. I ordered the pork bulgogi when I was there and it was mediocre. It was your typical bbq meat, it had a weird after taste but I didn't really mind. The service was half and half. The waiter who took our order was bland and not very inviting, but the sweet Korean lady who served and brought out the food was so friendly and charistmatic. She was the sweetest offering us lots of sides and making small talk with us. Not bad experience, but pretty average. The shop was a small one, not too crazy, good enough for a small outing with family/friends.
The waiter was very unfriendly. I ordered Japchae. When I asked if I can have extra veggies, and pay for it, her said "no". The food came out five minutes after we ordered, which means it had been sitting around and just heated up.Japchae had maybe 2 pieces of beef. The veggies were mostly mushrooms. It was black blah, and tasted mostly of potato glass noodles and soy sauce.My husband and I decided we are not coming back.

Disappointing.Walked in to rude, incompetent staff that put us all in a bad mood. They don’t smile, they don’t greet you, I think they’re totally going to yell at you when things go wrong and you’re not the reason why.Food was decent, but the rice was inconsistently cooked and the jjajangmyun special was slimy and tangy, not silky and rich.It’s nothing horrible but definitely not like other places. We’re not coming back.

I love Asian food in general like all types, including Korean. This is authentic Korean cuisine. Prices and portions are reasonable. Taste is awesome. However, with all authentic places the language barrier is definitely there. Food is so good I just point to what I want lol. So naturally some of the staff comes off as brash which I just brush off as a language barrier. Overall I'm a foodie so that's all that matters to me. If you're looking to be catered too, and lavished this isn't the place for you. It's very mom and pop, so it's not a candle lit place either. For me the food and cleanliness is all that matters.
