Fantastic everything. 1 - Service. Absolutely on point. 2 - Food was amazing 👏 3 - Felt welcome . Not some Angry hipster place that gets mad at you for patronage of their establishment. ( looking at you pretentious burger joints )
Regardless, this has been our best meal since our week in DC started.
The Korean food was decent but when my son wanted something from the bar menu, as well as ordering something from the dining hall menu, they made me sit at the bar while my son ate the item and the rest of the family sat and waited for us in the hall. It was the weirdest experience. We thought that since we had sufficiently ordered from the dinner menu, they would be flexible and allow us to eat it away from the bar.
The portions are huge, and they give plenty of side dishes—actually, it was a bit too much. My kid loved the rice cake and mandu soup. I really enjoyed the yukgaejang—it wasn’t too spicy. The dessert donut was delicious—a must-try!

It was my first time eating at a Korean restaurant, and I have to say that I enjoyed it a lot. The attention was great, and the food was good. I ordered vegetable dumplings and dolsot bibimbap, and they were so good. For dessert, I ordered croiffle and it was delicious.

Service was great but as Koreans the food here was average at best. Everything was very salty and way too sweet but dishes might appeal to those who are new to Korean food. The menu had a great variety and generous portions but overall the taste of everything we ordered was below average except for the soondoobu jigae which my Korean dad said was fantastic.

The server was very helpful and explained the dishes to me. He made sure I did not get something that was too hot for my palate. They also surprised my daughter with dessert because I let them know that she was learning Korean and we were in town to see a K-pop concert. We were surprised and very happy with the special treatment
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this place. Very solid food. The 두루치기 was nice. They use 물엿 with their rice cakes, making them sweet.

Is this place really run by Koreans? Even the names of the dishes are not properly presented. For example, “Duru Jiggae”, there’s no such dish in Korea. Also, jjigae refers to a stew, but the style they serve here is more accurately called duruchigi.

I wanted my Korean girlfriend to take me to some place with good Korean food in DC. She was hesitant about this place, but finally decided to give it a try. We were both extremely happy and the food was amazing. She loved how authentic it was and it was a proper way for me to enjoy Korean food in DC.

Had very severe diarrhea that lasted for 3 days after having their gamjatang. I almost had to go to the bathroom every 2-3 hours during that time. I thought gamjatang was a little off since the soup was too dense and felt thirsty after having that. Then diarrhea x 3 days happened.
