Delicious! Went on a lunch date and got the chicken bolgogi (spicy) and it was so good …a nice sweet and spicy combo, same with the beef bolgogi! I recommend the pan fried dumplings.10/10

Came here for a late lunch and had a great experience. The service was top-notch and the food was both fresh and authentic. If you’re looking for Korean food around the area, they’ve got a bit of everything here so it’s a great option.

Actually tasted good, but the portions WERE NOT dinner size... for $30+, about 1/2 to 2/3 of the kalbi I have gotten in other Korean restaurants, and probably 1/3 portions of bonchon...

One of our favorite places for Korean when we are in New Haven, but the owners seem to be slowing down a bit.

The food is decent quality, but not the best we've had. It likely among the best in New Haven, though (limited choices) and IMHO better than going to a chain.We had the short rib kalbi, spicy pork bulgogi, rice cake appetizer and seafood pancake.As other diners mentioned, the portions are a bit small for the price. This is the major downside. They could increase the portions by 25% and this would not be a factor.Yes, it is weird that they keep the front door locked, but with just the husband and wife on staff and the wife in the kitchen 95% of the time, it is an understandable precaution.You are not rushed and can linger if you like.
Parking: This was a highlight. Free, off-street parking in New Haven. Made it easy to get in and out.

Authentic Korean food that are true to the original form, no fancy variations to distract from he basic quality of the food. True family operation, very friendly and good service.

I’ve been here twice, just recently with some family and friends after a day of shopping at IKEA. The food was very delicious and felt authentically Korean to me. I tried the dumpling soup this time it was a comfort food for sure. The only strange part about coming here was actually entering the restaurant. The front door is locked tight and you need to ring a doorbell to come in. I went to let our friends in but the owner insisted he do it himself. It didn’t bother me much but it was weird. Other than that I had a great time here and would recommend you come if ever in New Haven.

I have been to many Korean restaurants and this is THE worst. It is over priced and has very low quality. I could hardly find any beef in the bibimbap. Instead of using real beef, it looked like bits of ground beef to me. I have never had this kind of beef bibimbap before. At first I thought they gave me the veggie one instead. Unbelievable low quality! The side dishes were also bad. I was very upset after eating there. No beef in beef bibimbap, I consider this is cheating. I don’t recommend it at all! Dishonest business!

Old school family run restaurant with solid food with a home cooked feel. Elegant interior with art. You do have to be buzzed inside but it’s not nearly as big a deal as some reviews made out. Would go again.
Vegetarian options: Stone pot veggie and tofu option.
