I don't want to categorize this as Korean food because it is not. Expensive mediocre tasting food. One and done.

The staff is very friendly. The service is really quick! No more than a 10 minute wait for my food. Not too pricey for midtown and they also offer lunch special on some days for certain times. The food was delicious and they have plenty of tables. Lots of options for food too!

We got bulgogi Kimbap, which was tasty and great size esp for the price. I'm Korean by ethnicity, so I need to have my kimbap done right, and I was pleased. : ) I looked around what others were eating, and they looked legit in the smell and appearance.

For quick, inexpensive Korean food, this place is pretty good! My daughter works nearby and her co-workers are regulars. She, my husband, and I came here for dinner recently because it was not far from an auditorium where we were headed. I ended up ordering Vegetable Jab-Chae (sweet potato noodles with vegetables and mushrooms) and liked it. My husband had Shrimp Fried Rice, something he loves at most places, and thought it was good but better when he added hot sauce. My daughter had one of their Pajeons (savory pancakes) - it was slightly overcooked but she still liked it. Service was friendly and fairly quick. You place your order at the register and find a table after paying. The ambience was fine for a casual place. It's nothing fancy but we weren't there for that.

Bugogi beef fried rice is delicious. The Korean BBQ wings were scrumptious. Nice atmosphere for a quick bite.

Very authentic Korean food, good service, and the food came out pretty quickly. I will definitely be back. Probably tomorrow. If you've spent any time in Korea, yes, it's that good.

As a Korean born and raised in South Korea, this place absolutely serves an authentic Korean bunsik (분식)! The prices are reasonable; kimbaps are 9.99 and stews are around 15-19. Bibimbap on the hot stone is 18.99, compared to others over 22 in K-town. I ordered army stew and spicy tuna kimbap; both were great! We were particularly impressed that army stew tastes like what we ate in Kimbap Heaven (김밥천국, the most common bunsik franchise in Korea). You can get purified water for free if you bring your own water bottle, which tastes better than tap water. The chefs and servers didn't look like Koreans, but don't be intimidated by that! They still make authentic Korean food. Highly recommend!

Great lunch special for the price! Very filling and a lot of good options. I usually go for the beef bulgogi and kimchi fried rice.

I love this place. I come here on average once a week because my work is by, but I've come as many as 3 times in a week. They are friendly, always private tables available, and fast. The lunch special is a great price, so is the udon.

Why the low rating? Not the best kimchi fried rice by far. Mandoo not bad. Ambiance is what drags it down - floor repaired by tape! And the worst - even though you are dining in, they serve some dishes in plastic and have plastic utensils. Despite the fact that pictures show nicely plated dishes in ceramics. Avoid. Wish I could get my money back.

Sooooooo good! The dine in experience is lacking but the food more than makes up for that. Fairly priced for the location.
