The spicy cold noodles are not too spicy but offer enough kick and are made of buckwheat, providing a different flavor and texture than typical cold noodles. The vibe of the restaurant is friendly and Korean eatery-like, with fast service and helpful staff who make good suggestions. The kimchi is praised for its deep flavor, crunch, and perfect fermentation. Banchan items are delicious and make for a satisfying meal on their own. The hot rice with blazing army stew, full of noodles and meats, has a spicy, well-rounded broth. Beef bulgogi and pork ribs are described as tender, seasoned well, and truly divine, offering blissful flavors. The seafood pancake is very good, though some find it less filled with seafood compared to other places. The pork ribs have a slight spicy kick and are enjoyed alongside a variety of delicious side dishes. The restaurant's short ribs are large, with a great char and marinade, and the cold noodles are made of buckwheat, giving a different flavor and texture than typical cold noodles. Despite the excellent food, some customers mention that weekend staffing is limited, with only two workers handling orders and tables of all sizes, which can lead to slower service. Nonetheless, the staff provides good service and makes helpful suggestions. While the alcohol selection is limited to beer and Korean soju, the focus remains on the high-quality food that keeps customers returning.
