“Under New Management“

“Absolutely phenomenal dining experience. The meat quality is top-notch, the service is attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is both cozy and warm. A true gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Korean BBQ flavors done right. Once you've tasted it, there's no going back!“

“Everything was perfect!“

“This place is legit Korean style. It has its own spin to the dishes but all the bowls and burritos are the perfect balance is meat, vegetables and rice. We always get the burritos and bowls. We’ve also tried the chicken katsu and it’s got the best crunch and flavor. The mini steamed mandoo is also so good. Highly recommend this place!!“

“This Korean spot is the real deal. It's super small, and only has like 4-5 tables, so the wait to dine in can be very long. Some food takes a while to come out and that is not a bad thing, as it tastes simply amazing and you can tell they take their time! The sweet and sour beef here is the truth and super authentic, the kimchi soup is just as good too! Highly recommend both of these dishes; the black noodles are alright, so I'd skip those. The service is friendly, but it's a small operation here (usually 1 person answering the phone, taking orders, handing out orders, seating people, etc.) It's a mom and pop restaurant and I hope it survives and thrives, because this place is doing authentic Korean food right.“

“The 2 ladies in the front desk are super friendly... super nice, make our party become memorable. They, so passionate to take orders from 18 person, taking care of us with smiles 😃... we love them. After eat, we moved to karaoke 🎤 room...“

“This place never disappoints. Great service, amazing chicken and overall great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“What do I say??? This is my husband and i’s FAVORITE spot to eat. We drive hours to eat here and their staff is the BEST!
Feels really homey and comfortable in here great music and the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life!

We will always come back!

Until next time we love you CM !

“Food is fantastic. For sure one of our favorite restaurants“

“It taste the best 🍱🍚🦐😋 recommended even if I have to drive 25 minutes 😁“

“Always amazing food and super nice owners“

“Overall, the food was great! We ordered variety of food and for the price, i think it was worth it. Their boba is good. I especially love their Thai boba. They serve food fast and the vibe of the place was good although their place is small. ++ They gave us a free sample of their Italian soda, we kind of like it!“

“The view at this place is great! After a graduation celebration with family, we went here to have another round of drinks and party even more. We got some juicy fried chicken and a huge egg omelette. It paired well with our beers and it was just great night“

“This place is so good not only did i leave a Google review, but now a Facebook one as well. Hands down the best KBBQ place around. The food is so good. All the meats are amazing even the vegetable sides are delicious. The owners are so nice and sweet it makes you feel like you're eating this world class meal in a family members home. Cant wait to go back!“

“I was wanting to try Korean style fried chicken. I was not disappointed. The chicken is crispy, moist and just the right amount of spice. The menu looks so good, I had difficulty deciding what to get. I will definitely come back.“

“First, the food is DELICIOUS! They have a lot more flavors of chicken available than some other K.F.C. restaurants. The tteokbokki offers more flavors & add in’s as well. You can tell the company really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction-eg they have steam vents built into the containers and the keep your to-go order propped slightly open until you pick up your order all so that your chicken remains crispy, rather than getting soggy waiting in a closed container! The staff are always very polite & conscientious. LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“Food is amazing quality, service is always fast and everyone has been super nice every time myself or someone from my work picks up food for our lunch breaks!
