This is our go to spot for Korean food in this area. Their panchan is delicious and plentiful. Great place for vegetarian Korean food. Flavors are on point.

Everything is solidly delicious here but the star of the show are their wings. Even after delivery and probably 30-45 minutes after being made they are outstanding.
Love this place! Great food, amazing selections, and true South Korean environment. Please add service buttons just like South Korea offers! Thank you so much for wonderful flavors and cultural experience!

A big shoutout to Jay, who was working Monday afternoon. He went above and beyond to help us — super friendly, patient, and genuinely kind. He was especially sweet with my son and made the whole experience so positive. You can tell he really cares about people. We’ll definitely be coming back because of him. Thanks, Jay!

Lots of options, all the things I’ve tried across multiple visits have been delicious! The sides are amazing, free refills. The staff are very friendly and attentive. My go to is the foot bibimbap. Love the tofu soup as well.

This used to be one of my favorite Korean restaurants to go a few years back, I'm unsure what changed.
I went in alone and ordered a SPICY soft tofu soup. They *did* give me banchan- but I had to ask for them to bring some out. (I think because the people who dine alone aren't expected to want it?)
Once the soup came out - it was not visibly boiling but they still cracked the egg on top. Which is great table service EXCEPT the egg was never actually cooked, I had to eat around it.
On top of that, the soup itself had small chunks of tofu instead of the large soft block that is standard.
Also it was BLAND, not just unspicy but lacking flavor. I asked for gojujang, and kept adding it - until I tasted the sauce they gave me and realized it was just sweet and not spicy. Bleh.
I left disappointed and annoyed I had to get my soup to go to *finish cooking the egg in it at home*.
Bland undercooked food?
For prices that keep going up, where its 25+ dollars per entree?
I don't mind high prices for good food, this place just lost it's touch.
Also the music was too loud, and I think a table near me asked them to turn it off because it was gone during the second part of my meal; for the first part of my meal it was distracting and hard to tune out
Just a bad dining experience overall

Some of the best ramen I’ve ever had!
The service and the food quality are consistently excellent. I appreciate the many vegan options too. I just wish they had my favorite dish - mul naengmyeon.
