Amazing meal. The Kimchi soup and sautéed pork belly were off the charts flavorful. I highly recommend you try this over the K-bbq craze.

We ordered chicken noodle soup, letting the waiter know that we were going to share. They thoughtfully split our order into two bowls and even gave us a little extra. The chicken noodle soup was delicious! The noodles were cooked perfectly, not too hard and not too soft. The broth was comforting, and the chicken and ingredients tasted fresh. It really was the best chicken noodle soup I've ever tried. The service was great too. We'll definitely be back again.

Holy Grail of Buns! Talk about kimchi that has the crunch / flavor that will make you ask for more. Buns that will make you watch 2x recommended volume. Simply beautiful!!!

Great food, the short rib was so tasty. Perfectly cooked, the pork belly was amazing. The tea was great, also the small sides bring out were also very tasty. I had the taste for good Korean BBQ and this hit the spot perfectly. Thanks!

Very tasty dinner - and you can see the family in action running it on a Saturday night. Everything we ordered was very tasty. We learned a couple lessons in our first visit (e.g., some entrees are just meat/rice, some entrees are very similar to the appetizers and sides), but we will order with that in mind next time. Our server had some communication hiccups with our order, but they were quickly remedied. We enjoyed all the complimentary sides, as well as the chicken bao buns. Husband ate every morsel of his short ribs. Son and I had the 2 chicken (with rice only) entrees. Lots leftover. Next time we will order more family style. Not cheap in total, even with BYOB, but worth it to eat clearly homemade food.

Wonderful authentic honest food rarely found. Cooking is INCREDIBLE!!! Lady of the house came out to great us in traditional Korean clothing. Cultural submerge into another world with food and atmosphere fully achieved.

Wow. I ordered delivery from ChowNow and the food came piping hot. I am in awe with how delicious the bulgogi and the chicken buns were. They even gave me sides with it that I didn’t expect! The crispy broccoli was consumed in .5 seconds and I cannot wait to eat in person here. I am obsessed and can’t wait to try it again!

Such good, heartwarming, wholesome, homemade food - feeling and environment. The owner makes you feel like you’re at her home and we enjoyed every dish she made. You can literally taste the love and detail to the dishes. Not too sweet, not too salty, it’s just right. Even the tea was tasty! We ordered many dishes to share family-style at our table. Best Korean food we’ve had that’s not kbbq style. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!We’ll definitely come back again! :))
