Comfy, old school Korean restaurant in the South Bay. Everything smells amazing, had the bibim noodles for lunch and it's the perfect blend of spicy, sweet and savory. Really want to come back and try the galbi

BEWARE! Don't get anything from here and save your self the time and money. I ended up having to tell the lady I couldn't pay for the water kimchi soup. Horrible! I ended up getting food poisoning barley eating the soup and side dishes. She was nice up until I mentioned about the soup flavor. I'm half Korean and my mom never makes it like this... I felt bad so I paid for the dumplings out of compassion. DO NOT GO HERE!

Beware of overcharges!!!! What a real disappointment evening. After reading good reviews, because it has few reviews, I bet it was a new place, but it wasn't and is just a mom and pop place. We were the first table sat, but it took about 5 minutes before server finally came to pour iced tea and take the order. The tea wasn't that good and we waited about 35 minutes before the food finally came. During the waiting times, server never came to ask if we wanted more water and was so rushy with only three tables including ours being served. My pork bulgogi was the best part of our dining experience while both of my company ordered chicken bulgogi and Pork belly bulgogi and both came in cold and tasteless. Both side dishes and rice were good, especially rice were nice and hot. When I got the check, pork belly bulgogi were over charged by $2 on our bill, server told me it was the menu's error, rather not apologize and fix prices. So beware when you get the bill if you eat there, but we will not go back there unfortunately.

My review is influenced by what around it. The soup and side dishes were okay, but given the surrounding restaurants this place was pretty lacking. I went late in the day and thought the side dishes had been left out a little too long through the day. Ordered their dumplings and a soup, both were okay but not great.

Stopped by for some Korean comfort food. Typical Korean rustic atmosphere, food in that mentality is... excellent! Mom and pop style, parking in rear. Kim - Chee is good, not soured.

The dumplings are frozen dumplings, and the food comes out too late and no comment.

Ive tried stir fried pork belly, spicy prok bulgogi, spicy chicken stew, spicy chicken jjim, pork kimchi stew, so far... and the best was spicy chicken stew and stir fried pork belly and others were meh... spicy chicken stew is black pepper and jalapeno hot spicy. and its pretty spicy. but the stew taste kinda varies depending on the days... and it takes pretty long time to cook anything really because they dont really have any other employees besides themselves... serving and cooking. But this restaurants only known by koreans and ran by regular customers. I would go every once in every 1-2weeks just eat their spicy chicken stew.

Cooked by the owner herself. Not your typical dine in restaurant experience but the food is very good. If you miss your mom's cooking. This will hit the spot. Their smoked pork ribs are amazing.

It opens on Monday and closes on Sunday, but Google spelled it wrong, so I had no choice but to go the next Monday and eat chicken doritang and somaek, which my friend and I like?? If you go on Sunday, the door will be closed ?♀️... Chicken doritang is very spicy for us. I liked it, so I ordered it more spicy. Highly recommended for a drink!Sunday close & Monday open! Wrong info on google... But best chicken stew & we like extra spicy ? & beer soju ??
