.✦ ݁˖ Visiting from California, this was my first meal in MC and it was a pretty good experience overall. The service was a bit slow since there was only one server working, but they were still friendly and doing their best. I ordered the soontofu, and it came with a lot of soft tofu plus a good amount of seafood pieces in the stew. The flavor was comforting and satisfying, especially with the rice on the side. 𐔌՞ ܸ.ˬ.ܸ՞𐦯

Great food, seated my group of three quickly even though it was a Saturday night. This area of Cary isn't as busy as others. This is no reflection on the food, trust me, there were plenty of Koreans awaiting their own meals on a night out. We had yakisoba with Bulgogi, fried chicken appetizer, Spider crab roll, Bulgogi roll, and a cute ice cream sandwich for dessert, fish-shaped with a side of green tea ice cream scoops, YUM!!

This was my first time trying Korean food, and unfortunately it will also be my last. My dad and I went to this restaurant very hungry, but we had a really bad experience.

When we arrived, there were no other customers in the restaurant, yet we still had to wait nearly 30 minutes for our food. By that time, my dad was already extremely hungry. After the food finally arrived, my dad realized that the dish he ordered was very spicy. He has a sore throat and couldn’t eat anything spicy. We tried to communicate this with the staff, especially since the menu did not mention that the dish was spicy, nor did it include any indication of chili.

What disappointed me the most was the staff’s attitude. It was extremely rude — we have lived in North Carolina for three years and have never experienced service this bad.
She told us that people who come to a Korean restaurant should already know that many Korean dishes are spicy. She even questioned us, asking, “Why didn’t you ask in advance if it was spicy?”

We completely understand that Korean cuisine has its own characteristics. However, we also hope this restaurant understands that not every customer is familiar with every Korean dish. If a dish is spicy, it is necessary to clearly indicate that on the menu. When I tried to politely suggest this to the staff, she interrupted me multiple times and even questioned me, asking, “Why are you so angry?”

I believe that as a restaurant, maintaining politeness and basic humility is essential. Unfortunately, this restaurant did not demonstrate those basic standards.

Loved coming here. Pleasant surprise. The service felt like I was being hosted in a home. The sushi was great but I fully intend to try other dishes next time.

Had the shrimp yakisoba and it was great! The noodles were cooked perfectly, the veggies were cooked just right: not too soggy or too crunchy, and the sauce a nice sweetness to it, balanced &bringing the whole dish together! 10/10 recomend

We found this place because it was open later and we're so glad!! We were celebrating our 20 year anniversary and it was perfect. Small, cozy and delicious. Everything we ordered was 10 of 10 nothing was lacking, complete flavor bomb. The chicken wings were stellar, the bulgogi wraps were fire! The sushi was fantastic, we had the secret garden and crunchy diablo roll. We WILL be back! The host was so attentive and precious. My new favorite spot ❤️

Great food but unfortunate smell inside. They may have clogged drain pipes or something because it always smells like bathroom or sewage. I usually eat in but will do take out in the future. The smell inside really ruins my appetite.
