Just had lunch here with our family. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. All of the food was absolutely delicious, my daughter had one of the soups and my husband and I got two different rice dishes. The fried chicken was our favorite, absolutely amazing and delicious.

Waited a very long time for an appetizer. Got a ticket during the last 5 minutes of waiting. $22 appetizer turned into $40.

The lady at the desk was so sweet. She gave us extra side dishes to try with the food we got. It made us feel very welcome and I'm definitely coming back again.

This restaurant blew me away. The service was great, the food was outstanding, and everything feels like it’s homemade. The Gyoza may seem like an item you would pass on, but do not! They are hand made and have delicious pork and glass noodles in them. Thanks for a great meal!

I ordered mapo tofu and it tasted nothing like it, it was more like a random sweet sauce on it. Vegetable pancake was okay, lacking salt.

We almost left because the atmosphere was off a little bit. It was about 45 minutes before their closing time and it didn't seem like they were very busy. But then this amazing waitress came and made us feel right at home. We got the vibe that the level of quality here was restricted by the owner or management... The waitress Evyn apologized for things that were out of her control, but we didn't mind at all. Ultimately, the food was amazing but the service is what makes this place what it is. Bibimbap sauce was dank!

Checked in to get a table. They just take who ever walked up after us. What a waste of time. It wasn’t that busy … make a list maybe if you can’t keep track.
Couldn’t tell you, my wife and I were waiting on line and they took people from behind and serve them in front of everybody who is waiting
Came here with my family, and ordered fish cutlet (for myself), tonkatsu, naengmyeon, and jeyuk bokkeum.
The food was great. I'm from an area with a lot of authentic Korean restaurants, so I wasn't sure how this would taste, but the flavors were authentic and the food tasted very fresh. My fish cutlet in particular was great — flaky, hot, and mildly seasoned fish, with a crispy but not too tough battered exterior. The tonkatsu was a bit tough and had some gristle, and the naengmyeon was oddly lukewarm, but the jeyuk bokkeum was fine.
My one major complaint would have to be the service. I did come on a very busy night, right around freshman move-in for the nearby college, but it was nearly impossible to flag down a server and get anything without at least 2-3 requests. Our food also took quite a while (~30 mins) to come out, and they were out of side dishes (banchan) + rice/cups/utensils at various points.
Overall, a decent Korean restaurant that didn't seem prepared for its influx of customers. It's probably much better when it's not as busy.

The tofu soup was tasting nothing, too much water in it.

Great place, really nice waiters, and great place overall. (The food is also nice, and the spicy stuff aren't overly spicy)

Genuinely some of the best food I've had and the absolute best service I've ever had at a restaurant. Both women working the dining room were kind and generous.

I was just passing through town and got takeout. Chicken wings were very good. Kimchi was excellent.
