Really tasty food and nice banchan assortment! Ask for the lunch specials if you’re there in the middle of the day, and the seafood pancake is a perfect sharing starter- big chunks of seafood and delicious dipping sauce. A great local place in Hell’s Kitchen! Takeout packed up nicely and travels well.
WoW! Just perfect. Don't be fooled by the small space, this is REALLY REALLY good korean food. Everything we ordered was spot on. Cannot recommend enough.
So glad this spot opened up in the neighborhood. Everytime I've gone, I've gotten something different, and everything's been delicious!
