“I think my visit here was absolutely amazing! The customer service was great! I had asked the waitress if they had Kimbap which they do! I am really greatful for as well. I had ordered two kimbaps for to go. The waitress was very nice and kind!

I think the atmosphere was great over there. I had sat over by the bar and minded my own business. The staff there was very nice as well. Seemed like a very cool and calming place to go to during the weekdays but I think during the weekends could be very enjoyable and fun.

The service time for waiting for my food was very quick! The waitress told me it would take about 15-20 minutes for the kimbaps to be made but I wouldn’t even say it had taken that long to be honest which I was not in a rush, I had all day. The Kimbaps itself were phenomenal and cheap as well as super filling. I would’ve probably gotten away with just ordering one order of it but I really enjoy eating kimbaps. I also was given a side of Kimchi. The kimchi was absolutely amazing, I don’t know if it’s home made but it definitely not store bought kimchi.

I have to give this place a solid 9 out of 10! I definitely need to come back during my days off and actually dine in at this place! If you are concerned about what they serve, I had posted a current menu on this post as well.
