Though the food was very good, everything had really good portions, Kim chi wasn't very strong though. The seafood pancakes were very crunchy, Kim chi fried tasted good. Peaceful atmosphere, very easy to talk. Food served fast.

All the menu items recommended by the owners/staff were remarkable! My family loved it. Great portions, wonderful ambiance and family friendly vibe, and we accidentally stayed way past closing and no one rushed us out. Suprised there wasn’t a line out the door on a Saturday night. Highly recommend.

Maybe we did not know which dishes to pick. I was not hungry but Dad want to try ( I think he had this place before). He like the Green Onion Pancake. Even tho it was pretty good, I was worried Dad ordered the large for $ 27? but he ordered the small which was only $ 18 ? I believe. It is kind of expensive for Pancake but it was good but i prefer Chinese pancake as Korean had other things in it ( not only Green Onion). The Tofu Stew were not very good. Since Dad order seafood, I thought it would be good but the soup taste like Instant noodle packet. Just not very good for 20.99. Dad should have tried the Ramen ( with seafood, only $ 18.99? The thing that was very good were the free side dishes. The free side dishes were delicious ( KimChi, bean sprout, dried tofu & regular tofu too, Glass Noodle, delicious, & seaweed). I would say the free side dishes are delicious here, Im just not sure the Tofu stew is good. The table beside us order some type of Pure Beef. It look really good. I notice later that the Beef dishes ( Ribeye & also Ribs) were mostly 30 dollars ( or around 30 dollars) which i guess is good deal. But there is one Beef dish that is 67 dollars ( I believe it is braised so that is why that one Beef dish cost more). They also had some type of Fried Chicken Appetizer for $ 27. I just dont recommend the Tofu Stew. The thing I did not like is nobody greeted us. I am patient, but my Dad is not. Since nobody greet us, we choose a table. Then a lady come out and tried to force us to to sit immediate next to window. We did not want hot sun ( so we insist to sit one table away from hot sun). I notice other customers later pull down the shade. They should prepare with shade if they expect you to sit next to hot sun. I do understand hostess is only try to do her job, but if we are the first customer, you should just let us sit away from the sun. I almost told Dad that we should just go to Gyu which is an attractive japanese nearby or just go to the noodle soup place which might be more expensive but at least better food. Oh, and where the lady wanted us to sit all the tables ( for two are very close to one another making atmosphere a little crowded). The only good thing is they dont force you to tip 18percent like most Chinese. They give you option to choose 15 percent.

My mom and a group of her friends came here last evening and ordered the Pan Fried Flat Fish. When it arrived, they noticed a strong fishy odor. After each taking a bite, they agreed it tasted off and politely told their waitress they were concerned it might be spoiled.
Instead of apologizing, the waitress snapped that the fish had arrived that morning and refused a refund because the dish had been partially eaten. My mom explained they weren’t seeking a refund, only warning the kitchen so no one else got sick, but the waitress accused them of trying to get the dish for free. They even offered to let her taste what was left; she declined, saying it was unsanitary to eat food they’d already tried, despite most of it being untouched.
They were shocked by her attitude and the apparent disregard for food safety. I wouldn’t recommend dining here.

Quite honestly, the food was amazing. Fresh, delicious, and fast. Not to mention all the sides were to die for. Will absolutely come back again. I recommend the bimpab or soy sauce chicken

my go to place for tofu stew 🍲 the owner is a very sweet person and took great care of us- the server kept loading us up with side dishes. I got the dumpling tofu stew with ramen and a side of rice, my friend got a beef bibimbap- both were amazingly cooked. Highly highly recommend!!!

I was hesitant to come in because this is the only restaurant in the area without a long line for a Saturday lunch - but turns out the food was amazing! The service was great and they offer refills for the appetizers as well. The seafood bibimbap tastes very well. Definitely will come back!

Went here for dinner and it was super busy. Felt like it was a short staffed but that didn't bother me. I get it. They were very nice and no one was rude to us
The food was good. Wasn't amazing but I would come back again. My wife and I got different bibimbop. She got the regular bibimbop with purple rice while I got the wagu stone pot version. I highly recommend the stone pot since it has the crispy rice on the bottom. the server recommended us the pancake which we didn't try. I saw the other tables and it looks delicious
Like I mentioned earlier, I would come back again and try. hopefully the soup and the pancake would change my review.
Also to close on this review, I would really like to emphasize that the price was great compared to the amount of food you're getting.

Used to be a decent neighborhood restaurant. Way worse now. Even the rice is awful. Under the impression that the ownership has changed.
Have been here a few times. Generally average food and okay service.They have messed up my order a few times but are usually good about fixing it.
Should be at least 3 stars, however, this past time they forgot numerous side dishes and entire main dishes on my take away order. They were rude on the phone and asked what I wanted- the owner himself offered the side dishes for pickup, not delivery, or a refund. Returning to pick up food would take an hour round trip which wouldnt work for my event. I wanted to be refunded which the owner then refused to do “because the charge already happened” but that he would give me store credit or cash. When I asked for clarification he hung up and when I dialed back he said was too busy and to come in.
I later went in and they rudely had me wait for another 20 minutes at the counter while processing other customers who came after me. I assumed this was because the refund process would be lengthy. Literally they just had to type in my order number and click void but that was apparently not possible to do without me driving all the way back and then having to wait. The owner also asked me to come behind the counter to help click on the screen. Seemed like he was trying to annoy me into leaving.
Would have been 3-5 stars if they had followed through on refunding or delivered to make up for their mistake without making me jump through so many hoops- making me come in unnecessarily, them lying about refunds not being possible, making me wait in an attempt that I just gave up, etc.
