This place is one of the most happiest accidents of my life :> My father needed to go to the restroom and we happened to stumble upon this place. Being that we were quite hungry and haven't had dinner yet, we decided to have a quick meal here. The food was amazing and reminded me of the time I was in Korea a few months ago, especially the interior. Pricing is honestly superb. Only around 14 dollars (not including taxes and tips) for their signature Mr.Cookbop Stew/Soup which I split between me and father since although being quite hungry, the portion sizes were suuuper generous. Oh, did I mention unlimited side dishes and rice? Was quite surprised they do this since this is the US, but indeed just like Korea they give you unlimited side dishes and refills for your rice (which is also quite rare even in Korea!) Personally for me, the fishcake sidedish were my favorite. Service is also super nice and helpful, overall an amaazing experience. Only thing I was missing was spice, since the food had very little spice in terms of heat, but to be completely fair I do have quite a bit of a spice tolerance and they'd have to cater to locals here as well.

Super good service, great portion sizes, scallion pancake delightful, spicy stir fried squid great mix of spicy but not too spicy, tangs were well received but you have to like taking your meat off the bone, but word was broth alone is worth the trip. Definitely try this for a casual and tasty dinner.
I just liked these folks.

The pork bone soup, blood sausage soup, and green onion pancake are all delicious. The owner and staff are very kind, and the restaurant is extremely clean. It’s a place I definitely want to visit again.

Great spot! We had a beef dish. Delicious. Friendly staff. Super accommodating with our kid who wanted broth and rice. Chill atmosphere. We looked around at other tables, and the other dishes looked amazing. We’ll return to try those!

Ordered Gamjatang (Delicious), the original Mr. Kukbop (bland and odd tasting), the Bulgolgi dish (Excellent) and a kimchi pancake(Good). Unfortunately our initial server was quite rude, providing us with attitude when we were asking questions about the menu and then ignored us for most of the rest of our time there. We were assisted by another server who brought out loads of bonchon and mogicha. I'd come back again for the gamjatang and bulgolgi, hopefully the server was just experiencing an off night.

This is a fantastic new restaurant, and was a really great casual place to eat. I’ve read that the owner is the main guy that takes care of you, and it seems that way, because he is happy to explain things and make sure you have a good meal. The pot meal comes with the four sides to eat as an appetizer first, then you can eat those appetizers with the rice that comes with the pot meal, essentially however you want. I ordered the #1 and I’m pretty lame with my spice tolerance, and it was great.
The food was genuinely delicious, and was honestly really affordable, especially for what you get.
Also the owner gives more rice or more of the appetizers as you want them, so it was genuinely satisfying, and you get more of what you need to enjoy the meal.
Honestly, this is a gem, and I’m only guessing here, but I imagine a family restaurant in Korea might be exactly like this. It felt really natural and genuine.
The discrimination allegations on the review is interesting. I was by myself and wanted a quick bite, and being told there are no tables when there are only 4 groups in the restaurant. I guess they do not accept solo diner.

If you’ve got a hankering for genuine Korean “soup rice,” you’ve found it. Rarely do I give praise for Korean food outside of NYC/NJ, LA, or NOVA, but this place is legit - kimchi is perfect along with the two dishes we tried (Soondae Guk and Samgyetang).

Soooo freaking good, and seemingly better than all other Korean spots in the area. Great food, excellent price, some of the best Korean I’ve had. I almost hesitate to give it a review because I’m afraid this “under the radar” spot might blow up, but I couldn’t not!!

I've been here twice now and have really enjoyed my meal both times. I brought my parents who were visiting from out of town and they said it was their favorite meal of their trip. The restaurant space is very clean and the atmosphere is nice with Korean ballads playing. The staff is always very friendly and attentive to me. This is now my go-to when I want something nice and warm!
