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.

This is the best fried chicken in the entire area. I’m always craving it, it’s so good! I’ve tried everywhere else in a 10 mile radius and this is THE SPOT. The bulgogi is also amazing!

We tried the Pork bulgogi and the shrimp pancakes. Both were absolutely delicious. They nailed the flavors! Egg rolls were also tasty. Prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend this place. Definitely will be back to try the Korean fried wings. There's a few places to sit down which we did. I thought it was going to be empty but there were several others.

Got takeout beef bulgogi, chinese fried rice, and crab rangoon. Great flavors, good ratio of protein to vegetables. Loved the fermented korean side dish bonuses. Bulgogi was a bit too sweet but otherwise we loved it.

I pre-ordered for take out for 3:30PM and arrived a few minutes earlier.
I ordered tteok-bokki, spicy squid, hot & spicy wings and yang nyeom chicken.

Chicken was all very good.
Tteok-bokki was not good at all. The sauce tasted watered down. The rice cakes tasted a bit funky, as if it had gone slightly bad. Also, by the time we opened this dish, the rice cakes were swollen and seemed as though they had made it a while ago. I live 10 min away and have ordered this dish from places further away before, so it shouldn’t have been due to the distance.
Spicy squid also didn’t taste like much. The sauce seemed watered down and there wasn’t much squid.

This place is a hidden gem 💎. The food is sooo good, really authentic. It's more of a take out place in a sit down restaurant, hence the name. We got the beef bulgogi and Mongolian beef. Love the pickled side dishes. Will definitely be ordering from here again.

It’s such a great place. It’s close to my office and I’ll stop in and every time I do it feels like a home cooked meal. They recognize me and they know what I’ll order and sometimes recommend other things based on what they think I’ll like. It’s great every time I come and be care for and seen in that way. Support small businesses and this quaint restaurant.

Different styles of Korean as it's a great party/take out food. Pan fried and not fire BBQ like most Korean restaurants but it works as you get the sauce for the meats like that spicy pork bulgogi as you have to go spicy hot if you go Korean. Dukbokki is a must if dinning in as it has fish cake which is the best.
I finally got to try the Korean bone-in chicken and had to try the hottest. Well I guess the owner made it mild because of the people but I was hoping it was like H-mart the good extra hot Gochujang with that sweet, spicy, and savory sticky sauce. I guess next time I need to really specify I need the good stuff.
The sauce on there is great and has a little spicy sweet orange taste like what you get at a better quality Asian buffet or PF Chang's that actually puts effort in quality. So it's crispy, sticky on the fingers with the sauce, and meat is just right and not dry or over oiled fried that you taste oil and not the chicken flavor. I like it better than Wingstop or Wild Buffalo. Great size for the meat. Again I love the sticky sauce as it gets around the mouth with that sweet spicy flavor you lick off and feel some burn. For the weaker person just get the boneless so you can use a fork or chopsticks and get some rice. The Dukbokki is a perfect side if you want to keep the spicy going for the brave.
The only problem due to the location is no Korean alcohol unless you come here after drinking. This is great for takeout and you should hit an Asian market to get the alcohol and do some karaoke if you have it at a party or chilling at home. Again this reminds me of what you would get at a Korean club to sing karaoke and drink Soju or some of the younger people drinks.
Again you get a lot for your money so be kind and give a good tip to this mom-and-pop restaurant so they can keep the prices and the amount you get where it's at.
