Discriminatory. Told me the place closes at 9p.m. before I placed my order and when I was going to use the bathroom before leaving and before 9p.m. the Asian lady behind the counter looked stunned. Went back upstairs to see a nice Caucasian couple still enjoying their meal who were probably making a point to tell me to stay longer too. Don't go here. Horrible food too.

Adequate lunch special for a very good price. A little low on flavor
My wife and I came here for an early dinner- the food was okay. Not outstanding but okay. It didn't taste as good as other authentic dishes I have been served in the past. Many dishes were not as warm as they could have been. I ordered Ramen and kimbap, and ttoboki,
Service was not as great as it could have been. I felt like I was being treated like I was a burden rather than a customer. I had to tip so it felt like I could have been treated with more friendliness. The staff was not rude but definitely NOT ATTENTIVE either.
However, I do appreciate the many small dishes we received to compliment our food and the Korean spicy sauce was delicious.
The prices were not reasonable either. It is a pricy restaurant for the lack of service and mediocre cuisine.
My wife and I will not be returning.
To add- They never pick up the phone. My wife and I wanted to reserve the tables here however we could not reach anyone. It is busy so we may be understanding there.
To those reading the review- we would suggest better Korean restaurants for the prices they give here. The price is not worth the food here or service.

Best korean lunch special you can find in Manhattan. Very generous portions of food. Tasty pork bulgogi and wings. Kimchi rice is good and that extra kimchi is so good! Very chill place, fast service!

I ordered the sweet potato noodles. They were disgusting. Had to throw away. Oil tasted burnt or old and it was drenched in it. My sister ordered a different meal and that went in the trash too. Over $40 wasted don’t waste your money

This place is a scam. I can’t believe it happened in USA. I ordered short rib and it costs more than all other beef on the menu. they charged me $41+ for this order after I made sure it is beef short rib. When I got the order, I know it’s not beef short rib so I brought it to then boss’s attention and asked why there was no bone on short ribs. She lied saying it’s boneless… why you take off the bone from the short rib and costs more work ? Also, it’s not beef short rib and it tastes so dried liked regular beef. Please avoid this place if you want authentic Korean food. And avoid the scam. She really thinks we don’t do groceries shopping or we don’t have common sense that we can’t differentiate types of beef. If you charged the price for beef short rib, please make sure give what we order. And it is nothing liked pic that is presenting in the restaurant

I ate here on Saturday 30 August and ordered the spicy pork bibimbap, which unfortunately gave me the worst food poisoning of my life and turned into a bacterial infection in my intestines that ended me up in the emergency room as I had become so weak. I love bibimbap and regularly eat Korean food, but would avoid this place. I did not eat anything hours before or after this meal, and woke up the next morning with initial symptoms of a high fever, so have no doubt this was what got me sick. Attaching the transaction as proof (transaction is in European time zone as I was a visitor from there, so real transaction time was 6 hours earlier).

Have never had a bad dish here and I've gotten it, conservatively, several times a month for over a year. Everything is delicious and comforting.

Good food and service
I have ordered food from them. Their delivery guy forces me to give him a $5 tip or he won’t give me the food. This is not about money. This is about principle. This is unacceptable.
