Really enjoyed the food here. The Jokbal was clean and savory without any strong smell. The Donkatsu was also tasty and the serving size was quite large. I left very satisfied!

Absolutely delicious experience! 😍 The Galbi-jjim was the highlight of the meal — incredibly flavorful, tender, and served in a very generous portion. It’s easily enough to share with 3–4 people, making it perfect for a group dinner. 🍖🔥
We also tried the cheese katsu as our second dish, and it did not disappoint at all. 🧀✨ Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the melted cheese added a rich and satisfying touch.
Another thing that stood out was the variety and quality of the side dishes (banchan). 🥢 Everything we tried was fresh, well-seasoned, and complemented the main dishes perfectly. It really elevated the overall dining experience.
While the prices are a bit on the higher side 💰, the portion sizes, quality of ingredients, and overall taste make it absolutely worth it. 👍 I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying and memorable meal!

My family and I regularly order takeout from this place. The food has incredible sonmat — the flavors and textures are beautifully balanced, and you can really taste the decades of experience behind each dish. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely kind. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for comforting, authentic Korean food. The banchan is excellent as well, which is always a great sign of the overall quality of the entire menu.

It looks like a hole in the wall, and not quite in a good way. Service ok but they probably don't speak English regularly, so you should speak Korean here. Food is kind of standard,maybe dirtier than expected. Plenty of other Korean restaurants in the region who do speak English so you might as well go to them

Great selection of Korean food that can satisfy most cravings. Don't let the empty lot scare you. Consider this restaurant a hole in the wall type joint.

Comfort Korean food , hot soup Galbi tang was good for me.
They have a pig knuckle meat dish with vegetables and kimchi plus fermented shrimp dipping sauce.
Lunch specials available and just enough to try a bit of everything.
They have a white sesame seed and noodles served cold.
Mul naeng myun or cold noodle soup also fine but I’ve had it better at other places.
It might be not as easy to serve and explain menu items to non Korean speaking people, so that might detract from a great dining experience.
All in all, I enjoyed most of the food.

It was really hard to communicate, so we ended getting a dish base off of the suggestion of the owner. And it was not good

The jok-bal smelled. It was going bad. The waitresses provided great service, but their main dish is jok-bal, it had the pork smell plus the going bad smell. Smell before you eat.

Lunch specials are a fantastic deal, I had the 갈비탕 and the wife had 해장국 and the total came to less than $30 (after tax but before tip). It came with 4 or 5 side dishes, which the waitress refilled for us even before we asked.

I went to the stewed black cod because I heard it was delicious, but it was very salty. It was too salty, so the first bite wasn't good. I fixed it and served it again, but it wasn't that good. My friend said the cabbage was also very tough... The server was friendly. It is said to be crowded in the evening due to golf customers, and the food does not come out quickly. It would have been nice if side dishes were prepared in advance.
Parking: There isn't much business, so parking is generous.
