Ordered food from this place for a nearly $100 and was extremely disappointed. I even called to complain.
Garlic fries—a slab of garlic paste put in the box on top of soggy fries
Beef tofu soup— basically a tofu soup and appeared to be a left over. There were only 4 slices of tiny beef
Beef bulgogi—ugh! Lacks banchan. I got steamed meat with steamed rice.
I would not recommend. Go elsewhere

The good part was that they have chicken feet (bone-in) which is kinda rare and it tasted good, and servers were kind.
**However, I feel like the ingredients are not high-quality or they're trying to save some from being stingy with main ingredients, (e.g. sausage in our spicy rice cake (tteobbokki) was low quality; too much rice in spam kimchi roll (kimbap)), which made their food bland. They made mistakes with our order and it was not reflected on the check. We got charged for cheese and a bowl of rice which we did not order nor receive, that could have costed us $5 more if we did not check the receipt before payment.

Chinese look down
This place opens till late and the staff were very friendly. We (Taiwanese) were the only table who were not Koreans. Food was okay, the pineapple soju was really nice!
Food portions are big but taste is average
I highly recommend ordering pineapple soju or watermelon soju. Share it with everyone.
There will also be some fairy sticks on top, which looks very cute when photographed.
- There is a fried pork belly dish which is very delicious.
M6: Pork Belly Garlic- Jalapeño Stir-Fry
It cost $140 for the two of us to eat
We were the only table at the table with non-Korean people.
The other six tables, large and small, are all Koreans.
The clerk was very friendly and even treated us to raw shrimp in soy sauce!

I haven't tried the place, yet, but I am going to. There have been a few occasions where I had picked up something at the store next door. I look over at the restaurant, and there have been at least 40 to 60 people standing outside. ( I'm assuming, waiting for a table, or take-out) They were mostly Asian,( I'll make another fairly safe assumption), most likely Korean. So, I would guess that the food served there is pretty darn good, as well as authentic. I think I'll give it a try next week and see if it is as good as it seems to be. I'll be sure to let you know.
Ordered kimchi fried rice. Like it.

If you’re coming here, it’s not for the food; it’s for the atmosphere and getting together with people. Came here because our friends wanted to, but I wouldn’t ever come here again.
The food is bland and needs seasoning. Kimchi fried rice is pretty bland. Spicy chicken is not spicy and also bland. The kalbi was a very small portion and the bulgogi was ok.
They also charged us 10.95% for tax when Santa Clara tax should be 9.13% and they hide it on the receipt.
The wait staff is prompt and polite; they charged us a 20% service charge.

Racist Waitstaff, Horrible Service, Overpriced Food
-
Visited on a Monday evening with group of three South East Asian friends. Korean customers around us received servers' attention and food quickly (multiple groups were seated after us and left before us). We had to ask three times before receiving a cup (we were one short) because waiters kept 'forgetting'. We were seated for 20 minutes before deciding to ask for banchan. Our waiter snapped saying to wait after asking for banchan and then we waited another 15 minutes before receiving it. This was all despite the restaurant being half empty throughout our experience. To top it all off, they charged a 20% service fee on top of tax and asked for another tip in addition. We will not be returning here and warn our friends of this place.

Highly recommend the Army soup, fried chicken, seafood pancake and cheese corn. Also, the daeji bulgogi.

The food here is amazing, with some dishes tasting better than those at other Korean restaurants. A major advantage is that it stays open until 2 a.m., while many other places close much earlier. However, the portions could be larger for the price, and the wait time increases in the evening. Parking is also limited.
