Ambience. Dark and loud! Dark because I guess it hs a bar like setting but nobody working at the bar. Loud due to the Korean music videos. Don't you miss music videos on MTV?!Food. Large portions. Perfect for 2-3 people.Kimchee fried rice was a hit with my kid Seafood pasta was tastyKorean katsu curry was HUGE and it was good. The sauce however, is sweet. Nothing like Japanese curry. But still interesting. Been here twice. I'm sure we'll be back once again. Probably for more kimchee fried rice.But all the dishes were good! Parking is a challenge though....but there is more parking in the back-back. Lol! Parking lot gets pretty busy. The door to this place though ...sketchy lol

I've come here several times for birthday celebrations. Service is good, albeit a bit slow at times depending on your group size. The Ambiance is fun and perfect for parties, especially with a soju tower. The Korean food is EXCELLENT - best fried chicken I've ever had. If you plan on getting this crispy deliciousness, I recommend getting it with the sauce on the side so you get to experience the crunch. I love the sauces as well - recommend the honey garlic.The katsu curry and fried rice are also solid. Definitely recommend the Creamy Seafood Udon - absolutely delightful with just the right chewy and creamy textures. The rice cakes also have the perfect amount of chewiness.If you're looking for amazing Korean food, I highly recommend this place!

No longer serving sushi at this time. This is more of a Korean bar spot to hang with lots of friends to share dishes and drink. Service wasn't bad,they had a table bell to ring the server. Food was okay, food had portions to share, explains the pricing. Would come back with lots of friends for drinking.

Absolutely horrible food here.. Don't come here!!!! I told the server that it wasn't good and very sweet, they still made me pay for it. I couldn't switch it out or nothing. I had to give it to my dog. Literally, a waste of 30 bucks and I left hangry not even hungry. They will act like they don't know English so BEWARE!!!!!!! Horrible and worst experience ever!!!!

Solid Korean food in the area, with the pocha vibe and menu. The service was good and I'd recommend the chicken and tteokbokki. The only improvement could be the tofu/pork belly - the pork belly cuts were too fatty. We couldn't eat a few since it was all fat/no meat. Great visual appeal though!

Love this gem in federal way, the food is so good with quite a lot of selection. The teppokki is delicious, and the chicken katsu is Really good. The vibe of the place is very k pop. I haven't got bad service here so that's a plus to me.

Came in here for the first time and the food was soooo good! Made fresh to order and the serving sizes did not play. At first I was a little iffy about the prices, but once the food came out, I then knew why! They do not play around with their serving sizes here! Very good comfort food. The only thing that's leaving me from leaving a 5 star is the service. I wish they paid more attention to their customers and checked up on us. It took a while for someone to come take our order and it was not busy. Other than that, food is a1

This is where I go to eat 돈까쓰(pork katsu) with cheese. It tastes just like what I had in korea when I was a kid. Definitely recommend!

3.5 stars is what I'll give this placeThere seems to be other restaurants in this complex thats open late into the night as well which is really nice IMOWe came here late into the night around 10pm and upon arrival there were 2 people running the floor. It wasn't that busy and they quickly got us seated and got our drinks out. Slowly you can see more and more people coming in and soon after restaurant was pretty busy. We quickly placed our order and got the fried chicken wings, beef brisket champong, seafood udon, Korean tonkatsu and kimchi fried riceThe fried chicken was delicious; very flavorful and juicy! Loved it! But I did not love the price. We got 9 pieces and it came out to $25 which was definitely priceyBeef brisket champong was good; now I kinda wished we gotten the seafood and it was big enough to share between 2-3 peopleSeafood udon; not sure why we thought this was going to be like a seafood pasta with udon noodles, but this was definitely soup and pretty good as well but not big enough to share between 2-3 people unless you're fine with small portionKorean tonkatsu w/cheese bomb: this was good, wasn't a fan of the corn and cabbage salad that came with it. The cheese pull on this was amazing! But I don't think I'll get this again Kimchi fried rice: this was delicious and flavorful but not something I'll get againOverall the service was pretty okay since there were only 2 people and it got pretty busy but they do have a call button at the table if you feel like you need to get their attention which they responded to pretty fast (there's only so much that could be done) the food was alright; some I enjoyed and some I didn't and I think this place is pricey for what you're getting.

Service was good. Good was great! Kids approved since they are extremely picky eaters.
My s.o. and I stopped by here to grab dinner before our movie, but unfortunately we didn't get to sit down. We picked this spot because the reviews were pretty good. When we first got in, we noticed the guy at the register was busy so we waited. The two girls he was helping finally left, but it took him a couple minutes to say anything to us. When he finally had time he said it would be a couple minutes and then left. There were several other workers who passed by but none offered to help us. We stood by the door like idiots for several more minutes (at this point we had stood there for almost 10min with no help). We then decided to leave and go somewhere else where we might actually get seated and finally eat. I don't like saying it was a racial issue, but last night felt like that (and I've had experience with racism before). I only say this because when we got in, 1. All their customers were Asian (we were the only colored people at that moment), 2. There was plenty of open seating, and 3. There were plenty of servers we watched walked by us.

Nice late night hang out w/ good finger food options. The fried chicken wings were very good. Really crispy and tender inside. Cheese corn was sweet, served on a sizzling iron w/ melted cheese and a little red chili pepper. I went to try the kimbap, it's not included or available in the new menu as of 8/5/2023. The spicy noodle... be warned, is VERY spicy. California roll was pretty good w/ equal filling to rice ratio.

Food is awesome! David is so professional. Love this place. :)

Honestly wanted to give a good review for this location because all the time I went they had a great customer service. It is hard to find restaurants with good customer service and good food. This place has really good quality food but last time visiting, I experienced the worst customer service. The asian worker (not the Korean girl) had the ugliest attitude, the way she snapped the menu out my friends hand, nodding head and rolling her eyes because my friend spilled water on the floor and with attitude telling us to move so she can clean and after wiping the floor, with attitude she threw the paper towels on the side, also forgot our orders.
