I was very disappointed with the bad service. The food had no taste, and they weren’t even sorry for it. They acted like they didn’t care. The restaurant itself was very hot, and it was hard to eat food in that atmosphere during a hot summer. I would never come back!

We loved it here! Not sure about the bad reviews. This place had it all. From the sides. To the main dishes. To service, everyone was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend coming here!

When the food is unclean, my stomach hurts as soon as I go home after eating it, plus vomiting.

I have come here several times and I can attest that their food is exceptional. I have ordered the vegetable soon tofu, their boiled dumplings, and the seafood kalguksu. Each dish is made with love and care and I always feel warm after eating here. Their service is efficient and even if they are busy, they manage to be quick on the service. Their banchan selection is great as well, sometimes something new everytime I come. I have also gotten takeout from this place and I really love how they give me anchovies as a banchan selection as I love the little fishies. It's too bad their parking can become crowded if you do not come close to opening.

I’ve been a regular here with my mom for a couple of years now, and it’s amazing every time we go. The soondubu/tofu stew is amazing and I love their banchan/side dishes. Love it here :)

Came here for a Friday lunch. Parking was easy to find. It normally is hard to find parking here. We didnt pay because we were there less than an hour and 1st 90 minutes is free. I had the Seolleongtang and my mom had the yukgaejang. Both soups were delicious and the scorched rice after finishing the white rice was a nice treat. Put some of the broth from my soup and it gave a delightful crunchy soup. Bonchons were very good as well

Went here with my partner spontaneously and it was AMAZING. We got beef sundubu, galbi, and kimchi jiggae. The galbi was so so delicious. We had a great experience. We will definitely be regulars here from now on.

You need to tell customers, if they stay longer than 90 minutes, to pay for parking, otherwise, you should pay their parking.

not korean but i have a picky vietnamese mother in law! she’s the one who wanted to give this place a five star which is ultra rare given the years that i’ve known her.

we ordered the mul naengmyeon (cold noodles #69), haemul kalguksu (seafood combo noodles #68), ddukbokki (rice cakes #3), and the gaejang (spicy raw marinated crab #46).

the ddukbokki was alright, not too sweet which is a common problem i have with other places. the marinade for the gaejang was delicious. now the dishes that really blew us away for the five stars is the haemul kalguksu and the mul naengmyeong!

the broth is rich in flavor in their own respective ways. the kalguksu broth is warming and rich with flavor, there was a slight sweetness from the seafood in the broth. while the naengmyeon has a refreshing aspect to the broth, with a natural sweetness from the pears added masterfully to the dish.

overall highly recommend! i wish i added photos before i started to pigged out and it was gone before i remembered to take a photo 😅
