Loved it. Highly recommend. Service was very friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in. Great vegetarian options, and was super impressed. Have heard they are closing soon and reopening in another location TBD. Check them out before they close!

The food here is amazing. Would highly recommend the fried rice. Great service and affordable.

I really like the food and the atmosphere. Star taken off because if you don't want to dine in then you have to order through online services and all 3 that they partner with have very drastically different menus. Would also like the option to be able to order via app and do pickup vs a delivery (which for them is associated with very high service fees for some reason)

This is a hard one to rate. The Korean fried chicken is EXCELLENT! Other things I tried were mediocre and in some cases poorly prepared (e.g. a noodle dish with broccoli where the broccoli had absorbed so much oil it just tasted like oil). So 5 stars for chicken, 2.75 for other food - average rounded up to 4 stars.

Came in toward closing for a snack and drink. Despite being the end of their day all of the bartenders and servers were extremely friendly and gracious. We ordered a couple drinks and a chicken sandwich to split. Both the mai tai and the screaming fat rat were awesome. Tasted really fresh and tropical-perfect to combat the freezing Worcester night! The chicken sandwich was awesome. The fries are more like potato slices with a spicy ketchup that I need more of on everything! It also comes with some pickled radishes that were super good. The space is bright, airy, and comfortable. I definitely look forward to returning to try more of the menu! Thank you everyone working for feeding us so near to closing time!

Needed to find a place for lunch while our daughter was at a basketball clinic. Simjang was excellent! The options were simple (one page menu) yet plenty of choice. Our waiter was very attentive and gave suggestions as we were first timers. We did the 3 course meal for $26; so much food, I brought some home. Korean fried chicken was delicious, ramen was filling, and be sure to leave room for dessert!

After finishing a delicious meal of crispy fried chicken (served with not one, but TWO dreamy sauces), fish sauce Brussels sprouts, and chewy kimchi fried rice, I suddenly realized that my tongue was bleeding. Bleeding because I'm pretty sure I BROKE ONE OF MY TASTE BUDS...five stars!

The food and service were very good. The drink menu was great. We had an all around, wonderful time.

Not a typical traditional Korean restaurant, but that isn't a bad thing. The atmosphere of the restaurant is vibrant and the decor is very aesthetically pleasing. I came here for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. There was only one waiter, but he was very attentive to my table. The food was definitely worth the price. I like how the restaurant is family-style so my party and I were able to share and enjoy everything together. After lunch, we went upstairs to check out the arcade games they had to offer (it's free to play)! If you're looking to experience something new and eat good food, this would be the place to go!

Came here for the KPop night on Halloween but it was cancelled because they didn't sell enough tickets . We ordered drinks and they came pretty quick and were fairly good. I had the Screamin fat rat! There's not much vegan food so we got the edamame dumplings fried and they were really good. My daughter who is not vegan got the bibambap and she said it was very good! Our waitress was sweet but seemed busy cleaning because it was later at night. I'll definitely reconsider adding another star if they put more vegan options on the menu. Great place!! PS they have a arcade upstairs it's limited but nice little touch! There's also a bar up there.

It was good, but a bit overpriced. I wasn't crazy hungry so wanted a soup or salad, but they really didn't have those options. Went with the short rib buns. It was very yummy.

Many issues plague this young joint. The restaurant has a painfully small and limited menu. Its almost like little effort was put into creating their food offering (see menu pics). Apps: very small portions for the price. 6 Trader Joes quality steamed dumplings for $11? Signature fried chicken: again, expensive for very small portions. Two smashed small thighs and two small smashed legs for $11. The value is extremely low. Flavor is decent but food took too long to come out for what it is. I had hope for this place but things started off wrong when their advertized korean beer "bottle" came in a 10 oz glass. I drink too many 12 oz bottles, I know what that amount looks like :-) File this one under tried but never again. Worcester is thriving with new retaurants vying for your dollar$ and trying hard to make you happy as a consumer, seek those out instead.

New place. Colorful vibe. Not authentic Korean, Fusion place with Chicken wings on the menu. Beers are priced high at 8 and over(is it a new trend around here, Boston is still in $-6-7). We had three apps and Bibimbap-veg and Tuna. Wasn't in a hot stone bowl and so the container wasn't Sizzling. I like my rice charred from the hot stone. Will visit for a fun time in a nice location but not for Authentic Cuisine! .

Free video game mode. Good drinks. $5 Pork belly bun Football Thursday Special. Enjoyed the crispy wings without batter, also on Football Thursday Special. The Spicy sauce had really good flavor without too much burn.
