So much variety!! Everything was delicious and unlike most popular korean foods youll find in ktown. Feels super clean to eat all of these prepared veggies. Will definitely go back.

Service is amazing and the food was filling. Honestly the set between 2 people was extremely filling - if you get another dish in addition to the set, you’ll definitely have leftovers.

It looks so delicious. It's too far to go, but are you considering opening a second location in St.Petersburg, Florida? 😅 There's only one Korean restaurant here. 😭

One of the best meals that I’ve had this year. The second you walk in, it feels different like you’re at home or in a museum of history for Korean cuisine. The service is great.

This is honestly the best original Korean food in LA. Food here are not empowered by msg or additives and this is why it might not taste as shockingly good for younger people. It almost tastes like food in buddhist temple in Korea. Everything here tastes sophisticated and high end. This place is for acquired taste who appreciate real Korean food

The reviewers who think this place is expensive are either delusional, out of touch or just stupid. This is an insane amount of quality flavorful food for the money. The reviewers who said the service was rude are probably themselves entitled, also delusional, and/or also stupid. The service was politely informative, efficient, and very quick. Note the reviewers who negatively rated this restaurant and you should actively believe the opposite of any place they review.

The food was good. It’s very different from other Korean restaurants I have been to. Parking is not free at this place. They charged $3 for parking at the back lot.

Second time visiting today. There is a wow factor when you go the first time because of the way dishes are presented. But nothing to rave about. You would think soybean soup is a korean staple and can't mess up, but was so bland and diluted with water. And tofu cut to micro cubes. I eat very bland but this was just flavorless. Almost thought due to inflation are they saving their denjang to stretch as much as possible! And the chicken stew is grits plus some chicken legs thrown in. Even grits out of the box is gritty and souplike. Today's was off like diluted reheated grits as it was watery creamy with chicken fat on top. My son loved the grits/soup the first time but wouldn't eat this time. Order Kalbi on the side and was still pink inside. Banchans were all flavorless. But when mixed as bibimbap was edible and good. But better tasting it at LA's Gallerias Mall Market. Every banchan there is superior. If you dont know where the good banchan is then for non Koreans this would be a good introduction and place to experience home like cooking minus some flavor. For 2 adults and 1 child bill was $150. Would I go back? No. But if I had guest in town would take just for the experience of many dishes. If restaurant reading this review those deep fried kimchi chuns are a waste of table space. Better off with regular kimchi, or vegetable chun. Yet for $35/ person can do shrimp or seafood pancakes. Inflation making it difficult for businesses, but cutting corners by diluting customers dont go back and get 0 business.

The set menu is out of control and an experience all its own. The staff is really nice too.
Been here a few times and always order the set menu with barley rice — such a memorable experience with a feast of banchan, warming soups, and even the cutest dessert plates! The environment also mirrors the food experience, so many traditional Korean details everywhere. Only downsides are the often rude service and high prices but the food quality makes up for anything!

Not vegetarian friendly. Not a review but Google unfortunately doesn’t allow me to reply to other reviews suggesting the food is vegetarian friendly so wanted to leave a note in some way. A few other reviews say mostly vegetarian, but they’re not from people who are vegetarian: the dishes are mostly vegetables but with fish sauce used in many dishes. Just leaving this review to save other vegetarians a trip. I’m guessing it could work for pescatarians but am not sire.

I was really excited to try this place after seeing it all over social media and YouTube. Overall, I’d give it a 3/5. The service and atmosphere were great, but when it came down to the main reason we came—to enjoy the food—it fell short considering the price.
We ordered the 보리밥정식 set at $34.99 per person, which came with a variety of side dishes and porridge. I knew it would be centered around side dishes, but nothing really stood out or left a lasting impression.
For two people, the total came to about $77 before tip, and roughly $93 after. For that price, it feels like a bit of a splurge for what you get—I think you’d get a more satisfying meal (and value) at a Korean BBQ spot for around the same cost.
