Great spot for trying new food since the menu has pictures. We took our waiter's recommendation for fried dumplings and bibimbap in a hot stone bowl. The dumplings, bibimbap and spicy pork bulgogi were flavorful and filling and we loved the sides that came with the meal!

The food was delicious. The owner is kind. The dishes were a little dirty because they weren't washed perfectly, but overall it was a good Korean restaurant. I highly recommend the budae stew and tuna kimbap on the menu.

I recently dined at this amazing Korean restaurant, and I can confidently say it was the best Korean food I’ve ever had! Every dish was bursting with flavor, and the variety on the table was simply delightful.
Starting with the assortment of banchan (side dishes), everything was fresh and delicious. The kimchi had just the right amount of spice, the pickled cucumbers were perfectly tangy, and the seasoned vegetables added a refreshing crunch to the meal. The spring rolls were crispy and served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce, making them a great appetizer.
The main dishes were the stars of the meal. The sizzling plate of chicken (bulgogi) was incredibly flavorful, with tender pieces of chicken coated in a rich, spicy sauce, garnished with sesame seeds for that perfect finish. The dish came out hot and steaming, making every bite an explosion of taste.
The brisket spicy soup was another highlight—rich, hearty, and packed with vegetables and protein, all swimming in a vibrant, fiery broth. It was the perfect dish to warm up with, especially if you’re a fan of bold, spicy flavors.
The Korean fried chicken was absolutely incredible—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and smothered in a sweet and spicy sauce that was finger-licking good. This dish alone was enough to share with others, making it a great option if you’re dining with friends or family.
One of the best parts of the experience was that they offer halal options, which is a huge plus. The portions were generous, and the food was definitely enough to share.
Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience, with every dish hitting the mark in flavor and presentation. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and incredibly tasty Korean food. I can’t wait to return!

I’ve been missing authentic Korean food. I always go to Kim’s Market on Hillsborough and I asked the owner for a recommendation and she told me she had a restaurant. I’m so glad I asked. The FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. We got the kimbap, bibimap, spicy seafood pot. Everything was amazing

I have been to this store many times, even though it is far from my home. Personally recommend Jokbal (stir fried).
