Excellent

Best Korean food we’ve had and we travel a lot. This service is exceptional and they are very attentive. The food is authentic and made to order. It’s very rare to say you’ve never had a bad experience in any restaurant today but we have literally never had one here and have been going for years.

The food is great but the owner is shady and does business poorly. First time, I paid her in all 20’s and she came back to the table saying I was $40 short even though I double checked the amount before giving it to her. She absolutely refused to accept that and made me pay more. I let that go and continued to go because the food is good. Now last weekend I was severed a plate of beef ribs that literally tasted spoiled. I took one bite and spit it out. I get that plate every single time and the owner knows I do, it’s always been great. When I brought this up to her and asked for another plate, she again, absolutely refused and actually started raising her voice and arguing with me in front of other customers. The older lady is the owner and she’s a con artist. Will not be returning for this overpriced food. At $30 per plate you’d think the service would be better.

This place was great. I was down in Brunswick visiting my mom and decided that I wanted to try some of their Korean restaurants in the town. I decided to go to this one and I was not disappointed. I lived in Korea for a couple of months Back when I was 12 years old and this reminded me of the food that I used to eat over there. I have had Korean food over the years and nothing really ever came close but this did. I got the Yaki Mandu and the Bulgogi and rice. The goalie was very juicy tender and tasted great. The Yaki Mandu Was crispy and tasted amazing. It is a very small restaurant maybe eight tables on the inside. And I do believe it is family owned, so there will be a little weight when it comes to getting your food. Overall, it is worth the wait because the food is good it comes out fresh. The portions of food are great, especially for a single person. The two negatives that I will mention is, the food is expensive, and they no longer sell kimbab.

Very authentic food and experience here. It's a mom and pop place. So your order may take a little time, especially if they are busier. At this visit we were the only dine in order with a take out customer waiting. The side dishes were very good and they also sell jars of kimchi too. We tried the japchae and pork bulgogi both were very good. Definitely worth a visit.

Authentic to the core! Staff are friendly and both the main and the side dishes are great. Reminds me of the food that I had when I was in Seoul!

Oh my goodness. I can’t say enough good things about this place. My family and I love Korean food and were so pleased to come across this restaurant. We ordered several different entrees and every single one was delicious! I ordered the bulgogi. It was so good! The flavor was perfect! The kimchi was so good too! It had a nice little bite without being so hot it takes away from the flavor. The restaurant was simple, but had a nice vibe to it and the adorable lady that waited on us was absolutely perfect and precious. My poor husband at himself into a food coma 😂. It was a great experience and we can’t wait to go back!

I agree with all the other reviewers. Amazing and Authentic Korean food. A surprising find in this small coastal Georgia town.

Speaking to the owner, she explained that they had just reopened after a couple months being closed due to an accident where she was injured. Consequently they were still looking for staff and certain menu items were not available. Nonetheless, the usual Korean standards were available. We shared Haemul-Pajeon (seafood pancake). My wife had Dol Sot BiBimBap and I had KimChi Jiggae. Both excellent, with generous portions we had to take back to our hotel. WARNING. The spice/heat level is high....which I like. I would recommend order one level lower than your norm.

They had a basic sampling of Korean beer and Soju.

Be warned, the place is small. Waiting for a table to open is common. I beleive that the husband was the only one cooking, so be prepared to wait for food, but it wasn't too long and tasted excellent. The two of them hustled non-stop our entire stay, with no table appearing to wait too long.

I think the prices were fair, considering the authentic taste, portion size and preparation techniques.

When we left there was a long line outside with people happy to wait.

I'd highy recommend, and looking forward to our next trip.

Outstanding Korean food! I'm from New Mexico and eat a lot of extremely hot food. Be careful ordering your meal spicy because their hot is HOT. Clean place, great service, and outstanding food!
