Ordered 11 meals for take out and the staff even repeated to me the whole order. But end up gave me 8 meals. We came to town for travel and we have to go out to get other foods. The portion was super small. We paid extra 3 dollar for extra udon but came with a very small portion of undon can’t even feed two kids. Really bad experience!

Not the best Korean I've ever had at all. It was passable. The server was very nice, but the atmosphere not so much.

My girlfriend and I ordered the pork bone soup casserole and it was delicious! Generous amount of pork bones in the soup along with vegetables and glass noodles. Staff was super friendly and great energy. Will definitely be coming back!

Came here for the first time during lunch. The food was tasty but the portion was very small. I'm not sure if it's because it was lunch but the bibimbap came in a bowl and not a hot stone dish which kind of defeated the whole purpose, as one of the reasons I like bibimbap is the rice continues to cook and crisp and I can cook the egg instead of eating a runny one . I saw reviews that the banchan was good but we didn't really get any. Except a little bit of kimchi and the shaved radish. The spicy rice cake was very tasty. I'll come back and give it a chance outside of lunch hours . The lady that works there is really friendly and helpful .

Wow - the food and the service was excellent. My family took a trip to from Seattle, WA and wasn't expecting much from this quaint joint as Seattle, WA (and the West Coast) is known for phenomenal Korean restaurants. It was humbling, pleasantly surprising and beyond satisfying experience; my parents who Seoul, Korea born were absolutely charmed as well. My husband stayed home with my 2 boys but, Duru's special meal made our special trip with my elderly parents and my youngest brother even more unforgettable. Food was sooo good! Authentic and the service was home away from home all the way...Thank you!

Amazing service. The wait staff here are awesome. They can speak Korean and English. The kitchen is fast. Clean facility. Clean washrooms. Good amount of parking. Bus stop out front. Free WiFi. No credit surcharge. Prices per portion is not the best.

I’m sad to say that after 20 years of satisfaction, tonight’s food was NOT good. We ordered our usual bibimbop for take out.Portion significantly smaller, overcooked rice, almost no meat, very bland vegetables, and no kimchi toppings included like they used to. It was blah!!!…definitely NOT Korean.Ownership changed 3 years ago, and while the woman serving was super friendly, I’m left wondering what’s going on? Things change.We’ve enjoyed for a long time, so will try again but there are other great options for Korean food in the region.

100% would recommend. 5 star food and service.Went there for dinner a couple weeks ago with my family and we were all impressed by the quality of the food and the workers charisma.We were served by a lady who I believe is one of the/the owner(s) and 2 young girls, all of them were friendly and very helpful.The lady and young asian girl were very helpful with the menu, the blonde girl was very attentive and cordial.We left with a big smile on our faces, we will surely go again next time when in the area.
