We planned on going somewhere else for getting Korean Food for dinner but the other please. We had in mind clothes really early so we ended up here.Real good find!Husband and I ordered a lot of food and it was good enough for 2 meals! Really big portion size!Japche -Amazing! The glass was so light and had a good amount of vegetables in there and the flavor was amazing as well. Massive portion size too. Did not seem oily at all and just a good item.Bulgogi -Such a flavorful and tender and perfect beef! They really marinated the meat well. Did not seem like a fatty cut of meat at all. Loved it.Game with rice on the side and a lot of other Korean side dishes which were delicious.The mixed greens, cauliflower and miso soup were mine and husband's favorite!Hot Stone Bibimbap - last minute decision to order this and it was a very good decision. Big bowl of food with amount of vegetables on top and rice on the bottom. Then you mix it all in and eat; The flavors went together so so so so well.The crispy rice on the bottom that stuck to the hot store... BEAUTIFUL ? ?Service was also pretty quick and we appreciated that. Food was all hot and steamy but not so hot that it burnt your tongue. Just perfect.

This is a Korean restaurant serving traditional Korean food, BBQ and Japanese food. This place serve the variety of food, but the one I tried was sushi bento whose price is almost $20 dollars for lunch. You will expect that paying that money should bring more quality and quantity of sushi. But in the bento you can choose only either tuna or salmon, and the amount of sushi was incredibly small. I would not recommend sushi bento at all as you can see the picture of the meal. Also they tried to compensate the small amount of fish and one type of fish with big salad and an extra side dish which was served originally. Also there was not ginger on the plate. It is my usual side that I eat with sushi and usually served at every sushi restaurant.

Not sure how this place has over 4 star reviews or grade A. It is crusty and there's food crumbs stuck between seat cushions. All the sides tasted bitter for some reason. It's just not good and I wish I left without eating there. Glad I did not choose the all you can eat option.

Meats were not flavorful and my fries were not properly cooked. I was very disappointed and I’m wondering where all the positive reviews are from.

We came on a Friday night and our party of 2 got seated right away. We had the Bulgogi and Kimchi Soup for $24 with rice and banchan. Very good deal if you asked me! I love their rice, so fluffy and moist. Their spicy octopus hot stone rice was okay, I appreciated all the flavors and noticed it did not have an overly sweet taste like a lot of Korean restaurant here make it. The customer service was sweet and friendly.

Happy to find a family-owned Korean restaurant that serves all the traditional food in addition to the ever-popular BBQ! We ordered mandu (dumplings), mul naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles), and dduk guk (rice cake soup). Food was good and portions were decent. It was a little hard getting a server's attention because we were seated in the room adjacent to the main BBQ space. Overall, though, a good solid spot for authentic Korean food!

Restaurant looks clean. Although Sunday night looks busy with customers at 6pm, we got a table to sit down right away. However, we waited for 15 mins for the server to come over and take our order. This is a family business. Everyone works here is a family member. They were really understaffed during busy hours.We did the all-u-can-eat BBQ for $32. Decent sides and meats. They do give big portions of meat with each order so that we can be left alone for a while.Good to have another choice for AUCE BBQ instead of a major chain restaurant in the area.
