After visiting Joshua Tree National Park, I looked for a place to have dinner on my way back to LA. I didn't expect there to be a Korean restaurant nearby, but I searched for a Korean restaurant nearby, so I came to the restaurant with some hesitation.The food is oh so delicious. I was very disappointed with the Korean restaurant in LA Hanta (too salty and insincere), but this place is delicious even though it's not sweet and salty. It's hard to make food taste good without it being sweet or salty. Would you say that you felt relieved after a week of travelling? It's a traditional Korean food that tastes like home cooking without much flavor. The owner greeted me and gave me a bag of Crayon Shin-chan and Sora snacks for my child. The restaurant has a snack bar-like atmosphere but is clean. They also sell chicken and bungeoppang.I had squid rice bowl, bibimbap, and kimchi fried rice. All three were plentiful and delicious. I also packed tteokbokki and ate it at the hotel, and it was delicious even though it was cold.I didn't have any intention of reviewing it, so I took a picture while I was eating.This is my first time leaving a review. I hope that the owner's business goes well and that it becomes a famous Korean restaurant in Yucca Valley. I live overseas and not in Korea, so it's hard to get this much flavor at a Korean restaurant overseas, but the owner's sincerity is evident in the food. I really recommend it.

We’re from Las Vegas and just visiting yucca valley for easter, and was craving for some korean fried chicken!! THIS PLACE IS SOOOO GOOD! Their fried chicken is light and flavorful! You can tell they prepare it clean because it doesnt have leftover feather thing from chicken!! You guys should try it!! And they are all so welcoming there. The staffs are nice and friendly!! I love this place, i even tried their kimchi in the jar!!!! It’s like a taste of korea!! Thank you for making that kimchi soooo good!!

Friendly owner and staff.The food is very home-cooked and prepared with great care :)Bibimbap has vegetarian options and a wide variety of dishes, from hot meals to drinks and desserts.It's not localized Korean food, but authentic Korean food, so if you're interested in Korean food, you should definitely visit!

No idea how this gets the "authentic" stamp... must not be from actual Koreans.I had the Tai tea a few months back and it was like drinking milk. I went with my Korean boss to try the Taro tea and it was like drinking straight from the French vanilla cofeemate jug. The prices on the wall don't reflect what they charge you either.Not impressed. No idea how they have 4 stars.

SO GOOD. A must try—and be warned, you will become a regular. The bulgogi is so good, along with everything else I’ve tried on the menu. Addictive, delicious food.

got two VERY expensive bobas, the worst tasting as well.thai tea boba ($5): 0/5 star; taste chalky, very artificial. color looks bright orange, not the authentic dark orange-tea color you get.taro smoothie ($10!!): 0/5; taste chalky, not a smoothie-like at all.however, owners are kind, the restaurant is clean, the japanese toilets are a bonus.

Very happy to have found this place! The Japchae is pretty legit, tofu soup is not bad. Pleasantly surprised to find a Japanese-style toilet with heated seat in the desert. I would highly recommend this place to those who miss Asian food.
