Just like eating at a grandma’s house- lots of warmth and nutritious, whole food. The food tastes home-cooked in a sense that it’s not overly salty or oily, and it has a very wholesome (and delicious) flavor. The owners are also very friendly and welcoming. It’s a new family favorite.

Cozy restaurant and service with amazing portions and taste. Tried the bibim naengmyun (spicy buckwheat noodles), bulgogi and gamja soojebee (dough flake soup with potatoes) so far. And the banchan so good. Everything has been wonderful I wanna cry

This quaint restaurant just off Bellaire Boulevard was absolutely delicious and the service was helpful and kind. I had the #1 roast beef noodle bowl and our table shared the pork and cabbage pan fried dumplings. The food was excellent, and we highly recommend you visit soon!

The ajumas here are so nice. It reminds me of my time in Korea. They even give the probiotic yogurt for after the meal.

This restaurant is literally run by Korean grandma’s and it was honestly such an adorable experience. My partner and I came in on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but thankfully, they cleaned a table right as we walked in and we were seated pretty quickly.The Banchan (vegetable side dishes) has pickled radish, cucumbers, fishcakes, and kimchi. Out of all the side dishes, we enjoyed the kimchi the most! As for the order, we got the Haemul Sundubu Jigae (Seafood Kimchi Stew), JiaJang Myun (Noodle with Bean Sauce), Osam BulGoGi (Spicy Pork and Squid).The Haemul Sundubu Jigae was okay. The tofu was good and there were plenty of veggies and generic seafood mixes but the soup itself was a little bland compared to what I usually get from other Korean restaurants. I personally wouldn’t order this again if I were to visitThe JiaJang Myun was also just okay. This dish typically has bits and pieces of pork but this one only had mushrooms, zucchini, and onions. I personally would also skip this one too.The Osam BulGoGi was our favorite. The flavor was great, the dish had lots of squid, pork, celery, cabbage, and other veggies. The seasoning was great and made the dish savory and delicious. It is more on the expensive side (25.99) but the portion is big and sharable.At the end of every meal (when they give us the check), it comes with a Yakult (a classic probiotic drink) which I absolutely lovedWarning: it does take a while when it gets busy so if you’re in a hurry, this might not be the spot for you (our dining experience took about 1.5 hours). Overall, the dishes were okay but I really appreciate the staff members for working so hard on a busy night and providing the best service they possibly can.

Dough noodle is pretty good, very filling. Black bean noodles were not bad but I've had better. Potato pancakes are also not bad
