Bold flavors and fresh ingredients. I really enjoyed the cajun shrimp, prepared perfectly. Speedy service but i feel as if it would be difficult to have a seat a table when it gets busy. Easy to find and plenty of parking.

Expensive for what it is and flavor was not there. Tried it once haven't gone back. Hopefully they will reopen with refreshed menu.

Very good food very good people. I will be retuning!

Decided to try this new place based on good reviews. Food is not bad however its more like korean fusion food(way far from authentic Korean dishes) Portions of the food are way too small for the price.

Dude. Cheesy tots alone are worth the trip! I had a pulled pork sandwich and my son had a Cuban sandwich... both were terrific! I recommend

I know the pandemic hit hard, and made it difficult for new restaurants to open. So I don't want to give this place 1 star. As a Korean, I was super excited to try a new Korean spot so close to home! However, I'm not sure I feel the food tastes Korean. We ordered the Katsu, Spicy Pork Bulgogi, and Japchae. The katsu was paper thin and came with, for whatever reason, bbq sauce for dipping. The spicy pork bulgogi seems to have been made with red pepper flakes and not fermented pepper paste. As for the japchae, it was extremely disappointing. The flavors were mute and the only taste I got was of bell pepper and soy sauce. I doubt the cooks even used sesame seed oil. Now let's talk sides. There were eggs in my dosirak, but they tasted like Japanese rolled eggs. There were pink vegetables that were either radishes or beets, menu says radishes, but I'm not familiar with this style of radish. The kimchi was a mess. It seemed like pan fried kimchi, but they just chopped it into tiny bits and it tasted of fermented fish (Not my personal style of kimchi, but definitely not a kimchi a Korean mother would make). Overall, definitely not an authentic Korean eating experience. I wouldn't recommend eating here if you're looking for Korean food. If you're looking for a resemblance of a Korean eating experience, just look to any other generic chain Korean restaurant. Heck, Shinjuku is down the street and has better Korean food than here.

Pros: - Food is fantastic. Cajun shrimp, corn, and potatoes were fresh and not mushy like a lot of Boiling Crab type places, and sausage was good too. Soy garlic and spicy wings were also crispy and juicy, and level 1 had a good enough kick that didn't over power and allowed us to enjoy the flavors of all dishes. Japchae was good with enough bulgogi beef. Bulgogi dosirak/bento to go also looked great and can't wait to eat for my lunch on Monday. - Service was excellent. We were starving after a round of golf at El Dorado, and the food came out in about 10-15 minutes. Waiter also brought us extra napkins and a scrap bin for the shrimp and chicken bones without us having to ask. Chef also brought us some free pickled radishes and asked to just let them know if we need anything. - Drink selection is vast. Almost every soda and bottled drinks like Snapple. - Kitchen and bathroom were both spotless. I worked in the restaurant industry, so I know that both of these mean they take cleanliness seriously. (Bathroom is in the back so you could see the kitchen from there also). Cons: - Indoor seating is a bit limited but aren't they all right now. They moved tables in/out so that's cool. I'll definitely be back. Seems like it's family owned also, so always good to support such places.

We have done take-outs from this local Korean eatery with a catching name several times already. We love their bibim bowl which offers many protein selections (beef bulgogi, spicy pork, grilled chicken, salmon and even shrimp), served with mixed greens, red cabbage, cucumber, purple barley rice, and topped with a fried egg. It's always nicely crafted. The easy access, clean environment and easy parking make pick-up a pleasant experience; drawing us from our usual go-to favorite Korean restaurant in La Palma. The 10% discount adds another incentive. Just wish their kimchi can be more to what we are used to.

So gooood! I've become a fan of korean wings and the Soy Spicy Level 1 wings were delicious. So garlicky and left my mouth on fire. I can't imagine what the level 2 hotness is like. The bibimbop japchae was also quite good. Online ordering was a breeze, and the food was ready quickly. Next time, I want to try the bulgogi desirak.

Excellent food and service here! I've come here several times now and the consistency of how good the food and service here is what made me want to write a review. So far, I've ordered the salmon bibimbowl, bulgogi dosirak, kimchi fries, bulgogi fries, and quinoa salad, and each one are flavorful and full meal portions. A small tip, if you enjoy brown rice, give the barley rice a try! Another review said that the flavors aren't dumbed down and the flavors are authentic, which I totally agree with. This place is worth the visit - you really can't go wrong with any of the menu items. It's just all so good!
The food is delicious!!!! The service is great the tall guy (I don't know his name) is super nice and helpful

Everything is super delicious from the kimchee fried rice, beef bulgogi with rice, japchae, down to the bulgogi fries. Kimchee was ripe and perfect. Thank you for opening an authentic dosirak joint so much closer to home. Highly recommend! A big thanks for the extra helping of kimchee side :-)

Got the side of bulgogi fries and it is so good you would be able to eat it all by yourself! The price is pretty worth it and non expensive. The inside of the restaurant is nice and the workers are welcoming goin in and out! Packaging is really simple and cute. Definitely my new go-to for some yummy bulgogi fries! I got me and my partner an order an order to not share haha also order from their website for a 10% off discount ;)

This place is amazing!! Not only is the food bomb, but the quick service is top notch. Everything made fresh and aesthetically packed for take out meals. I don't think you can wrong with anything here. They definitely will be seeing me on a weekly basis:))

Was around this around and just want to eat something. Found this restaurant on yelp that seem interesting. Little did I know, this place become one of my top 10 restaurant to visit again. Ps. Make sure to go straight into the plaza rather than using Google map that will instruct you to head for the back door instead.
