Good place to have korean foods.
Foods were ok specially side dishes and clean. Service was good too, very kind.
It might not the best dine in place but feel comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you Seoul Mama.

Generous portions, great side dishes, highly recommend grilled pork belly dish. Service and taste is above average.

Absolutely delicious squid Tteokbokki, some of the best I've had in the bay! Chicken bulgogi was tender and juicy too!

Came here for the first time, and got the LA galbi, seafood pancake, and spicy soy marinated crab. The staff were really friendly, and the food was delicious. Everything was tasty and well balanced. Only thing was the pancake could have been cooked longer/crispier. I will come back again when craving Korean food!!

I do not do reviews in general, but my family's fury has prompted me to write this review. Service is good. The two lady servers were nice. Atmosphere is just another typical restaurant with less people. BUT the food is mediocre bad 3/10. I don't think the owner is Korean.
We got jjajangmyun, jjambbong, sweet and sour pork, seafood pancake, la short rib, short rib soup, and short rib bibimbap. I will go over each food with detail.
Jjajangmyun - sauce is not that bad, but the noodle is curly(not straight like original jjajang noodles) and sticky as hell.
Jjambbong - tastes like just gochujang soup. If you did not know what jjambong tastes like, taste would not be bad.
La kalbi - meat texture overcooked. There is literally no taste. I used the soy sauce from seafood pancake to eat it with my rice.
Seafood pancake - undercooked. Way too undercooked
Short rib soup - the broth is not aged. Probably just made on the spot. No deep soup flavor.
Sweet and sour pork (탕수육) - why is there so much lemon in the sauce. 탕수육이 아니야 이건.
Short rib bibimbap - salty. Salt bae retired to live in this dish
The funny thing is we did finish it all LOL. Like I said, it's mediocre bad. Not inedible, but would we come back? Definitely not.
On a side note, their hand soap smells wonderful.

Me and a friend both ordered the jajang myeon and it was soo bland we had to ask them for salt. We both put a LOT of salt for it to taste somewhat okay. I don’t know if it’s a one time thing or what but seemed like it was Chinese making Korean food. I’ve eaten a ton of jajang myeon in my life to know what it should taste like. Probably won’t be back.

Service was really nice and attentive. The waitress was friendly and offered refills on bon chon right away. We ordered seafood pancake, jjajangmyeon, cheese corn, galbi, and bulgogi. Came out fast and was delicious. The meats were still hot/warm. The jjajangmyeon and seafood pancake were my families favorites. Overall great experience
