Ordered pancakes but they arrived completely burned at the bottom. Since the pancakes were perfectly cut and stacked in the box, it feels like the restaurants intentionally hid the burnt side. It doesn’t make a customer feel respected and cared for. Save your money and avoid this place.

The bibimbap was really nice. Mix of classic and original toppings. They used really nice stone bowls that crisp up the rice but they're still kind of nonstick so you don't have to scrape it. The bulgogi was really high quality too. Pro tip: proper table manners in Korea say to eat rice with a spoon, no one would ever try to eat it with chopsticks.

Ordered both pancakes. Fried very nicely, used rice flour in the batter for extra crisp. I thought they were expensive but when they came out the portions were massive.

I came here when they first opened and it seems like the menu has more items and the quality is higher too. If you haven't checked it out in a while, give it another shot.

So scrumptious. I always order to-go from here and have never had any issues. Wish they opened sooner though.

This place is really good~!
Such go-curl chicken ribs and tteokbokki.
Just the right amount of saltiness and spiciness!
(American food is generally a bit salty. I was having a hard time, but wow, it’s good)

It's good for curing homesickness after a short trip to Chicago^^
Whenever I go to Korea, I always think of it.

great for groups or solo. self-serve side dish bar, take out and dine in and limited dinner hours only (5-9 pm) but totally worth the wait for authentic tasty diverse Korean meals! Bathroom could be better. Tv with K-pop playlist is fun. Street parking only. Have come here twice already and is my go-to for Korean food in neighborhood. Prices so reasonable for portion sizes! Tried rib-eye beef platter, and hot bulgogi, japchae noodles with chicken, and spam rolled sushi (although last two dishes were not dry). My friend loved her fried rice and dumplings!

I am always thrilled when I find a place that has unexpectedly great food. This place was one of those wonderful surprises! Chef Son was in and spent time chatting with us and sharing background about all the food. He clearly has a passion for what he is doing and it shows in the food. Both the Bibimbop and the Cheese Dakgalbi were exceptional. Free sides for dine in were also tasty and a bonus. This is exactly the kind of place that I want to see flourish so I'm planning on being back here regularly.

Vegetarian options: Chef Son can identify exactly which dishes are vegetarian and gluten free and which ones can be adapted and how. Quite a few choices for both and really willing to adapt to needs.

Dietary restrictions: Several gluten free options

For almost $30 I expected a lot more food, but these portions don’t match up to the prices.

A restaurant I visited by chance after riding a bicycle for 90 km.
The owner is friendly and the food is delicious (soft tofu stew)
Even the choco pie was good as a service!
