Really charming space. Everything tasted very homey and best thing was the fried tofu that had a delicate thin crispy batter. I found that a lot of dishes kind of taste samey and it was kind of pricey.

The food was like a snack more than a meal. It wasn’t tasty. We only ate because we were hungry. Wouldn’t recommend eating here. Excellent staff though.

Overpriced pickles and tofu, for the most part. Anchovy broth was all right. Mackerel "sashimi" was sub par. Unsatisfying overall. The bus your own table reminders were laughable.

We just got delivery and everything is really delicious and beautiful. My spouse who despises kabocha thinks the banchan kabocha, lightly yuzu-citrus flavored, is the best he’s ever had. Bummer we live in Los Angeles or we would be back frequently.

I came with my wife and an old friend. I ordered the fried dooboo set, my wife got the same but vegan, and my friend ordered the pan fried fish.Everything was flavorful, fresh, and balanced. The meal came out looking exactly as good as it does in the pictures, and tasting even better.This is a great casual date night spot - good food, reasonable price, and a nice atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian and vegan options on a small menu.
I had the fried dooboo set and thoroughly enjoyed it. The tofu was nicely dense while maintaining a silky texture that went really well with the fried outer shell. Sauce added a nice saltiness and ginger flavor to the tofu. Kimchi was on point, and the tofu & watercress(?) salad with sesame was delicious. I liked that the miso soup was nicely fishy and had solid pieces of tofu in it. All of the ingredients tasted super fresh. Overall really enjoyed every bite of this and will be back again.

Pricey, but delicious. Excellent ingredients (was told they're local), colorful presentation. Pleasant service. The interior is very pleasant, good background music, nice seating, lots of light from the windows. If you are craving Korean and want an incredible meal of light food, this is the place.Recommended without reservations.

Really enjoyed this unique spot offering authentic Korean dishes laid out in a traditional way. You can also sit at the bar and watch them cook, which I found fun and interesting. Seems like they put a lot of care into making food.
Stopped by for snack and got the vegan banchan sampler, which included all of their daily banchan that was vegan, some steamed quinoa rice, a small salad and fried fresh tofu. Everything was flavorful and good.

The food here reminds me of the meals I had during my temple stays in Japan. So fresh and nourishing. It's not the of type food with sugar and msg that gets you addicted but the kind of place you think about when you want to be hugged by nutrition. The flavors are clean and healthy, almost like chicken noodle soup for the soul. You'll leave satisfied and feeling good about yourself. On a side note, I like their choice in disposable chopsticks. It's a darker wooden color than typical and it's blister free. It's street parking but there's not a lot of businesses around so it's easy enough to find a place to park, just don't block people's driveways! There's indoor and outdoor seating. It's small but cozy enough. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The main menu is on the door and on the board inside. There's also a specials menu on the board inside. There were lots of take out orders while I was there. I feel like this place isn't for everyone but for the people that do vibe with it, you'll love it.

Some of the best ban chan and tofu you will ever have. If I lived closer, I would definitely be on their weekly subscription service. Would love to see their products in local grocery stores.Vegetarian options: Many dishes could be made vegan

Really charming and incredibly clean spot for lunch or dinner. I usually take their recommendation on what I should have each time. I typically stay away from fried stuff, but the fried tofu here is so light and beautiful.
