I came here on a packed Sat night. The place was dim and spacious. I loved the setup; ordering on the electronic pad reminded me of Korea!
I tried the chicken gizzards with soju. The gizzards were so good! I loved how they were prepared. The service was good, too.

Amazing Korean food!!

I had an amazing time! The place is cute and clean. Loved the lights and ambiance. Not a quiet place but you are still able to talk.

We had a great variety of food for a good price, the Tteokbokki was perfectly spicy and you can see my brothers reaction in the video for confirmation. The Bulgogi Cream Risotto was PERFECT. We also had the fried dumplings which were good for me as not fried food lover. The Pork Jowl with Shishito Peppers was amazing, the pork has a really good consistency. Also had a plain lemonade which has refill

Service: We loved the service; they provided us with great attention and clear explanations about the dishes. When we ordered the beer, they asked us about our preferred intensity, and their recommended choice was fantastic. Very friendly staff.

Really fun atmosphere and friendly service. We got the honey wings, which were amazing! However, the real letdown was the udon - the broth was extremely watery and flavorless.

came pretty late on a Friday night. We showed up five minutes before last order, but they kindly accommodated us regardless! Bianca was our waiter and she did an excellent job at making us feel comfortable and taken care of. Every single time she came to our table there was lots of laughs shared amongst everybody! Would definitely come back. Thank you Bianca!!

No one was at the front to serve us they were all chatting in the back, like some teenage high schooler. Menus had some items with no description, service was slow and long, they didn’t bring the food together everything was separated. Other tables after us got their food, seats had the aesthetic of a trashcan Food wasn’t season and bland and over price for small portions. They think just because there fancy lights, scenery are nicely average and K-pop music was bumping everything gonna be perfect but it was very Americanize in a low budget way.

this place was a real letdown. We were excited to try this Korean bar, but everything from the food to the atmosphere was disappointing.
First off, the food was honestly terrible. We ordered the fried chicken, expecting something crispy and flavorful, but it came out soggy and drenched in oil. It tasted like it had been sitting in a fryer for hours. We couldn’t even finish it.
To make matters worse, there were flies buzzing around the table the whole time, which made the entire dining experience uncomfortable and unhygienic. It really killed our appetite.
There are way better Korean spots in town that actually care about food quality and cleanliness.

Great spot for Korean comfort food in Pasadena! We ordered japchae, tteokbokki, galbi, kimchi fried rice, honey garlic chicken, and spicy chicken, everything was flavorful, well-seasoned, and generous in portions.

Service was fantastic, our server was on point and kept the Diet Cokes coming without us asking. The space is big, has a projector and multiple TVs for watching sports, and parking is super convenient right next door (paid lot).

Definitely a new go-to for casual eats and hanging out with friends.
