Decent coffee, menu features Korean dishes. Will report on food items shortly, just found out they offer dine-in service, not just carryout.
The Asian lady that was working in the store has a smart mouth. I asked her if I can use her bathroom she starts laughing and pointed where the bathroom was. Then I was leaving the shop she caught an attitude and said you no buy anything and I said no I just had to use the restroom and she then starts laughing again and says oh well the bathroom is for customers only and I told her then she shouldn't have allowed me to use it and to don't catch a attitude with me and I left no wonder I really don't see anyone in that cafe that's not how you talk to people
Beef chop chae was good fast and cheap
Never had a bad experience and I've been a patron for 5 years! Friendly service, great food!
Some of the best ramen in the city.
I didn't really check this place using a food review app, I just happened to walk by it. I decided I should have coffee and more. It was quiet when I was there on an early Friday night. Another customer was there but she was ordering something to go. I ate upstairs. Tall ceiling with artworks all over and are for sale. The beef fried rice I ordered in addition to coffee was ok. I don't know if it was Nina herself who I dealt with at the cashier by the ground floor. I guess it doesn't matter. She was helpful, though.
I ate at this place a few times and the food has never really been all that good. I've tried different things hoping to find something I like only to be disappointed each time. I also don't like being told repeatedly that I need to call first. That's very unwelcoming. My last order is exactly that...my last. My food looked a little odd, but I assumed it was how it was supposed to be prepared. I now have stomach pains and feel sick. I'm glad other people like this place, especially due to its convenience and quick service, but it's just not for me.
Waste of time and money. Dirty even for Baltimore standards. Espresso was awful.
Coffee house and restaurant with asian and American cuisine. Very reasonable prices and dining area upstairs and down is comfortable and inviting. French fries always a bit overcooked and consequently too hard to chew. Good cheese steak, pass on the chicken patty sandwich. Very large portions for asian cuisine. Would recommend more lighting upstairs and something to improve the smell of the restaurant which is not related to the food and is similar to an old house smell or one I've experienced when floors are not mopped well or with clean water.
Just had dinner there today. I had korean style shrimp curry, spouse had chivken teriyaki. Both came with white rice and salad. Large helpings of all items. Food came out quickly, hot, & delicious. It was a pretty typical korean customer service restaurant, free water in upstairs dining area, chopsticks in a bin near water, napkins on the table, server brings out the food and that is the last time you see them; including when you are done with the meal. You scrape the plate over the trash and put the dirty dishes in the bin. If you have not been to a restaurant in South Korea with this very typical restaurant service, be prepared. The food quality is worth the non-traditional american customer service you will encounter. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

I've been coming here for several years now. The food is always prepared quickly and tastes great. My favorite is the spicy salmon teriyaki.
I got the teriyaki chicken. I liked it
Eat here often - Food is excellent, never had a bad order. If you are ordering sushi or during lunchtime order ahead as they can get backed up. Korean dishes are authentic and delicious! Good coffee/espresso as well, all made to order in a nice espresso machine.
