“The location is an odd corner of downtown - but don’t let that discourage you! The owner is very nice, the restaurant is very clean, the food is authentic, and the ingredients are of great quality. We wanted to have a delicious meal before traveling to Korea for the first time and it was a perfect introduction. Thank you for a delicious dinner and all the well wishes!“

“This place seems to be authentic for me. Small Korean restaurant with few extra seats on the second floor. Waiting time around 15 mins because they are busy with other orders. The counter desk lady is quick and serious. I ordered the most expensive dish in the menu - galbi bento (Korean short ribs). Decent size portion, enough for a man to get full, meat was fresh with balanced marinade but chewy for me. So, I was not able to eat every piece of meat in whole. Nice place to explore. Would order unagi bowl next time.“

“An awesome Korean bakery! All of the items I got were definitely high quality. I think I prefer this place over Pink Box, but I’ll need to try more to be sure. I ordered the condensed milk loaf, twisted donut, plain buttercream bread, and the coffee bun.My favorite of the items was by far the coffee bun, which I was quite surprised by! It had nice, crispy edges full of sweet, but not too sweet, coffee flavor. The inside was soft and had hints of coffee as well. Overall, very good! And good portion for the price.The twisted donut reminded me of just a regular donut sprinkled with sugar. It wasn’t anything too special or extraordinary, but it was well made. The inside was soft, and it was very sweet.The plain buttercream bread was surprisingly not that sweet! The buttercream is quite rich and creamy. I will say, I would have liked a bit more of it, as the bread really dominated the flavor here. Still, great.I was a tad bit disappointed with the condensed milk loaf, but it was still great. I was expecting a bit more milky flavor and sweetness, but the hints of condensed milk are very light. The bread is still soft and fluffy, and a solid deal for the price.All in all, I really enjoyed this place. The desserts were all high quality and pretty fairly priced in my opinion. Solid portions as well. Some unique items, some more standard. Recommend it!Kid-friendliness: Kids would enjoy at least some of these treats“

“The bulgogi steak burritos are out of control delicious. Just stop what you are doing and get on your ride and go get it right now. Also, try the fried chicken box. It comes with a nice portion of rice and cabbage (not quite kimchi?) That is also very tasty!“

“I came here with a friend for the first time on a Thursday night. The place was pretty crowded, but we got seated right away in the back by the bar. My friend has been here many times over the years and said the back bar area is pretty new. We ordered an appetizer of chicken dumplings and they were really good. We also each ordered a cocktail. The cocktails were okay. I got the Bramble On and it tasted kind of watered down and flavorless. My friend ordered the Toki Plum Sour and said it was just okay. For our meals, I got the spicy fire chicken with glass noodles and a seaweed salad. My friend got the Korean fried chicken with glass noodles, Napa cabbage kimchi and diakon raddish kimchi. Both of the proteins were so good! Cooked perfectly and came out hot. The seaweed salad was okay as well as the Napa cabbage kimchi. The daikon reddish kimchi was delicious though! Overall, a good experience. The service was pretty quick. We were in and out in about an hour bc we had a show to catch. If I went back, I just wouldn't order a drink next time.“

“K-Town Snack bar has hot dog corn dogs and cheese corn dogs that are both amazing! I love the hot Cheeto dusted beef corn dog and the fried potato cheese corn dog! One of my fav dishes is the Tofu which comes with rice, noodles, and salad, and delicious sauces, it’s like 3 different bowls in 1! The fried sweet potato is amazing, the Kimari is amazing, the Mandoo is amazing, try everything on the menu! The Owner and workers are incredibly friendly and make you feel at home! Don’t forget some nutella or custard gold fish for dessert on the way out!“

“As someone who loves Korean BBQ, I am saddened by the fact that Pittsburgh does not have any actual ‘true’ KBBQ spots (lots of great Korean spots, but none where you actually have the grill top at your table to cook the meats yourself - still waiting on K Pot!!). However, we get takeout from Green Pepper once a week and we love it. Great quality meats, best we’ve found so far in PGH (just wish we had the endless banchan ;)). We’ve never dined inside but from pics it looks like a cute chill spot. FYI every time we get our order it’s still piping hot (especially the kimchi stew) so the food travels well!! I get the grilled pork belly every time, and my husband gets the bulgogi. Both excellent options, both come with white rice and you can add kimchi and lettuce. The pork belly comes with a lot of jalapeños which I loooooooove!“

I usually order for delivery so I haven't actually been to the restaurant in person but every time I get their food it's so good and it usually doesn't take very long for it to be ready either.“
