“The food tastes like a homemade meal my mom used to cook in Korea. It’s not Americanized Korean food, but truly authentic Korean cuisine. The restaurant is clean with a modern atmosphere, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Everything is absolutely delicious, and the whole experience is wonderful. I highly recommend this place.“

“One of the best Korean Restaurant in town. I ate with my 2 friends, and we ordered the Rose Galbi Jim. I really liked the spices and the soup of the galbi, blended really well with the mozzarella cheese. Moreover, the texture of the tteokbokki was so soft and tasty. At the same time, the portion of the Galbi was so big, we couldn’t finish it so we took some back home.
the other best part was that you could refill the banchan. Would recommend you to ask more for the tofu and kimchi, really mouthwatering. the waiter and waitress were kind and friendly, they served you fast.
we visited the restaurant quite late in the afternoon, so we didn’t need to queue since there were plenty tables. the parking area was big too.“

“This place is an absolute gem. We are so lucky to have such a place in the Richmond/El Cerrito area.

I haven’t had a bad meal here. Fried chicken and tofu soups are all excellent. Portions are ample. Highly recommended if you love Korean cuisine.“

“Picked this place at random yesterday for breakfast. . Everything was great. Told some friends about it. One couple was there a few hours after we went and today four friends went based on our recommendation. Positive experience for everyone. We will be back.“

“So glad to find out they reopened after being closed a while during the pandemic. Currently you have to pre-order a day in advance for pickup so it takes a little planning but so worth it.Their fried chicken is so crispy. I ordered it with waffle fries and they say they only fire up the fries just before your pickup time so that they're fresh. When I went to pick up my order, they let me know it would just be a few minutes because the fries were finishing and when he came out with my order, he said he accidentally made the salad but included both the fries and salad and threw in a vanilla pudding. Everything was so delicious. Even the bonus pudding had flecks of vanilla bean and tasted so much better than the instant stuff. The chicken and fries were enough for 2 meals.“

“I'm a big fried chicken person so I decided to try this place as it's new to me.

I got the half original fried chicken which was pretty good. Skin batter was crispy, meat tasted fresh and was well seasoned. The dark meat I was better than the white meat as it was a little dry. That was because they cut the breast and thigh in pieces which I'm not fond of. This means quicker frying but odd pieces that make the meat not moist. Would go back to try the other flavors and wings.

I also got the tteokbokki which I did like. Large portion and great taste. I do like that they put a lot of vegetables and fish cake with the rice cake. However I wish it was more spicy as I found it very mild.

I ordered for pick up, food was hot and ready when I got there. Ladyat the counter was very nice. Overall traditional korean taste and food was good. My son and I both rated each dish a 7.5/10 which is good but we've had better korean fried chicken and tteokbokki elsewhere. However I would go there again to try other dishes.“

“Food Very tasty 🤤 authentic Korean food delicious friendly staff decor trendy modern nice clean.“

“Great food and quick service! A must try place if you’re in the area!“

“There’s nothing authentic about this place. The bbq is a 100% americanized version of real Korean bbq. With that being said the food itself overall was still good and the service was good as well. The bonchon wasn’t bad and the kimchi was pretty decent. The steamed eggs were sweet when they’re suppose to be savory and the kimchi jiggae wasn’t bad. Being Korean I’m gonna be more critical than the average reviewer.“
