Straight from Korea. Bulgogi was sizzling. My wife lived in Korea for two years and said it was the best real Korean cooking she’s had since being back.
Excellent authentic Korean food. I lived in Korea for 2 years and this is the best food I’ve had since. The owner makes everything herself, she’s the sweetest little lady and is so nice to talk to. 10/10 recommend
This is from Larisa Saveli’s son. Good place, the woman working here is super kind and gave us our food quickly. The food tasted amazing for me and my sister and the rest of ny family.
Such an amazing experience! And the food is so delicious! Everything is homemade. 10/10 recommend (:
Went to grab lunch with my mom. We had just missed the lunch rush, and the owner was so sweet. She brought us an appetizer dish. It was so good I forgot to take a picture of it. I ordered the Ginger Chicken, it was so good, so healthy, full of veggies and comes withrice. She also brought over a bottle of some kind of hot sauce that she makes in-house. It was just enough of a kick and was full of flavor. The owner cooks all the food from scratch and is made to order. It does take a little time to get your food, but it was worth the wait. They don't use MSG in the food, so its very healthy too. It is a cute small restaurant, and i highly recommend this little place. *The only picture I got was of the Ginger Chicken. *
I shouldn’t hear a microwave heating food at a restaurant

The owner might be Korean, but I can hardly call it food, let alone, Korean dishes. The scallion pancakes barely stick together; the chicken is not fresh; and the marinated beef short ribs are hard as stone. The drink we grabbed from the refrigerator is 4 days past the expiration date. When informed the owner of it, she explained that so long as it is not open, it should be okay to drink.... Sorry, not for us. The worst part is, the owner still demanded a 20% service fee.
By far, this is the worst Korean food I have had in the United States.

We ordered takeout and the food was so delicious and authentic I can't wait to return.
The kimchi pancakes was so good and the portion was large. Same for the scallion pancake. More fluffy than crispy and thin as you would get from somewhere else but so tasty.
Kimchi fried rice was also fantastic!

Very tiny portions of side dishes!
The food is far from what you'd call authentic Korean.
But ajumma was friendly and polite.

My husband and I love to come here for delicious food made by the lovely owner Chong. She runs the whole restaurant so you have to be patient if it's a busy night. Idk what some other reviewer's had in the past, but I've never had a dish that disappointed! Recently tried the ginger chicken and the meat was so tender. Enjoyed it with the orange citrus tea which tastes like candy. If it's quiet sometimes Chong will sit and chat. This restaurant feels like a friend invited you over to her grandmother's to eat.

Agree completely with other reviews about the food being very bland, owner being impolite, and it’s not a real Korean restaurant.
Ingredients are definitely cheap and not very fresh. Their kimchi is the worst ever, all the soup broths are just plain water with added spice powder, and beef is bland, chewy and overcooked. Owner is always with a pissy attitude.

There are a lot of reviews on here that say the food tasted like it was artificial, but that wasn’t my experience at all. The Korean food tasted delicious and had a unique yet delicious taste. I was very pleased with the food and it came out fast. I honestly am disheartened seeing these negative reviews as I hope they don’t dissuade people from trying this restaurant. It’s hard to come across Korean food that tastes authentic in this area, and I was very happy to find a place to enjoy food from my heritage.

If you like eating long-ago food reheated in the microwave, then this is the place to go. I poisoned myself with Ramen that was like a soup that you can make at home that had been in the fridge for a very long time. Just look at the picture how terrible it looks, I regret I was eating that. I was even more astonished when I saw in my banking account that I had been cheated out of a $20! tip that I never left! There was no other diners besides me, I can imagine this Korean woman squeezing the last one out with such disgusting food quality.

Kimchi Chigae is my go-to whenever I go to Little Pusan. I like that is fresh, and keeps boiling after it is served. Filling and satisfying. Chong have allowed me to call her "Unnie"/Older Sister. A "friendship" we have established from my frequent visit.

Delicious family style Korean food, my favorite food to get through the cold winter. Chong makes everything herself and you can tell she gives herself to get cooking. Highly recommended.
