I only wish they had in-house seating. This is now my go-to place for kimchi. The food is terrific and the people there are great!

I’ve tasted various cabbage kimchi and gimbap around St. Louis, but theirs are my favorite. The service was fast, even if I just walked-in. Great customer service. I’m not around the city, but the 45 minutes drive is worth it. 🥰

They only do to-go, but the food is top quality — super tasty, fresh, and packed with care.
Highly recommend if you're in the area. I’ll be ordering again for sure!

My husband and I are always in the hunt for great ethnic food in St Louis. We are blessed to have many(Saffron, Addie's Thai, Chilispot, Tikka Tangy). We were in the search for Korean after becoming enamored with K dramas. We were not disappointed in SOS. Absolutely delicious. We ordered the dumplings that were crisp even as takeout. The spicy pork bowl was delicious with a combination of noodles on top of rice. Not spicy, but I put ghost pepper on everything, so I am not a great judge of normal spicy. The other dish we ordered was the beef bulgogi box, also terrific. We did add chili crisp to everything to spice it up. We also had no leftovers, which is unusual for us. The perfect amount of food. As someone else mentioned, call the restaurant directly. If you order takeout through any of the apps listed, you are charged an additional15 to 20%. So excited we found this place with help from the other reviews.

Food was very tasty but a little overpriced. They did not fill the box all the way up.

I really hoped that I would like this place and the food. Unfortunately, their food tasted blanded. I was really disappointed. I ordered yookgaejang, beef bulgogi gimbap, and spicy pork lunch box. The yookgaejang broth was too salty, and the meat in spicy pork lunch box had no flavor. I could not taste beef in the gimbap. I honestly think the quality of the food did not even match the frozen Korean food you can find in Costco. I drove 30 minutes from O'Fallon to try some authentic Korean food, but it was not worth it. So sad.

Everything tastes delicious and fresh. I got raw marinated crab and kimchi, and both were phenomenal. 100% recommend and I definitely will be back.

Love this place, I will end up coming here more often especially when you don’t want to cook yourself. I love how when you order something spicy it stays true to the recipe. I love everything I got, can’t wait to try more.

I can't help but rave about this hidden gem I've discovered—I've visited a few times, and each experience has only deepened my love for the food they serve. Despite its name suggesting otherwise, don't expect a sit-down restaurant vibe; this vibrant take-out spot delivers big flavors!

My all-time favorites here? Let's dive into the deliciousness:

-Bulgogi Kimbap: A delightful roll that perfectly balances the savory flavors of marinated beef with fresh veggies.
- Spicy Pork Kimbap: This roll packs a punch that tantalizes the taste buds of those who crave a bit of heat.
-Spam Kimbap: Yes, you read that right! This classic comfort dish transforms humble spam into a delightful treat wrapped in seaweed and rice.
-Beef Bulgogi Box: This generous serving of tender, marinated beef is served alongside a perfectly balanced array of sides. For a heartier take, try it as a bowl bop.
-Spicy Pork Bowl Bop: For spice lovers, this bowl is a flavor adventure you won't want to miss!

And there's more! This spot features a charming grocery corner with typical Korean side dishes, refreshing drinks, and much more to complete your culinary journey.

If you're a fan of Korean cuisine or simply looking to elevate your taste experience, I recommend stopping by. This place is a must-visit, with excellent flavors and prices that won't break the bank! Go check it out in person—I promise you won't regret it!
