Ok y'all, the only reason I'm just leaving a review now is coz I'm always coming in hungry, but always leaving full and satisfied (I end up knocking out after). I'm making it a point to leave a review now before I forget. My boyfriend and I probably come here every other date night since we first came here. The food is so good, the lady who cooks the food is so sweet...and the food is soooo good!

So this place has Korean food on the menu not typically found elsewhere, things that I enjoy, so I was very excited to give this place a try. But the food, even the side dishes, were disappointing. Bibimbap for example is difficult to mess up, but they their sauce was too much vinegar and not enough gochujang and sugar. As a result the whole dish was ruined. I reallly liked the employees and owners there though, which somewhat made up for the lacking quality of food.

This place is super lowkey which is great. The food is absolutely delicious and the closest thing to home-cooked that you can get! The restaurant itself is decent sized with in person dining if you want. I ordered takeout and the food was ready in 20 minutes! The prices are fair and reasonable. Will definitely be back here anytime I am craving delicious Korean food!
