Yum! Friend recommended this place to us and we loved it! Wish I had come with a larger group so I could have tried more of their menu items. Service is great and the food is good. We got a ton of refills of the banchan / sides so that was nice.

My wife and I were in the mood for some Korean food and instead of heading to our normal (quick eat) Korean food place inside KoreaTown, we opted for this restaurant since it's a place we've never got to experience yet. When we walked in, we were nicely greeted by a couple of employees. I immediately noticed it wasn't busy at all (surprising since it was a Saturday evening), but it was comforting because we were hungry. The restaurant's décor was fabulous; everything was well organized and very clean, including the bathroom.Between the both of us, we ordered BBQ Beef Short Ribs (LA Galbi) + Jokbal Bossom, Kimchi Fried Rice, Spicy Pork Bulgogi Hot Stone Bibimbap, and Fried Mandu. I knew from the start that this was going to be way too much food for us, but I wanted to try a few things during this initial visit. Plus, whatever we don't eat, we can easily take home since we're Las Vegas locals.Out of these entrées, my favorites were the Kimchi Fried Rice and the Bibimbap. The banchan was extraordinary; it was extremely fresh and delicious; and the Ssamjang that accompanied the Bossom was very flavorful. One thing I wish is that the entrée had more lettuce pieces or contained a variety of greens other than the green leaf lettuce that came with the dish (i.e., red leaf lettuce and perilla leaves), considering that the entrée had so much food to make lettuce wraps. However, it's not a big deal and if I truly wanted more, I could've just asked for more too. The Fried Mandu was good but definitely wasn't my favorite mandu I've tried in Korean restaurants. Additionally, it's been about 30+ years since I recall eating Jokbal and I couldn't remember what it tasted like to save my life, therefore, I thought it was great that we found this restaurant to try it again. My wife thought it was good; however, I can't say I'm a big fan of it...which is odd because I love pork...especially pork belly. Perhaps if it was prepared differently, I would enjoy it more? I know this is a famous and very popular dish in Korean cuisine, but for me, I've always been a Galbi and Meat Jun type of guy ever since I was little. Lastly, and speaking of Galbi...the flavor/marinade was exquisite, but the meat texture was average...which was disappointing because I like to go to Korean restaurants to get a break from making my Galbi at home. Oh well, the entire food experience was still good.The customer service was magnificent! As I mentioned earlier, the restaurant wasn't busy at all, so of course I would expect it to be lightning fast. But I have confidence that the customer service would be equally as prominent during their peak/busy hours. The price-to-quantity/quality ratio was superior...you definitely get your money's worth at this restaurant. There were other items on the menu that I wanted to try and will involve a second visit down the road - sorry, my stomach isn't big enough, nor am I a professional eater. My overall rating is 4 stars...meaning, "I liked it," therefore, I highly recommend this restaurant to all Las Vegas locals and visitors.

Our server was quick and observant to our needs. Seafood Pancake 5/5 - probably the best one I've ever had. Not too oily and extra crunch Beef Tofu Soup 5/5 - very good flavor Bossam & Jokbal Combo 4/5 - the Bossam was really tender, but the Jokbal was a little too fatty for me Spicy Rice Cakes 5/5 - super spicy, but delish! The sides (banchan) we're tasty as well. If you're not in the mood for the million Korean AYCE, this is a great option.

Came here for an early lunch. Ordered the combo with bbq ribs and bossam. Food came out quick and waitress was nice and attentive. Enjoyed all the banchan they offered. We got seconds. The combo platter also came with lettuce, sliced pickled daikon, bean paste, some sauce, garlic and jalapeños to wrap with. Pork belly was super tender and thinly sliced. It goes well with all the banchan stuff. It was so good. Bbq beef ribs were not grilled and had a lot of fat on the ribs. There's no grill marks and tasted like it was boiled. Overall, this did not taste good and was very disappointing. For that, 4 stars instead of 5 stars. Would come back for the bossam platter again if in the area.

Decent service gets them 2 stars. Food is not good here. Location and ambience is poor. Tofu soup was the worst I've ever had (tastes like the packets sold in Korean markets). The place feels uncomfortable and you can hear all the commotion coming from the kitchen. How can this place be rated so high?

We came here after the Twice concert and it was one of the few places still open. They were getting busy since a bunch of people came here after the concert too. We walked in and was seated shortly with the menu. No one offered to take our drink orders or came back to take our orders for over 20-30 minutes. Two other groups there before us left because of the wait. When a waiter did come, there were 4 other tables waiting for orders and they asked everyone who's next. They were running in and out of the kitchen and even knocked over a stack of dishes. They seemed very unorganized and overwhelmed with only 2 servers working the front. We ordered the following: - Kimchi Fried Rice: spicy, flavorful, 4/5 - Medium Bossam: the meat was good, the lettuce was fresh but there were only 5 pieces which is not enough for the amount of meat. It came with a side of radish and something else that was fermented. It also looked nothing like what is shown on the picture. 3/5 - Budaejjigae: it is heated over a portable stove at the table. It had a variety of different foods in it that was unexpected such as pepperoni, beans, sausage, rice cake, jalapenos, tofu, and ramen. For the price we paid, the amount was not a lot because the pan was not very deep. I expected more broth and ramen. 2/5 - Steamed Egg: did not get a chance to try it All the food came out within 15 minutes. The table we were seated at was small for a table of 4. When the steamed egg was brought out, one of the servers just pushed everything onto the table and then gave us the side dishes because they forgot. She spilled some of the things as she put everything on the table. She seemed very rough, did not care things were spilling and looked like she hated her job. As we were eating, we wanted our water refilled, but no one ever came to check on us. We tried to press the button on the table for assistance, but that did not help. We never got our water and we just wanted to leave at that point. We then had to wait about 10 minutes for our check. At one point a different staff member was cleaning the table next to us and we asked him if we had to pay at the front and his answer was "I don't know." He did not try to find someone to help us either. During all this, a table next to us was seated and they tried to get their food orders in, but struggled to get help from either of the servers for over 30 minutes. I have never received such horrible service at a restaurant before and for the less than expected quality of food, unfortunately I had to rate this experience as a 1/5. It would definitely help if they efficiently trained and hired more staff. The attitude of one of the servers did not help either. The other tried her best to make sure everyone was helped. Not sure if coming at a different time or day would have helped better the service because I do not want to experience something like this again.

Enjoyed some great company and food here! This is a small restaurant but the lady that was helping us is very nice. Ordered the bossam and jokbal combination along with buckwheat noodles for 3 people and it was really fulfilling. Usually it's a hit or miss for me when it comes to cold noodles but this one was really good. The portion size is big as well. We saw a bunch of photos for their bossam/jokbal plate and just had to try it. Would definitely recommend!
