My friends and I came here a few days ago after work to just chill and talk. We were taken care of by these nice ahjummas, they were sweet and checked on us. My friends sang me happy birthday and they came and gave us bowls of fruits, which surprised me! They were so sweet, I almost cried their food is always great but the ahjumma who gave us the fruits made my night amazing!

Came in on a rainy weekend after a full dinner and dessert primarily looking for a late night drink to spend time with friends. We only ordered a fresh pineapple soju, so this review will only be centered around their drinks! We asked the server which fruit soju cocktail he recommended since we were curious about the watermelon and melon. Unfortunately, it isn't watermelon season and he mentioned that the pineapple was his favorite. We waited about 10 minutes (there weren't that many customers, maybe 3-4 other tables besides us) and the pineapple came out with a sparkler! It was really cool seeing how festive the sparkler made our night I would give the drink itself a 3/5: the soju flavor was strong and it will get you buzzed. Be wary that there is pulp since it's a fresh fruit cocktail - as we kept drinking there consistency became more pulpy. Overall, a chill place to hang and drink with friends. I'd come again to check out their food.

I have been here many times over the years and it hasn't gone too downhill. Yes, the quality has taken a hit and the prices have gone through a steep increase, but it is still reasonable compared to the other soju bars in Santa Clara's Ktown.They have a nice selection of alcohol and offer soju in fresh fruits. I am partial to their coconut soju served in a coconut ? and the pineapple soju?.They have some basic side dishes on hand because who can go without kimchi for some of these dishes? but you have to ask for it. You may also want rice even though it could taste old but you're too drunk to care.I like their seaweed rolls with vermicelli because they fry it like spring rolls which is quite different from other places. I also recommend the spicy chicken with cheese and the seafood pancake. The kimchi fried rice is decent with the perfectly cooked egg but not the best. I don't recommend the army stew.It's hard to rate the service because it's not consistent. I do really appreciate the hours though, open until 2am everyday. It's popular enough that sometimes I have to wait for a table on a late night weekday.There are only a few spots in front of the store. The other spots are usually for the other stores unless they are closed. However, there is parking around the corner and in the back.

It reminds me of a Korean bar and the taste is just as good as eating in Korea.

I used to love this place for tteokboki & fried seaweed rolls but I don't think I'll be going back again anytime soon. My partner and I shared the tteokboki & fried seaweed rolls tonight. While both dishes were delicious, the tteokboki was missing the egg and didn't have any fish cakes. The seaweed rolls were tasty but not the same.
We came with a large group, and the location was very accommodating! We were able to get our orders down quickly, and they served us nicely However, the food is a little hit or miss. The hotpot and kimchi fried rice were pretty decent, but on the pricier side. As for the watermelon soju, it was very bland. The garlic fries were also very bland, and did not taste fresh. I probably wouldn't go to this restaurant again.

We ordered dinner from here through uber eats. The banchan was delicious and included a mushroom salad that I haven't tried anywhere else. The kimchi and fish cake were also great! We had seafood + tofu soup. There were clams, shrimp and octopus in the soup. It was the perfect spice level and more than enough for two people. We also had the fried chicken which arrived with the sauce on the side. The chicken was so crispy + came with fries. The sauce was next level! Great service, we requested extra jalepenos and pickled radish on the side and they came through! We will def order again
