Food was absolutely horrible. I literally got two spoonfuls and paid my bill and walked out absolutely disgusting.

My friends and I wanted to hang out and get dinner together because we haven't seen each other for Halloween. I suggested this place (since I went here before with my family) and said that the food was good. I decided that I wanted to try and order in Korean because I wanted to practice my Korean. I showed up at the door with my friends and I said "Hello, table for 3" in Korean but then I got the most JUDGMENTAL side eyes ever. I thought I was just hallucinating but then like when I sat down and ordered tteokboki and spicy pork in Korean, the server repeated my order back to me in ENGLISH. Like excuse me?? im trying my best here to speak to u?? I get that I'm like a teenager but I was not like loud and annoying cus me and my friends are very quiet people.

Anyways I got my food but then they gave us 2 cokes instead of 2 cold waters. I tried to say "Oh wait I don't want coke I said I wanted cold water" but they didn't even LOOK my way so I had to be stuck drinking coke (which added like $6 on the bill). Also the tteokboki is disgusting cus it had the consistency of tomato soup (it was NOTHING like how my family makes it). Also while me and my friends were eating the server kept walking by and gave us side eyes and stuff.

Then I asked for the check (which I paid in Apple Pay) and then he shoved the check to me and pointed to the area where it said "tip". He was literally giving me a death stare as I tipped him 15% and I got up and left IMMEDIATELY. guys not only was the food like really bad and NOT anything like authentic Korean food but the staff made me feel like I was 2 inches tall and they seemed like bullies.

The server I am referring to is a Korean tall man with a square face and glasses. There is also a nice Korean ahjumma (old woman) there but I am not talking about her because the previous times I went she was really nice. But I have so much pent up anger and annoyance against that one particular tall man. Also there was another woman who my mom told me that almost SCAMMED her??

I rarely write reviews and I keep my emotions and anger to myself but the fact that I had this horrible of an experience shows that I will NEVER be returning and if I ever see that one tall man with the glasses I will tip him in the negatives.

Good place to get a quick bite of authentic Korean food. Tofu is super tender and the soup is very flavorful. You can choose the spicy level, and medium seems to work well for me. The soups come with rice. Love the beef soup. But their side dishes/appetizers are really lacking compared to other korean restaurants. services are slow.

Food is okay. Beef bulgogi and hot stone bibimbap were good.

Bill already include 20% tip (after tax ), don’t double tip them. Not recommend this restaurant, under average.

I am a lover of Korean foods and this place was good but not excellent. Definitely helped with my bulgogi craving but I have had better. Japchae is pretty good I will get that again if I go. The bonchon wasn’t super fresh but the kimchee was amazing!

The food is not good, if you are hungry it is ok, but the tofu is not good, the vegetables are not fresh, the water tastes bad, it is heavy and not fresh, it does not taste like real Korean food, the person who takes the orders does not know what is on the menu. I would not recommend this place.

SGD has great tofu stew. I like the kimchi beef stew and seafood stew. The level 4 spice level has good heat but doesn’t burn your palate out. The seafood pancake is excellent to start with. Definitely a great place to get your Korean fix. My nephew loves the kalbi because he gets to eat the whole plate!
