My friend and I wanted some warm soup in the cold winter, so we found this gem around the area!
Really quick service and the owner was so considerate and sweet.
We got the army stew, seafood pancake and steamed dumplings (also can order as fried). Everything hit the spot and we even had enough as leftover to take home as two people eating!
Definitely a really good lunch/dinner spot and will definitely be coming back!

Was looking for some quick grub before karaoke and was walking up and down the street. Found this place and figured I'd give it a try. I spoke to the owner as well and had a cool chat about the establishment and his hopes for the place.
The food is affordable, practically a steal considering the prices of other places. On average, you’re looking at about $14-15 a head, a few bucks more for a drink too. Given that most entrees include two bases and 3 sides, that’s really good.
I got fried chicken bites with fries, salad, and various banchan:
- The chicken is moist and crispy, the fries are still crispy an hour+ later. - The banchan is very standard, no complaints - I got the gochujang aioli and the owner recommended the katsu sauce for the chicken so he gave me that as well. Both sauces are very solid, no complaints
The owner himself was very pleasant to speak to and seemed really passionate about keeping prices down as best as he is able and building a sense of community. Just by talking to him and looking at the menu, you can tell this is a passion project and not so much a profit one.
I will be coming back and wish this establishment the best in these trying time.

The Korean Army stew, the katsu bites and all of the fried foods honestly, INCLUDING the plain fries, are all so good. The prices are super affordable especially for the area, and we left here full.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a quick and cheap bite.

Came here for a light dinner since we weren’t feeling too hungry, but we ended up finishing everything we ordered. The Sundubu was especially delicious and the nice gentleman even gave us an extra side dish on the house and a yakult. Will definitely visit again!

Incredible gamjatang!! The portions for two people were really great for me and my friend and it was delicious!! The vibes are very authentic korean gamjatang 맛집/pocha and the owner was very sweet and gave us a free side dish since it was slow when we came. Will definitely be coming back and telling people about it!!

We were underwhelmed by the food quality. Not sure if it was because we went there for lunch but the food we ordered like the Jokbal was clearly microwaved for us (coz we could hear it from from the kitchen that’s just couple tables away). All other food such as the pancake and appetizers were mediocre. I think you would have gotten better food for dinner - just not for lunch.

Very cozy little spot. Decent food and loved the atmosphere of the place.
I ordered it after reading the Google ratings and reviews, but I was disappointed that it wasn't a good place to even give it a 1-star rating.
1. When I took a bite of the fish cake served as a side dish, it had a strong sour taste, probably because it had gone bad. 2. The gamjatang was sweet and did not have the taste or scent of gamjatang. (I don’t even understand why there is no beef in gamjatang)
Conclusion: Even if the food is being served to the owner's customers, I hope they will taste the food before leaving. Sorry, but I ended up throwing it all away....

The food was great. It was a unique style of food that couldn't be found elsewhere. The store owner was very welcoming and often checked on us to make sure that the customers were satisfied. Would definitely come again!

The food is very neat. It feels like home cooking. It's not the taste of food you get in Korea, it's the taste of real food you eat at home. I enjoyed every single side dish.
