Prices vary per plate but reasonable prices. The food was soul touching and delicious it just hits the spot when you’re hungry you can’t even go wrong with anything it’s all super good and refreshing in your stomach. The cashier was very nice very helpful with any questions we had.

Delicious food, owners are so sweet and amazing they always remember me when I come by, so sad I don’t live in the area anymore but when I do come down I’ll always stop by

Food was amazing and the customer service from the owner David was outstanding! He came over and shared his story and talked with us for awhile. He is very passionate and detailed about his food. Would HIGHLY recommend.

In short, it's really bad. Stir-fried pork would probably not be tasty, but it was truly surprising. The name of Dongtae Jjigae was just the name of Dongtae Jjigae, but it was difficult to find the Dongtae stew.

I submitted this because I wanted to eat kimchi stew, but all I got was kimchi and onions. There is no meat or even tofu. Instead, it contains a lot of carrots, so I thought it was a new kimchi stew that I didn't know about.

I ate pork and kimchi stew packaged.
The stir-fried pork had a fiery flavor and was delicious. Spicy
How about dividing it into levels? I think the meat will be more delicious if it's a little spicier. And although there was no oil in the pork, it was good because it wasn't dry.
My 8-year-old daughter raved about the kimchi stew while eating it.
The kimchi tofu meat was very delicious, not too sweet or too salty.
I bought branded kimchi to eat while traveling. The kimchi you added in your contribution was more delicious.
I ordered it quickly without any expectations and it was packaged, so I give 100 points of satisfaction.
May you prosper.

I’m conflicted because i saw other customers food and it looked delicious, but i got the bibimbap and i was VERY disappointed to say the least. The bullgogi was basically ground beef. More lettuce and egg than anything else. And overpriced for sure. Maybe other things on the menu are better but i’ll say this, do NOT get the bibimbap.

I wondered why the taste of the broiler pad had changed, but the owner had changed.

I ordered a yukgaejang, a spicy brisket stew that’s a Korean mainstay. It’s good stamina food and also good for colder weather. Lots of things on the menu looked super good, but I settled for that, at the counter lady’s suggestion.I asked them to make it non-spicy, a near contradiction for yukgaejang. To my surprise, they pulled it off. I ate every morsel. Just be warned that it’s hard to eat yukgaejang without splashing drops of it on clothing. It’s a dish that’s mostly slurped.The mung bean sprouts and kimchi sides (banchan) were delicious and fresh. Better than restaurant-quality.The woman who took my order was kind, patient, and gracious. They were getting a lot of foot traffic. When I went back to her to compliment the food, she brought out the chef!Chef David Shim told me that he had been the owner of this location since last January, so just about a year, but that he ran his own Korean restaurant in Missouri for nearly 30 years. He explained how he slow cooks the ox bone to make the broth, as well as the special prep, marination, soaking, and hand-pulling he did to make the brisket extra tender. He struck me as a living encyclopedia of Korean culinary art.He told me he directs the kitchen staff himself and conducts quality control measures, including making sure the right quantities of ingredients make every dish, before a dish is served out to a customer.I saw someone else eating their spicy pork dish, and a kid whose grandma was spoiling him with galbi. The one eating the spicy pork gave a thumbs-up regarding his dish.For those getting into Korean food, this is a good starter place to try different dishes and flavor profiles. They offer a good, representative sampling of Korean restaurant fare. The portions are good and the prices are fair, given how much food prices have gone up.If you’re Korean, I think you’ll be very happy also. The food tastes authentic and satisfying, clean and healthy, and you’re definitely saving money over going to a sit down restaurant. I haven’t tried enough dishes under this new management to say more, but I look forward to going back.
