Wanted jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and got it here. Added a little salt to taste and it was great!!! They also have bulgogi Kimbap (beef roll) which is a plus but the meat was slightly smoky tasting, but still tasted amazing! The restaurant was full of Koreans which is a good sign. I’ll have to come back and try some other dishes.

Our go-to is the jampong (spicy seafood noodle soup). We've tried their chicken wings, and chicken bowl but it was too sweet for us. Wasn't our favorite. The jajangmyun is ok too. We usually order to go so can't say much about the service. The decor is nice and cozy.

Wanted to try this new place and ordered the black bean noodles. It was pretty bad and watery sauce, its just not authentic noodles and maybe some of you guys might like it because there aren’t much choices around here. Its like a family run restaurant and I do want to support small businesses, but at the same time the food has to be up to par. The corn cheese was just gross with a thick layer of cheese and overly sweet with sugar. Just try to improve your recipes and hope you can do better.

I enjoy Korean style chicken because it's fried the best. I live in the area so I thought I'd give this place a try. I ordered the spicy and honey wings with the glazed potatoes. The chicken was fried to perfection but the flavor was lacking. The spicy option had a nice sweet note but there was little to no heat/spicy. The honey just was a miss the glaze from the potatoes was used for a booster. The potatoes weren't really glazed but soaking in a sweet syrup. Overall it's I wouldn't be in a rush to try this restaurant again but I would like to try other flavors and options to see if I made the wrong purchase. Thanks

As usual the service, food, and everything was amazing. They are so nice and great with customers. Even when they’re busy they treat everyone well and don’t let it get to them when they have to quickly turn over tables to sit the next party.

Interesting Korean fried chicken place as they have lots of different flavors. The ones I had were delicious. Also like their noodles with that black sauces made of black beans. Also a good value for the money.
Nope. Never again. We ordered shrimp tempura and shrimp fried rice because I wanted chicken wings but refuse to pay 28.00. Wtf!? This rice is Flavorless! Soggy! And full of the actual frozen pack of mixed veggies. It has a rawish egg on top she didn't even ask me how I wanted it cooked. There is NO AND I MEEEAN NOOOO seasoning in it. And the shrimp are little bay shrimp but the are a weird color. I asked for white pepper and nope. I asked for hot mustard and got French's. It's got good ambiance. But I wouldn't come back. I don't like to call food nasty but this place is not very good. Wanted to go to the sushi place cuz yelp said it was open but it wasn't. We will not be back. Stay home and cook for yourself. And I know they know we don't like it as we literally pushed it across the table and I told the server the food is not good and she told me that they make food for people who do not like salt. Huh? So you serve unseasoned food? I'm not sure that's a thing. They were nice though

LOVE THIS PLACE! This is a go-to chimek (chicken & beer) spot for me and my parents. My parents say the chicken here has been the closest to what they used to eat when they lived in Korea, so the authenticity is fully there. The chicken is super crispy, drenched in Korean spicy sauce, and extremely tender and easy to enjoy. I didn't get any other dishes this time around because we were stuffed, but the seafood noodle soup (jjambbong) and the black bean noodles are also very delicious.The service is always friendly and easygoing, which makes it easy to sit to catch up and drink w friends/ family! I'm already excited to go back :)

Pollo pollo is a great place for comforting Korean food! The restaurant is small but the inside is nicely decorated with warm lighting. Our servers were also very nice and attentive whenever we needed utensils and takeout boxes.My favorite dish was the cheese corn as it was nice and stretchy and it paired well with the spicy rice cakes and tangy kimchi fried rice. The fried chicken was also crispy and juicy. Definitely coming back!

I'll be honest, if my parents didn't tell me about this place, I would have kept overlooking it. But I'm so glad I know about this place now because it is a great find.This place is open from 11:30am - 3pm and 5pm - 10pm (11pm on Fridays and Saturdays). Be mindful of that time gap when they're closed because I made that mistake once which was completely my fault.My family and I came right when they opened up for the second half of the day. The interior is nice and cozy with soft ambient lighting, which I am a huge fan of. There is a variety of seating options, with table and booth seating on the either side of the building and a bar-like seating with high chairs in the middle of the building.We got a variety of dishes because we wanted to try a little bit of everything. Overall, everything tasted great!Teriyaki Chicken Bowl - A nice classic dish with a good ratio of chicken and rice, served with vegetables and pineapple on the side. I love this twist to teriyaki chicken because it balances sweet and savory well, plus the texture of the rice is nice.Spicy Noodle Soup - A hearty soup served with noodles, an assortment of seafood, and an assortment of vegetables. The noodles are cooked al dente, and they seem freshly made based on the texture. It's a very good soup, however my spice tolerance isn't great so I struggled to eat it and had to dilute the leftover soup when I got home. However, if your spice tolerance is good, by all means go for this dish!Shrimp Fried Rice Bowl - This dish was HEAVENLY--my favorite one out of the selection of dishes we ordered. It comes out in a pan, served with an egg and two hash browns on top. The fried rice has a slightly sweet taste that pairs well with the umami of the shrimp. I am absolutely OBSESSED with the crispiness of the hash browns that I could go on about it. A dish I'd definitely recommend getting.Kimchi Fried Rice (not pictured because we got it to go) - A great mix of savory, tangy, and spicy. The rice is cooked just right, and seaweed is sprinkled on top as garnish. It also comes with a side of pickled yellow radish and pickled onions and jalapeños which complements the fried rice well.Not only were the dishes great, but service was great as well. Our server was swift whenever we needed extra utensils, more water, etc. Overall I'm very satisfied with my experience here! Totally coming back for that shrimp fried rice and other menu items.
New menu for everyone ?
