Food is absolutely wonderful, and the overall atmosphere of the place just makes you feel like you’re in Korea. It may seem pricey to some but the portion sizes make the price totally worth it. I loved it and so did my girlfriend will definitely be coming back.

I got the grilled mackerel and my boyfriend got the japchae, both were excellent and satisfying! I loved that it came with rice I could mix with the mackerel. We also loved the banchan that we had. So yummy! We will definitely come back again.

I never leave reviews at restaurants but Not only was this the best Korean food I've ever had in my entire life, I can confidently say this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. If I could leave 10 stars I would.

I recommend this place every chance I get! Best Bulgogi and Sweet&Spicy wings of NKY… def on my top list of placesDietary restrictions: If you let them know when you order, they are extremely accommodating!Parking: There is street parking out front and the side with a large and cheap parking garage behind the restaurant. Never hard to get a place to park.
Excellent. Very good food! Great vegetarian selection. All around spectacular. Fun food that is authentic is great. Super service.

Definitely one of the gems in northern Kentucky. Food is just awesome, service is always stellar and the whole experience really can't be beat.

Food was great. Service was even better. We had a couple of hard to please people that joined us for dinner unfortunately. Our server was gracious, polite and stood her ground very well with their "demands". She got a big tip on that point alone. It was a smaller menu than I expected but all very well prepared and presented and my family was very happy and left with lots of leftovers.Kid-friendliness: If you have a picky kid, don't take them to these places. You and your kid will never be happy. Take them to McD like you usually do and leave the food adventures for people that don't expect special treatment for their kids in a specific cultural setting and available menu.

BEST KOREAN RESTAURANT IN THE CINCINNATI AND COVINGTON AREA. They forgot some sauces for my bimbab bap and we didn’t have a car to go pick it up since we were in a hotel, but they were nice enough to deliver it so my wife could enjoy her food. NOW THATS SERVICE!!! Wife loved the bibim bap, Mandu, and daegi bokum. Very good authentic Korean food. If you are Korean this is the place to eat.

I picked up take-out here, and loved the comfortable setting and the convenient location -- perfect for window-shopping the small shops while walking from parking to the restaurant. The inside seems narrow, until you take a right and see the ajoining dining room, which is well-decorated and cozy. The hostess was friendly and open to answering questions. The food was pretty good. I got the ya chae pa jun (vegetable pancake), and it was packed with veggies! The kim chee was okay, though I expected more heat to it. The sauce on the dak bul go gi (chicken barbecue) was excellent -- very complex and flavorful, but the chicken itself seemed dry and a little overdone. All in all, some good solid Korean food in a clean and pleasant setting.

I met a business colleague for lunch and was thoroughly impressed. The service and atmosphere were both outstanding. The food choices all sounded incredible and it was tough to decide what to get. I got Korean Barbeque and was amazed at the flavor and quality.I will be coming back soon!

The best Korean restaurant in the town, as the food and decorations are almost the same as what in Korea are. The tiger ?? works as a generally logo/mascot at the front door and on the wall of the dinning area. There are traditional Korean dining rooms, the bar and the modern dining area. We ordered the Kim Bab as the special sushi with sauce and the seafoof pancake for appetizers. We ordered he BI Bim Bap as the main dish with the protein of Gal Bi and Dae Ji Bul Go Gi. I would say the sizzling style grills are really worth it with the beef to be tender and crispy. Also the Sul Long Tang makes us feel warm on a winter night. Everything is great here. Do remember to make a reservation first during the rush hours.
