Delicious food with instantaneous service in a casual atmosphere. The spicy kimchi and pork belly was excellent. In a city with so many great food options this is a place worth coming back to.

When my family used to live in fremont, we would drive here now and then and enjoy authentic Korean meals. service was great back then and still the same today. my wife loves going here either ordering takeout out or dining in. Food is always great and the Korean aunties always have good service. Definitely me and my wife’s go to restaurant for eating great Korean food and service.

It's shameful that this place gets one star. It actually deserves minus 15 stars! Horrible service, horrible quality of bulgogi (looked to be about 65 to 70 fat), horrible quality of banchan and worst of all horrible attitude by the entire staff. Unbelievable they charge $33 for combination meal of bulgogi and sundubu. This place has deteriorated so much over the years and this will definitely be the last time I will come here. Normally, I don't bother posting any reviews but this time, I had to. Please don't go to this place. Respectfully submitted.

Been here a few times, we love the tofu and chicken soup, the veggie and green onion pancake, and the Pan-Fried Glass Noodie Wiith Beef & Vegetable.
Very nice staff, attentive. They play k-dramas and entertainment on a big screen TV.

I needed nourishing food that wasn't heavy. I'm so happy to have taken a chance on this place. They had my order ready in about 15 min: beef rib soup with plenty of banchan.

Besides the actual rib, my favorite part was the refreshing cucumber kimchi and potato. It was my first authentic Korean banchan. I loved the side dishes so much that im searching up recipes to make some of them myself.

The meal is enough for two people - I had plenty of left overs. (But get extra rice if you love rice.)

The restaurant isn't fancy, but who cares when the food is delicious like this. Customer service for my to-go order was great too.

This is a pretty good spot for Korean food. Certainly not the best in the area, but definitely not the worst. The food is all fresh, flavourful, and delicious — but I always felt like their meat portions in a lot of dishes are slightly lacking. As with most Korean restaurants, there's a good amount of banchan to accompany your meal with the standard selection of kimchi, seaweed salad, zucchini, etc. The aunties that run the place are really friendly, and service is pretty quick. Overall, definitely worth checking this place out.

We liked the fried chicken, very tasty but a little too salty. We also got the fried rice, it's quite good. This restaurant is more of Korean American food. We wanted beef short ribs. Korean BBQ restaurant would have it and seafood pancake which they don't have it either. This restaurant is more of night club type of restaurant. Food is good. We enjoyed their food, different food.

After those few years, I came here again, not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised after tasting it. The sizzling pork belly is very tasty, and the aroma of onions penetrates into the meat, which is not dry but juicy.
The tofu hot pot is not bad either.
Great service.

Food was good but nothing impressive. Service was rude. I didn’t understand what the lady was trying to ask me so she started yelling and getting annoyed. Wouldn’t come back.
