We ordered yesterday. The yaki is not the same. it looks like a steamed dumpling and did not taste good. It looks nothing like the photo on the menu or posted on the facebook page. The beef fried rice had little meat and egg. It was just sprinkled on top as an after thought. The beef bulgogi Is a new recipe did not taste the same at all. Sad because we have been a customer for years. Very disappointing. New owner with same menu but different recipe/taste. Unfortunately not in a good way taste more store bought then freshly made. We actually all felt terrible later that day and the next with upset stomachs. I don’t recommend

It's a cute little place! The staff was very welcoming from the get go. We ordered the combination that you grill yourself and it was so much food that we ended up with 2 takeout containers to go with us. We are a family of 4. We'll definitely be back!

We loved coming here! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and the service is always fast. My husband had many going away lunches here for his soldiers, and the food never disappointed. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious.
We also ordered takeout other times and I was really impressed with how well everything was packaged. It tasted just as amazing as dining in. My personal favorite is the combination yaki soba. My little one loves the Egg drop soup! It’s packed with flavor and always hits the spot. The lunch specials are unbeatable with generous portions and a great variety.
If you’re looking for a place with great food, friendly service, and excellent value, this is definitely it. Highly recommend!

This restaurant has been under a few different owners in the past couple of years, and the new owners are setting a high bar! We’ve been several times under the new ownership and service is excellent, food is cooked perfectly, drinks are refilled without asking, and the new owners even followed us out the door and thanked us for eating there as we were getting in our car. Highly recommend!

Congratulations!! This gem of a restaurant tucked down VFW Memorial drive is a Korean treasure!! Some of the best Korean and Asian Cuisine you can find short of visiting Korea or Asia!! They have the best Galbi Korean style ribs, and Beef Bulgogi Korean style barbecue in Missouri bar none!! The meat has been magnificently marinated with their secret recipe!! Brings out the flavor and just melts in your mouth!! They bring many of the traditional sides to eat with the meal!! The kimchi is an explosion of flavor all at once, sweet, hot, sour, salty but not overpowering, wonderful mixture of sesame oil, red pepper, pepper paste, garlic, fish oil!! Truly fit for a king, the New owners bring excitement to the restaurant, with their wonderful daughter’s assistance, makes it a memorable experience!! Go check them out, you will be glad you did, and you will be blessed for it!!

I was in town from Dallas looking for food. When visiting a town, I love trying the local eateries! Originally, I went to the other Korean spot, but they only took cash, so I came here. They have awesome customer service, but the food is just not up to par. I only asked for onions to be added to my fried rice, but I never wanted to omit the veggies. I'm 90% plant-based, so there would be no reason to omit veggies for me. She misunderstood my ask. No problem. She brought out a side of veggies, but they weren't the fried rice veggies (carrots/peas). They were mushrooms, carrots, and I believe sautéed bok choy. I didn't enjoy the taste, so I just ate the rice plain. I don't like sending my food back, nor do I like doctoring it up to taste good. The flavor and texture of the rice were ok.
The Korean pancake was thick and gummy!!! The owner said I should've asked for extra crispy, but I have never had any Asian pancake this texture. It has always been served thin, flaky, and crispy. Everybody does it differently. 🤷🏽♀️
Some of the sides were very bland, and so was the ramen (which was not scratch-made ramen noodles). I simply didn't enjoy my meal and left most of it on the table. 😕
Waitstaff was very nice and helped me get gluten-free and vegan options.
