TL;DR: best place for single to eat out at noon, especially for employee with limited time for lunch. You can just come and order the tonkatsu set, served with shredded cabbage and miso soup, or katsudon (egg, mushroom, zucchini). Normally don't need to wait at noon, and somewhat near Aberdeen skytrain station. One star off just for lacking of vegetable variation and normally busy at night.Been a loyal customer since soft opening (around pandemic starts), first impression was "this place takes its name to extreme, every area of the menu has chicken in it, even the house salad has chicken". It became my chicken go-to place since the first visit.However, it is the discovery of fish tonkatsu turning this place to my weekly visit. The tonkatsu set itself has very balanced diet mentioned above, and the deep fired fish is not as heavy as other meat options. Despite been covered by paper thin crisply cloth, the fish meat is lightly cooked and seasoned so that the raw taste and texture are preserved. It also comes with a house made tartar(ish?) sauce which can refresh your taste buds.Since then I only order fish tonkatsu or fish/cheese pork combo from this place, until accidentally ordered a fish katsudon. From the name, I thought it is just the tonkatsu but putting everything in a bowl, but it has very different dinning experience than tonkatsu thanks to the special katsudon sauce and mixed vegetables. It is the best katsudon I've ever had in my life and soon became second favourite dish.This place is a lowkey hidden spot in Richmond with tons of Asian restaurant, like the tonkatsu and katsudon (and cheese ball) on the menu largely promoting its chicken. Hope my review can help customers discovering the full potential of this place.

I had the chicken platter, and the fried chicken was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, which made it very delicious. There was also a generous portion size. The tonkatsu was also crispy and had a great meaty flavor. The tteokbokki was pleasantly spicy and sweet, and the combination of calamari tempura, egg, and gim-mari (seaweed rolls) complemented each other very well, making it very tasty. Service was excellent.
Usually comes here for food and takeout and everytime they provide exceptional and friendly service. Food was amazing and the waitress, Jessica, she was friendly, very attentive and provided excellentcustomer care. OZ bibimbap and katsu sandwich was good and would recommend.

Spend my birthday here w. Family, there were no one other than us so it was really nice and quiet. We ordered spicy rice cake, kimchi fried rice, butter garlic chicken and a spicy chicken which were all good. My favorite was the butter garlic one i could not stop eating it, very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I did find the kimchi fried rice a bit too oily for my taste but overall everything was great!

The two of us went and ordered 4 menu items, including 1 chicken for a late-night snack! When I think about it carefully, I wonder if it's because I was eating Korean food while traveling...It's just a delicious restaurant. No words needed... especially the stir-fried pork and kimchi stew are really great!!!!! Please come a lot. I didn't understand the rating of 4.4. It's a higher place. This place is haha!!!!!

Korean food is delicious. I especially recommend tofu, kimchi, tonkatsu, gamjatang, squid rice bowl, and bibimbap
It's been a while since I missed Korean food, so I went here and the tofu kimchi was really delicious ?? The bibimbap was delicious... I heard tonkatsu is also famous, so I'm going to try that next time!! I will visit again ◡̈

I found the food just average. I’ve had better Korean food in Richmond. The Half & Half Boneless Chicken could have been crispier. The Beef Bulgogi Hotpot was alittle too sweet tasting. Didn’t taste the wow factor in the Japchae.The service was friendly and food came out fast. The waitress kept our teapot full.Would I come back? Probably not. Only wanted to try it out because it popped up on my IG.

I used to come here often for lunch and dinner, even takeout from fantuan. I picked up my girlfriend from the airport at 8:30 this evening and came here to eat (because I saw they were open until 12pm). But when we arrived at the door, we found that it was already closed. It wasn't even 9 o'clock at that time, which was really disappointing.
