Looking for Korean places in the neighborhood and was delighted to find this gem! They are super accommodating and made several dishes vegan for us. I really appreciated them asking about food allergies as well. Rice cakes, soft tofu soup, and bibimbap were all stellar. Highly recommend!!Vegetarian options: Chefs were very accommodating and happy to modify dishes and make them without fish/meat/eggs

Really solid lunch boxes to get to-go. Also some good fried chicken. Nothing to really complain about esp if you just want something good and solid

Best Korean food in town. It's like momma's home cooking. Authentic & real food, Korean Food. Try their fried chicken!!

Excellent portions and sooo delicious - currently take-out only. I had the spicy beef tripe and intestine stir-fry and the soup version of the same - sooo tasty and there was so much fresh honeycomb tripe and intestine. Also had a huge order of beef bulgogi - very nice. All came w rice and there was even some to go banchan. Well-packed so nothing spilled.I see from another Yelper that the owners are finding it hard to have staff, so they are doing take-out only for that reason. I suggest trying to order directly from the restaurant so that they have a better chance at being profitable; I'm sure all the delivery apps take a huge cut. This is definitely a very good family-run restaurant worthy of our support.

Bring back dine-in please. Used to love coming here for a casual date night, or introducing friends to Korean food... fried chicken to-go is just not the same. Legit came here weekly before Covid, only been back once since it went take-out only.

Best Korean food in the city. Their seafood pancake and pork bulgogi never disappoints. I would order everyday if I could! Take out only.

They are still only doing take out but no matter. Our favorites are #24 pork bone potato soup, Kim her pork with tofu, braised pork knuckle and KFC. All comfort food, so soothing.

They were only serving takeout when we visited. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Only about a 20 minute wait, and the food was awesome. Great flavor and big portions. Very generous with everything, even the sides. I really appreciated the decent portion of veggie sides, and they gave an extra quart of kimchi. My boyfriend had a huge appetite, but could not even finish the chicken. 2 meals for $30, but definitely feeds up to 4.Parking: There were approximately 20 spots along the street, but were all taken by people shopping elsewhere. We had to park in the residential area close by. Not a long walk at all though.

Just finished some delicious food from here. Had a seafood pancake and chicken soup (dak bokkeum tang). The pancake was lovely- since all food orders are to-go now, unfortunately it was not crisp but understandable being in a to-go container. The banchan was excellent and fresh- great kimchi!

Decent spot for Korean food. What they're known for is their fried chicken but I haven't tried that yet. I was really craving tofu soup and saw that they had a kimchi stew so I ordered that! It came out less than 15 mins with banchan and a box of rice. The banchan was great and the fish cake is really good, better than most I've had (and better than H-Mart in my opinion because it's a little spicy!). The kimchi stew was good, lots of kimchi and boiling hot!! Plenty of pork pieces too but the tofu was firm. I think I may have ordered the wrong soup. Next time I'll go for the soft tofu soup and ditch the kimchi. Anyway this was a nice family run restaurant on the corner of Taraval. They have a lunch menu and it seems like a steal for less than $20. There's currently construction being done but hopefully it ends soon. It's all takeout right now only. Waiting patiently for them to open in person so I can dine in!
