Tucked away inside the grocery store, this restaurant Is a great spot for a quick bite or takeout. I've tried their tuna kimbap and tteokbokki. The kimbap was stuffed with creamy mayo tuna and was really good. I think it's their most popular kimbap. The tteokbokki rice cakes were chewy and soft and for the price, they give you a decent amount. The sauce was mildly spicy and sweet.

The beef in soy bean paste slaps. Hidden gem inside a grocery store.

No frill, no atmosphere. But good price, good portion, and great flavors, and the food is presented nicely. The kimbaps are a to-go staple for me. Cash only.

Vegetarian options: Gobo (burdock root) or sesame leaf kimbaps. Bimbimbap.

Parking: Supermarket parking lot. Restaurant is inside the supermarket.

Wool Um Ma is tasty and cheap. I come here for the bulgogi plate. You get a lot of food for a great price. They have spicy squid and other Korean favorites. It’s inside the HK Market. You can use the supermarket parking lot.

The owner seems friendly. I do like their Kimbap but the other foods seem a bit pricey for its taste and amount, when compared to standalone restaurants.

Very nice place to go eat.

The food is pretty good and the portions are really big for the price. They’re not big on service with a smile, but if you will sell me gimbap for $6 you can scowl at me all day long. There is a $10 card minimum and they are located inside the HK market next to the meat counter.

I eat in this spot a lot since I work in the area. I love how the customer service is always fantastic and they keep the spot well organized constantly. Prices are fair and they serve big portions.

For right now this is a solid 2.5 rounded to 3 stars for the friendliness of the owners.Just so you know... This is located inside the HK Supermarket.I can't really say if the other dishes are good or not. I can only judge on the tteokbokki that I ordered. All I have to say is that it was a huge disappointment. It ended up being more soupy which I would've been ok with as the broth was very flavorful and had a decent amount of heat. But the rice cakes...tteok... Was mushy. Very very mushy. #epicfail When I order tteokbokki, I expect the rice cake to be nice and chewy and these were so mushy that you could've smeared the rice cakes. Not good eats at all. I will never order this item again from here.BUT on the good side... The other dishes that I saw other customers eating looked really yummy! So I'll definitely be back to try these other dishes.And the kicker to this entire experience... The owners were so nice! Very friendly and very engaging. Says alot about a business when the owner is that nice. Loved it! :)
