When we went to this restaurant, we went straight for all the Korean soju. The waiter was very casual and straightforward. He didn’t pay much attention to details. The meals were generally Korean 🇰🇷 cuisine, but the most The main thing is the soju 🍶. Soju is divided into many types. There are soju that we usually see, and there are also soju with different flavors. Especially the homemade soju has a unique taste! Before Yakult Soju, you wouldn’t actually see Yakult-flavored Soju in supermarkets. Later, after it gradually appeared, the taste was actually very good, so we also tried it in the store today. Although I thought it tasted pretty good, in fact It's a little too sweet, but even people who don't drink it should be able to drink it, because Yakult has basically diluted the taste of soju, and most of the sweet taste of Yakult is left in your mouth! Especially like the cheese fried rice cake I thought this was just an ordinary fried rice cake, but I didn't expect it to be very delicious. The rice cake itself is neither too soft nor too hard, very elastic, and the seasoning is very good, with just the right amount of spiciness🌶️ A little bit sweet, when serving, use a fire gun to burn all the cheese🧀 on the surface until it melts, so that every bite of rice cake can have a little cheese on the surface. It is actually very delicious! This is the first time I have eaten fried rice cake and I can taste it. It has a little bit of sweetness and it goes so well with it. I recommend that anyone who goes drinking can try it!

Never have I seen worse service until I visited here. Two waitress just hanging around talking, eating and going on their phone at their own table. Not once did they come to our table to check on us. One of the waitress (shorter one) brought a soup dish out and accidentally spilled on the table in which she did say sorry but it would of been nice to offer to clean it up with a towel or even provide napkins. She brings out the army stew next and puts it in the stove and says “do you want to turn it on yourself or…”, we decided to just turn it on ourselves as it’s obvious they do not care about their job. We ask for the bill and the other girl (taller with face mask) would just turn her body away from us right away as she’s dropping and collecting the bill. They are also wearing gloves as they clean up tables and serve the dish. We have no idea if it’s the same gloves used for cleaning. You would think gloves are only needed for cleaning. I have a feeling they don’t have a manager or supervisor on shift because how can they allow people to work like this.

I used to be a big fan of this place and would come back from time to time even after moving to the Bay Area. But this time, the experience was a letdown. The short rib wasn't very flavorful, and the dumplings were a bit undercooked. I don't think I'll be coming back again.

Ordered 2 soondubus, but the first one came out like 10 minutes before the second. Flavor was pretty bland and lacked umami. Prices are quite reasonable though! This place definitely seems more suited for drinking.

I was craving some Korean food late in the evening and found a place open until 1:30am, so I dragged my friend to try it out with me. When we arrived, the waitress barely acknowledged us, leaving us to stand awkwardly at the door until she finally waved us to a table at the back. The restaurant wasn’t crowded, so we were surprised by the waitress's short and upset demeanor. It took a few minutes for her to bring us menus and water. After we ordered, we decided to draw on the blackboards covering the walls around our seat.
We ordered dduboki, sweet chili drumsticks, pork katsu, and a regular lychee soju cocktail. When everything arrived, we were pleased with the large portions. However, we noticed we received a large cocktail instead of a regular one. Despite trying to get the waitress's attention multiple times, we were ignored, so we ended up keeping the large drink.
Thoughts on the food: - **Dduboki:** The classic dduboki is hard to mess up. Despite the $15 price point suggesting something special, it tasted good, though not exceptional for SoCal. 7.5/10 - **Sweet chili drumsticks:** One of my favorite dishes at Korean restaurants is their fried chicken. These were fantastic with perfectly crispy skin and a sweet yet spicy sauce. 9.2/10 - **Pork Katsu:** This dish leaned towards the drier side. The flavor was good, but the pork was too thin compared to the crust. 5/10 - **Lychee soju cocktail:** A tasty cocktail that made the night more fun. The large size was meant for sharing, but I enjoyed it alone. 8/10

The food is very perfect, delicious and very cheap. I recommend that you go eat there, it is a recommended place.
The food was okay, not hot. The service was horrible. Last call for the kitchen was almost two hours before closing. The server won't be checking on you or serving you in any way. They won't be asking if you need more beer or anything else.

The food was decent but the female server was horrible. We came in two hours before closing and was told it was already last call for the kitchen. She didn't refill any drinks or asked if we needed anything the entire time we were there. At the end we were rushed and served the bill coldly. Then because she didn't see the tip I left on the receipt she said to her coworker that we didn't tip. Never coming here again. There are better places out there with better food and service.

I don’t know any of the food items names other than the corn cheese but the images will speak for themselves. The food is good and SPICY. What rhymes with spicy, a lil pricey.
