The spicy chicken feet were really flavorful and paired perfectly with the rice balls, making for a great combination. The bean sprout soup served on the side was light and refreshing, helping to balance out the spiciness of the chicken feet. Also tried the mentaiko omelet, which was soft, savory, and absolutely delicious. Overall, the food here was amazing, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great late-night eats!

It’s been some time since I went here (so I feel comfortable to finally put up a review) but as a first time experience going to this place, I definitely will never go back. They are very overpriced compared to the other places around ktown and if you get drunk they’re take advantage of that and bring stuff to your table that you didn’t order or want to order (making it seem like it’s on the house or something cause the servers were being ridiculously friendly to me and my buddy) but no they’ll add it to your tab and you’ll get charged for everything. If you go, make sure you ask for an itemized receipt. Because this place is filled with crooks.Like I said there are a ton of better options around. I don’t recommend this place.
The food was good i have no complain to this, the problem here is if you are not korean the staff does NOT care about you. Went there with a friend and we ordered 2 dishes and soju. To bring us the soju and water it took 20 minutes asked over and over to different staff asking what was going on no one ever gave us an answer.After those 20 minutes a korean couple came in and they were served EVERYTHING they asked for in under 5 minutes. Our food took 1 hour to come out with the excuse they were busy but were serving all the korean people around us bringing their items instantly. Very sad that they even demanded to be tipped when the service was this horrible. Never felt so discriminated on a restaurant like this before. Never coming back.So take a big note if you're not an Asian person they dont give a d*mn about you :)

Used to be my favorite bar. The food here is good but they got rid of my favorite dish so I’m pretty sad about that. Nice, chill spot and can usually get a table here.

I thought I would never have to leave this kind of review. People who work on night shift start checking on IDs when giving alcohol and get trained to learn the difference of people who are already intoxicated and not give them alcohol. Also Just because someone looks young and underage probably is!! I didn’t want to give a tip either but was yelled at instead of me giving an explanation. Next time ask why. Do Not demand a tip and publicly shaming a person into it when the ones who have to be ashamed is your workers at night shift. My first time here and the first thing that happened was not good actually it was the opposite of good, very inappropriate. Not the ones who cooked the food that was very thought into and kept those dishes spotless yes I notice detail. This does not deserve to be family oriented or young adults. Check your own cameras and learn what happened and how you can get fined for what you did. Get some training done when this situation happens. Sometimes the customer can be bad. We all have our days. When you’re on duty you have the responsibility of being the better person. When your off duty that’s your personal life don’t deflect your pressure onto others. Don’t yell at people when they are about to leave. I will never come back here and also you don’t deserve your cooks. They are keeping y’all afloat.

I usually post silly reviews but I’ll take this seriously after experiencing a strange encounter here. Ie they will coerce you into tipping more.Came here with a group of 6. We only wanted drinks. Got them, drank them, just fine. They don’t have prices on the drinks on the men, why not? It’s bottled alcohol not fresh seafood being sold at market price.At the end, we leave only to be hounded down by the waiter for not leaving a big tip and get asked if something was wrong. In all honestly, we had to ask to be served and then to ask for a drink that wasn’t coming after receiving everything else.Service wasn’t phenomenal which doesn’t warrant a large tip. They essentially will coerce you for a bigger tip. That doesn’t happen at other restaurants and is a pretty dirty tactic. Go elsewhere.

My favorite corn cheese in LA! Every time I go here, the service is quick and consistent. I love how they always give us a complementary egg and tea. The seafood pancake was pretty good as well.

one of the waiters try to double tax you, one separate for the drinks and another after the total value. don’t bother coming here.
It's been a while since I visited here, but the atmosphere has changed a lot. The kindness and service of the former employees are gone, and the atmosphere is too noisy and chaotic. The price is not good either, so I don't think there's a reason to go any further.

Just the best and authentic food and service ever!! Sini, our waiter, was so kind, fast and funny. He made our evening to the best since a very long time! I can highly recommend!
I love that they give you free egg! Tables are quick and easy to get and the service is pretty good too. We got the kimchi rice balls and they were amazing!! So simple yet sooo good and the perfect little snack before a night out.The atmosphere is very chill with cute scribbles and drawings all over the wooden walls. We had fun reading the writings written by past drunk people. I love the lighted tree in the middle of the bar :)A super good pregame spot!
