I’ve been coming to this place for a few months and had fallen in love with it until yesterday when I called and ordered the beef bulgogli lunch special. I’m guessing she didn’t catch the lunch part. Well when I got there she took forever to come to the front didn’t greet me or anything. One of the customers actually yelled in I guess in her language that I was at the front. She still took her time coming. I’m looking at her she’s not really doing anything was just taking her time. Well after all that she comes up halfway greeting and come to find out she heard me wrong which isn’t a problem but then she wanted to argue and get loud… I know what I ordered and you’re not about to try to talk down on me like Im a child… so needless to say I will not be returning. I should have left when she got to doing all that loud talking telling me how I need to order food like I haven’t been ordering from her for a few months. Then the portion was actually smaller than it normally is. I know people have bad days but what you won’t do is take it out on me. There’s ways you do things. I’m not an even a “the customer is always right” kinda person but I do believe that there’s always a to provide decent customer service.

I loved my food here, I forgot to rate it in the fall, but everybody was super understanding when I couldn’t pronounce some of the dishes. But the food was amazing.

Authentic Korean! I spent time in the service in South Korea. This restaurant is the real deal. If you are looking for authentic Korean cuisine in Columbia, this is the spot.

Warning! mandatory 15% gratuity is already included in the price.I have been going here for years and I remember this place being a whole lot nicer than what I experienced tonight. The amount of items on the menu have truly is bare minimum, and a lot of the menu is unfortunately on the mediocre end of edible korean food in the city. My bulgogi was more on the tasteless end, and the galbi was nearly as well cooked as it could have been.I have eaten quite a lot of korean food in my life, given as I used to basically live with another korean family. We support these small shops, but there is a line that I will not support in restaurants going forward, and that is mandatory gratuity. We always tip gratiously, however, it is insulting to sneak a 15% gratuity in the receipt without notification, people will most likely tip on top of this 15% without even knowing.Be careful, I don’t think we’ll be back unfortunately. I hope these items change.

This Korean family-style restaurant is incredibly clean and inviting. The unlimited complimentary side dishes are a fantastic touch. The fish cakes were exceptionally tasty, and the seafood pancake had wonderfully fresh octopus. The stone pot bibimbap was served at just the right temperature, and I absolutely loved it ～^_^Overall, a great dining experience!

This is hands down the best Korean restaurant in Columbia. Wonderful food, customer service, and atmosphere. The second I walked in, I was greeted professionally by the staff, and the aroma reminded me of being back in Korea. The food is a bit pricy, but it is worth the experience and tastes amazing. They offer a military discount ?

Food was traditional. And there were some natives that came in so you know the food is good when they come for it. Service was lacking but that's okay, my company made up for it. There are other Korean places in Columbia that I have not tried so I probably won't be back to this one anytime soon.
