The food and service were amazing. Brought my boyfriend here for the first time and Miss Cha was super helpful and showed us how to combine all of the ingredients. They use traditional charcoal grills which is the preferred way and gives the food a nice flavor. I’ll definitely return and highly recommend others come here for an authentic experience!

The inside is pretty no frills - no gaudy decorations or loud music. It's a simple spot with good authentic Korean food. Didn't try the barbecue and prices overall weren't an amazing deal but the sides were good enough and the entrees were definitely authentic. Would highly recommend the pancakes, they were made really well and all of the soups seemed really tasty. Service was really quick and I'd definitely be back to try their take on other dishes.

This is such a lovely spot! Being open so late is such a luxury in the post-Covid world. I had their silken tofu stew and it was excellent. The kimchi is hands down the best I’ve ever had, excellent spice and depth of flavor. The menu is reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is super cozy. Their dumplings to start are super affordable.Can’t recommend this wholesome and delicious place enough.

A great experience. The restaurant is very true to the owner, and speaks volumes about her dedication to cuisine. It is a true home-cooked meal that tastes great and soulful. The kimchi is hands down the best kimchi I've ever had, it is so fresh with a delicious bite and depth of flavor. I had the silken tofu stew, piping hot and a perfect portion. Really down to earth place with a very cozy aesthetic. Feels authentic, and tastes that way too!

This place is not worth the money. Food was alright but we ended up spending $60+ per person and not all of us were full. We were the only people in the restaurant and yet we waited at least 20 minutes for our food to come out. The lady serving us was very rude to some of the people in our group. The interior was very old fashioned, I felt like I was transported back to the 90s. If you want to go to a kbbq and leave full, go to an AYCE restaurant, not here.

The food is great, and the staff always chat with us and make us feel welcome. It's the sort of place we go back to on special occasions. And the staff remember us!
This is the most authentic and tasty Korean Restaurant I've tasted outside of Korea! Thank you for such a pleasant experience!

Unfortunately, my experience tonight was the absolute WORST!!!!!! Although the food was on point EVERYTHING ELSE regarding my dining experience was absolutely HORRIBLE!!!! From the moment I walked in the door until I left the lack of interest to deliver even decent service was NON EXISTENT. I watched other guests dining in receive decent service, greeted almost immediately once seated, order taken within a reasonable amount of time, receive their food in a timely manner, server checked on them, and the server engaged in conversation with all the other guests. I was stared at by staff in the kitchen as well as guests as if they had never seen a black woman before. It was a wait before I was greeted at the table , it was a wait before the server took my order, it was a wait to receive my appetizer (kimchi pancake), and it was a wait for my entree (duck) It was just a VERY underwhelming experience. I have eaten here before however, did not receive the type of service I encountered tonight. Very disappointed. I endured the extreme sub par service because I knew the food would be great however, I can say because of the service received tonight it will be hard to go back! Very unfortunate.

Overall ok place that's open late. If it's 11:30pm, I'd honestly would go to thrill kbbq in Sandy springs instead next time and wait until their midnight special if it's a Friday/Saturday bc it's $28/AYCE per person. This place was $32 for maybe 5 oz of meat per portion of brisket or bulgogi. $42 if you want to get a portion of kalbi. I'd return if it's the only place open and get maybe their tofu soups instead for $14. Service: Greeted immediately upon entry. Our server was really friendly but clearly overworked and voiced it loudly. I do like that they cook the meats there for you. On a late Saturday around 11pm, I saw about 4 employees. Food: Good flavor and taste on the meats and banchans but I cannot justify the price. The meats are grilled on charcoal so it does have a great smoky flavor but that's it. The kimchi is really good here though. Price: $32 for bulgogi and $32 for brisket EACH PLATE. Pictures attached. Pretty good and tasty quality brisket but dang, put a lil more than just 10 thin slices! Not sure how the owner sleeps at night knowing how small their meat portions are. Bulgogi was a little more acceptable size compared to brisket but still ridiculous. Ambiance: 90s vibe for sure- hasn't been updated since 2000 probably. Old school. 2000s music videos playing (Britney spears).
