Just ate here for the first time. The food is absolutely delicious and the servers are nice and prompt. I will definitely be coming back!
Very nice and kind service professionals. Food was quick, delish and quality. Clean and kept at perfect temperature.
Get yourself quickly past the strip mall vibe, and you'll find some really delicious comforting Korean food here. We had the seafood pancake which was loaded with various chopped seafood. The galbi was tender with just the right proportion of fat and full of umami. The tofu soup tasted like the one my friend's mother made for us at her home in Seoul. And the fried chicken was among the best I've had anywhere. The little dishes of banchan were tasty too. We'll definitely return...read full review
