I've been going here for years, and I'm happy to report that nothing much has changed. I think nowadays we mostly just do take-out and eat at home. While we wait, we do some shopping. Depending on what you order, some things are pricy, so we only come here occasionally. This time around, I ate here with my family.
Once you walk in, you're seated right away. It doesn't really give a welcoming vibe, but it's pretty chill. They have plenty of seating, and it's minimally decorated. If you look to your left, you can see some people prepping the grab and go lunches/meals in the store. The food is always made fresh and made to order, so be patient. They bring everything out as it's done. They also provide you with hot tea right away.

We ordered:

1. Lunch kal bi - May seem pricey, but I feel it's standard for any Korean restaurant. It comes out sizzling when they place it on the table. The meat was very tender and flavorful. It comes with a scoop of rice and 4 side dishes.

2. Pork soft tofu - This is one of my brothers' go-to dishes. It is nice and hot during this cold winter morning we've been having. Place the raw egg on top, and it cooks right away. Vey good comfort food.

3. Sushi regular - The sushi was fresh and rice perfectly cooked. I loved the variety they provide as well.

4. Original mixed chicken wings - I think you can't go here without ordering it. This time around, we ordered mixed, which is wings, drumettes, and boneless. This takes a little while. It was the last to arrive, actually. It was definitely piping hot, cooked perfectly, and so crunchy.

5. Kimchi fried rice - I ordered this to go for my husband, and it was a huge portion. It had the perfect amount of spice that just kept you wanting to eat more.

Overall, it was a good experience. We beat the lunch rush, so it was pretty quiet.

Worst possible service. Its not the customers fault for you being short staffed. Not saying it's the servers fault but I've never seen a server mistreat paying customers with such rudeness. Don't use the old fashioned k drama type of intimidation on your customers. It's just not right. Couldn't believe my eyes. Your customer is already being nice about it by asking nicely. Don't snap at people.

This place is inside the Korean market. Limited parking and limited pay street parking. Cleanness is about average. Seats are also limited maybe about 10 tables.
Foods:
Side dishes are good and good favor, but very small portions, no refill or have to pay extra for refills.
Tofu soup: ordered combination tofu soup but it's a little plain and it's not hot enough to cook the raw egg. Fish egg one is flavorful and good temperature. I would say tofu soups are 3.5 stars.

Small sit in restaurant inside a Asian super market. Although nothing to rave about, it better than I expected.

I love coming to this market and picking up food when I’m really hungry and need to eat now! It’s perfect for picking up what I need and having my take-home food ready when I get home.

Tasty and not too expensive.

This place is decent. But they have off and on days in terms of food taste....some days they're good some other they're forgetting to season things so all you get is watered-down diluted dishes...sometimes when you order fried things you can taste a burnt flavor because they forgot to change the deep fryer's oil.When they're on top of everything they really do have good food.....but when they're not, their food quality really goes down.

Delicious Korean restaurant tucked inside a Korean supermarket. Fast, friendly service and reasonably priced. Everything we’ve tried is great! Our go-to Korean spot.

So glad we tried this place! Really good Korean food. It’s inside the supermarket, but it’s a full restaurant.

Of course, food was good! Place is like one of those hole-in-the-wall restaurants you might see in a K-drama!
