The absolute best Korean in town . I’ve been going here with my family for 10+ years and always love how welcome we feel. The bulgogi is incredible and the best ramen!

This place is a hidden gem! I had the tofu soup. Let me tell you it was the best soup I’ve eaten at a restaurant. The presentation was nicely done too!

I recently ate at this restaurant, it was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to others. The moment you walk the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with soft lighting and the walls even have autographs from all the famous people that have eaten at the restaurant. The menu offered a wide variety of traditional Korean dishes as well as many different types of Korean drinks. I ordered the beef bulgogi, which was perfect. The meat was medium rare (the only right way to cook meat) cooked to perfection, marinated in a sweet sauce, and served with a side of delicious sticky rice. I also ordered a side of edamame, pork dumplings, and shrimp tempura which where all some of the best Korean food I've had in a long time. One of my favorite parts of the dining experience was the service. The staff was attentive and friendly, offering helpful recommendations and checking in regularly to ensure everything was to my liking, I even had nice conversation with the owner at the end. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable priced for the quality and authenticity of the food.
Overall, this restaurant provides a well-rounded experience that will satisfy anybody either trying Korean cuisine for the first time or people that love Korean food. I would recommend this restaurant for the food as well as the atmosphere, overall a five star experience.

In September 2024, we visited a cozy Korean restaurant in Sarasota, Florida. The staff was very friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered a seafood pancake, which was crispy and fragrant, with a delightful zucchini texture. Among the side dishes, my favorite was the crunchy chayote, while E particularly enjoyed the potatoes. E's cold noodles came with a serving of bulgogi. The cold noodles had a pleasantly chewy texture with a sweet and spicy flavor that was very satisfying. I ordered the soft tofu stew, which was labeled as mildly spicy but turned out to be quite hot, and it tasted excellent. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving Asian cuisine.

This is genuinely my favorite place for Korean bbq when I visit my family in Sarasota, I drive the full hour round trip up to either dine in or take out Yup (one of the owners) amazing creations. I used to work up the street and we went there almost every other day for years the food was always incredible and constantly flavorful and consistent. I love the Pork Bulgolgi and Yuns Ramen which is also had with pork bulgolgi in it, the flavor of the sauce is just absolutely incredible and is the standard to which I measure Korean bbq. Thanks so much to everyone there the staff is awesome kind and efficient! Can’t wait to order again nick form the y
