Cute tiny store. People are friendly here. The food is tasty. I ordered the spicy seafood noodle. The noodle was cooked just right (on the chewier side), and soup is packed with flavor. I wish the fishcake is a bit sweeter, but i guess it's all in the soup They also have kimbap without rice which is great option for low carbs diet.

One of the best spicy seafood ramen and Tuna Kimbap I've tasted. Friendly service. We had the shrimp fried rice, steamed dumpling, bulgogi Kimbap, and the combo (spicy seafood ramen & half order of Tuna Kimbap). The soup was delicious and spicy, but I could not stop eating it. It tasted like jangpong but with ramen. I would have like to have more seafood. All I did taste was squid and fish cake. A few slices of spam, but I don't eat meat so I put it to the side. My daughter had the dumpling, beef Kimbap and fried rice. She said she liked it all. Our only dislike was that the egg yolk on the fried rice was over cooked so there was no yolk like in the pictures and we could have done without the red bell pepper. All tasted great though. She said the Kimbap tasted better than the one at H-Mart in La Mirada. Will come back and try their fish cake soup next time and get a full order of the Tuna Kimbap!Thank you to the kind lady who kept refilling my water

My favorite is the spicy veggie noodle salad. It's perfectly delicious. Everyone is so nice and accommodating at this restaurant.Vegetarian options: They will do their best to accommodate for vegetarian patrons.

I ordered takeout for lunch, and I received a bowl of soup with my fire anchovy kimbap. The total was $8.99 plus tax, and they included a side of radish in the box. The radish was very delicious, and it saved my tongue from the spicy fire anchovies. I like that the roll had a good amount of the anchovies, but I'm not sure I would order this kind again. If I come back again, I think I'll would probably try the other kimbaps and other korean dishes.

Combo kimbap - good! Falling apart since it wasn't quite wrapped right enough but it was yummy and I would get it again Beef rice bowl - very good! Meat was tasty, sweet. Service was excellent and quick. Price is reasonable. Small ish dining area, good for couples and maybe small families but not bigger groups. Would go back!

As soon as you walk in the staff is very welcoming and friendly. They were able to answer all my questions regarding the menu. The menu was easy to read and includes pictures. The food was very good.I ordered the veggie kimbop and the fried tofu rice ball, they included an anchovy soup which was also very good. My food came out pretty fast and price was ok. Overall, my experience was really good. It was a to go order.

I came here to quickly buy some kimbap for a hike the next day. I got the bulgogi kimbap, and it was great! No complaints. This place gives hole in the wall vibes, the Korean ahjummas here are nice. Food comes out fast and I was in and out in 10 minutes.

Food used to be good but I've never recommended 돈까스 here.

The cutest little Korean mom-&-pop shop ever! Some of the most welcoming and nicest Korean ladies I have ever met at a Korean food shop.My friends and I decided to come check out this store as we were recommended by our other friends to try out one of our favorite cuisine. We drove around 20-30 minutes from the Westminster area and was definitely not disappointed whatsoever. After analyzing the many options that were provided to us, we decided to go for the spicy veggie noodles, ttebokki, pork cutlet, and tuna kimbap. It was my first time trying the spicy veggie noodles; however, that had to be my favorite. Everything mixed so well in the dish; I would describe it to be the perfect bite for a hot summer day! It was tangy, sauce-y, and light; the cold noodles were bouncy and airismatic. As for the ttebokki, the rice cakes were the best part of this dish. It was thick and chewy - just the way that I like it. For the pork cutlet, the pieces were thin and crispy. It was easy to eat and left a lot of room for me to keep wanting to come back for more. The sauce wrapped the whole dish together, allowing for a different experience in each bite. Lastly but not least, the tuna kimbap was up-to-par with my expectations. The tuna meshed so well with the veggies alongside the complementary side dishes that were handed out (kimchi and pickled radish). My group and I were left feeling extremely satisfied/full. Happy tummies! The service here deservedly needs all the recognition; each of the ladies made us feel at home. The hospitality is off the roof! The ambiance of the place was personal and modest. A great place to go if you are craving solid and reliable Korean food.

ATTENTION: THIS PLACE IS A HEALTH HAZARDwhen I had ordered to go today I had high hopes because I have eaten here before and the food taste great. However my experience this time really changed my perspective. I got my food Togo and there was a smell that I couldn't put my finger on but I didn't think too much of it, when I opened all the bags and saw there was a weird crusty stain on one of the Togo lid and this really pungent smell coming off the lid (smells like rotting fish and a gas station bathroom). We all immediately gagged at the smell. It was really that bad. I had called to see if they can give me an explanation on what it may be but they said wow you're the first to complain about something like this. Honestly, the conversation was polite on both ends ,so when we went back to get a refund on the food and give the food back (which they told us come back for plus food was never touched and containers never opened), I didn't think they would be that irritated towards me and never issued an apology or even acted apologetic. They acted hush hush about the whole thing but really angry about it the whole time but I feel like the conditions of the food was poorly handled. How did they miss a smell like that and how did they find it acceptable to put food in a container in that state. It was a Togo order, they could have totally switched out the packaging when they saw it in the first place but the fact that they found that okay makes me feel like they couldn't care less. That makes me question the sanitation and health precautions they take. I would highly suggest always checking your togo orders and take this review into mind when you eat at this restaurant. Very disappointed and will never eat here again.

Okay price and quality food good for quick lunch. Kimbap was slightly dried but it was pretty well stuffed! I'd go again
