Just visited this place the other day for the first time and the food was wonderful, the music really set the vibe (whoever played back to back BTS thank you), and it felt cozy to be there. 10/10 will be back!

Good Korean food overall. Slightly oily food for the items we got. But very good overall.

Dining in for a birthday party of 10 we ate half of everything on the menu. Spoiler alert: delicious. We had an assortment of bibimbap, each a generous serving of meat and veggies sizzling in the bowl, the Galbi skillet (slow braised short rib) and the veggie Japchae. Let’s not forget pork buns, which got us started.All together the meal was less than $30 per person and absolutely worth it.

While the food was good, all of the people in my party end up having food poisoning. Very unfortunate. The menu design and the decor are excellent though.

We have to call the waiter 3 times to place orders and waiter for more than 30 minutes before getting the appetizers. He needs to get WELL-TRAINED. Come to this place if you feel like RUINING a good day.

Bad attitude all the time. Food is not that good but still okay tbh. With all due respect, the disappointing service literally ruined my mood for the whole day. Idk if it’s because we arrived at 11:57am, which is 3 mins before the opening, or because we are foreigners. I would appreciate it if we were informed to leave earlier.

Definitely expect to wait if you didn’t make a reservation. When we got sat and ordered food came out quickly. I got the bibimpap, it was delicious. Definitely going again when I get the chance.

Fantastic food. Whenever I travel I always search out Korean food and this did not disappoint. Authentic, fresh and really just solidly great food. The tteokbokki was 10/10 and the tofu stew was too. Can’t wait to go back!

A decent Korean restaurant in Olde City! We went for lunch on a weekday and there was plenty of parking. The interior is spacious and the food is quite hearty. Everything is served with banchan and food came out quite fast!
