I came for food… it turned out there is no dine in any more… big freezers in the middle of the space … should update the google description so people do not still think it’s a restaurant

Came here on two different days when it was supposed to be open to find it closed. No one answered the phone and the door was locked

Came here during opening hours for lunch on Saturday and it wasn't dine in. Very misleading and disappointing. Why put a sign that says dine in and takeout when that's not the case. Maybe it's only for dinner?

As other people have stated this place is hidden and you think GPS is telling you a wrong direction .. but trust the instructions. I was excited to find a place that specialized in samgyetang soup. The chicken is stewed and all the good rice garlic ginseng is inside the chicken. I have not been here during peak hours yet but was one of the last customers one night to drop by. For soup lovers out there, as the weather chills and you need your bones to warm up from the inside this is the soup for you. The metal falls off the bone. It has clean finish with a slight thicker viscosity due to porridge and a hint of sweetness from dates and ginseng root. The kimchi is a bit spicy for me but I like the garlic chive leek looking side dish. It has a nice tang and sweetness that goes well worth with soup.

Came down with a tummy sickness with the bf- so we headed over to this location for some healing medicinal Korean Samgyetang. Was a bit disappointed to find that there were no extra ginseng, antlers, or herbs added to the soup for the price of $19.99. Typically in Los Angeles, the extras are added to give the additional medicinal oomph. The place was bare bones empty but I did notice that a lot orders were placed via doordash and take-out. Given it is a Samgyetang place, most people won't be dining in because they are probably healing at home. The side dishes were just okay. We did feel a lot better after eating our shared Samgyetang.

Great place for Korean comfort food! Yes the menu is limited but it's only so that they specialize and do what they do best: samgyetang! It's fall off the bone goodness. We also got a couple noodle dishes which complimented the chicken well. And the owner was very friendly and hospitable and felt like I was welcomed into her home.

Really happy to try this place out! The ladies who took our order and made our food were really nice.We even got seated and server iced water as we waited for our takeout! ?We ordered pajeon, gamjajeon, deulkkae samgyetang, and kongguksu.I cant speak for the kongguksu since I didnt order that but, deulkkae samgyetang was delicious! The samgyetang comes with salt on the side to season if you need more flavor but, if you can’t eat super salty food samgyetang is perfect since it comes barely even seasoned.The sides had a good balance of flavor and spice while I ate it with my samgyetang. ?Also the samgyetang is made with a whole chicken so, you could share this with another person!You might think eating hot food on a hot day is refreshing but, it was really satisfying.Although, the menu is limited right now, I can’t wait to come back when the old menu returns. All the food looks delicious!

Small Korean restaurant amongst the many Korean restaurants in Federal Way. This place is in its own small building, hidden in the back of the parking lot of a strip mall. Went on a weekend afternoon and maybe had one or two other parties in the shop. Seems like a mom and pop restaurant.When we went, they had a limited menu, mostly just their samegyetang and some small dishes. Of course we got the samegyetang. It was the first time I've had samegyetang, and I was impressed. The soup was really rich and creamy, with a noticeable ginseng flavor. The pot doesn't look that big, but there is whole young chicken in the pot, and it is stuffed with rice and jujubes. The chicken was very tender from the cooking process. Really it was close to a soupy chicken rice than a soup. I've had samegyetang afterwards at other places, and they don't taste quite the same as this place. Definitely a hidden gem. Would come back to try other stuff when they have their full menu back.

We came here because it’s high rating. But the menu is changed. It’s super small now. Only three soup and 2 noodles is all they have. We ordered a kimchi pancake, a whole chicken soup and spicy noodles. Pancake was not very good, spicy noodles were okay. Only the soup is petty good. Over all, I will give it a 2 stars. Won’t go back again.

Excellent. The daikon kimchi was very good, but whatever the daikon pieces soaked in the dark brown sauce was, magnificent.
The food were home-made to perfection. I would recommend to try everything in this place. I had only went twice, but it is safe to say I am addicted to the deliciousness.Please follow the King county vaccine proof mandatory have your vaccine proof ready in your cellphone. It is basic respect to hard working staff to prepare those amazing delicious food.

Cho took care of our party and made very good recommendations as to our food. We ordered the potstickers, beef ribs soup, pork rib stew and the chicken soup with hand cut noodles. All 3 soups were excellent in taste and each soup had their special flavor. They were rich in taste and left you feeling very happy. The potstickers were also excellent in taste. We will definitely return there. Thanks you Cho!!!

Don't judge by the location or parking lot with the parked bus. Inside is very clean, big and has good food. Good Deulkkae Kalguksu (Hand-cut Noodles or dumplings in a perilla seed soup) is gentle creamy soup with noticeable deulkkae taste. Comforting hot noodle soup. $13.99 5* Maeun Dwaeji GalbiJjim (Spicy Pork Spare Ribs in a pot) is soupy with sweet gochujang tasting tender pork ribs. $15.99 4* Banchan was a great variety: kimchi, garlic stems, zucchini, bean sprouts, potatoes, eggplant. Located driveway to it is on south side of 312th St and is between 2 other driveways to other stores. Take the middle one just after the bush.

Side dishes were delicious and refilled frequently! Very friendly customer service as well. A hidden gem! Definitly going again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ we ordered the 육개장 & 칼국수!

If you need a hearty meal this is the place to go. Recommend the spicy pork short rib soup and the octopus kimchi porridge!
