I love their seafood pancakes, bulgogi, japchae and all the banchan. Family owned, cozy place with great food.

Terrible Service – Rude and Unprofessional
We came as a group of eight and waited almost two hours for a table because I had a good experience here before, so we were willing to be patient.
Since the restaurant was busy, we didn’t want to hold up the server while deciding on our order. Instead, we initially ordered five dishes and let the server know we would order more after looking at the menu. However, a different lady came out with a rude attitude and questioned why we had only ordered four dishes for such a large group. I explained the situation, but she ignored me, insisting we had only ordered four and needed to order more. When she finally realized we had actually ordered five, she just walked away without an apology.
When the food arrived, she slammed the dishes onto the table each time. She even took away the sauce bottle we were using and removed our side dishes while we were still eating.
This was an extremely unprofessional and discriminatory experience. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The food was okay, but definitely not worth the wait.

I wish I could put a Zero here. I walked in at 4:03. The lady behind the counter totally ignored Me. Talked to her coworker, then walked past me as though I wasn't there to greet an elderly couple who walked in after me. After that another couple came in whom she greeted in her language. Then she took my order and told me it would be 20 minutes. It's been 50 and I'm still waiting. I was the 1st person in the door as they opened back up. There are 4 couples with food who walked in and atleast 4 orders of takeout complete. My only reason for coming here is because my Wife wanted Korean food after her surgery. When I walk out of this door to take my food to my Wife, Jesus Christ Himself could not get me to walk back in these doors. I hope no one has to experience rudeness like this. 1 hour later I'm finally out the door for 4 dishes.

Nice hidden gem, legit Korean cuisine. All the locals know about this spot. Good eats, good prices, good service. They give many banchan items, I got half Daeji Bulgogi + Dak Gui (Spicy Pork + Grilled Chicken) and Seafood Pancake. Also pictured is Combo with Bulgogi + Soondubu Jjigae (Spicy Beef + Soft Tofu Stew. DEFINITELY give it a try, they don't disappoint

The best korean food around Bay Area I ‘ve ever experienced. Not only food but also the mood and service are extraordinary. Above all, I recommend seafood pancake, bbqs. If you have a chance, you ‘d better to visit this place :)
Quick and friendly service, and delicious food! We will definitely be back! My wife got the Bibimbap and I got the fried mackerel and spicy tofu soup, and the beef and veggie dumplings. Everything was incredible.

Small restaurant so I would avoid the dinner/lunch rush if you don’t like to wait. Service is prompt and top tier. Brought my family here and portions were larger than expected. Price is more than fair considering the amount of food you get.
I’m known for being the type of person that leaves with a wait longer than 10 mins or the first sign of a line… BUT if this place had me stand outside for 2 hours in the rain I’d say it was all worth it. The food here is nothing short of amazing, my entire family is full of snobs and frankly we’re terrorists at restaurants. It’s a huge point of frustration for me but this place had everyone very happy. I can confidently say it’s okay to have high expectations for this place because they won’t disappoint you. 10/10. Anyone that disagrees can fight me. I don’t give 5 stars unless it’s deserved.
