My fav korean spot.

Love their yukgaejang and cold noodles
Reasonable price
Will hear korean music/entertainment in the background

We live across the street and have dined in about once a month for 13 years. This is a literal mom and pop spot that has 3-4 people working tops at any time. The “waiter” is the husband owner and his wife owner does the cooking. He gets a bit overwhelmed at times, but is super generous. His wife is so nice and they both love babies/kids. Our children are 9 and 10 now, but when they were young they would carry them around the restaurant. They still give them a special snack...

We went there on a random afternoon. Food is authentic and good. They forgot the beef in one noodle dish but everything tasted good, and i wonder if they misunderstood my order due to the language barrier. They were playing korean songs on tv -- looks like from 1980s. Other customers all look like korean families, so it tells me it's good. I find it different and charming. Will definitely be back again!
