The place was cool it is semi self-service but the food was not really Korean. We got jajangmyeon, it got the vibe but not the taste, we believe it is not well-seasoned kinda off even after asking for extra sauce. For the KFC, the chicken is really fresh. I love it, but the taste doesn't really hit me again.

This place is wonderful! I'm very picky regarding Korean Food (I'm Korean) and the food hits the spot. Especially located in Pilsen. Food might take a little long but it's worth it when you see ajumma coming out of the kitchen. You know that's the real deal! My favorites are the KFC chicken wings, bulgogi bap, and the japchae.

Delicious food and a laid-back atmosphere. The bibimbap I had was satisfying and well-portioned. Service was attentive, friendly, and quick. The space was cozy and neat. I'm looking forward to coming back her and trying out their other stuff.
