Went here last night on a Monday night. The server (Korean guy in his 20s) came off right away as rude. I ordered a Sapporo all he said was “I.D.” Not a big deal but my suspicion was confirmed when I said I was looking for a vegetarian dish. The look on his face was like “oh no buddy you are in the wrong place” he told me there is nothing vegetarian on the menu. Then after a long awkward pause I was like okay well I’m going to need a moment to look it over. I don’t know… not a big deal but the server just seemed unwelcoming. I ended up getting the kimchi pancake, edamame and the hot stone bowl (minus beef) and it was good! And the ladies in the back were really nice they said thank you as I left.

Just as advertised in those Korean dramas. They make it look and taste so deliciously and it’s true from real experience.
Yummy in my tummy 😋
Seafood stew included mussels, baby shrimp and regular shrimp, octopus, daikon, green onions and kimchi. 9.2/10
Seafood pancake was really crispy and airy that came with a dipping dark soy sauce 10/10
My mother had short beef rib soup with glass noodles with a bone broth- It tasted immaculate and light 10/10

Recommended dishes: Japchae, Beef Short Ribs

I loved the food there! Didn’t even know about this restaurant until I went around that place. They should promote more about this restaurant. Trust me it’s the best Korean food I’ve ever had.

The male server made the experience terrible. Food is overpriced. Never return. You should consider letting your son find a different job (not i. customer service) before he ruins your business.

Good Korean food, and fantastic service. While it may look unassuming from the outside, the atmosphere inside is wonderful.

My second visit to this Korean restaurant was the complete opposite of my first, which came as a surprise. The first time, I left disappointed—slow service, staff focused on regulars, and food that made me question whether it was worth returning. This time, though, things went much smoother. The staff was attentive enough, my meal came out quickly, and everything tasted much fresher. It might just have been a better time of day or a different crew working, but the overall experience felt far more enjoyable. The atmosphere is still basic, with the familiar neon lights and strip-mall setting, but it did not bother me as much on the second visit. While I still would not call it a hidden gem, it is at least consistent enough to deserve a fair chance. If you are nearby or just bored and looking to try something different, one visit might be worth it.

The best Korean food in Minnesota. Anytime I visit Minnesota I always have to eat here at least once. Service was great and food was even better.

Food is expensive with very small portions. Side dish refills were limited to just two, which is unusual for a Korean restaurant. When we asked for a to-go box and chopsticks, the server said they don’t normally provide chopsticks—only making an exception this time. Honestly, the food isn’t anything special you can’t get at other Korean restaurants, and the service was disappointing. The male server was extremely rude.
