I order the happy platter (48 piece of sushi) last night. Owners are very nice, I even tipped despite it being a take out order.

The sushi is mostly all rice- as someone who eats sushi frequently I have never seen such skimpy sushi. Barely any fish or even avocado- it’s all rice.

Given I spent close to $50, I have to give a 1/5 stars for food. This isn’t the first time i’ve been disappointed with the food, will likely be my final time dining here

Very friendly owners and quick service in a cute spot. However, the food was okay. The rapokki was very sweet with not much rice cakes or fish cakes. Fried chicken was good, as was the gimbap (rice was well seasoned, but cold). Overall, everything tasted store bought instead of homemade. We also kept hearing a microwave ding in the kitchen as the food was being prepared

Food was SO GOOD! My daughter requested ramen for her birthday so we tried this restaurant and they did not disappoint! Ramen was delicious and fresh. We also got the bolgogi and it was amazing. We will definitely order again.

First time eating here. We got take out sushi rolls. Was happily surprised, spicy rolls are SPICY but in a good way! Would definitely recommend. Presentation was excellent.

Do not trust prices listed online. Owner acts like he doesn’t know what’s online. Beware !!!!!

I literally just got my food and I’m rushing to write this review. I’ve never had anything like this in CT… The food is so flavorful, fresh, and authentic. Just wow! Customer service was also 100/10. Perfect spot for a solo or quiet date, and takeout. I highly recommend the sushi, curry rice, and Korean fried chicken combo.

(Respectfully gatekeep this restaurant)

The pictures sell it more than what it taste and actually is served. Friendly prompt service but food wasn't what everyone is hyping it to be. Needs more improvements. For each it's own I guess.

Love this place! So lucky to have good Korean food nearby, we always get the kimbap & BT curry. Delicious and filling, just tried the new soy garlic & sweet and spicy fried chicken too, this is our favorite take out spot in Vernon ??

This place is awesome! Food is really good, quite authentic too--growing up in NY, it is very comparable to any korean restaurant there. It's run by a really nice korean couple, especially the cooking, so you know it's legit. Cute, relaxed atmosphere for dining. Very reasonably priced.

I've been going here for almost 4 years! Both the food and service have always been consistent and amazing! Unless there's unexpected weather conditions, the owners/chefs are always there on time. The kitchen closes at 7:40pm every day. And they make their dishes in a very timely manner, I've never felt like I've waited too long even if they're busy. Furthermore, prices are very reasonable! For a large bubble tea and egg ramen I typically spend $16 or so, but I always tip a bit more as they're a small, local business. Furthermore for takeout they always package really well so nothing ever leaks and the ramen is even throughly separated from the broth!

Seen in the photos is the taro boba large (boba is on the chewier side) and egg ramen (portions are AMAZING the bowl is bigger than my hand and fills me up every time, no appetizer needed)

Dietary restrictions: Very flexible with dishes and have many options available both for halal food, vegetarian, vegan, etc

Parking: Lots of reserved spots for the restaurant (on side and behind building) there are two entrances one in the front street facing and one back from the parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Tables are high enough toddlers can't walk onto corners and there's plenty of decor on the walls to look at.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps no stairs however it is a pull door.
